Oh no...poor girl!! Prayers she has a speedy recovery!Good Tuesday morning, Christmas friends!
Yesterday was going great until I went home for lunch. I took Lulu out to do her business, then she chased after a squirrel. She stopped in her tracks and looked at me, but didn't move. I went over, and she was carrying her right rear leg. I rushed her to the vet, and he says she tore her ACL. Now she has to have another surgery, and three months of near-immobilization after. Bless her heart, she still wants to run, but can't. I've been lifting and carrying her, waiting on her scheduled surgery on Thursday. I'd appreciate prayers for her.
And I hope y'all have a great day!

Oh, poor Lulu; trying to slow down a dog must be like trying to slow down a toddler. I hope she heals faster than predicted.

Thank you. O'Malley and I are getting along like we were never apart. I had a few errands to run and each time I returned, he was happy to see me, but as soon as he greeted me, he retreated to the single mattress for more rest.
He's resting next to me on the floor right now, likely hoping I'll give him a bedtime treat soon.
My dad called an hour ago when I passed along some of the photos I took and he's already looking for another adventure. I'll pop over on Friday for a visit.

Well, I am plum tuckered out. Might catch up on some sleep tonight.
But before I do, I forgot to mention yesterday that I picked up a few Christmas souvenirs in my travels. I am well stocked for the next ornament exchange.
I was delighted to find a few shops with full sections devoted to Christmas treasures.
Stay jolly! See you at the Pines tomorrow.

Good Morning, Center-of-the-Weekers.
Have we really come that far so fast? Is it really 'Pines Day again, already?
Carl says so, therefore it must be true.
But let's confirm by looking at the calendar......and while we're at it, we might as well check on the count numbers and our next Milestone.
Days to the Season: 112
Days to Christmas Day: 154
And the 100-Day Season Window?
Well, that's now just twelve days into the future.
And following the day after tomorrow, we will be SINGLE DIGITS away from it!
As promised, the long-awaited cool off arrived yesterday......along with lots of rain, some lightning and brief severe weather warnings.
(Seems like it's either heat or storms for us, recently.)
Today will see us into the mid 80's, with only a 10 percent chance of rain.
We stand at 68 very damp degrees here in the capital city at this hour.
Well, 'Pines Day means the Shispering Pines Inn. And the inn means Carl. Carl means twinkies, tea and entertainment. And entertainment means watch out, because you never know what you're going to get.
But whatever it turns out to be, it will be fun so please plan to come.
In the meantime, you have a Wonderful Wednesday, Everyone!

Good Wednesday morning, Christmas friends!
It's MUCH cooler this morning, feeling more like late October than late July. It won't last long, but I'm enjoying it right now!
Lulu is doing ok. She doesn't really seem to be in pain, and her appetite has actually increased, but she does stop at steps to let me pick her up. A have to take her to the vet tomorrow for surgery and leave her overnight. Scary for me! I can't decide if I should visit her later, or if that would upset her when I have to leave again.
Anyway, I hope y'all have a great day!

Good morning all!
Not much on the agenda for today. No football practice today. The weather is still pretty nice. I will probably mow the grass today, while listening to the Tracking Santa replay of course.
