Good morning everyone and happy Saturday!
Good to see you, CL, and hoping you enjoy your birthday today.
Trissie, that is a *very* early start tomorrow! But so good that DS has an interest.
L.Ann, your tulips sound beautiful! So far, the pink ones are my favourite.
Kitkat, you certainly have your hands full!
Helian, your DMum is very fortunate now you're nearby and able to advocate for her.
Gma, that is a lot to deal with for you and DDog, but, as you say, it's all treatable, and with your medical knowledge and background I think DDog has the very best person to give her every day care.
Laura, you've received excellent advice on how to introduce Casper to your DGS. I don't have anything to add (I've not had dogs for years!) except to reiterate GMA's advice of never leaving them alone together, even when he's holder (toddlers can pull ears and tails and poke with their little fingers and, understandably, many dogs don't like this!)
Bama, that appears to be a frequent complaint -the pet food manufacturers make a product that is designed to fulfil a need ... and then the animals refuse to eat it.
Dogged, I can understand Germane disliking children - Freddie doesn't like them either. (He was abused by a toddler in his first "home" as a kitten) .
Yesterday was very good, but very full. The weather was beautiful, so I ran lots of errands in town. DH make bacon sandwiches for lunch (we had got some proper "butchers bacon" with out meat box, and it did taste good!) and then I spent the afternoon and most of the evening in the garden. So, I trimmed the bits o. The hedge, weeded and deadheaded, fed the pots, cut the grass and sprayed the roses. The forecast for today is wet, so I really wanted to make the most of a beautiful dry day.
Today, DH is meeting DBIL (day trip only!) and some friends. I'm meeting DFs HT and R, and some others for a meal this evening at a restaurant out of town. Fortunately, I'm giving SR a lift, so we can get lost together!
I'll print out the directions, so she can be navigator. I'll need to get some prep for Sunday lunch done before I leave (I have bought DH"S favourite coffee ice cream for dessert and we have plenty nif cake left, so I don't need to bake this week, which will save me time), but it's really just a case of taking some meat out of the freezer and prepping the veg. Not sure what else to do , it's drizzling ATM, so will probably leave cleaning the car unless it clears up (next week is supposed to be dry and warm,.so might be better to do it then?) . In any case, there is plenty to keep me occupied round the house!
Freddie
