Hey there Sand Boxers!
Help yourself to a doughnut! 
BTW,
thank you to all who posted threads over the weekend
while I was MIA, appreciate it. (()) 


 


I finally got to see Coffee this morning.  Ds didn't bring her over on Saturday as (long story)... then on Sunday he was going on a picnic in the forest and wanted to take her along ... anyway, he called last night all excited that they were on the way to the vet. (yes, again).  It seems that Coffee and her long cocker spaniel hair picked up every last tick that was crawling around the forest.  So they could not find them all.  The vet helped and then shaved her bald! (1/8 inch). He bathed her and put drops on her neck so the ticks and fleas won't land on her anymore.  Ds took her home & she concked out totally,slept the whole night, so he didn' want to wake her up to bring her over. So finally this morning I got to see the little girl.  Kind of quiet and subdued , very polite, happy to see dh and me of course.  She looks marvelous with her "summer do". (When she wakes up I'll take some photos of course) Ds says she looks like a persian carpet.. (the fur .. and he' s right).   Dh and I took her out for a short walk and then she concked out again, this time on my lap, well after 2 hours I had to get up ,,, (she's wrapped in a blanket) and totally tired so left her on the couch in the blanket. Usually she follows me all over, so I'm thinking if she doesn't perk up by 14:00 (2pm) I'll ask ds to call the vet.  (I personally checked her for further ticks this morning but could see nothing). Grandma to the rescue... glad she's here as she can just rest if that's what is needed. (too much going on at ds's office).  Oh she looked so chic in her new "PUNK" t shirt. (ds loved it)  


So sorry for the boring story, but hey that is my life right now.   


What's up with you all?   Are you all relaxed, healthy, happy and rip roaring ready for the week?

Aw, poor Coffee! And poor you and your ds, too! I'm sure the drops will work to kill any stray ticks, as well as keep more from coming on board in later walks.

Saturday evening I figured out how to get into my van, and I went to Wal Mart!!! And a trip to Krispy Kreme!!! I loved it, but too bad I had a nasty headache when I got to Wal Mart, but it was fun and it felt sweet to get out for the first time since Feb 26!! And going up to the local grocery store doesn't count. Sunday night some good friends of mine came over for a little while and we chatted, ate and watched some TV. After they left I got to finish my book, Mrs Kimble by Jennifer Haigh. Its a great book. I loved it. I had a pretty good weekend.
