Good Thursday Morning MMC! Believe it or not Nitro had to stay overnight at the hospital. He went in to be checked on a few minor issues he's had and wound up having a seizure at the Dr. They said it could be he was due to being there and he was upset/nervous. He hasn't had a seizure in 2 months so what's the odds he suddenly had one when he arrived there? Anyway they calmed him down but he got a little touch of pneumonia from it. He had that before too after a seizure. His breathing wasn't 100% so they wanted to keep him on oxygen to help him hopefully breathe better in the next day or 2 so that he can come home. Dr. said we could bring him home yesterday (he was already doing better) but it was safer to keep him on the oxygen for a day or 2 (hopefully). I miss him lol. Telling you we are major dog people on MMC. I could never move anywhere where they won't allow me to have a dog in my lifetime. Other than that I hope Harlowe does better today snowflake. I hope everyone at MMC has a good Thursday. I hope those of us bracing for the bitter cold are prepared. And above all I hope we make it to Friday so we can get excited for our weekend!
Hope everyone at MMC is well today!

Man, I'm sorry to hear that! Praying that Nitro (love that name!) is feeling better today, and can come home.

Me, too <3
I was crying happy tears when I read that text.
She was happy to see me- Not her usual excited greeting but she was waiting for me at the door and I got a tail wag, that's progress.
She hadn't eaten anything else, but she was interested in going outside. She typically loves to go outside, and go for her walks too, but hasn't been interested in either since Saturday-until today. She actually came to me and let me put her leash on. I thought, I'll let her lead me. I figured she'd just go to the end of the driveway, but she continued into the street and towards the rest of the neighborhood. We actually went the whole way around, we were much slower but again I shed a happy tear. I'm sure it was good for her to get out of the house, and get some sunshine.
Fingers crossed that she has an appetite tonight!

So happy she wanted to go for a walk & made it the whole way. Definitely a good sign. Now continued prayers that she will eat more for you. Maybe when your friend checks on her today she will eat a little more again!! xx Sending more (((Hugs))) Have a Merry Friday Eve!

1 week ago, my wife delivered a baby girl, 8 pounds and 10 ounces. Her name is Mary, named after my Grandmother. Here's a picture of her from her new born photoshoot.

She is my heart. I have never been this happy.

I'm a shoe collector (140 pairs), so my wife thought it would be a cute picture. I agree.

She is beautiful! What an adorable picture! Congratulations!! My Grandma's name was Mary too!

Hello everyone. Sounds like some of y'all are having a rough week. Go get one of Carl's special blends on me...just have him out it on my tab.

Prayers for you all.

Thanks for all the food & drinks last night! Safe travels! Have a good day!

Good morning
Up 05 today... Couldn't sleep more when T got a phone call from work
(He's on standby, and is already on a plane)
I have baked some gluten free bread.
I guess my kids will enjoy that when they wake up in 15 minutes

I have to get some sleep when the kids leave for school.
Long day ahead, and I'm not home until 10PM tonight.

Snowflake: How is Harlowe today?

Safe travels for T! Hope you can get some sleep!! Have a good day!

Good evening,

I had a very busy day off, we bought a snowblower online and I went to pick it up at the store, I got it home did everything I was supposed to to get it running. I started it and it was working great. It stopped working, and wouldn't start again.. I brought it back and exchanged it, it worked out, the same model in the store was $100 less. So I got the snowblower, and the money back. I just wanted a working snowblower. I got the second one home and it worked beautifully. Oh yeah, it snowed today.
I ran around and did a lot of other things, I am still behind, looks like tomorrow will catch up day, again.

Goodnight, everyone.

After all the run-around...what a deal! Have fun with your new snow blower!

Good morning Festive! I'm glad to hear you are feeling better & meds are helping. Continued prayers! Happy Friday Eve!

Good morning!

Praying for all!

It is a cold one here today, and it is only going to get colder. Ugh!

While I was working yesterday I heard what sounded like chainsaws running. Figured there was a tree down/about to come down along the road close by that would be a danger so it was being taken care of right away. Turns out that one of my neighbors plowed the driveway! I have no idea who did it, but I thank them so much!!! Such a lovely surprise.

Roads are still icy. Apparently all the county did is plow, no salt, solution or sand has been put down, at least in the areas I have heard about. My road was scraped down to the pavement, but there are still several isolated icy spots. Hope the salt trucks are out and about today!

The only damage I have seen around the yard is one pine tree branch down. There are heavy clumps of wet snow on most trees ~ might be a lot more damage before all is said and done.

About to start work, so I will bid all of you a safe and merry day.

Thanks Meceka for all the thoughts & prayers! How nice of your neighbor to plow your driveway! Hope you don't discover any more damage!! xx Stay warm! I hope your brother is doing ok after the accident!! Have a good day!

Awe!! So sorry to hear about Nitro!! Praying he has a much better day today & gets to come home quick. It's amazing how much we miss them when they aren't there. Even if it's only a few minutes like at lunch after I drop Gracie off at the groomer - weird to not have her there! I'll be thinking of you guys! Have a good day!

Good morning MMC! Happy, Happy Friday Eve! TGIFE!!!

Thanks everyone for all the prayers for mom, SIL & sis. SIL is home with help from Visiting Angels. Mom is in ICU. My sis was there already this morning & says she is maybe a teeny bit better. She had a sleepless night again b/c of all the coughing. Poor thing. Emergency room doc says this is caused from heart failure, not pneumonia - heart pumping so fast, but not hard enough to remove fluid from the lungs, so he did not put her on any antibiotics. Cardiologist was in later last night - he says it's bronchitis & the illness brought on a-fib. We are going with the cardiologist diagnosis! Bronchitis sounds better than heart failure to me! He ordered a breathing treatment & started her on IV antibiotics. He was in again this morning - recommends steroids through IV or in breathing treatment, but that will be her family docs call. Hopefully family doc is making rounds early this am!! xx And hopefully she improves today!!! xx Thanks again. Really appreciate all the thoughts & prayers!!

Have a Fantastic Friday Eve my friends!!!

Hope your mom feels better ASAP.

Good Morning, All.

Hey. Milestone Day tomorrow!

Today's numbers, ready for reading:
Days to the Season: 276
Days to Christmas Day: 318

And as alluded to, we will be ONE QUARTER of the way through the journey back to our beloved Christmas Season as of tomorrow!
(Incredible though that may seem to be.)


Relentlessly cold here and it will stay that way at least through this weekend.
(Believe me, I'm quite ready for Spring!)
We have commenced this latest February installment at 22 degrees here in central North Carolina.


Have a Thrilling Thursday, as we approach yet another Weekend Eve!

Milestone Friday! LOVE IT! Have a great day crown!

Enjoy the snow. YAY!!!

Man, I'm sorry to hear that! Praying that Nitro (love that name!) is feeling better today, and can come home.

Thanks Brad! He's had bigger adversity in his 10 years so I'm hoping he will recover pretty quickly. He looked ok when my brother saw him. And they gave him food and he ate it so fast he turned half blue...his normal speed of eating lol.
