Friday Walkies

Today we had our walkies right after Mom came home from Mass.  THAI is doing much better with his walkies- he stayed up front with Chip for half of the walkies!!!!  Mom thinks he has lost some weight also.  Ginger was the best- she runs just in front of Mom to her right, guarding her from nasty squirrels, and Chip takes Mom's left front flank, about six feet in front, and Thai has been bringing up the rear.  Mom stayed home from the pool- she thinks it is going to rain (at least that is what her spine is telling her) and she needs to do a second coat of stain on the new baseboard and quarter round thingys for the new floors.  After we got home, we had Breathbusters and are now enjoying our 9 AM nappies.  Life is hard when you have someone like Mom to watch over!

New floor update

The dining room is almost done!!!! After the kitchen this is the MOST important room in the house!!!  Mom promises pictures tomorrow!!!!

It's Frankie's Fault!!!

Everyone knows how Mom is.  Well, when the kitchen floor was being installed, she took us to Pet Supplies Plus for a treat, which cost her LOTS of green papers.  While there, she saw this huge display of Greenies, Frankie's favorite treat for keeping our teeths and breaths clean (as if they were dirty!!!)  Anyway, Mom bought us a bag and also individually wrapped Greenies for the car.  Boy were they good!!!  Now we have to have them FIRST THING in the morning, after we come in from outside.  CHIP even likes them and he is very particular about his treats


Then we sent to PetSmart and she bought them AGAIN for the car ride home- how did she know?  Then on Saturday, Mom and Dad took us to Petco, and AGAIN, Mom bought us some more Greenies.  (She also stocked up on the Breathbusters and the fruit snacks we love)

Yes, we love Greenies, and if Frankie did not mention them on his blog, we would never had tried them.  Thanks Frankie!!!!

MOM!!!!

Mom is at it again.  Tuesday she saw her pain doctor and now she has to have another round of the facet joint shots that she had in November!!!!  Guess we are back on nursing detail.  Mom has to call today to schedule them.  The doctor was very happy that she is swimming as much as she has been- it is the only time she has little or no pain in her back or hips.  She is even losing some weight and may not need the bariatric surgery her primary car doctor suggested she look into.  She has even been taking us on regular walkies- MOnday to Friday last week and twice this week  (The thunderstorms at night have been wreaking havoc with her back again)

Gotta go- our neighbor is here to start the dining room and living room floors!!!

Monday Monday

Mom just came home from Home Depot where she spent 87 million green papers for the new living room and dining room floors.  Yesterday Dad and she painted the plywood in the dining room- they used something that is supposed to cover up pet stains!!!  (NOT ours- promise)  She had to buy more of it for under the remaining pink mess in the living room- once the dining room floor gets installed then all the furniture in the living room (half of which goes in the dr) goes into the dining room while the ugly pink mess gets pulled out>  Mom thinks that there MIGHT be some staining from us in this part of the house.  Who knows?  Can she tell by looking or sniffing? 


Anyway, great Thai news- he has completely made himself at home- so much so that MOM has to share her pillow with him at bedtime!!!  That's right- he just lays on her side of the bed and takes over her pillow, while Chip and Ginger monopolize the middle of the bed.  Mom is insisting that Dad buy a king size bed just so there is some room for her.  Who does she think she is?
