Finally--December!

 

The lake is beginning to freeze--Of course it is getting colder! ---  Of course, I am late AGAIN , blogging--Is it better late than never?---  Probably not! -----
This little fellow is a "going concern"-- He is so quick-- He is upside down--- then right side up--

and--finally, there he is! 
This morning, unbeknownst to me, when I went out the front door, (which leads to the sunroom--then outside--  ) well, he followed me, as the door doesn't close fast enough-- and he is so quick-- So, in I came, shut the door, and I heard him bark--  I called him, and he barked---  He was outside in the sunroom, and as much as I wanted to give him away this morning as he --well, you don't want to know!---  I was relieved to find him in the sunroom, crying, wanting back into the house --and, I guess I do love the wee guy, and even that surprised me-- ---I guess he knows that he belongs inside here!-Lord love a duck!--HE IS A LOT of WORK!

Before I forget, the ol' weight is DOWN a half a pound-- I now weight 187 ----Amazing! ---- only 22 pounds to go-- (which might take me 10 yrs! )

We have sunshine to-day---  so nice to see! It is minus 10C-----  but that isn't so bad when one sees the sun! ---So far , the news is not telling us if our 3 shots -vaccines, will work against the new variant--- maybe we will need another shot?------and how many more?---   I guess we go day by day---just be happy to be alive---  You know, it might not be so bad to be an animal in a second life---  Look at Lopez--not a care in this world! --

  2. Great loss. WTG. Looks like Lopez will soon be too big for his bed. Christmas gift for him?? Winter is here but the geese have not all left. There are still a flock flying back and forth every day. They go west to the lake area in the morning and then back east every evening around 6. Looks like they will stay. Does that mean a short winter with not too much snow?

  3. Lopez is cute as ever, they grow up so fast.

    We go to get our booster shot in the morning...we are still careful when we go anywhere.

    Have a great Wednesday

  4. Lynda, I feel for you, concerning Lopez. My second Chihuahua did EVERYTHING that Lopez does, everything!! And she never fully trained, I'm sorry to say. I do hope Lopez does. He's mischieveous & fun, a typical Chi! :)

    Our weather seems to mainly stay in the 30's (F), nippy but nice, especially with a beautiful sun like today!

    Hugs to all of you!

  5. Awwww, I imagine little Lopez was confused and scared! But glad you found him!

    HURRAY on being down ½ lb.! Excellent work.

    **SIGH** I know! Worried that the shot and the booster aren’t going to be enough against this variant. HOWEVER, the Merck Covid pill is still coming down the pike. We’ll see what happens w/that.

    Hang in there w/wee Lopez.

    hugs

  6. Sun and 60 degrees in St.Louis today. Incredible for December 1st.
    Congrats on weight loss YAY
    Lopez...well...he's quite the handful
    At least he didn't get outside and run off. I'm afraid Lopez is too much a handful for me to tackle. I admire all that you do to try to get that little guy trained. Still hoping he'll settle down and get with it SOON. Enjoy your day and the sunshine. Hugs and blessings.

  8. Good for you on the weight loss, I love hearing about your success. My Daisy likes to lie upside down like that - they say it's because they trust where they are. My cat has done that when I take Daisy outside - she likes to sneak out the back door and then around the corner so I can't see her. She's been known to be outside for awhile before I realize I haven't seen her for awhile!

  9. Love the pics of Lopez. With a face as cute as his it would be hard to not love him even when he gets into mischief. Enjoy the sunshine today!

  10. Oh, He is such a cutie! Pups can be so exasperating, but they just work right into our hearts and are such good company. How is Beau getting on with him?

    Yay for you losing!!! You're doing so well; I'm striving not to gain during this season, and hopefully can get myself back on track after all the holiday feasting is over.

    I enjoy reading your blogs no matter what time you post them. Sunny here, with low of 51 and high of 71F. Last year we had snow right at Thanksgiving; one never knows!

    Happy Wednesday!

  11. Lopez has it right: Fresh air sometimes, warmth, toys, full tummy and proximity to those we love and who love us...those are the things that are important! {{{HUGS}}}

  12. Hoping Lopez is chipped, and perhaps get some kind of thing on him, in case he gets out and lost, so it will help you find him. Good luck…

  13. Little Lopez is quite a handful. But he is still puppy. Things will get better - some time! But look at how he helps you lose weight. Must have been real bad today as you didn't mention what he did. Maybe he'll think he got shut out for being bad!! This Covid is unbelievable. Wonder if it will ever finish!

  14. Lynda, I love your blogs. I enjoy hearing how all of you are doing. Makes me feel like I have family around who is telling me all about their life.

    Lopez is so cute. Yes he is a handful but because he is you are still losing weight. You have lost most of this weight have you got him and I am sure you will lose the rest as he continues to grow and add frustration and also joy to your life.

    Have a great day

  20. Lynda, It has been a few days since I commented on your blogs. I read them every day, I enjoy them very much. I don't want you to think I have forgotten you. I couldn't do that.
    Enjoy the rest of your evening

  21. Takes a little training to get the Chis' to learn but I am glad he "talks" when you call him. We can leave doors open here in our TX. home and Daisy stands and looks out. Won't leave until she is given permission. We lost our other Chi but had many good laughs. She got into the bedroom but couldn't get out by herself. So she barked and Daisy went up, opened the door to let Keeleigh out. Lopez will get there!

  23. Those puppies! They sure do take a lot of patience!

  24. I don't know about the animals not having a care in the world. If they didn't have someone that loved them and cared for them they would become ferral and constantly on the move to find food and shelter. You know how long it took to tame Sushi. You are a good woman Lynda! With lots of love to give.(((HUGS)))
