Humandad is back to work so me is getting me putter back!!!!!!
Teddy take something for his old joints, it is usually pills but because of the shutdown and everything the store was out of pills so Humanmom had to get the drops to put on his food and Teddy is making a fuss about it. Humanmom say it is the first time in Teddy's whole life that she as to fight with him to make him eat.
I finally was able to go to my agility club yesterday after 2 whole long week not able to go and it was fun and me was having so much fun that me got kind of brain-dead and did about anything and got kind of wild and me did learn just one new thing!

Good morning everyone Happy Monday we are suppose to get rain this evening here been 97 hot for mommy she stays inside because of her skin too easily burned. Willy glad you were able to finally get to agility class and learn one new thing Pippi sorry mommy is hurting today and glad the outside kitty came back and did not get hurt with fireworks. Hoping mommy doesn't give you a bath today. Glad the lightning did not knock out your A/C Toby sorry you still not getting rain and mommy is smart to stay inside when so hot out Hershey wondering if you are back from your car adventure tell us all about it. Wild Ones it is heartbreaking to lose all these precious animals so close to one another. Mommy has the newborn baby dolls almost finished she only has 14 more black ones then she is done will have done a total of 98 for him. Pooks Molly how glad all you furs were fine and you saw some pretty fireworks mommy did not even look outside to see if our neighbors were shooting off pretty fireworks or just those noisy ones we kept hearing. Mommy nephew had a memory come up on his facebook page of when he and his family visiting mommy and daddy in Florida in July 2013 which was a few months after daddy had his stroke and before his decline in dementia. It is a beautiful picture of daddy smiling he loved when family visited and mommy hold AJ who is now and and no longer with us.

UsurpingToby I think we have a chance of rain again this afternoon and tomorrow. We're getting into our summer afternoon pop up thunderstorms weather. Wish we could send you some. Mom would have liked to work on the wood chips a little more, but they were still pretty soaked from yesterday. willy yay for getting computer back, and a bigger yay for getting to go to agility club again. Woo-hoo! What is the one new thing you learned? DALLAS my mom burns easily, too. So we give your mom sympathy. Mom tries to get out and do stuff in the yard early when there is more shade in the yard ... and it's a little cooler. The bad thing is the humidity is often higher. That is a great picture of mommy, daddy, nephew and AJ. all around. What a great memory to have pop up. Daisy & Josey I think we are up in the low 90s again today, too. Do you two like the water? Mom is wishing we had a pool we could all cool off in. I know I like the creek, the lake and a good mud puddle is always nice. hehe. I've got a little kiddie pool but we haven't pulled it out in a long time. Mom gives the birds plenty of little pools though.

Willy, I am totally jealous of your class! It is so hard to concentrate when there is anyone around who might pet you.
Mom says she is jealous of anyone getting rain. We were at 97 with no water prospects in the future. WO, we don’t know how you manage 116 degree weather.
Tori, that is such a great picture of your family! I bet it makes Mommy smile to look at it. Or cry. My mom often cries at old pictures. (I hope yours smiled.)
Pippi, be careful that your wood chips don’t spontaneously combust!

Woof, everyfur! I'm back from our adventure. It was furry nice where we went, to the town that loves doggies. But there was lots and lots of walking, and I'm not as young as I used to be. By the middle of the second day, daddy was picking me up and carrying me evfurrywhere. Here's me and daddy, but I know you can't really see me unless you know how to make it bigger. I don't.
DALLAS, thank you fur posting here about Krickette and Harley D. They were good pals of mine on Dogster. That's a furry nice photo of AJ and your fambly.
willy, what did you learn in your agility class?
Pippi, my mommy is like yours, she loves weather that she can watch and hear! But we hardly evfur get that kind. It's sunny and cool at our house (65-ish), but inland things are starting to catch fire.

Good morning everyone Happy Tuesday Hershey glad you had a great time that is an awesome picture of you and daddy they should invest in a big stroller so they can put you in it when doing a lot of walking so daddy doesn't have to carry you around. Willy tell us the new thing you learned Pooks Sorry it is going to be a hot day for you reaching 90 Pippi tell mommy to bring out that kiddie pool so you can and cheeky can cool off in it. Mommy doesn't work in the yard she used to when younger but nowadays just sits on her butt crocheting or knitting Wild Ones That is mommy nephew the son of her brother Bob. He is the one whose sister Jessica died a few years ago. Unfortunately Toby mommy loves the picture but made her wishing daddy never had his stroke and into dementia wishing she could have him back to his old self smiling and happy. Well we had a heck of a thunderstorm here last night sounded like the thunder was right above our house louder than the fireworks and the wind howling and rain pouring but today only going to be 89 She finished all the newborn dolls crocheted into a cocoon the man Ed is picking them up on Wednesday afternoon at 3:15 pm she did a grand total of 98 including the 25 she gave him last week Today at 1 the nursing home will be calling to talk about daddy

Well, it is not a real agility class be it is Humanmom who teach me because we don't have the right to share the agility ring right now because of the human virus. Me is the fifth dog Humanmom as train and she was an assistant in 2 agility classes for 2 summers so me guess she might know what she is doing.....me hope!!!!! What me did learn is for me to get ready to learn the weave poles. There are 2 poles up and me did learn to go to them on the right side for the entry to the real weave poles. Those weave poles are the hardest obstacles and have many steps to learn to make them right and the entry is the first step!
Me is giving a hard time to my humans since last evening.....when me was tiny me did start to kill the screen door in the back of the house and me kind of did run clear trough it the other day because me was chasing a fly and not looking where me was going and a repairman did come and get the door yesterday and the humans are trying to put stuff there to keep me inside but me find ways to go out anyway so me is ending up in prison.......

Great picture Angels Hershey & Winkie! I bet you had lots of fun willy you are something else !! But you shouldn't go outside alone. Mommy never has let us doggies out for over a few minutes alone and then she is always in the bedroom with the door to the backyard opened. She's either straightening the bed up or putting on earrings and then joins us right away.

TheWildOnes mom says it makes her feel ill to even think about your temps. Forget covid, I think your temps alone should warrant hiding at home and not leaving the house for months. hehe. UsurpingToby we had some more rain during the night and a fair chance of more today. So our wood chips are staying pretty soaked. All the better for making mold to stir up mom's allergies. hehe. Yesterday at one point you could just see steam rising off the pile that still needs to be dealt with. Angels Hershey & Winkie glad you are back and had fun. What a great patriotic mask your daddy has on. You can click on the pic and see it bigger. You are nice and patriotic looking with your red, white and blue bandanna, too. That is great that daddy could carry you when you got tired. Did he let you get down and smell things? We have a stroller that Dutchess and Pixie have used. Mom says it'll be time for Cheeky and I to use it before you know it. We've used it when eating out with a local dog group. I hate to hear about the fires out your way. And as usual I am envious of your temps! Mom is going to be really envious in a couple of weeks. She is going to take grandma for a colonoscopy. They want someone else there, but the someone else has to wait in the car, and they don't want them to leave and come back. The wait ... they estimate about 2 hours. Mom is NOT looking forward to that. She can't run her car that long. Maybe we will get lucky and that day won't be as hot and humid and will be overcast to help keep it a little cooler. DALLAS sometimes after mom works in the yard the next day all she does is sit on her butt. BOL! I hope you get a good report on daddy when the nursing home calls today. willy I never realized you had to enter the weave poles from a particular side. Hey, I figured if you got through them that was good enough. hehe. How fun that your mom has had so much experience with agility. I used to love any kind of class mom and I took together. Mom still tries to work on tricks with me from time to time, but I tend to start going through all my tricks and not paying as much attention to what mom is asking me to do. hehe. Killing the screen door ... tee hee hee. Oh what an opportunity. I think it would be hard to resist the free pass outside. I'm sorry it is landing you in prison though. Daisy & Josey we don't have a fenced yard so no time alone in the yard for us. Even if we did mom would be out with us, especially Cheeky. Mom is afraid a hawk would try to get her. She said I might be big enough they wouldn't try, but Cheeky isn't much bigger than a squirrel. So we don't blame your mom for not letting you out alone. On the day we first got all the wood chips mom ended up with a little spot of rash. She's not sure what she got into, but guessing it was something in the chips. It wasn't poison ivy - hasn't blistered and acted like it, but it sure has been itchy. Well, whatever it is seems to be slowly spreading. It started as a small strip near her collar bone and now more of her chest, neck and starting onto her chin and jaw line is getting itchy. Nothing seems to be helping much or for very long. Mom has tried Benedryl cream, cortisone cream, calamine lotion, taking an antihistimine, but frequently throughout the day she is itchy, itchy, ITCHY! She's no fun when she is itchy. She gets grumpy. So Cheeky and I are having a lazy morning. Soon we're going to supervise mom doing some chores around the house. We keep a close eye on her. Sometimes it is so hard to find good help you know. BOL

Oh Pippi , we are so sorry to hear about your mommy having the itchies!! That is no fun! Have her try clotrimazole! (It is found in medication for Athlete's foot. It was the only thing that helped mommy's rash.) As for our heat, well, you learn to live with it. Really, you can't leave? That's crazy! As long as you stay close and have a cell phone!! Angels Hershey & Winkie , your trip sounded like you had a great time and we LOVE the picture! If you are on a laptop, you can just click on the picture and it gets bigger. Doesn't seem to work on a tablet, though! DALLAS we hope you get good news today and hope your mommy can see daddy soon! Daisy & Josey , we don;t get to go outside by ourselves for more than a couple minutes either! There are BIG scary birds around here! UsurpingToby we are in our "monsoon season" and haven't seen any measurable rain sinc way before it started, so we are jealous, too! We are calling it a "nonsoon." willy , how cool!! We love the weave poles!! Our screen door is one of those security doors, so there is no destroying it. You're a lucky dog!! Hee hee!! This afternoon is Tango's follow up appointment. Not sure we have seen much change, but he isn't pacing as much.

Yes, DALLAS and Pippi, the pawrents are already talking about getting stroller if we evfur all go traveling again.
Tori, I hope your mommy got a lot of information and good news about your daddy today. heart
willy, you have some pretty high standards to live up to in your agility. Be good and pay attention to mommy. And don't go crashing through doors!
Pippi, tell your mommy to take an ice pack and a cooler full of ice and cold drinks to survive being trapped in her car. Surely the hospital doesn't really expect anyone to sit out in a car in all that heat. Also, tell your mommy that when my mommy had shingles she put apple cider vinegar on the rash and it stopped itching and cleared up in under two weeks. That was after the doctor suggested cortisone shots and told her it would take six months! It might work fur your mommy, if she doesn't mind smelling like a salad!

Ha! My mom tried using a cider vinegar rinse for her hair, and people kept telling her she smelled like salad!
Pippi, is it wood from the wood chips causing your Mom problems? Does she react to rhododendron? If not, has she been eating chocolate covered raisins/almonds/peanuts? Gma was having a problem similar to what your Mom described, and we suspect the shellac in the chocolate.
Hershey has some good suggestions for staying cool. Is there any business nearby where you might sneak off to cool down? A cafe where you could order something cold? A bookstore? Gosh, waiting in the sun like that seems impossible- even dangerous.
WO, what did the doctor say about Tango? Was he/she pleased?

Tori, is sounds like Mommy might soon be visiting with Daddy! 😁 That is wonderful. The home seems to be looking out for their patients too. That is good news.
Willy, you are too smart and too funny for your own good! Mom is soooo entertained reading about you, but she is glad she doesn’t have to try to out-think you.
