so petunia gets fed two meals a day, breakfast and supper. plus she gets apples and graham wafers and cantaloupe whenever a suitable food source passes by. apparently this is not enough, now she wants lunch. how do i know this? because at lunch time today she was flipping her bowl at me. kind of hard to miss the point of a well aimed flying dish.
someone gave copper a chew stick today. i haven’t seen it but i know he got one cuz he is currently sitting outside in the rain screaming his head off.
spritely’s leg looks good tonight, jenny’s limp is a little bit better. dex can’t understand why we missed our walk and grammy should quit standing on and bending her gate.
pheobe is doing very well in her home and chris is choked cuz i forwarded the happy phoebe email to deb instead. but she still gave me soup!
I think it is awesome the way Carol shares her space, her time, her food, her knowledge, her wisdom…..
I just wish she didn’t share her flu bug.
And since I don’t have any chicken soup, I guess I’ll just pour a shot of scotch, curl up in a cosy comforter, and feel sorry for myself.
Blech.
funny how things change overnight. maude who is 14 years old and can run and run and run and run. who can scale the fences here with a bit of effort and a willing heart. who leaps up upon my bed each night and whenever i go out to lay across my pillows.
last night, she could not jump up onto the bed. she tried and tried, but she couldn’t do it. i got up to help her but that just pissed her off so she slept on the floor beside me on a soft bed. is that how old age creeps up on you? boom, one day you can’t do what you did the day before? where is the creeping part of that?
don’t worry maudie, i will find some small, plastic pee proof steps so you can still get up and i can still move in that tiny room and the pee’rs in our life won’t make them smell cuz we can bleach them!
life changes, and we change with it and one way or another, maude can still have her freaking bed!
