A Little Bit of Everything

Stitching
I finished the Santa ornament last night. I really have no clue how I am going to fully finish it. I have that and my Home of Needleworker to do. Maybe this weekend???!!!

I have another ornament that is halfway done that I will work on next to finish.

Doggies
Lemony is so much better. I can not say really for sure what happened to her, but she has the longest reach E-V-E-R. We had salads the Tuesday evening and we placed our leftover stuff in the middle sink where the disposal is. I had also placed the skillet that I sautéed some chicken in. She is well-known for waiting until I turn my back and then stretching out her neck over into the sink and cleaning it out. I didn't clean the kitchen up immediately which I usually do and even if I walk away I watch what I leave in the sink because of her. I just got distracted and she cleaned off the skillet and ate the leftover greens, carrots, etc. The culprit though was a few grapes. My husband didn't eat his grapes. I don't think she had more than 4 and they were small and organic. IF it wasn't that, then I have no clue.

I knew the next morning she wasn't well, because she left half her kibbles in her bowl. She is a gobbler and eats everything you give her. Then a little while later she came to me and upchucked. That led to vomiting for most of Wednesday morning. I called my most wonderful vet and got her some medicines.

This morning she came back to life, but most all day yesterday, she was mopey and wouldn't even drink water. I was very worried about the grapes. They are on the NO NO list for pups.

She is all good now though.

Sweet girl doesn't like the camera, but she is all happy again.

Gus was very unhappy with all the attention she was getting and tore up one of my baskets in the living room that I keep on the bottom shelf of the coffee table while I took Mom to the doctor yesterday morning. He also wee weed in the house.

He did have a big evening last night. The twins, our niece's kids are visiting form Houston. Katelyn fell in love with him at Thanksgiving and couldn't wait to see him again. He got a full workout from her.

Mother
Now onto Mother, she advanced to a cane yesterday. I went to get her to go to the doctor and she said she just felt like she could do it. I will take that. The doctor said it was doing well and she should heal well. Now, we just need to keep her sinuses clear and get her to eat. She lost about 5 more pounds in all of this on a already small frame.

Gardening
I remembered why I didn't do petunias as they were doing awful in the heat. Not to be outdone, I decided to research what to do since they had been so pretty. I have been deadheading them all wrong. I also learned that you can prune them. I did that yesterday afternoon, so I will keep you posted on if all this works. I also have to water twice a day at this point and that isn't just petunias. It is just Florida.

Summer
Summer is here. It is already hot hot hot. I am going to enjoy summer though. As I get older I don't long for the days to pass too quickly. I have a couple more busy busy weeks leading up to my trip to Haiti, but when I return I hope to slow down and enjoy the long days. I want to use that paddle board while I am still young enough to navigate it around the bayou.

I think that is enough for now. Have a great weekend everyone.
