Christmas Countdown - 2016

[xmas365]

Good evening,

I took a day off from MMC yesterday, it was our getaway trip for my wife and I. We didn't bring our electronics with us. We went to the Mohegan Sun casino in Connecticut. We had a great time, had some great food, did some shopping, very little gambling. We had a great time, but we missed the boys. We enjoyed the Bobby's Burger Palace (a Bobby Flay restaurant) we went there for lunch yesterday and today, some of the best burgers we ever had. There was also a Carlo's Bakery (Cake Boss) there, we tried some very tasty baked goods. Buddy wasn't there, so no luck meeting him.
I am heading to bed, driving took a lot out of me.
I hope you all had a good day.

Goodnight, friends.

See you there, friend! I'll join you for one of Carl's blends.
Hope you rest well tonight after the Pines =)

Good morning!

Chilly out there today. My project went very well yesterday ~ lots more to do yet and it might take a few months to finish, but at least I am off to a good start. Working on reports this morning and later I am making spaghetti sauce with beef bacon and broccoli. Yummy!

Have a safe and merry day!

Update on Harlowe:
I Spoke to her vet yesterday, and she wants me to finish the antibiotics for her infection, wait a week to make sure it's cleared up and no further signs of it, and if all good-then re-introduce her 3 associated heart meds. Starting with the heart med for her enlarged heart. Just one at a time. Even though she is fairly confident that it was the infection making her so sick, she wants to be cautious. Then, after a week of doing okay with that, introduce the antibiotic associated with the dental, and then the lung meds. She just wants to make sure they're not interacting together for Har, either.
I asked her again about the size of them, and if she could have them cut even smaller, and she suggested buying a pill cutter at a pharmacy. I didn't know they were available to us, so hopefully that will help with getting her to take them better.
Harlowe had an okay day yesterday, stomach has been upset. But she isn't physically getting sick, thankfully. And is eating & drinking fine. Poor thing, you could hear her belly, it was so loud. Fingers crossed its a better day for her.

We have a weekend of beautiful weather coming up, and I'm looking forward to it!

Wishing you a cozy & blessed day!

I am so happy to hear that she is eating much better. Such a good sign and it will make such a difference in her recovery. Sounds like the vet has given some good advice and guidance. Hope she copes with all the meds and takes them willingly. Sorry she is till having so much stomach problems though.

How are you feeling about things? I am sure you are still very worried but you must be so pleased to see her eating and regaining her strength compared to last week. I'm so glad!
I bet you will enjoy your upcoming weekend!!

Thank you, Sam~

I am feeling pretty optimistic about things.
I really pray that the meds don't interact negatively with each other, because I want to get them in her system as soon as possible, and get in a routine for her.
It will definitely be a challenge to get them all in her, and twice a day. But I'm inventing new ways for her to take them, I never really thought outside the box before.

One thing I don't know if I mentioned here is that Patty, a good friend of mine from Las Vegas, recently told me that Chico (her Chihuahua that passed last year) was diagnosed with heart disease after we moved away. She asked what prescriptions Harlowe's vet had prescribed, and so I told her. She said that those were the same ones that Chico was on, and that they did him a world of good. Chico was older than Harlowe, and she said he had been showing the symptoms for quite some time, but since they are often associated with other issues, they didn't realize. So once he got on them, she said it was only a couple of weeks and it was like night and day. He felt so much better, energetic, no more coughing spells, like a puppy and not a senior. He lived for three more years after he was diagnosed, and didn't even pass from the heart disease. That was very uplifting to hear.

Thanks, we may even grill out. I am craving steak & pork chops!

How are the boys today?
Continued prayers for them!

Good Thursday Morning MMC! It's Friday Eve and that is a good thing! I'm leaving work a couple of hours early today to go to the dentist. Actually I am leaving an hour earlier than I really have to. I'm gonna come home and get a few things done before going to the dentist. Biggest reason I'm leaving a little earlier than I have to is because I have so much vacation time I'm about to "cap". When I hit 150 hours of PTO I can not gain any more until I use some. I will not let that happen! I'm at 146+ right now so yeah I have to use an hour or two before I accrue again in 2 weeks. Then my 3 day weekends will start rolling in! We're almost through winter I feel...or at least I hope . Glad to hear Harlowe is doing a little better snowflake!
Everyone hang in there cause it's Thursday so after one more day today our favorite comes tomorrow!
