Good morning Fall is here but not in Tucson…..lol Rick called the Vet when he got up because Roger’s abscess changed overnight and was puffy and full. He was able to take him at 1:40 and they cleaned it out and gave him an antibiotic shot. When they came home and Rick opened the carrier of course he ran and then he was running all over the house with blood dripping everywhere, even on the bedroom carpet. UGH! He finally settled down and laid on the towel i put in the closet for him. He has been sleeping there since… Read more »
I had that with Sophie when she got a twig stuck in her cheek I pulled it out but within a few days it was infected and the vet had to treat her but it didn’t bleed like Rogers thank goodness , poor guy ! 😿
He is at the door meowing to go out right now…..He doesnt like to be indoors all the time.
My only kitty I had years ago was the same. If I did not let him out when he wanted he would start running up the curtains which he had full of snags. Cry and carry on, I could not keep him in.🙀
Yes Roger will start to scratch our new couch if we dont let him out so it has a blanket on it now plus he pulls the kitchen door open but there is a security door so he cant get out.
This made me laugh but I know it isn’t really funny. They can be so strong willed. 🙄
He had been living outside on his own for a couple years when we finally took him in
Cute image Ardy!
Happy Fall, it does not feel like it for you yet but it sure does for us. Only 44 this morning and 40’s all week for lows and 60’s for highs!
Oh what a sight for you with Roger bleeding and running around. I hope he feels better very soon with the antibiotic shot.
I’m pretty sure he feels better already ’cause he wants to go out really bad
aw, poor Roger…I know how it’s hard to keep some cats in, that’s why I understand my neighbor letting her cats out…I often have to
“babysit” them in my yard, though, trying to keep them from killing everything and pottying in the yard..and then I worry when one doesn’t go home for awhile..
It is very hard to keep him in! We wish he wouldnt go out at night …Rick tries to get him when he goes to bed…..he seems to get in cat fights.
cat fights would be a worry…my sister decided to keep one of her cats inside all the time..it took months to get him used to it.
that is why he has so many abscesses
Hi Ardy
I’m so sorry about Roger bleeding inside the house after Rick brought him home from the vet 😞
Thanks Kathy♥
Good morning, Yesterday morning I was in the shower and suddenly the coil to the showerhead started making a loud noise and it was jumping almost out of the holder. Thankfully I was almost done rinsing off and had rinsed my hair. Denny went out to turn off the pump which was mostly blasting air. Our well went dry! We packed up some food and other stuff and left for the apartment. We will go back and pack up more stuff today. Thankful it lasted as long since this is our second year of a severe drought many are losing… Read more »
Hi Jenn
Oh my!!! So now do you have to depend on rain to fill the well? Glad you were getting ready to move to your winter home.
Yes, rain over time. It does not happen fast and how badly I feel for people who lose their wells now. They have to improvise with buying gallons of water and you can buy bigger containers of water. That is hard to wash up and harder to do everything.
😪
Drought getting very serious in places now not had any rain 3 months in parts of the South.🙄
Oh dear Jenn!! I’m so sorry your well went dry. Thankfully you have the apartment that y’all could go ahead and move into 🙏🏻 I hope your well will be restored once enough rain falls to replenish it.
Hi Jenn
Oh dear, Jenn!! I’m so sorry about your well going dry! Hopefully this winter will provide enough rain to restore it 🙏🏻 So very thankful you guys have the Brunswick apartment ready so that y’all were able to go ahead and move into it a bit earlier than originally planned 💜
Oh no Jenn! That’s awful about your well going dry; and all the other folks losing theirs. 😔🙏 Thank goodness the apartment is ready for you.
Good morning, dismal day I had hoped to get the ladder out and cut some Ivy down but not today so it seems ! I cut some grass yesterday and I am so not fit months of not having to work in the garden and I am puffed out after 15 minutes ! Well my faith in the human race has been renewed as I was trying to get a huge bag filled with garden waste into the large garden bin with great difficulty a man came in the gate and said do you need any help ! well shock… Read more »
Hi Beryl.
I am with you on the puffed out bit but you last a bit longer than me 10 minutes for me.lol.
What a kind man good for him I would have done the same but not enough puff these days.😀😘
Hi Beryl, That was great that this man appeared and helped you with your bags!!
Yes as I was stuck holding the bag half in the bin and couldn’t work out how to get it in , lol !
😀
😂
Hi Beryl,
Sweet image 💕
That was so nice the man came along to help you. Had you seen him before?
Yes he was a councillor on the council but that day he was delivering a local booklet about local news and we had a nice chat !
How nice!
That was perfect timing for him to be there when you needed help. 🤗
that was so nice of the man to help you.
Hi Beryl
How very nice that man helped you out 💝
Good morning.
Beryl, Jenn, Ardyth, Kathy, Lynn, Pam.
A misty and cloudy morning but it will get to 76F they say.
No sunshine today and very light wind again plus still no sign of any real rain here.It is that day again already….PRETZEL DAY.lol
Just rubbed some knee concoction in to see if that helps a little.
They do not feel too bad this morning but we shall see how they perform at Lidl’s.
See you all later.😀😘
Morning Ice
Did they have a pretzel waiting for you?
Hi Andy.
They were waiting for me, got my PRETZEL ok nice and chewy today,😋😘
Good morning Ice,
I hope that knee ‘concoction’ helped you get about better at the grocery store.😀
We both are in a drought and it is not good.
Hi Jenn.
It dulled it a bit but it dd not last got me around Lidl’s though.😀😘
Hi Ice
I actually shopped at Lidl a couple of days ago. I wondered if this is what your Pretzel 🥨 treat looks like. I didn’t buy one myself.
Hi Kathy.
Bang on the same you should have tried one.😘
Happy ‘Real’ Anniversary to Kathy/Craig 🍾
💕
Thank you 🥰
What a night ⚡ ⛈⛈⚡ T-storm started around 11p, then we lost power about midnight, i did call the power co.; finally came back around 1.30a — still storming; thunder/lightning and RAIN. Slept about an hour then woke with a cramp in my leg; got back to sleep about 4a til about 7.30a. And poor Chuck, said he woke to pitch dark, there’s absolutely no light in the basement and his phone was on the charger across the room.
RockyFord City Works Dept website from last night ↓↓
23:08pm just off to bed and saw your post and I hope you all keep safe and sound!
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger ( what a stupid saying that is just add it to the list ) ! 😘
Thanks Beryl 💗 That really is an absurd saying 😏 😄
Hi Pam.
We could do with a night like that here.😘
Good grief Pam, what a night!
Oh poor Chuck, nothing worse than not having your phone or a flashlight when it is pitch dark!! Thankful he did not stub a toe.♥
Good Morning! Sunny and 73 going up to 92.
Craig and I are going to MapleWalk Garden this morning. After that we plan to go to Trio Restaurant for our anniversary meal.
