Updates for the end of this month
Posted by doggonedmysteries
G’s husband is home from the hospital. They removed some intestine and part of his liver and will do chemo once his incisions heal. Gina is thrilled. The cats are happy, they sure did miss him.
After both Gavin and Patty had good check ups and their shots are up to date we’re hoping we have time to catch our breath and let our saving grow a bit before they need to go back again.
The Curmudgeon still has bad days mixed with the good ones but we all take them in stride.
My friend Elena is doing well, and delights me every day with an e-mail.
I am trying to get back to writing but it has been difficult when my energies are scattered in all directions–I hope things are going to settle down now.
You all have a good one!

Patty is NOT a Chicken Dog like her brother Gavin.
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Patty had a vet appointment yesterday. She was a good girl making me very proud. Talk about a hoot. She managed to suck up to the vet very quickly by giving her kisses. Then she pointedly stood on the lift table and stared at the vet waiting for her to turn on the lift and give Miss Patty a ride up. Patty is such a silly girl.
Before she realized it, she’d had blood drawn and a shot. All the while, she still wagged her tail and gave kisses. What a difference from her brother, Chicken Dog. Leaving, she insisted on stopping and giving all the girls behind the desk more kisses. She had to sit in the car, in the crate and wait for me to pay the bill because her Daddy wasn’t up to coming along but she had plenty of patience for that.
You all have a good one!

It’s chilly outside
Posted by doggonedmysteries
With the temperatures dipping down into the high to mid forties at night, I dragged out my only zippered hoodie to wear to take the dogs out. Oh my goodness, it is all stretched out, thin, and very dingy looking. Definitely past time for a new one.
Therefore, I went to my favorite t-shirt, sweat-shirt, fun place http://www.cafepress.com and found one I liked. Of course five minutes after I ordered mine The Curmudgeon wakes up, comes downstairs, sees mine, and asks me to order him one. Can you tell which shirt is mine and which one is his?


I you plan to order something from Cafe Press, contact me beforehand since I have several coupons.
You all have a good one!

Today’s news
Posted by doggonedmysteries
G’s husband’s surgery went well, they got all of the tumor in his colon–quite a large one from what she tells me. Now he needs to heal and then they will go from there as to what they will do. Chemo was mentioned. According to G they still consider him stage 4. We just hope he kicks cancer’s big fat ass and wins.

I hope to soon be back to regular posts.

Tomorrow my friend G’s husband has surgery. They will remove part of his colon, give him an ostomy bag, check his liver, and see what they can do to prolong his life. The doctor spoke of doing a round of chemo right away too. I am burning many candles for him.
We’ve been keeping an eye on my friend G and making sure she eats, rests, and, in general, takes care of herself during this trying time. I promised her another dinner and some cheesecake for dessert tomorrow.

Sad, sad times
Posted by doggonedmysteries
My best friend is devastated, her husband was just diagnosed with stage four cancer. I have no words just an overwhelming sadness. A cavernous sorrow for them, our friends of thirty-nine years.
All we can do is be there for them as they need us.
My posts may become a bit erratic for time… please bear with us.

Blank blankety blanked
Posted by doggonedmysteries
It’s bad enough when I lose a word or my train of thought derails in a fatal wreck. However, when I draw a blank on what to post here I am truly screwed.
Banging my head on the keyboard does nothing to knock things loose either, except maybe a few keys. Screaming only wakes the dogs and The Curmudgeon and makes all three cranky.
Another cup of coffee…
Yes, that might do the trick since the dogs and The Curmudgeon woke me a good hour before my alarm would’ve gone off. At least the Curmudgeon was happy the furniture people brought a replacement for his new chair which decided to fall apart within weeks of arrival.
I’ve noticed that this chair makes much less noise when he lowers the footrest…
That’s all I’ve got folks, you have a good one!

Silliness abounds even where there are grownups…
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I am amazed at what can entertain grownups for hours. I am included in that group only by age…I refuse to grow up. Anyway, a group I belong to on Facebook got started on Frankenweenie-fying our dogs. It’s a riot and addictive. By the time I got away from the page to work on this, our group had 62 of our dogs and two people Frankenweenie-fied.
The pictures are so silly most of us spent the night giggling like fools. Yes, it is amazing what we can find amusing.
You all have a good one!

No pressure day is nice
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I think we were overdue for a nice quiet day with no appointments, no visitors, and no pressure. That’s what we had yesterday. A very nice day.
The day before yesterday The Curmudgeon had another bad day where he went down on the floor again and couldn’t get back up without help. Fortunately, we found out that it wasn’t just because it was his day after his Avonex injection day, but he’d also forgotten to take some of his morning meds. Don’t ask.
Tomorrow is my Aunt Alice’s birthday, she will be 92. Happy Birthday dear lady!
You all have a good one!

Another joke…thanks Cuz Gloria.
Posted by doggonedmysteries
My cousin sent me a good joke. I knew I had to pass it on.
There I was sitting at the bar staring at my drink when a large, trouble-making biker steps up next to me, grabs my drink and gulps it down in one swig.
“Well, whatcha’ gonna do about it?” he says, menacingly, as I burst into tears.
“Come on, man,” the biker says, “I didn’t think you’d CRY. I can’t stand to see a man crying.”
“This is the worst day of my life,” I say.
“I’m a complete failure. I was late to a meeting and my boss fired me.
When I went to the parking lot, I found my car had been stolen and I don’t have any insurance. I left my wallet in the cab I took home. I found my wife with another man… and then my dog bit me.”
“So I came to this bar to work up the courage to put an end to it all, I buy a drink, I drop the cyanide capsule in and sit here watching the poison dissolve knowing I only had 8 hours left to live and then you show up and drink the whole damn thing!
“But, hell, enough about me, how are you doing?”
You all have a good one!

Another fun thing about the new car…
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I stopped at my regular gas station to fill up the new van, I was down to below a half a tank. I pulled into the full service as I always do–I have a sensitivity to gas fumes that brings on a migraine. The service man knows me and my old van, so when I opened my window and leaned out as he came around the back, I managed to surprise him.
“Squeee, new van.” I told him.
“Nice one!” He said.
While the tank filled, I showed him all the neat features. Funny how we all seem to point out the clock and how coolly elegant it is.
You all have a good one!
