Feeling Better & Thank You for Good Thoughts Coming Our Way!

The dogs are better, I don't think there was anything really wrong with Soldier's stomach, except that it has become sensitive in his old age. He gets probiotics, anti-acids, yogurt, and very, very bland food. No dry dog food, just plain rice for him. He doesn't care, he'll eat anything, any time.

Please don't ask what he's doing on top of our table. He has fallen in love with it, so what's a mommy to do?

Samson's stomach upsets are much more serious because of the problems with his pancreas. So he's on antibiotics again and seems to be doing OK. We just have to monitor him closely when he gets sick like that. 

I have yet another UTI and a stomach virus too. Plus the heat (up to 105 outside), plus my injured rib, plus a temperature of up to 102 (for me), phew! But I'm feeling much better this morning. I scheduled the procedure, which I hope will provide answers to these recurring infections and perhaps get them fixed once and for all, for August 2nd.  I am really happy about it. You sort of reach a point.

Thank you so much for your birthday greetings. I'm glad you enjoyed the picnic with me. I had a great birthday.

I'm also glad you liked that picture of me, but please keep in mind that it was taken in the shade, well in the dark almost. In real life I have just as many wrinkles and sagging chins as other people my age. And I really don't care ~ as long as I'm healthy and can do things, I'm happy. I just mentioned it because after that Department of Motor Vehicle shocker of a photo, I was very pleased with it.

Hope you had a wonderful Fourth of July! I'm keeping all firefighters and others who are out there, helping to keep the rest of us safe, in my thoughts. My heart goes out to the families of those who were lost. 

All pictures, except for the one of Samson, are from my Archives.
