Just so real compared to my brightly colored captive water turtle
It's been a very sad day here, Fudge died this morning before I could visit.
She was just a couple of weeks short of her 14th birthday which is a very good age, but we always want to keep them longer don't we?
Although she wasn't my dog I've had a lot to do with her over the years and my sister always says I'm her other Mum. When I saw her on Tuesday evening she was very weak but managed to wag her tail and lift her head when she saw me which amazed my sister because she hadn't done that for anyone else for days. So our gorgeous girl has gone and left a huge void in many lives but she's not suffering anymore and is probably now running around in doggy heaven chasing rabbits again.
RIP Fudge x

Darn I was hoping you would get to see her before she left today . I've been watching the posts. She looks like an adorable dog in the picture. Sorry.??
Thanks Cathie, I actually said my goodbyes to her on Tuesday because I wasn't sure she'd last yesterday. She was adorable - not a bad bone in her body. If a burglar turned up she'd have rolled over for a tummy tickle!
So sorry. The saddest part of loving a puppy dog....they bring so much joy in your life. Hugs to you & your sister.
Thanks Jan, we'll miss her. She had us all wrapped around her paw and had such expressive eyes she would use them to practically talk to tell us what she wanted. She always made us smile and we have such lovely memories of her.
Good morning all, it's dry again here but temps OK.
We have northerly winds coming in next week so we'll be down to mid to low 40Fs and really feeling the chill then.
Not much planned today other than stocking up Lola's larder and a run to the charity shop.
I hope everyone has a good day and I'll see you later.

Ogh darn & so sad. Such a cute little pup. ??. Glad that you have such great memories.
Here’s another one…. Much warmer & sunny yesterday. I saw about 20 turtles basking away.
and here is what I typically see…..<the splash>
What a great picture! It's a shame RES are so invasive cuz they sure are fun. I had a big dog chewed RES named Scruffy, she was kept in the bottom half of a big dumpster, with filtration and all that. She was fed good and loved. BUT...she was a very typical RES, she was meaner than 14 snakes, if she could have she'd of bit my arm off at the shoulder. So after years I thought she'd be better off in my sister's pond, from which she escaped never to be heard of again...lol
So...remember this photo of Simon with his head under the dishwasher?
it took about 24 hours...then...
oh my...
bye bye mousie...

She looks absolutely lovely, and so sweet. I am very sorry, but at least you know she received and appreciated as much love and happiness as she gave to you all.

Good boy, Simon! My deceased Maine Coon cat Jasper was a good mouser, too. My 2 cats now might chase a mouse but would never catch it because their attention span is about 10 seconds.
I love that first picture!
We got really low last night. It was 24°f in our backyard and 28°f in the front yard. It's funny how the temperature is so different from the front and the back yards. During the summer in the day the backyard can be 20° higher or more than the front. But the front yard stays warmer through the night and the early morning. Hope you found some good usable deals.?
Dilly would look at me and tell me about it but he's no mouser. Probably expecting me to catch it myself ?
Good morning/afternoon all weather much the same as it's been all week.
I had an early start today to take my nephew for his booster covid jab. They sent him a 6 pm appointment but they are pretty flexible and as long as you go on the same day they sent you, you can turn up any time. So we went for 9.30 am and it was a good move, no queue and he was in and out by 10. By that time the queue was trailing round the building so it was very well timed.
I have to have my booster on the 29th and I'm going to go early for that too - much better than having to wait around all day.
I hope everyone has a good Saturday - see you later.

We've had over a week of foggy mornings then overcast the rest of the day. Yesterday the sun actually came out in the afternoon. It felt SO good, but foggy again this a.m.
I'm interested in seeing what Mark is making with his layered wood, but I guess life is keeping him too busy to work on it.
I really like that you pop in daily and give us an update. Makes me seem a lot closer to you than we are. I had the Johnson & Johnson injection and was told I don't need a booster, but then I heard that I will need a booster. At any rate, I only had my jab a month or so ago, so I won't be needing the booster for a while.

Happy Saturday all.
pretty cold overnight here in MD, our front garden fountain had long icicles hanging down. Sun was up on time.
