And So It Goes........

Right after the dog show I had plans for a couple of posts......but sometimes life just gets in the way. The Monday after my dad took a tumble.....didn't tell me till the next day. It was worse than the many other falls he has had....so off to the ER we go. I thought he had a stroke.....but after a few tests that didn't seem to be the reason. He was admitted, much to his chagrin, so they could run further tests and try to get his blood pressure under control. After days of tests, and my dad being in a bad mood, they finally figured out he has calcium deposits in the arteries in his neck. This causes the vertigo and equilibrium problems. I wanted him to have surgery while he was there, but no go. Now that he's home he doesn't want to have the surgery.....so we'll see how that pans out.
While all this was going on  my son let me know his move to Michigan was changing to August 1st instead of October 1st. So we also had to get rid of a bunch of stuff, eBay...etc., and packing. So my blog wasn't a priority the last couple of weeks. In reality my son set off for Michigan this morning. I don't know how that is settling with me right now.....time will tell. But I love him and wish him all happiness in his new endeavors.

One last cig at the old homestead....

Finishing packing....

Poor Caddy.....

See you later kid!!!!!

Pretty dog pics this weekend......hopefully the whirlwind around me has subsided for a bit.....
Have a wonderful evening.......

One Year Ago.......

One year ago today I woke up to the most horrible thing ever.......my poor Lizzy so sick she couldn't stop vomiting. It was too early for my vet to be open so I took her to the e-vet. I was supposed to be on my way to my friend Cyndii's to set up for the dog show......but that clearly wasn't going to happen. After a full day at the vet's I found out she had a huge tumor in her gut. A few weeks later I had the tumor removed just to find out she had terminal pancreatic cancer......and three to six months to live. So far she has defied the odds.....one year and still doing well. The combination of the cancer and arthritis has slowed her down......but she's still here!!!! Really didn't think I'd be saying that today.........

Miss Lizzy in a bit healthier times........

Miss Lizzy now.......

So yesterday we set up for the show......I will have many pics later this weekend.......

Our booth...ready to go....

Contents of our door prize!!!!

I'm so glad Lizzy is still here with me......I never thought that would happen. 

Have a wonderful day......

Many pics this weekend......

The Weekend......

I hope all of you had a great 4th of July!!!!! I basically stayed in and did nothing , they have fireworks stands around here , so I did get to listen to that well into the night......not really a fan and the dogs hate the noise. I suspect I will be hearing the same tonight!!
So I just wanted to post some pics from the weekend.......
This was my petsitting job this weekend.......

Baby Scotties!!!

They are so cute......but puppies are a lot of work!!! When I got them out to clean their pen they untied my shoes and were clinging to the shoelaces.....made it a little hard to walk. These little guys are my friend's show dogs. I couldn't get a great pic of them....they never stopped moving.
Was driving to the rescue Friday and saw something on the road a head of me.......it was this!!!

 

Some duck with a ton of ducklings behind them. They were moving so fast I almost didn't get the pic...actually almost drove into the ditch.....but it was worth it , made my day!!!!
So now I have a task for you....I took this picture the other day of our girl , Amika. I had a bunch of normal pics, but then got this one.....how should I caption it?? Any help would be great!!

Have a wonderful Sunday evening.....
See you soon!!
