Stay safe & warm, friend~
How kind of a neighbor to plow your driveway, there are some real wonderful people out there, and they obviously know you are one of those, too.
It amazes me that places like where we live can be lackluster with the roads. Hope they are salted and/or sanded soon. Take care.
Hope you have a Merry 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!!!
Good morning!
Just a quick hello. I'm heading out soon, Maggie has a groomer appointment. I'm going to run a couple of errands while she's there. Back home afterward to catch up with my chores. My daughter also has a doctor appointment today. I'll pop back in when I can.
I hope everyone is well and has a nice day. Hugs & prayers for all.
Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!
It's crisp & cold this morning. I ground a fresh bag of coffee to bring to work, and, I'm telling you, it's hard to beat!
There are many concerns here on MMC lately, and I'm praying for all of you. I'd appreciate continued prayers for my brother's health. He's too stubborn to take care of himself properly.
I hope y'all have a great day!

Greetings all! I am so behind on posts. Everything is a mad house around here and it's left me no time to even read through things.
I was able to ready through the past several pages and my heart just broke for some of you over the past week's events. I am so sorry about the storms, dogs' health issues, car accidents.... my goodness.I will be praying for everyone!
. . .
On our side of things - also on Friday evening, while walking Moose, our Shepherd-Lab mix, I noticed a dark bloody spot on his testicles.
. . .
Saturday late afternoon, he was walking past me and it was sooooo much worse. Not sure what caused it, but it was awful. I flipped out and asked Bud to call Derrik. Derrik is one of our closest friends and thankfully, one of the best veterinarians in our county. I was so worried he would need stitches in this delicate area. Derrik asked us to send pictures.
So.... let me ask you - have you ever tried to hold down a huge, young, strong male dog against his will on a very tall, four poster, king size bed, while your spouse tries to take pictures and video of the dog's private region?
Yeah, that was my first go round with that even too. It looked like something that should have been a slap-stick performance in an old National Lampoon movie. Especially because this dog - he has been hand raised in this house. Born in this house, bottle fed by us, because his mother couldn't produce milk, travels with us, is adored, and lives where the concept of having to fight for anything is entirely foreign to him. He has no comprehension that people can be cruel, food can be scarce or that some dogs never get to sleep on soft cushy things or one would not have a tug, chew or ball at their disposal. He's never been ill and other than occasionally having to remove a tick or get his vaccinations, he's never had anyone try to manhandle him for anything against his will. This dog thought the entire thing was a game.
He has this huge, long, thick swishy tail. If I could figure out a way to spray Pledge on the end and train him, he could dust all the shelves in no time flat. The dog is upside down, on my bed, with his front paws hooked over my bicep and forearm and bathing my face in excited playful licks with his massive tongue, while continually thrashing side to side at the waist trying to see what Bud was doing and his tail is just wagging happily, completely blocking any hope of a camera shot. Bud would catch his tail and hold it down, but Moose would snake it out, and Bud didn't want to hold him too hard as we were concerned it cause the tear to worsen. An hour and a half. It was the weirdest MMA battle ever.
. . .
So it's now Thursday and the wound looks substantially better. He does not seem the least bit bothered by it at all. Sunday was the only day he paid any attention to it. I personally think that perhaps some infection has started to settle in as whimpered several times while just laying there and was more attentive to it. Thankfully though - everything looks great now. Hope he continues to heal up easily.
I will continue to pray for everyone and hope that your week is greatly improved!
Good Morning/Afternoon christmas buddies..Hope everyone is all well today...Its been another sunny day here today...Thats my working day done woo-hoo...Time for a quick cuppa then start preparing dinner for tonite...Continued thoughts and prayers for the snowflake22 family and for Festive..Hope the meds are kicking in now my friend..Enjoy the rest of your day christmas buddies
Good to see you, Greywolf!
Aw, your poor friend ~ so hard to lose a pet. Keeping her in prayer.
Praying that Moose continues to improve ~ he sounds like such a sweetie! Quite an ordeal to get the photos/video, but the way you put it made me laugh a bit. You really have a way with words!
Alligators! Do you have any pictures of them in your yard? That has to be scary!!Do they lurk or are they out in the open? Being from MI, it is hard to even imagine having them around!
xx
Aw, poor sweetie. Sending love, strength and hugs your way, snowflake. (((HUGS)))
I was going to suggest baby food. If she is taking water, you could thin out the baby food and have her drink a bit. When Trapper was having his spells, I would give him water and honey. He loved it (he had a sweet tooth!) and it kept him going until he could eat. Have you tried yogurt?
xx
You're welcome.
I cannot recall Edgar ever having purplish leaves. He gets indirect sunlight for most of the year and then in summer it is direct, but only if I open the mini blind all the way. His pot has to be adjusted every now and then as he likes to stick his leaves through said mini blind.
Stay warm!
Interesting tidbit ~ thank you for posting!
Wow, Superwoman is right! What a great sister you have, Holiday!
Good afternoon, Prancer!
Thank you M, You stay safe too in that weather. Continues prayers for your brother.You're welcome, Festive.
I'm still beaming over the driveway being plowed ~ so kind and thoughtful of whoever.
Thank you so much for the prayers! Be safe in the upcoming weather ~ praying that conditions aren't too bad out your way.
Continued prayers for recovery for you ~ so glad you are seeing improvement! xx
I talked to him this morning and he said he was better than yesterday. Thank you for asking and for the prayers!
My prayers for you and sweet Harlowe continue. (((HUGS))) xx
Me, too!
You stay safe and warm, too, my friend! xx
Aw, poor Nitro. Praying he is better soon!
Thank you, Crown! You have a Thrilling Thursday!
You're welcome, HmG. How are Bentley and your other cats doing? I miss reading about them.
xx
Enjoy the snow!
Praying hard, Holiday! (((HUGS)))
Praying your daughter's appointment goes well. xx
You're welcome, Holiday.
My brother said he was better this morning. I'll talk to him later this evening and find out his day went.
You stay warm, too!
xx
Continued prayers for your brother and you, Brad. xx
Sounds like a fun night on tap for you.
Stay warm!
Sorry I've been MIA folks-I've been busier than I would have hoped the beginning of this year and this week I came down with an awful, awful stomach bug! I hope everyone is doing well! Hope to be back in the swing of things and here more often from now on!
