Dear pals,
Sorry we have been a little MIA, we are ok. Life has been something and Lady has been busy.
Here an update on her - Her birthday was perfect (thanks for all the kind messages); her car now has a new battery, and they were able to fix something they had broken and not fixed at the same time and so far so good; she did a complete face plant at pickleball on Saturday and is very, very lucky (she went down hard and fast and people thought she had had a heart attack or dropped dead!) and the only lasting damage is bruised knees and she re-injured the finger she sprained in November putting tires in the car.
Now on to us - After a week of good behaviour, we started peeing in the house again. We ruined another dog bed and we found a way to move the new gate to go pee downstairs when the people leave us and it rains. Phod's hematoma is back and bigger than ever. He and the Man meet the new vet Wednesday. Please send him some POTP if you have a little to spare. Lady has noticed us both really, really slowing down and as she mentioned before is sad and joyful. We don't love the heat.
Nature update - As we prepare this post the smoke has moved in again, and it is as bad, if not worse than before. We have had a few minor smoggy days, but this is an outside for short business trips only. It is hard to capture the amount of smoke in the air, but we hope these pictures show it. The only blessing of this, people seem to be taking the fire ban seriously and have not been doing fireworks.
Now this post makes it sound like life is all bad, and that is not true, there is lots of love and laughter and fun and beauty. To end this post, we share the flowers the Man got Lady for her birthday. She is slowly moving towards the gardening life (and in 6.5 years when she is not working can see getting more serious about it but will want something that is low maintenance).

| Lady loves them all but is very excited about this Bee Balm and hopes it brings lots of bees! |

ReplyDeletefirst things first, we always have lots of POTP for both of you and Phod we are sending really powerful POTP for you vet visit, for you and for Lady and Man and for them to be able to help you. so sorry about the face plant, the finger, the car issues and all the woes that have been pestering you.. Beau hates heat and so do I and we huddle in the house not because of smoke but of heat. the back yard is like an oven. Phod you would love the pool but we can't get Beau in it
ReplyDeleteLots of stressful stuffs is happening at your house and we hope everything settles down soon. We send Phod lots of AireZen and POTP. Mom has never had very good luck with hibiscus. Your flowers are so pretty!

ReplyDeleteOuch. Lady needs to take some time off I think, to let the body R and R! As for you two... Hmmmm. Taking the age privilege a bit far, methinks... Hugs and wags YAM-aunty xxx
Sending lots of POTP your way Phoddy, Lee...and to Lady too, OH, and for the smoke to go away, What a "fun" week it was.
ReplyDeleteWe looooooove your flowers though, and glad there was some happy color in your week too!
xoxo,
Rosy and Sunny
Gail and I always appreciate hearing your news, even when only some if it is good. We're so pleased Lady had a perfect birthday and survived the face plant without serious injury. We do hope the new vet can help Phod. Gail is super impressed with Lady's flowers. She herself is living proof that not every human catches the gardening bug when retired...
ReplyDeleteToodle-oo!

PS We heard on the news tonight that some of Canada's smoke particles have reached Europe via the jet stream, although the only visible effect is likely to be more colourful sunsets, which we likely won't see as we go to bed before sunset at this time of year in Scotland!
DeleteSorry to hear about your trials and tribulations. Hopefully the rest of summer will be easy living.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason we don't hear much about the forest fires themselves on the local and cable news. We only know when the smoke comes our way. I wish we could send you some of the rain we've gotten here in WNY lately. It's sad to think about all the people, animals, and trees that are in the direct path of it.
Love the pretty flowers!
We are keeping our paws crossed for the Lady and Phod and hope you all feel better soon. Those flowers are all so beautiful and do a lot to cheer us and you up for sure.
ReplyDeleteSending all of you, and nature, prayers
