Hi folks. I hope you are all enjoying your week. Looking forward to the long weekend I am sure. I know I am. I hope you didn't give up on me during my absence. Honestly could not be helped. Sometimes you just need to unplug and spend time with family. I don't get to see my brother and his family often so I really do like to make the most of it. I apologize for not visiting you as often as I normally do. And leaving witty comments. I did perpetrate some drive-bys but I figured it was better than … [Read more...]

I'm a rebel.So I just got a message from my brother, not the camera forgetting old dude … [Read more...]

We try to drop as much as we can while they come down. Hubby couldn't this time as he just started a new job. But the … [Read more...]

So this is a quick post as I really need to hit the hay. So tired, been a long day. Here's some highlights:Spiker Dude went to the vet. I was thinking maybe mites as his ears were inflamed but the vet thinks it's allergies. So they gave him a cortisone injection and also an antibiotic injection. His ears look remarkably better. So hopefully this works and he returns to his grouchy old self again. I warned the vet how moody and miserable he is. Also said coupled with the pain I can't guarantee he … [Read more...]
