What's Going On

Things have been crazy at our house.  We've had a big decision to make about Dan's extended call to be senior pastor at our current church and after a full month and basically down to the last minute we have made a decision!  We are staying and Dan is now officially our senior pastor at Paynesville Lutheran Church.  

On a much more sad note we found out yesterday that Riker most likely has a brain tumor.  Upon returning from the weekend Dan pointed out something strange about Riker's face.  It was very subtle at first, but has really progressed quickly, but his whole right side of his face is drooping.  He's not in pain and he seems to be happy.  He's having a hard time, however, with balance and walking straight.  He's a good sport, but it's probably only a matter of time before the tumor grows too big and affects Riker so much that it would be in his best interest to have him put down.  We'll see though, I hope I'm wrong. It breaks our hearts...he is such a good dog.   Sweet...I can't forget sweet and innocent.  He's just a sweet and tender hearted dog.  He's been an amazing member of our family and it so hard to accept this.  We'll keep you posted.
