It's a US thing too. But people do get hungry for ice cream when it's cold outside... especially with a warm piece of pie.?

Hi Linda, glad to hear you are all well.
England is just starting another lockdown and in Wales we are due to come out of ours on Monday.
Some of it hasn't made sense like the big supermarkets not being allowed to sell goods that aren't 'essential' so aisles of electric goods, and other sundry items etc have been covered over and blocked off. They say its to be fair to the smaller shops but people will just buy online instead. Then they closed the tips again which is crazy as they only allow one car on site at a time anyway so you are more likely to bump into people with covid in the shops! Just results in fly tipping.
Hopefully these mini lockdowns will help.
Good to hear you are still able to help the animals.
Fireworks have been going off all week around me at all times of the night and will continue for a few weeks more. It's a nightmare for the animals.
I was just able to get on here but she's in my prayers everytime I think of her.
Good to not see you check in Linda but wish you were around more often.. been missing your postcards... glad the the lockdown won’t change much for you.. stay safe!
How's Jess doing Heather? We're all thinking of her.
Hope you both manage to get some rest tonight.

I hate them too for that exact reason!

And the little hedgehogs in the bonfires ?
I'm surprised I haven't had them here because of the election. Anymore, the yayhoos set them off whenever they feel like it. It's illegal in our state but they do it anyway.Fireworks have been going off all week around me at all times of the night and will continue for a few weeks more. It's a nightmare for the animals.
Sorry the update took me so long.. they feel like the surgery was a success.. they were able to test some of the nerves after repair and get them to “fire”...but it will take months before Jess will start getting motion back.. They had to shorten her humerus about an inch and stabilize it with plates. They clamped everything together around her existing ball in shoulder with steel. Surgeons said they were satisfied with the range of motion that they were able to get with that as well.. last night and today were horribly painful for her and there was lots of swelling but she has started to level out the past couple hours (SO THANKFUL) and was able to sit up and eat some.. They think we may get to go home by the end of the week. She will get about 4 weeks of healing to solidify the nerve repair and will then have to begin the king therapy process.. All in all , I think they have performed a miracle! They took nerves from cadavers and repaired 5 separate nerves and fully expect them to regenerate and work!!
When my sons were little guys they became so frightened by a 4th of July show I've never liked it since. Of course we left. That was over 30 years ago.
Good.
I hope none of the staff tries to dognap her.?
I'm so glad you still get to do your animals for you and them. And the lockdown isn't really going to be a big struggle for your family because you're surrounded by love.?
It's amazing what they can do now-a-days. thumbs up!
They would bring her right back as soon as she started snoring ? Seriously, she has received a ton of compliments on her behavior.. She has really done me proud, done her job well, and earned her keep;-) if it was possible to love her any more, I do!!!
So good to hear! I can only imagine her pain and I have both broken and bruised bones. Be strong
So pleased it all seems positive, and hope the pain can be managed well for Jess.
It's amazing what they can do these days with micro surgery etc.
Wishing Jess a speedy recovery.
People aren't supposed to set them off after 11 I think here, but there's no way of policing it, and the police aren't interested anyway. I recently found out that they won't even go to shops who catch shoplifters unless they have over £250 worth of goods. There's just no deterrent these days.
