Good morning everyone!! Hope everyone had a great Saint Patrick's Day! The problem with the Internet is that you have to be very careful about the information you find. You can't trust everything you see on there. We hope the Special Ed teacher can be available when Coal needs her! Pippi, you are a dog after our own hearts!! Good job on protecting mommy from your aunt, cousin AND those darn cats!! UsurpingToby we hope mommy can get some good veggies planted in the garden! What is mom's favorite? Ours loves the home grown tomatoes! DALLAS, oh! We hope you have a great visit with your aunt and cousin! If you have to protect mom, though, we know you are up to the task!! Our mommy got stung by a scorpion this morning. It sure stings, and she said it feels like her thumb is sprained!!

DALLAS how nice that mommy got a dinner invitation as well as some to take home. Woo-hoo! And nice that her sister will be coming for a visit. Is her sister worried any about traveling with the current health situation? Mom's sister and niece were here yesterday. Super fast visit to pick up a car and only stayed 10 - 15 minutes. Mom said it was kind of not to them when they got here or before they left. Everyone kept their distance. Niece had just gotten back from a trip to NY City and a plane ride there and back, and brother-in-law (who didn't come) had recently gotten back from a European business trip. So some concerns about if they have been around anyone who has the virus. Mom has an aunt in GA that is in an assisted living place. It is a two story building. It is pretty much on lock down now. Not only can they not leave to go anywhere nor family come in to visit, but they are not even allowed off the floor their room is on. Normally aunt would go downstairs to the dining room to eat, but isn't allowed right now. Her son had things to bring her. Was like with your daddy DALLAS, he had to leave it outside the door and a staff member came out and got it. Daisy & Josey wonderful to hear both that it sounds like Coal will have some good support with school work, and about the meals. What a blessing. Eeeeek!!! I hate to hear about the scorpion TheWildOnes . Is there a lot of swelling with that? Mom said she needs a treadmill for me. BOL

Good morning everyone Happy Thursday Wild Ones yuck being stung by a scorpion hope mommy is okay Pooks Molly that is great the school will send home lunches to the students going straight to the house nice of them to do that Pippi daddy is in a nursing home not an assisted living and he is unable to feed himself so they feed him in his room. Take away the stuff after they feed him but sometimes he waits a long time to be fed and food is cold depending how many staff are working and with this virus the staff may be really short if they catch it outside. Hershey so sorry mommy got her fingers cut catching the skillet lid from hitting the floor. My mommy is upset heard from AARP they told her all free taxes cancelled that with daddy in a nursing home she needs to get her taxes done by a tax attorney which will cost over $100 and to find any working now with this virus they told her it is her responsibility to get her taxes filed IRS has not extended the filing deadline they have just extended the paying of the government taxes you owe.

TheWildOnes so sorry for your mommy. Hope she is alright. willy that sounds very strict. But necessary, but 12 years jail time? The grandsons got their foods yesterday! On the bus passing out the foods were some principles. Coals lady principle run off the bus yelling in a happy tone COAL!! He was so happy to see her and told her he can't wait to get back to school. Also passing out the foods were Evan and Parkers principle from grade school. That was a very happy moment for them I wonder about husis Tracy working at Kroger with the handling of money and debit cards. She has hand sanitizer and uses it every time. Mommy has gone over and seen the boys 2 times this week and yes they hugged tight! But she will try just staying put. But misses the boys. saw this on FB and had to share. Love you all

Good morning everyone! Scorpion stings affect everyone a little different. For mommy, there was no visible damage. She thinks the swelling was inside which is what made her thumb feel numb, tingly and sprained. It is much better today! Still a little numb and tingly, but probably 75% better. Daisy & Josey , how nice that the principals are helping distribute the meals! Makes them seem like very caring administrators!! willy , wow! That seems like a very harsh sentence!! 12 MONTHS would be more reasonable, in our opinion!! DALLAS , sorry mommy has to pay someone to do her taxes. Mine had to do that once. I think she went to Jackson Hewitt. Pippi , sorry your mommy didn't get to her loved ones. It sure is strange! UsurpingToby , we sure hope your mommy isn't suffering too much!!

DALLAS I hope you will be able to find someone who can help you get your taxes done. It almost sounds like with daddy being in a nursing home AARP may not have been able to help anyway. Sorry for the added frustration. willy how do they handle groceries and such for a family in lock down? Daisy & Josey I can understand the concern for Tracy handling money and have interaction with so many people. Hope she will stay safe and healthy. And how nice that the boys had such a fun experience with their meal delivery. It's always nice to hear a child say they can't wait to get back to school. Too many don't like it. So nice to hear one that does. I had fun hanging out on the sun porch with mom part of today. There is always so much to bark at. Hehe. But it was toasty and warm and almost summer like out there today. So I also had to do some napping.

Good morning everyone Happy Friday Anick I agree with strict especially if someone knows they have the virus told to stay inside and then leave to infect people they deserve 12 years of jail time who knows how many will be affected and die from them passing the virus Pooks Molly so glad daddy is still working and it was great to hear how the principles delivered the boys their meals and were excited to see the boys and the boys were excited to see them. Wild Ones so glad your hand is getting better after killing that scorpion Pippi I envy you sitting on your sun porch I miss the one I had in Florida. Mommy did explain about daddy going to the nursing home when she made her appointment with AARP and they said fine just bring in a Power of Attorney and his ID She did get a hold of a licensed tax person half a mile down the road it is a lady she explained she was suppose to get her taxes done today by AARP but they cancelled due to virus and I was told they needed to be filed on time so calling them and explained about daddy going to a nursing home in April she said no problem I said I have a copy of the guardianship paper which I was told higher than a Power of Attorney and his ID and my ID and I put my email address on the copy and phone number and put in a voided check so she can deposit a refund to my bank directly. So I called her yesterday at 11:30 told her I was on my way this way she could retrieve it after I left they had a note on a file cabinet to put all documents in the file cabinet it will be retrieved make sure phone number where I can be reached if they have questions and able to call when completed. It is in their hands hopefully if they can't get it done for awhile they will do a extension of time for filing. She could not give me a price till she knew what forms she had to use.

The 12 years of jail is for homicide because they did know they were sick and got out even if they know it could kill people. Sick people can order their grocery online and have it deliver to their doors and if they get too sick a special organism is bringing them cook meal or they go to the hospital. My area as 1200 hospital bed ready for that and right now only 12 are used by sick people .
My humans have to go get their tax papers this weekend, they are getting money back so I will try to get them to spend some on new toys for me!!!!!!

Mommy did her taxes last weekend. She is not getting nearly as much as she used to since the new tax code. But at least enough to pay some things! Maybe buy us some dog treats. willy , maybe by making it 12 years, they are hoping people will take it seriously!! Hope you get some new toys!! Pippi , hanging out on the sun porch sounds like so much fun!! Did your mom have her tan;e while out there, like ours would have, thus taking attention away from you? naughty DALLAS glad you found someone to do your taxes. Hope she wll give you a fair price! Daisy & Josey, mommy is just happy she didn't owe, at this point!!

A big woof to all my furriends! I like seeing all the happy news you bring. On TV someone asked what the best thing to happen to you from this outbreak was. One guy said he has been riding his exercise bike and has lost weight. Two people said they are learning to cook meals at home. Several were dog parents and said their pups were soooo happy to have them around. Has anything nice happened for you from this shut down?

DALLAS hopefully it won't take long to get your taxes done. I know that is a relief to know it's being taken care of now. willy I think new toys sounds like a great idea for tax refund money! TheWildOnes dog treats is a good idea, too! TheWildOnes I'm afraid you are going to have to translate for us ... you asked: Did your mom have her tan;e while out there ... is that tablet? If so, mom had that and some books out there. We're good at walking across whatever she is working on to get her attention. hehe. UsurpingToby mom sure enjoyed taking the time to watch and listen to the birds the other day. Something she used to do more often. So I guess that is our good thing from this outbreak. How about at your house? Angels Hershey & Winkie that is great you are cleared for going up the stairs now. And that you got in a walk and the limp is gone. Woo-hoo!

Happy Saturday!! At our favorite grocery/everything store Meijer what was the TP section is now a cereal section. No TP BOL!! But there is some at stores just have to look. We have enough. Meijer limits how much you can get of everything and that is good. Angels Hershey & Winkie glad you can get up the stairs!! Me Pooks will sometimes get lost/confused out back and mommy will come and pick me up and cuddle me and and me and take me to the door. Then I wag my little tail and trot on in
