Hershey had a really good walking day yesterday. Today not so much. Anick, I know what you mean about the sling going around the rear. We couldn't find any in the pet shops around here, so I just took niece Trish's advice and went online. I was worried about him pooping and peeing all over a dedicated rear-end sling! 😏

Thanks for all the Barkday wishes! We weren't sure he'd make it!

Happy Barkday, Hershey! Sending you lots of love on your special day.

Pooks, I am so sorry about your rough night. Are you feeling any better today? Giving you and your folks (and Molly of course) a big to help you get through this.

when I did upload a photo from my tablet to here it was about the same as from the computer but I had a hard time finding where the photo was inside the tablet.

Teddy did try his butt harness for a walk last evening and it did work out great and I now know he can poo with it no problem. Teddy is kind of funny, he never get mad at other dogs but in his younger days when a small dog was annoying him he would pee on it. When we go for a walk we pass in front of a house with a very barky little dog and sweet old Teddy doesn't like to be barked at so every time the little dog bark at him from the window old Teddy stop and poo right there in the street in front of the house and look at the little dog in the window will he is doing it.

When our pups get old every Birthday is special!

Many, many prayer's and hugs and lots of Love for everyfur and everyone. Pooks had a much better night Friday. Slept all night covered up beside me with Molly at his feet. We usually get up at 5AM now and they potty and I feed the dogs and cats. Lots of mornings we lay back down for a while. Bless each and everyone of yous.
Angels Hershey & Winkie Marty sorry I furgot Hersheys Bday. So much on all our minds.
Love you all,
Carol and Molly and Pools

Lisa, I am very bad to second guess things!

Oh Kathy I sure hope you and Stephen are both feeling better! And I hope it was just a little virus that has come and gone and nothing more serious. Gosh I still wish they could get some home health in to help with things around the house. It seems even if your health or insurance wouldn't cover it, with all Stephen has had with his health it seems like it ought to be covered for a while. If nothing else, wish you had some family close by who could help out. Keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers. Like the others have said, take the time you need. You and Stephen are dealing with a lot and that can take a lot of your time and your energy. We'll love it when we see you here and think of you and send good thoughts your way when we don't. You take care of yourself and Stephen.

Marty I have been very lucky that my vet has remained opened and that I can go in with Pippi. I probably should be more worried that they aren't doing more to distance people and have them wait in the car, but when I have been in I am glad I can go in and talk with the vet. I have heard him make the comment that they have been busier and doing a lot more surgeries because other vets in the area have had more restrictions.

for you Marty. You are spending your time and attention wisely ... with Hershey rather than online. But it is always nice to see you when you do drop in. I'm late, but Happy Birthday to Hershey! Like someone else said, those later birthdays and milestones are important.

Dee, I love hearing about Tori and Dallas chasing each other and playing. That is wonderful. I'll bet that will help keep both of them younger and more active.

Carol, I keep hoping Pooks meds and change in food will make a difference for him. I sure hate to hear he had a bad night the other night. It's so hard to watch the decline. Hope he has felt much better since then!

I am happy to say Pippi has been doing fine since she has been home. I may have to get sneaky about her antibiotic. She kept trying to spit it out this morning. She has 4 weeks of it to take. I am hoping she won't keep outsmarting me. hehe. We haven't been on any good walks yet. I've been busy trying to figure out what to do with the heat pump.

I'm also happy to report I have seen no further seizures or problems with Cheeky other than that one. So I am hoping it was a one time thing. I think at the moment (knock on wood) everyone is on the mend here.

My brain has felt like mush trying to make sense of all the information various people have given me about the heat pumps and what solutions they propose. I have quotes from two and have sent questions to two. I really feel clueless and may have to flip a coin. hehe. I'll be glad when a decision has been made and the new one put in.

That Teddy is too funny!! I love the way pups reason things out.

Dee, when (how long in the future) will you need to use the death certificates? I am still learning about all of these things in case I need to deal with them in the future. Are you worried you might forget to send someone a copy?

Lisa, great jews about your surgery date!! That is pretty soon. Will it be outpatient?

Carol, I am glad your crew had a quiet night. I remember how precious those are. I hope you have many more in the future.

Marty, it sounds like you had a successful barkday celebration for Hershey! Senior Geordie seemed to enjoy his walks more than anything.

Laura, maybe lay out all the estimates on the table and pray over them? Perhaps one will be revealed as being the best match for you. Or use the coin. I like that one!

Geez, I’m glad you are safe! I can’t believe that in this day and age there are still irresponsible people who don’t contain their pets.

I don’t blame you for not wanting to stay at Jerry & Lisa’s. They aren’t the most considerate folks to be related to. I wish I could have you over for dinner, but I think you would pay good money to not eat what I eat. 😆

Now that you’ve finished the shawl, what will be your next project?
