@JoesMum How is JoesBrother and JoesBrother's girlfriend doing?

They’re recovering. The aches have gone. The tiredness hasn’t. They seem to be working through the Disney+ back catalogue as easy on the brain cells tv viewing.

He is actually on vacation until January as he was supposed to be travelling and that got covid-cancelled ages ago. So at least there’s no pressure to get back to work for him.

At least that is something. He will have a decent time to recover.

Good morning Carol! It is!!! He’s a wonderful companion for me and I have no doubt that I made the right decision. He’s very well behaved and seems to truly enjoy my company. All of his wounds are healed and bald spots are no longer bald.. I am going to have to get him allergy tested I believe.. he’s got “scabby” places in the hairline of his mane.. it’s obviously itchy. Kind of like a woman would get if you had a reaction to shampoo... I’ve been treating it but since it’s so reoccurring, I need to find out how to prevent it... I got so busy with Jess that I haven’t got it done yet.. meanwhile, we have spent as many hours as I could squeeze in bonding... I absolutely love him! Don’t make fun of me, but here’s some proof..

I love it. You have done a fantastic job with him. And I am not laughing at you I promise. I don't blame you for feeling like that one intsy little bit. He looks like a fantastic friend. And totally lovable.

 

[CarolM]

Do you have anyone who can support you with this Carol?
It sounds like a pretty unpleasant, mammoth task.
Hope you continue to get over covid OK but take it easy.
My niece said she would feel fine one day and then it would knock her straight back down the next.
You'll still need a lot of rest.?

Thank you Lyn, Yeah I know, your niece is right it does do that to you. I have decided that I am going to take a page out of this ladies book and just keep on sending her her account with the full amount showing that she owes, she will eventually get the picture hopefully. Either way she still owes it. And if she says that she does not then it is is up to her to give me the proof of payments proving otherwise. There is not much else I can do.

I have Used Groomer's Edge Furst Aid on my dogs with bad skin allergies to include bad hot spots. It is pretty mild so it could be of some help for you. There is also a MiconaHex which is an antimicrobial and antifungal. I would put it a step above the Furst Aid as response to breakout.

Wxr update: Dry start, then heavy snow for an hour, then mixed rain & sleet. Hey - it’s Winter.

A sunny pix from yesterday’s adventure to Bombay Hook NWR. Close to 16,000 acres of protected wetlands. It’s all for the birds & other wildlife.

Pretty soon you are going to become the resident wild life photographer.

That would be a dream come true. Most of my thousands of photos are of animals. And most of the things I've seen are a story of the fish that got away.?

 

[Cathie G]

Very true. I am just dissappointed because this could have been avoided if he had just followed what he was supposed to be doing. The thing is that I was being extra careful so that I would not bring it home and give it to Stephen because of his diabetes and I might as well not have bothered, because he wasn't being as careful as he should have been. Sigh. Sorry Rant over.

My question and hope is that this generation remembers all the cleanliness precautions for more than 5 minutes after they get vaccinated. Like there's no other viruses in the world right ?

Good morning all!!! Really COLD Wednesday here for us.. think we are actually getting some freezing temps tonight... Hope everyone has a fantastic Wednesday.

It's been cold but I really love watching a snowfall. And all the bird activity today has been so beautiful and funny. At one point I had three female cardinals and one male. A couple of juncos, around 3 woodpeckers, lots of sparrows and starlings etc.... what was interesting was you could definitely tell that two of the cardinals are still young because of their size and colors.?

Hello everyone, at the pulamary specialist to find out about my right lung. Wish me luck. ?????

Hope it's good news, Ray!

 

[Cathie G]

Yes she is! I am blessed!

How did you do at your doctor? I haven't found the post yet... My hope and prayers to both of you. But really despite all that you and Rose have been through, you are blessed.?

 

[Ray--Opo]

So have you gotten your answers yet? I hope that they were better than you were hoping for.

Just got back from the doctors and there is no progression of the scarring in my lung!???
Will go back next month for another breathing test to see if my lung function of 48% is any worse. So pulamary fibrosis is pretty much out of the picture at this time.???????
One less thing to worry about!

 

[Ray--Opo]

Isn't Rose exhausted yet? She reminds me of the guy in Grim, who every christmas lights up his house etc with Christmas lights and a beautiful train set etc. Very beautiful. He goes all out for Christmas. Not sure if you have ever watched the program Grim.

Don't think I have watched Grim. I will check it out.
This yr Rose took her time. A few yrs back when our schedule was busier. We were having a Christmas party and Rose wore herself out decorating and got sick. So I was glad to see her take her time.

 

[Cathie G]

All Caught up again. It looks like everybody needs cheering up and that the post cards are doing their jobs. I have to still get mine and then post them. Hopefully I can get this done soon and they don't take too long to arrive at their destinations. The sun is shining today. It is just a little windy here. Anyway I am going to have a little ly down again and rest. But until later.

When it comes to computers I look like that just thinking about it ? I don't even have to be working.
