NOTHING LIKE A BIT OF WHIPPED CREAM IN YOUR MORNING COFFEE TO BRIGHTEN UP THE DAY-- WE HAVE CANS OF IT LEFT OVER FROM SUNDAY STEWS WHEN PEOPLE WHO SHOP AT COSTCO BUY THE 3 CANS-- WE USE 1 AND THE REST PILE UP..
. OR DID I TELL YOU THAT IN YESTERDAY'S DD????
****
WE STRUGGLED WITH YESTERDAY'S CAMERA SHOTS WITHOUT KITTY TO KEEP US GOING STRAIGHT.. AT FIRST GLANCE YOU MIGHT THINK WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES KITTY MAKE JUST SETTING UP A "KRAFT TABLE" WITH M&M'S ---- UNTIL SHE IS NOT HERE AND YOU FIND OUT ALL THE THINGS SHE REALLY DOES. SHE DOES THEM SO WELL THAT YOU DON'T NOTICE AT THE TIME...
WILLIAM THINKS THIS CALENDAR IS BETTER THAN THE LAST--- IT IS HARD TO IMAGINE IT --- BUT I HAVE SEEN A COUPLE OF THE SHOTS AND THEY ARE GOOOOOOOD.
**************
JIM ARRIVED WITH THE BEEF--- HE NOW HAS A BUNCH OF RAW CHICKEN TENDERS THAT THE RESTAURANT DECIDED NOT TO USE SO SOMEHOW WHEN BUD GETS A FIRE GOING WE SHOULD BOIL THOSE FOR THE DOGS DINNERS.
NOTHING BUT THE BEST !!!
*********
TODAY'S JOB IS TO GET THE NEW WOOD STOVE IN THE LAUNDRY-- I WAS NEVER HAPPY WITH THE ONE IN THERE--- IT HAD A HUGE CRACK THAT I HAD GLUED WITH SOTVE CEMENT.... BUT I COULD NOT USE IT WITHOUT SOMEONE WATCHING IT VERY CLOSELY... IT MAY BE SACRELIGIOUS TO BURN TRASH IN THE BEAUTIFUL STOVE BUT HEAT IS HEAT... AND WE HAVE SOOOO MUCH BURNABLE-- LIKE CARDBOARD... COUPLE PIECES OF CARDBOARD AND A CHUNK OF THE OLD FENCE COULD TAKE THE CHILL OFF FOR HOURS.
UPSTAIRS HAS A JOTUL STOVE--- THAT IS A SERIOUS HEATER-
*******
PERRY IS HERE-- ON THE FIRESIDE BED-- HE IS NOT IN PAIN-- HE CERTAINLY HAS A NEUROLOGICAL PROBLEM-- WE KNEW THAT WHEN HE PACED INSTEAD OF A DIAGONAL TROT.
THEN IT STRUCK ME THAT HE COULD HAVE LYME ON TOP OF IT-- SO WE ARE STARTING A COURSE OF DOXYCYCLINE MEDICATION...
WHY NOT HAVE A LYME TEST?? BECAUSE OUT OF ABOUT 300 DOGS I HAVE EVER TESTED ONLY ONE WAS NEGATIVE... A WEEK ON DOXY WILL COULD SHOW IF IT IS A PROBLEM...... IF HE GETS BETTER THEN STAY ON DOXY FOR 30 DAYS... IT IS AS GOOD A SHOT AS ANY...
I KNOW IF WE GO TO THE VET THEY WILL WANT TO DO AN MRI ETC... THE PROBLEM I HAVE WITH THAT IS THE MRI IS INTERESTING BUT DOES NOT CHANGE THE COURSE OF ACTION
WE KNEW AS A PUP HE HAD A PROBLEM-- AND THE OBJECT IS TO GIVE HIM A HAPPY LIFE- AND HE HAS THAT.
*********
THE NEXT ODD THING WE ARE WATCHING IS GROMMET--- HE IS ... LIKE BENTLEY , A WALKINPOOPER- NOT WHAT YOU COULD SAY CONSTIPATED BUT DEFINITELY HAS SOME KIND OF SEGMENTED POOPING DEPARTMENT-- PRODUCES AT LEAST 3 INDIVIDUAL PILES AND SOMETIMES IS CONFUSED ABOUT A POSSIBLE "HANGER" NECESSITATING THE USE OF A BABY WIPE
HEY YOU ALL LIKE THE DETAILS
CONCERN ABOUT POOO MANAGEMENT TAKES UP ALOT OF OUR ADAY
********************
WE ARE JUGGLING THE ARRIVAL OF CP's AND OTHER GUESTS...THIS WEEKEND.... AND INTO THE NEXT WEEK... WE SHOU LD MANAGE...
