Daisy & Josey, fall break?! Have they always done that where you live? Mommy says she nevfur heard of such a thing!
Pippi, I won't evfur have a kitty companion. Daddy's allergic. The pawrents thought a little about getting me a fursib, but really I like being the onlydog. Also, I'm not getting any younger. Mommy figures I'll be needing some extra attention eventually, like Winkie did, and that wouldn't be fair to a new doggie. So I get to have my old age in peace. Anywag, that's the plan. On the other paw, nobody was planning on Winkie, either!
It was a bootifur 72* and sunny at our house today.

Hi pals!! Sending hugs to Geordie, UsurpingToby and their mommy. The waiting is torture!! You don't want it to end, but you also just want it to be over. NOT Geordie, just the pain of waiting. We love you, Geordie! Mommy went to the store today. Forgot a couple things, of course! Hee hee! She also mopped the floors, did some laundry and vaccuumed a bit in the pantry in anticipation of it EVER getting finished. Hugs for Daisy & Josey.

WO, you are exactly right. We don't want Geordie gone, but we kind of want the pain ended. Since he can't get better from old age, we are left with an unhappy alternative. In the meantime, Mom is trying to give him everything he needs. We know he won't be here long, so she wants to spoil him all she can. I was curious about Fall Break too. We don't have that here. Is it the equivalent of Spring Break? Lemme try something.... Blog . Here is a link to what happened to me this week!

Mommy is still angry about what that guy is doing. We hope he has enough common sense to stop, but if not, we hope the police talk to him. Sabrina, that is a beautiful picture of Daddy! I wonder what/who he was for?

DALLAS good picture of your sweet daddy. We loves him. Angels Hershey & Winkie no such a thing as Fall break when mommy was little. They had 3 afternoons to do the parent/teacher meetings. It was like that when hubro and husis were little also. Its odd because now they do the parent/teacher meetings in the evenings a week before the Fall Break. They get way to many days off Yes UsurpingToby it is the equivalent to Fall Break. The kids get 1 or more days off every month of school. They end at the end of May and start back the 1st week of Aug. Summer vaca is 2 months. When mommy was little school was from the day after Labor Day till the first Friday in June.

Pooks and Molly, how does having that day off each month work for working parents? Do they have to find daycare one day a month, or do they take the kids to work with them?
Clarabelle, you are such a sweetie. Mom says we could use a sleep aid like you around here.

Once again, Geordie is rebounding from being so close to being gone to simply being an old tired pup. Once the hot weather left us, and the cold weather moved in, he really perked up. He has been sleeping peacefully, and he cleaned his bowl at dinner. Mom has even tricked him into eating kibble instead of just table food! Today, he took Mom on a longer walk than he had earlier in the week. He is very slow, but he is determined to mark every lot in the housing complex. Just thought I would share a little good news with you all!

UsurpingToby, that Geordie is like a boomerang He just keeps coming back! Winkie did that some, too. I think Geordie was his hero. DALLAS, do you evfur get to go visit your daddy?
Daisy & Josey, that's how school was fur my mommy, too. Summer vacation was three months, and they got a week off at Christmas.
TheWildOnes, last week mommy went to get groceries and filled up her cart and got up to the check-out place and then discovered she furgot her wallet! She had to leave the whole cart there and drive back home (with no license!) and then go back again.
I waited and waited fur daddy to come home from work yesfurday, and he nevfur did. He's still not home. Now that I think about it, he had his sleeping-away bag with him when he left in the morning. But mommy's still here, so I'm just confoozled. Anywag, mommy and I took the big walk to the doggie treat store today. I know she bought some spawcial treats fur my barkday coming up. There's no point trying to get an early taste from her. We'll see how I can play my paw when daddy comes home!

Whoa, where did Daddy sneak off to? Is he camping without you?
I am glad Geordie was able to inspire Winkie. Maybe some other pups will be inspired by my pesky brother too. : - )

Good morning everyone Happ0y Sunday and thanks for the compliments on daddy's picture Well Hershey sorry daddy is not home but hoping he will be home for your barkday Geordie so proud of you being more alert wanting more walks and eating more you hang in there Buddy hope you are feeling better Pooks/Molly mommy never had all those days off for school either when Jerry was young here in Kentucky if it was too cold they let them off, snow days, hot days. Mommy said did not make sense school closed because it was cold but yet the kids were always outside playing so to her they could have been inside learning just keeping their coats on and hot days they go out and play in hot days. I can understand closing on snowy days as the roads here are curvy and hilly and dangerous with snow. I think Hershey asked if we visit daddy they do allow dogs to visit if they have proof of all their shots but mommy doesn't take us as AJ would get car sick as the place is more than 15 minutes from our house and mommy said I Tori goes crazy when she smells poop and that place has poop everywhere. Mommy got a call wanting to do a survey on the home she told them she would not recommend it to anyone as the cost, and the filth but the staff does a good job they do offer things for daddy to do but with his dementia he does not participate. After she hung up she forgot to tell them they need a hair cutting there for the patients and they need to make sure staff knows the code when it changes. Everyone have a great Sunday I will be going to Rosemarie's later to play cards and kismet

UsurpingToby some kids go to the Boys and Girls Club when no parents at home. The grandsons mommy stays home now with them. Mommy stopped babysitting them at the end of 2016. They are great boys but didn't want to listen any more and mommy was just to beat down to argue with the boys anymore . With taking care of Sweet Alexandria before she became an Mommy just wanted no boys and just to be with us furs. So after Alex passed, so told husis no more!! Mommy would cry and hold Sweet Alex and sing to her and pray.
