tmi gracie

i think both gracie and i are feeling better. i slept thru the night which is unusual for me. gracie slept thru the night too which is not a surprize because she tends at night to sleep when i sleep and is awake when i am awake. she is enjoying the cooler day out on the patio and i am enjoying having the door open.
she was NOT a happy dog yesterday afternoon and late evening! i had to take her to the vet and will not go into all of the details but i have to put some cream on her bottem (not fun for her or i) and then for pain give her an aspirin. so...finally with much nipping (not to hard) and barking i got the cream on her and got wise after a few tries of getting her to swallow the aspirin i hid it in some wet food and she ate it all including the aspirin. she settled down and was like hmmm that cream makes me feel better mom and then the aspirin took effect and she was a much happier dog.....but today of cours most of the time if i am walking by her she sits down like no you are not even looking at my behind today! i might get wiser today and give her the aspirin first and then wait till it kicks in to try to give her the cream. o.k. probably tmi about my dog and her rear end but that is what is going on with me.
the lights went out today just for about a half hour. i was proud of myself because i did not freak. i called and was kind and then read some and tried to pray some and then it was not too long until they came back on. it is amazing how much we as americans do with electricity! my home is all electric,
guess what? i gave graice food with the aspirin in it and she ate it all up AND then she let me put her cream on without trying to bite me or anything she just stood there. i guess it must really help and feel better to her. i am so glad. i do not like it at all and feel so sad when she is in pain.
well going to try to think of something more exiting than gracie and her sore bum.

Hello!
ljs=Nice day here, sunny and cool. I mowed the lawn and had a friend over for sandwiches and wine. Just a simple-supper on a fall day.

Take a look at this video when you get a moment, you'll love it. And the narrator is a Canadian too! : )
p.s. I hope puppy's bottom is all better soon. I hope you flu is gone when you wake up.
Cheers.

So funny.....I always forget when the electricity goes out and keep trying to flip the light switch.

Glad you kept your cool....good for you.

Hope the doggy is feeling better. My dog is just over a year old and she was sick quite a bit as a puppy.

Thanks for your comments. ;-)
