Ain't he cute? This is Isaiah, my 3rd grandchild- smiling at his mama... with a face full of pizza!
I must have spoken too soon about Casey's pain- She called from school yesterday- late morning- and ended up coming home early, as her little pain pills were not working too well for her at that point. Am glad she has that appointment today to get her surgery scheduled. Please offer up a little prayer for her that all goes well.
I was out cutting lawn when she got home; and instead of going in, she sat in the sunshine by Miss Milly, and read one of her books for school. Yesterday was a beautiful 75 degrees! The sunshine always helps- (unless it's a migraine). One of her friends stopped in- and by that time, I had cut as much as I cared to for then. (And that shower sure felt great)! A lady called about the pups- and another also- (Why is it that the ratio here is about 50/50 for the good/bad prospective pet owners)? And I think some people are either genuinely stupid, or simply illiterate. The ad says to "call with personal and vet references"- (I didn't think it would be that hard to understand)? Seemingly it is.
And still another lady called, looking to get a dog as a gift for someone. A dog/puppy/animal is not a gift. (Unless you are the dad or mom to a kid that is receiving it). Too many wind up only at a shelter then only to be put to death.
The puppies- and Milly- all came in the garage last night... I have to close the door now that these "kids' are so leggy and climbing- running around. I am sure too, that I will be having quite the mess to clean up... But even as I write, it is only 34 degrees-
(Weather. Wisconsin. Wait... as they say).
Mary called last night too- Still pretty sick- And I feel so impotent as I talk with her- wish I could take it all away for her- (whatever it is at his point)- And wish she wasn't so "allergic" to doctors too... Time... Hopefully when she does finally see this new oncologist, he/she can put all our fears to rest.
Laughed more than a few times- out loud- at my little chipmunks while I was mowing. And if they weren't so darned destructive I would actually enjoy having them around. Lots of antics, (and I swear there was one that was actually playing "chicken" with the lawnmower). Not to mention how they will tease Milly too.
Better close for now- Have a good one...
XOXO
