Yawn Yawn, Wakey Wakey...!!!! MK8...

Aloha everyone,

When I asked Steve about taking a day off he said he would probably be up to his neck in work so I said all the more reason for you to have one days rest to look after Amber. I think it should be ok I will keep my fingers crossed.

Shiney you seem to have a lot on your plate at the moment. I hope you manage to get through it all.

WOO yes, the weather here is much the same as yours after all there is only a strip of river running between our homes.

Have a good day everyone and those under the weather, hope you feel better soon.

Aloha!

 

Good afternoon everyone,
I'm late on parade today....having a job trying to muster myself this cold is taking some shaking off and is wearing very thin on me now
Hope everyone else is OK.... We're forecast a cold snap next week so atleast that might kill off some of these nasty bugs going around

Take it easy everyone and take care

 

Morning everyone,

Its warmer here but its snowing, just a little bit but its still snow!!

I'm home today, have absolutely nothing to do, so i plan on cleaning the windows, on the inside anyway and have some laundry to do.

Cant believe that tomorrow is Friday already, my gosh this week has flown by....but hey its gets us that much closer to Spring!!

Enjoy your day everyone.

 

Good evening all. Got well and truly told off by the vet. Told that unless we get this weight off her she could end up with diabetes or heart failure as well as osteoarthritis in her joints. I thought Oh Lord a replica of myself then so I must take this seriously. She was as good as gold getting her into the car. I took her out about 11am in the car to the local park and then with the aid of the rollator we managed a tour of the lakes. There were no other dogs there so I was able to let her off to have a run. Then of course I came back cleaned her up and then took her to the vets. By the time I got back from the vets Steve was home and he took her for a walk over the back fields so she really did well on the exercise today. Just got to cut down on her food. But at least I now know she has got over the fear of riding in the car which is good because then I can take her down to one of the large parks where there is less likelihood of her meeting other dogs round the back way where I can let her off to run her fat off. Well catch up tomorrow.

 

Aw well done Amber.... glad she did well in the car Moyra now all she has to do is cut down on the food.....don't we all

 

Aloha everyone,

What a miserable morning it is.

Loli, it will be hard to cut her down, but she will have to whimper away and I shall have to grow a thick skin. I don't have to tell you what they are like when they want something.

WOO, what have you done with our lovely sunrises?

I wonder where Shiney is this morning, still he was rather busy yesterday.

Have a good day all despite the weather.

Aloha!

 

moyra that is great news about Amber adjusting to travelling by car Opens up all new possibilities for you both (especially now you have your Rollator too!). Did the vet go further and advise how to get her weight down? Advice on amount/type/frequency of food? It's all well and good telling you off, but vets need to advise you on how to deal with the issues too.

wiseowl - ditto the weather! I can't see the end of my garden this morning.

lolimac - are you recovered from that beastly cold?

Penny in Ontario - I feel the same way about how fast this week has run away with us; but, you're right, means it is nearer to Spring

shiney - hope all your meetings were productive ones

First on my list today is flat pack furniture assembly for the bathroom *groan*. Mr Mum has his tools at the ready, but, if anyone remembers last year and him putting together my manger for the garden, he's bound to put something on back to front or upside down So, I'll have to be 'CEO of the Flat Pack' for the morning.

Also need to pot up a couple of Hostas that needed soaking before planting. Never grown them before so I'm hoping they will do as they are told and grow

Just as a side note, went shopping at Lidl yesterday and bought a whole trolley full of goods (have an exchange student coming on Sunday for a week and, apparently, when son was there, they make up huge packed lunches - it sets the tone!); then went on to Asda for some other bits (a third of a trolley) and the bill came to the same as the Lidl shop for far fewer bits. I'm going to rethink my shopping habits and go back a decade or two in attitude and practise. Food is becoming so expensive!

Wishing you all well and a day filled with miles of smiles xMx

 

Good morning everyone,
Same here Woo and breezy too....but still early days
Hope you got everything done you planned Shiney....thanks for the Shineyland OpenDay details take it easy...you're making me dizzy
I've rang my work to inform them i shan't be in over the weekend....they are none to pleased about it but then again neither am i....this cold of mine has really taken a hold and it's ridiculus continuing to try and 'work' it off....i'm just making my cause worse...common sence does prevail in the end
Wishing everyone well,keep warm....we're set for some nasty weather over the next week....

Have a good day everyone and take care

 

Just goes to show how rough you feel Loli because it is unlike you to yeild to a cold without a fight. I do hope you feel better soon and a R & R over the weekend should help.

Mum, The vet was only a youngster but he did try to encourage me to join their weight watchers for pets. He also said if cutting down on her tit bits didn't bring about results then I could try a reducing calorie controlled dog food which is on the market now. I don't really want to get involved in a fortnightly meeting and a monthly weigh-in but I shall be strict with her and see how it goes. Now I have the rollator and can get her into the car without too much trouble then I can take her for longer walks.

 

That's lovely WOO but I just got soaking wet filling up the peanut and seed holders for the birds.

 

Morning everyone,

Its Friday!! And its the starty of March break for us here, and the weekend is supposed to be gorgeous!!

Off to Toronto shortly, get down and back before all the traffic starts heading north to where i am.

Got a good start on my cleaning yesterday, got most in the windows done on the inside, no point on attempting outside when its supposed to rain on Sunday.

Enjoy your day everyone.
