To-day is big Beau's 8th Birthday--and he is going to the groomer---To-morrow he goes to the Vet here in town--needs shots----no hair day to-day, for myself-- but it will be to-morrow--and, --this weekend is Labour Day Weekend--We will have a long weekend, to enjoy the final days of summer--There are no fires in this area---We are so fortunate--(have not packed my "Grab and Go" bag yet---)---Himself is doing okay--I am finally beginning to accept his condition--He is going to be 95 yrs in October, so at his age perhaps a few different responses to life, is okay----We may all be in that state one day--
Those of us who are fortunate enough to enjoy the sunshine-- maybe we should share our happiness---with people we see ---not worry about what "might" happen-- enjoy every moment --
Lynda you are an amazing person. Bless you.
ReplyDeleteI am??--- Lordy it is tough to be that way--but--I appreciate hearing that-- life can be tough sometimes --- Lynda
DeleteHappy Birthday to your fur baby, Beau! Cannot believe he is 8 years old already; I remember when he was a puppy! Hope you have a calm, peaceful day in spite of the car/groomer stress that Beau has…
ReplyDeleteYOU are strong, capable, and fantastic! ❤️. Eissa7
He was an adorable puppy-- ---and he understands english now--an amazing feat eh?--LOL--- always has been a good fellow--- (but he did chew the gate to the basement--maybe the rug also-- )--Lynda
DeleteIt's Kathy. I agree with the comment above, it's hard to believe that Beau is 8 already. I'm glad that himself is better. It must be so hard for him to not be able to do all the things he used to do. I love the meme with the happy little girl - sometimes we just have to have faith! I did something fun this morning - dynamic stretching, where a trainer helps to stretch your body. Oh how good that felt. Then I took Daisy for a walk - might be the last for awhile. We're expecting very hot days over the holiday weekend! Hopefully that will be the end of it! Have a good day!
ReplyDeleteYes, very hot days are supposed to be here over the weekend--Dynamic Stretching--- I bet it did feel good-- Daisy sounds like a sweet little one--Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda: Happy Birthday to Beau! It's much better to accept himself's condition because it's probably not going to improve.You clearly love him 'to the moon and back' and that makes it so hard to accept everything. But getting the tests and medication can only help - I think.Tonight play the piano and relax! Hugs Brenda
ReplyDeleteBrenda--everyday is a challenge with Himself--and-Yes, playing the piano really helps-- Good to hear from yu-Lynda
DeleteI am happy Himself is happier.
ReplyDeleteYou will have a busy couple days with Beau, hair and, I am sure other errands, too.
I have run one friend to a neighboring town (the one I took on errands yesterday). She gave me money for gas. I stopped at the Dollar Store (do you have those? Things there are now $1.25!) and got some interesting things.
When will I get time for my Sadie? Tomorrow for sure she will do a couple loads of laundry and vacuum. Today just dishes and lovin' on Lucky.
Nice here, too. In the 70s F mostly sunny with a gentle breeze. This weekend we are do for more heat,,,95F! Yuck.
Hope the errands go smoothly for you. {{{HUGS}}}
We have a Dollarama --and I LOVE IT!!! There is so much stuff in there--and things I never ever thought I needed till I see it in there--LOL--and-never worry about Sadie--She will come any day--LOL-- Yes--I hear warmer tomorrow-Lynda
DeleteBeau can't be 8 already! Can he? Oh, yes, the years do fly by, don't they?
ReplyDeleteRelaxing into acceptance is a lot of what life is about... and gratitude, of course! Life is good, breathe on!
Beau is a good boy--does not like the car tho-- never did--- so it is a challenge to get hi to town-- Nothing is easy these days Barb--Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda
ReplyDeleteLoved the inserts and now we must remember to have faith and it will all work out as it should.
You are an amazing woman. You inspire us every day.
Happy Birthday to big Beau. My DH has his BD today too. They both have heart conditions and are very cute and sweet. I hope travel to groomer and vet isnt too bad.
Himself going on 95 is quite amazing. We know you love that man so much. Keeping you both in my prayers.
Its gorgeous in St.Louis. Cool temps, open windows and sun. Plus a full blue moon. Cool temps are temporary but so lovely. Makes me happy to be alive.
Blessings in your day
Hugs
Well I did love him--kinda questionable on some days--Poor guy --My book tells me that his mind is sick-- and to ignore some of the crazy stuff--walk away- There is an Alzheimers-group starting the middle of August and I shall attend -- It will help--I hope-Lynda
DeleteSo good to hear you up-beat and accepting today. You have a b usy day with Beau so enjoy it. I had a friend in the same situation as you and she said she had a short saying she would repeat to herself when things were going downhill - sort of a mantra (?) - something like "this too shall pass and all will be well tomorrow". Said it kept her focused and could help clear her hurt. Worth a try!
ReplyDeleteHave a fun weekend - will any of the kids be there for the lake? D.
Yes I will try that--because yu really want to bash him in the head--but-- I try to turn away and pretend I do not hear him--Lordy Be!--Whatta situation eh?--Lynda
DeleteHappy 8th birthday to Big Beau. Wow! Time has flown, hasn’t it! Good luck with the groomers trip.
ReplyDeleteGlad there are no fires in your area. That’s a blessing.
Hard to have to deal with the challenges YOU are dealing w/due to Himself’s mental status. BUT it sounds like maybe the Lodge is good for both of you. Even though Himself would NEVER say that in a million years.
Yes, our weather is fantasti right now and enjoying it. It is going to change! 90’s Saturday through Tuesday. One day @ a time.
Here’s to a terrific Thursday.
Hugs
Barb

It is warmer here now--and for the next couple of days--boy oh boy Barb--Was yer Mom difficult to handle also??-- Himself seems harder to handle now-Lynda
DeleteHope things are going smoothly this week. Poor Beau, groomer & vet all in 2 days time....have a great week.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow is my hair day...can't wait.
The vet says now--that Beaus appointment is Sept 6th--and that is definitely an act of God--LOL-- He was happy to get out of the groomers thos afternoon-Lynda
