WHAT IS THE SECOND LEAST PLACE I WOULD GO TO RIGHT NOW-- MAYBE TEH LEAST-EST??? AUSTRALIA-- SO WHY TEH UNIVERSITGY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE IS SPONSORING A "FIELD TRIP" TO A PLACE WHERE THEY ARE HAVING TO SHOOT THOUSANDS OF ANIMALS BECAUSE OF A LACK OF WATER TO SUSTAIN THEM I DO NOT KNOW. ---- AUSSIES HAVE MOVED THE HUGE CRUISE SHIPS CLOSE TO TAKE HUMANS WHO CAN'T GET OUT OF THE WAY OF THE FIRES... WHERE TEH NORMAL TEMP IS NEARLY UNLIVABLE-- AS IS TEH AIR TO BREATHE..
THE LACK OF TEH PRACTICAL IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THE PROBLEMS I HAVE WITH OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM--
ABSOLUTE FACT THAT I STUDY EVEDY DAY-- IF I DID NOT HAVE THE GAS TO DRIVE TO TOPSFIELD TO BUY A LOAF OF BREAD I COULD NEVER WALK THAT FAR ( 2 MILES) AND WOULD HAVE TO RESORT TO EATING TEH PURINA STORED IN OUR YARD.
TEH WHOLE STRING BETWEEN TEH WHEAT FIELDS AND MY BREAD....MAKES ME VERY NERVOUS... ELECTRICITY TO PUMP THE GAS OUT OF THE STATION... THE TRUCKS TO GET THE GAS THERE-- THE FEW BRIDGES ACROSS THE MISSISISIPPI-- THEN THE HJUDSON -- AND CONN RIVERS -- SPEAKING OF THE HUDSON.... THE FACT THAT THE BIGGEST SUPPLY OF DRINKING WATR FOR NEW YORK CITY IS ON ONE SIDE OF TEH HUDSON AND MANHATTAN ON THE OTHER PRESENTS A VERY BASIC PROBLEM WITH GEOMETRY.
JUST AS I HAVE A BASIC FEAR OF HAVING AN OIL PIPLINE CROSS THAT BIG RIVER THAT IS A TRIBUTARY TO THE MISSISSIPPI- A HOLE IN THAT WILL CONTAMINATE ALL OF MIDDLE AMERICA.. AND THERE GOES TEH WHEAT FOR MY BREAD.
THERE IS JUST SO MUCH YOU CAN WORRY ABOUT AND CONTROL-- LIKE IF I DON'T REPLACE TEHE OVERDUE STICKER ON MY CAR THEY MAY MAKE ME PARK IT-- WHICH WILL INHIBIT MY BREAD BUYING PROJECT ON A MORE PERSONAL BASIS. AND I CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT.
******
AND....ON ANOTHER TOPIC........ I TOTALLY BELIEVE IN A TEENAGE PEACE CORP-- EVERY ONE SHOLD HAVE TO -- GO PROVIDE SOMETHIGN FOR SOMEONE ELSE--- NOT ONLY WOULD IT GET SOM PROJECT DONE , BUT IT MIGHT TEACH TEH "FETCH ME---- CARRY ME----- TAKE ME" ...GROUP TO BE MORE GIVING IN THE FIRST PLACE.
I AM NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THIS... BUT... I WATCH... ...BE IT A SCOUTING TABLE AT TEH POST OFFICE OR OR SALVATION ARMY-'S BELL RINGERS....-THE PERSON WHO SLIPS $1 INTO ANY DONATION CAN SMILES... THE PERSON WHO SEES IT AND RUSHES BY SNARLES.
---- LIKE GIVINT A CAKE TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IS A SMILE M,AKER TO THE GIVER TOO...

PIGGIE IS WORKING THEIR WAY HOME-- I DID GET THIS----
Piggie has been marvelous, such a good boy.
AND THEN
I know it's been quite some time since I have updated you on my sweet Lydia so I thought I would send you one today.
Firstly Lydia is doing very well. She had her yearly physical recently, all her labs from her Senior blood profile were perfect, all within normal limits. Her weight is good, she is happy and in my opinion aging very well :) She will be 7 in Feb.. She is of the Pimento litter. Olive and Walter.
She is having a strange issue with one toe nail which has separated from the quick. There was no apparent injury to the nail itself which made it concerning. It became infected so off to the vet we went. Long story short, two rounds of antibiotics did not take care of the problem, and her nail eventually fell off, which left her quick exposed to injury. So yesterday she had a procedure to remove the quick in hopes of it healing faster. There is a area on the quick which looks a bit off, so they are going to put that in a jar and "if it doesn't react as it should, they will send it out for biopsy".
I love my vet, I discussed with her if it were possible to do this procedure without
the use of sedation. She knows how wonderful Lydia is and felt we could do this with a block on her toe. They had me come back to the procedure room so Lydia would be more comfortable. She did amazing! So proud of her! Full cooperation from Lydia! The Vet did a very successful block and Lydia had no pain what so ever during the procedure.
Some extra measures had to be taken to take care of some extra bleeding, but it was handled very quickly.
I am SO proud of my sweet girl.
I have done her first dressing change this morning and all was perfect. No blood in her bandage at all. She is on antibiotics and pain meds and doing well with those. She has her follow up on Friday to make sure all is healing as it should.
Lydia was known on the farm as "Lydie Kitty" because she was rather timid and shy. Let me just say, Lydia has found her voice as she has aged! hahah ... She is rather serious, but happy. Still able to do her job very well <3
When we go to the vet she talks to them when they call her name, when we go to the bank, she talks to them as well. When we see friends we haven't seen for a while, she talks to them. She can even be a little sassy pants. I love seeing her come out of her shell. She has times when she still can be nervous, but far and few between at this point.
She is slowing down a bit, but so am I. I like to say we are aging in sync :D Though her random zoomies can still make me dizzy watching her..lol I love watching her kick up her heels.
Once again thank you so much for my amazing girl! Thanks to all who made this match possible. She is incredible, special, sweet, quirky, and beautiful <3 I am blessed to have her.
Thanks again,
