I just found a huge tick embedded in Harlowe :(
Adi just helped me remove it, kind of scares me that it was as big is it was because that means it's probably been attached to her for a couple of days. She was just groomed on Friday, so I'm assuming it happened shortly after that.
I believe that explains why she's been shaking the past two days. I'm sure the packing doesn't help, but something was off that I couldn't explain. The minute that I found it on her she started shaking even more so and didn't want me touching her there. She seems much better now that we removed it and cleaned it out. Hateful little things!
She is on frontline, and she just had her lymes disease vaccination A week & a half ago.

Sorry to hear that Snowflake, I'm glad you were able to remove the tick. I hope Harlowe is feeling better. Keeping the both of you in my thoughts and prayers. Hope you both have a good night (((hugs)))

Good evening,

I didn't make it here last night, we didn't get home until 1145pm after the game last night. The Black Wolves did not disappoint last night, beating the Georgia Swarm 21-11. They clinched a home playoff game in the process, we are hooked into this sport to the point we are actually considering investing in season tickets for next year. One more home game to go to next Sunday. We can't wait.
It was just a restful day at home today, watched movies and I made my homemade calzone for dinner.
Back to work in the morning, I feel I could use at least one more day off.

Good night, dear friends

I bought my wife a Christmas present last month. That's the earliest I've ever got her a Christmas present. If you've ever been to Sonic (fast food drive in), they have this ice called Nugget Ice. It's soft and very chewable. My wife just loves it. So every week I stop by Sonic and pick up a bag for her.
Well I got to thinking and thought I would see how much a nugget ice maker costs. After a long search, $3000 on Amazon. I thought "Oh well, I'll keep buying from Sonic". But then a friend told me about this start up company selling a counter top nugget ice machine for $450. We had just got our tax return check and I thought, why not? So I ordered one. I just got an email saying it will be delivered in July. I didn't expect it so soon, so it looks like it will be a Christmas in July present.

This is not an ad. I just wanted to share. I'm kind of excited because I never get to surprise her with a big gift anymore. Hopefully she'll like.

It sounds like it's perfect timing with summer on it's way. Bet she will LOVE it!

You all have some interesting conversations on here. I just joined the forum today and this looks like where all the action is. It's late and I'm heading to bed now. But maybe I can make it back tomorrow night.
*Goodnight*

Good morning, Rich ~ nice to see you joining in on the Countdown!
 
Good morning, MMC!

I hope everyone is doing well!

My plans changed Friday afternoon when my brother told me that his Saturday work was cancelled. The shop in Japan that makes the parts his company uses was destroyed in the last earthquake there. :( Small world! Anyhow, he was worried about getting into work this coming week (should there be work) because the road he takes is going to have major construction done. We drove down there to find alternate routes so he would have less stress this morning. It was rather interesting to see where he works. We went to a few thrift stores down that way and I found a few things for the store.

Nice day, but it got even better when I got home. Lucy Fur showed up!!! She had been away since shortly after the start of the year. She can take care of herself so I figured she might have found herself an inside home. Even though I missed her, I wasn't worried about her. So happy to see her!

Yesterday was busy with laundry and spending quality time with Palmer.

Working on store stuff the rest of the week. Going to have a big sale next month so I have to prep. I'll pop in when I can.

Be safe and Merry!!!

Such a shame about the parts company and what a tragedy about the earthquake.

Lucy Fur must have been a huge surprise! You must be so pleased!

Good luck with everything. Have a good day and week.

Good Morning M,
I made it to the shops but didn't get quite what I was looking for. The cardigans/jumpers they had in were suitable as layers but not warm enough on their own for summer. However I notice a lot of shops are going to into sale so great timing to do some shopping!
