Hi Potties - Just had 2 days of spring! It was about 70 both days so I could leave the front door open for most of the afternoon. Sadly, supposed to chill off over the weekend & then slowly warm back up.
Shelly - I understand how your son feels about the dog but if his vet can't at least help with the pain, then quality of life is all important. I still grieve for Thumper & Bru but when their quality of life changed for the worst, we couldn't bear to see them suffer. It's something everyone has to decide for themself & Selena's family had to do that when Clover's cancer got bad. Guess that's the price we have to pay when we decide to share life with fur people.
Zac has a little boy named Zander (short for Alexander) who's 2 or 3 & the daughter, Reagan, who's 6. He's very much a hands-on dad in spite of having so many income responsibilities.
If I was the dog bite lady I'd be talking to one of those "ambulance chaser" attorneys, especially since not only was her dog killed, but she was injured as well. I'd worry about the dogs going back to that owner too.
I see you may have another bout of weather coming your way. From what the weather guessers are saying, at least it won't last too long this time.Marson - I can't help but feel bad for your son & his girl friend. I can't imagine having to start over with the broken arm issues. Seems like it's adding insult to injury to be in an apartment with no heat or water. Not the 1st time? I'd be packing my bags - can't imagine no heat in Canada!
Max - We've gotten enough rain lately that I could spare a little for y'all. Now to figure out how to make the swap - my rain for a little of your warm. Hope your neighbors wait a bit before doing anything to the freeze damaged plants. I seem to remember some plants taking their own sweet time to come back from a freeze. Regardless, I don't envy you working with the vine in the fence if it's well & truly dead.
I was surprised to hear that your daughter is trying again with the dog. Maybe her vet could put him on some sort of veterinary tranquilizer until he settles down & realizes he has a home? Once Bru figured out that she wasn't going anywhere, she never chewed another thing. I'll cross my fingers that y'all are that lucky too.
I have a carpet shampooer but it's an older one & is heavy & not as simple to use as the newer ones. To say my carpets are in desperate need of shampooing is a massive understatement. Maybe I can shame myself into slowly doing a little at a time. I also need to replace the current vacuum since this one has a number of dusty, furry years on it. I'm not sure which one to choose since Shark has one that doesn't wrap the roller in hair (which is a big deal in this house) but Bissel donates to pet rescue folks, and it has a model with a rewindable cord & I absolutely love not having to "dance" around the trailing cord. Guess I'll have to spend some time on-line researching both brands.
I've noticed Walmart groceries appear to go up every week. Usually only a few cents per item, but that adds up when I use 4 small cans or 2 large cans of cat food per day. My frozen dinners aren't real cheap either but I'm willing to pay a little for convenience. At least WM is cheaper than any of the grocery stores.Katie - Nice to know you survived your procedure.
From what I saw on the weather channel earlier, you may be up to your ears in weather by now. Rhetta told me one twin & her family were on vacation in Utah. The other twin & her family were in Montana. They couldn't have picked a worse time or much worse locations to take vacations but they both are somewhat into winter supports so maybe it will be good if it doesn't get too cold.It was nice enough today that I finally got outside to burn paper trash. It was a good reason to spend a little time outside & get something done at the same time. The nice weather must have inspired me to some extent 'cause I finally made myself finish hanging the Eberhardt cat etchings in the bedroom. Also took time for vacuuming both halves of the house so I didn't feel guilty about spending a little time trying to research prices for things for the booth. Didn't find much information so will just have to give it my "best guess" & hope I stay affordable.
Time to feed the zoo & then move on to bed & book. Everybody in bad weather, stay safe & warm. Everybody else just stay safe. Later.
