Theresa, the insanity of all that is mind-boggling.  Even all the phone calls would make one cross-eyed.  Glad you had one fun day and have a young, fun dog to play with.  Bless you, dear heart.  

My thoughts on another dog:  We miss Fancy, but I know I can't do  even half the care she required, again.  I don't say much around here because Howard misses her as much as I do.  He also toys a bit with another and assures me I wouldn't have to do anything.  Now, we all know that's not possible.  So for the same reasons QB stated, as the seasons of life unfold, there comes a time when some things just must be over.  I'm thankful for  the years  with Harry, then Fancy.  Did they drive me nuts, sometimes?  Yes, Would I trade any of it?  No. 
And when the aching comes over me,  I  remind myself of the agony of putting them down, if that becomes necessary... 

BJ, hope you feel better soon and  can go  on your outing.   Sounds like Tracy is coming for the weekend.

We got another watermelon, our 2nd, and together, cut it up in big chunks, this morning.  So good, but I'm only eating it in the morning for obvious reasons!   

It's another fairly cool day here again.  Thunderstorms due this afternoon.  Tomorrow is the picnic.  More rain forecast.  They may have to move it indoors.  We'll see...

Off to find something for lunch.  I think Howard disappeared upstairs.  I hope so...  Nope, here he comes in from the garage...

Theresa, such awful times, dealing with health organizations for you mom.  God bless you for taking such care with her.   I miss my mom every day and she has been gone since 1997.  She was only 68.

Devonne, glad that Molly is doing ok.  What a huge difference in the cost of her medication!  When Brutus (our Chocolate Lab) had to take seizure medication, the vet said to check with the pharmacy.  The medication was around $25 for people, even without insurance; however, since it was for an animal, the cost was over $300!!  I forget what the reasoning was, but we went back to the vet and paid something like $79 for the month.  As far as getting another dog, I really do miss having one here daily, but for all the reasons mentioned, will not get one.  Dean really does not want another but says I can get one if I want.  I will just spend time with my Bosco.  He is here for one more day.  Like Sandra said, I, too, cannot go through the heartbreak of putting another one down.

I bought fried chicken from the grocery store and we had a salad with that and I called it supper.  Dean has been running short distances once again and he eats light when doing that.  He can now make it 3 miles at a decent pace and that is with two knee replacements!  

Lovely day today.  Still no word on the part for Aaron's A/C unit.

Happy Saturday! It’s Amary’s 12th birthday! 

Devonne, that’s a reason I hesitate to get another inside cat, I’m afraid of falling over one. 

It’s the graduation party today for great neice Kenzie, but it’s at someone else’s house who has a pool. (Strange, I know). I’m not good in the heat, so I’m not going. Ralph says he’s going for an hour. It also looks like rain. 

ACCIDENTAL BLOOPER.....
THE ACCIDENT WAS ENTIRELY DUE TO THE ROAD BENDING.

SUCH A LOVELY DAY HERE.  IN THE 70S ALL DAY.  NICE.

THERESA.....I AM SORRY FOR ALL YOUR WOES WITH YOUR MOM.  YOU ARE A TOWER OF STRENGTH WHO NEEDS A VACATION.  I HOPE SHE IS FINALLY SETTLED SOON AND YOU CAN GO ON WITH A PRETTY NORMAL LIFE.  HUGS FOR YOU.

HOLLY.....GIVE  AMARY A HUG FROM ME.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIDDO.


NOTHING EXCITING HAPPENING HERE.  ITS A NICE DAY.  I MAY GO OUT ON THE PATIO TO READ TODAY.  GET SOME SUN.  THEN THERE'S MY PILLS TO SORT FOR THE WEEK.
I HAVE BOTH CHICKEN BREAST AND A STEAK DEFROSTED BUT MAY MAKE POTATO PANCAKES INSTEAD.  I HAVE A CRAVING.  THIS TIME I WON'T MAKE AS MANY, BUT I HAVE SOUR CREAM I NEED TO USE UP SO THAT'S MY EXCUSE.
I ORDERED SOME FARMER'S CHEESE FROM MICHIGAN YESTERDAY.  THEY ONLY SHIP MON. AND TUES. AND ITS 2-DAY DELIVERY SO I MAY GET IT BY THURSDAY. 
OH GOSH, NEIGHBOR NAN JUST PHONED.  SHE'S MAKING US PIZZA FOR SUPPER TONITE.  I WILL MAKE THE PANCAKES TOMORROW INSTEAD.  I TOLD HER NOT TO BRING ME ANY MORE SNACKS OR DONUTS OR CANDY.  I HAVE INSPIRED HER TO LOSE WEIGHT NOW SHE SAYS.  WE'LL LOSE TOGETHER. 
THAT'S IT LADIES.  ONLY JOBS FOR ME TODAY IS TO CLEAN THE BATHROOM AND SORT MY PILLS.  DOESN'T TAKE LONG.
WISHING YOU A WONDERFUL DAY. HUGS, QB S
