same thing.

Wonderful Wednesday ya'll

It's overcast here and the temps will be dropping, so I plan to get outside between the rain drops and wander around the park or the hills. Haven't decided yet, but need to make up my mind soon!

Also will be making yogurt today and maybe cooking books.

Hope you all have the most wonderful and joyful day

Good afternoon to you all.

Nothing much here for now: TV, jigsaw puzzle, reading.

Good morning, quiet day I think. Donuts and danish to go with Gerry's coffee and tea. Have a Great day.

Finally got a diagnosis on my dog, Huey. Good new is that he doesn't have to undergo surgery. Not so good news is that he has an autoimmune disease that is attacking his muscles. The MRI showed that the muscles on his skull are deteriorating. So his weight loss is due to loss of muscle tissue. Besides the gauntness, his hind legs don't always have energy to allow him to get up or down high places like my couch or car. He won't even try to get up on my bed anymore. Waiting for the results of blood and urine tests to confirm so the right medication can be prescribed. The meds will stop and/or slow down the progression. Doc said he wasn't born with it. I asked if it could be the latent result of the heartworm he had a few years ago, and she said it was possible. She said it could have been coming on all these years and just now showing visibly.

If the meds are successful, he could be around for a little while yet. But they won't reverse what has already happened. He's still eating and enjoys going to play. So that's good. So, now it's wait and see. As long as he's happy, I'm happy. When it's time, I'll know it.

Butterfly, I'm glad you got a diagnoses. I'm glad there is medicine. I hope it will give him and you precious time

Fingers crossed for you and Huey butterflybabe! Maybe you can buy one of those little pet stair step stool thingies for him to get up on the couch or bed.

Good luck to you and Huey, butterflybabe !!

same thing.

All the best to you and Huey, butterflybabe! Dogs are very resilient and natural survivors. If they can slow down the progression that is awesome! I will keep you both in my thoughts!

I had a fun day with my photos today. Two were featured on WGN-TV evening news and another was on Fox Chicago. A friend of mine submitted them.

I am in desperate need of a weekend. My Friday late and Saturday morning client cancelled so I will be free for the weekend tomorrow afternoon. I'm so happy!

Good morning, donuts and danish to go with Gerry's coffee and tea. Congrats on your photos Ana, they are always Beautiful. Positive thoughts for Huey, butterflybabe.

Good morning everyone

Donuts and coffee ... the elixir for starting the day

T.G.I.F. everybody

Congratulations Ana

Woo Hoo Ana, congratulations on the photos and on the free weekend.

It's a bright and beautiful day out there. A bit chilly so I'm waiting on it to warm out before I head on out for a walk. Hope you all have a wonderful day

Published !! Well done you, BrownEyedTigre

Thanks everyone for your positive and kind words for my little guy.

Oldbroad, when Huey had a hard getting up on my new bed a few years ago, I purchased a doggy stair thing for him. He wouldn't use it. I put a 'treat' on the top step. He simply moved to side of the stairs and snatched it up. He doesn't like to get picked up, either. When the play people come for him in the morning, they pick him up after hooking his leash, so he has no choice. He is sleeping more than he used to and his energy is starting to wane a bit. The one constant, tho, is when the folks come to get him for playtime. Sometimes he hears them use the front door keys, other times opens and I tell him it's time to go play, he snaps out of his snooze, starts barking then slowly walks across the room tail wagging the whole.. The drastic change from being totally relaxed to completely alert is a comedy in itself every time.

'Winter' starts tomorrow. Major snow expected tomorrow afternoon thru Sunday. Got one place to go in the morning then I'm staying home!!

"Oldbroad, when Huey had a hard getting up on my new bed a few years ago, I purchased a doggy stair thing for him. He wouldn't use it"

Yeah, I tried one for some cats one time and they wouldn't use it either but mine was not a very sturdy one so I wasn't sure if that was possibly the reason.

All have a good week-end.

It will be my usual days of reading, walks, etc....

Take care.

For my old cat I bought a very nice leather ottoman, put it at the end of the bed and told her to stay off it. Worked like a charm. She was climbing on it -- and the bed -- in no time.

"Told her to stay off it - worked like a charm".

sports and chores.

T.G.I.F.

The weekend has arrived!

Good morning, donuts and danish in the Break Room. Dinner and karaoke tonight at the Eagles. Shopping is also on the agenda today.

whew, I am ready for the weekend and some down time

Connie, the donuts will be a great energy boost for my morning ... have fun at Eagles tonight

ButterFlyBabe ... I used cinder blocks and good ole MacGyver duct tape to secure them together so there was no wiggle ... very stable

Ana ... enjoy your down time this weekend

Chief ... I enjoy my walks every morning too

Family ... what sports you watching today?

Hagatha ... that was so nice of you to buy that ottoman ... I imagine over time your cat will come to love his bed

Hey Ho OldBroad ... what are you up too this weekend?

Hey Mad ... stay safe ... I am thinking it will be some time before we get some modicum of control over this virus

Chores, projects and R&R for me today

L4L

Seize the day everyone!
