MS wastes him away
It’s been a while since I’ve seen The Curmudgeon’s bare legs. When did they get so skinny and weak? Since when have I been married to a ninety-year-old man? Those of you who know him and haven’t seen him for a while would notice how bad he looks.
He doesn’t get around well these days although he’s still on a cane more than his walker. His face shows more age now than it did a year ago. Even his voice has aged drastically. I tell him he needs to use the weights we have to get some muscle tone back into his legs and arms, but he ignores me.
At least Lucy gets him moving a bit more. She will bug him to play with her with the Kong until he throws it for her several times.
My night shadow
It seems that once The Curmudgeon goes to bed, she becomes my shadow.
I’m not sure if Gavin is happy about this or not.
He’s usually asleep when she does this.
So, maybe he doesn’t know.
You all have a good one!
A clean bill of health
Waiting for her name to be called.
Still waiting…
Charming the reception staff

Waiting in the exam room

Mending the shattered heart
As each dog left our lives we cried and mourned and felt as though our hearts, shattered to bits, would never recover. However, hearts are resilient if you allow them to be.
You allow another fur baby to burrow into your heart and glue the shattered pieces back where they belong. Each one is different and brings a new joy. If you shy away from ‘ever having another one’ you don’t give your heart the healing it needs.
If you’ve recently lost a beloved fur baby, take heart, there’s always another one who needs you as much (or more) as you need it. Let someone in your heart to glue it back together.
Our little heart mender
Her big brudder.
You gonna eat that?
What is that?
Am I gonna like it?
We is having a snuggle you may leave us alone.
A little privacy please.
Oh my! Talk about giving someone the stink eye.
They played a bit today, wish I had more hands ….
I didn’t have enough hands to get pictures when Gavin and Gemmie played for a few minutes today. Mainly because we were keeping it very controlled. We don’t want anyone to get hurt.
Gemmie was on a leash and I was doing bribery control with Gavin. They were both way too excited. *Giggle* I never saw two tails go wagging in circles as fast as those two did. We are keeping these introductions to minimum contact and minimum time. We are taking no chances with these two.
As it is they hang outside each others crate and snooze or play bow. They are getting used to each other.
She’s so tiny she fits on one cushion!
Gemma day 2
The Curmudgeon didn’t have a good day. All the excitement from yesterday set his MS off making him collapse at the bottom of the stairs. We had to call Carlos over from next door first thing this morning to help me get The Curmudgeon into his chair. Once he had breakfast and settled down for a while, he was OK though a bit shaky on his pins.
I took the pups out and got them fed. Both of them were very good. Once The Curmudgeon was up to it, he and his new girl had a good time.
You need kisses on your ear.
On your hair too.
Yum, that’s tasty hair gel.
I went out, you can give me my cookie.
The new Mommy person said I could have this fish. It squeaks!
It made me giggle and hucklebutt.
I like the ropy toy too!
Daddy had a nap and shower and felt a lot better so I jumped up on his lap.
This Daddy cracks me up.
Whoa! Is that our TV? Kewl!
Belly tickles make me giggle.
You all have a good one!
Playing with Dad
I decided that my Daddy needed to play so I hunted for and found my green Holey Roller ball and kept teasing him with it.
Sometimes you just have to make the humans play.
I got him to smile!
You all have a good one!
They say my new sister gets here this afternoon.
This should be interesting.
