Christmas Countdown - 2016

[Holiday]

Good Morning.

OK. All together now:
"Weekend Eve is here again!"

What else is here again?
Why, the latest count figures, that's what:
Days to the Season: 254
Days to Christmas Day: 296

And one more thing is (almost) here again:
SINGLE DIGITS!
As in single digits, the day after tomorrow, to the 1/3 Season marker, our next scheduled Milestone.
(Whew!)


Rain last night after a chilly day.
Today has started off damp and rather cold as well, at 38 degrees here in the capital city.
Looking forward to a pretty nice weekend, however.


OK.
You try your best to have a most Fantastically Fabulous Friday, Friends.
And I'll try to do the same!

Yippee! Weekend is here! Have a good one crown!

Merry Friday everyone! I just got a call from my best friend that her dog, Kiefer passed away. He was 13 (flat coated retriever) and she said he was fine when her and husband went to bed. She said she came downstairs and he was laying on his dog bed, she thought he was sleeping but he was already gone. I felt so bad....such a terrible feeling to lose a furkid. I was just over there last week when my oldest daughter was helping her son with a project. I was sitting on the couch and Keifer jumped right up. Even though he was 13 he was so active and had so much energy. I told her we would come over tomorrow night for dinner and have a glass of wine. She hasn't told her kids yet but I know her youngest will be so sad..he is such a dog lover like his Mom. I told her it just takes time to get over it and he will always be with her.
Hope you all have a great day!

Awe - this makes me really sad. So sorry to hear about Kiefer! That's quite a shock! The only bit of comfort is there was no pain or suffering, but Hugs & prayers to you & your friend/family!

Merry Friday all!
School got cancelled due to the weather. This is an extremely RARE occurrence here! It's been snowing all morning and we have a coating but it's that sort of slushy snow mixed with rain.
Our winters always seem to begin in March.

I was looking forward to a little down time with the start of my nice long weekend but as my gremlins are home today those plans are out the window

Have a great Friday and an even better weekend ahead!

Merry Friday, Sam!
Enjoy the pretty snow & time at home with your Gremlins

Sorry for your friends loss, SnowflakeMom, I was talking to my step-father the other night and he told me that my dog, (who is living with him because I cannot have him at the place I rent. I had him when I was married and I got him in the divorce) is peeing all over the place. Joe is 13 on Sunday. He is starting to go blind and deaf and with this happening, it's time to have that tough discussion about sending him on. If his quality of life is going down, I feel that it's only fair to Joe to have him go before he really starts suffering even though my heart breaks over it. My daughter (who turns 14 on Wednesday) is going to handle this the worst. She doesn't handle this really well, especially when she lost her grandmother, my mom, last June. Not a decision I'm looking forward too, but I feel it's only fair to Joe to make the right one. Oy vey.

I'm so sorry to hear about Joe, friend.
Keeping you all in my thoughts & prayers. Praying for strength, comfort, and peace.
(((Hugs)))

I'll add to the list of car troubles going around. The fuel pump went out on my truck so we have been using moms car. Well it started leaking antifreeze and overheating. The problem is though, her hood is jammed and I can't get it open to figure out where it's leaking and to add more. I've been trying for weeks now. My cousin is supposed to stop by this weekend and see if he can help. He works at a body shop so he's used to dealing with this.

Glad that your cousin will try and help! Good luck, friend!!

This makes me smile!! I hope every night gets better & better & she takes her pills fine for you!!! Have a wonderful day snowflake!

Thanks, Holiday!
Praying for that <3
Hope you have a wonderful day, too!

Awe so sorry to hear this. That is so tough! We had the hardest time making that decision with Buster. Keeping you all in my thoughts & prayers.

Good Morning, friends~
Happy Friday!! TGIF!!
Harlowe has had two doses of the Vetmedin, so far- so good!
I think the tricky part will be getting her to take the huge things two times a day.
She had a good night, active, interested, walked well, saw her friend Chloe and was playful, slept in bed the entire night Made me so happy. Praying this continues.
Snow coming today, then warm up next week. Bring on Spring.
Hope you all have a blessed and cozy day~

Good morning, Happy Friday. Moving slow today, I woke up with a headache. Just wanted to pop in quick to say hello. I'll be back later to catch up. I hope everyone has a nice day <3

So funny!! I chuckled b/c I do call her "my mommy" sometimes...like when I'm talking to my sisters or my friends - in a joking kind of way. "I'm going to stay with my mommy...."
