​Taking no phone calls until better attitude, lol

Oh Honey, no worries, enjoy every minute with Hubby!
My last weeks stunk anyways, looking for new Specialists
to treat me. Have a happy 4th, love & prayers for you & yours!

did Roxie get to see the vet? hope she's feeling a little better.

My knees & my hips are bad. Sad. I think I ran "wrong" all those years. But, i don't miss running. I like to walk,hike and am concentrating more on strength vs. cardio these days.

Your plans for 4th sound fun. We hardly say "cookout" here-but I like that word! it sounds much more festive than "barbecue", lol! I think i'm going to stay in on the 4th. My 'hood has an annual potluck at the nearby park and a parade too. I live in an area of 100 yo homes (is that old for TN?), and people here are really patriotic..it's sort of like a step back in time and a slice of Americana (to sound really hokey)! I might take the boys or maybe just 1 at a time b/c having both together with the big crowd can be tricky. I also want to be home with them b/c of the firework noise.

that's nice that you will see Ray's uncle. Poor guy, sounds like he's having major health issues. I hope he gets his heart transplant soon.

How was BC today??

Thank you for asking, we had a good weekend for a change....a picture tells more than thousand words....when it come to Usko's condition....
I'm so reliefed and happy.

How is with you and the little rascal??

Thank You for the Birthday Wish, so sorry its late on my reply to you, I just forgot to Thank You. I am sorry this is late. Love You, Susan Moore (My Otis)

Oh, i'm sorry about Roxie. Hopefully she can get some good pain control from the vet tomorrow.

It's sad how my body isn't as resilient anymore. I used to run, spin, had a trainer in my 30's . I did 5K's &half marathons but now my knees are pretty shot. So when I do work out, i have to be careful. No running, no jarring moves. I did do boot camp classes at the gym and those are tough so kudos to you Tracey, for keeping at it! Now, walking, lifting, squats, lunges, pushups are my main exercises. It's called the "prison workout"!
Have u done a mud run? I did one a year ago-lots of fun. Some of the obstacles can be daunting and there were some who got injured so u really have to be careful. But something different and that might be something u would like especially if u had a friend to do it with.
Plus, u get to roll around in the mud!

Anyways, i'm glad it's a short week! i'm looking forward to the 4th of July even tho i don't have plans yet.
Let me know how the kale works out!

well, Roxie is getting up there in years and i can see how her joints are not so good. Poor thing. She's a beauty, Tracey and I can see how well taken care of and loved she has been. Hopefully the injection, if you have to get her started on that, will help ease any discomfort.
Don't forget to get some carrots at the FM today. I planted some swiss chard and radishes yesterday in my garden. I also love beets and they're so good roasted too. Actually, u can slice them thin raw into a salad and they're very good that way too. We just got back from a walk in the 'hood. Went to the park nearby and it was good for the boys to get some exercise today. Hey, do u do burpees in boot camp? This a.m. I tried doing 10min of burpees..they are very hard to do continuously though so i'm working my way up. I'm doing my own bootcamp at home. I've been lacking in the workout dept. here so i need to get back on track.

Enjoy your date tonight and have a wonderful Sat!!

She's just aging, getting old sucks...you get pain in places you never knew were possible lol. I hope you have a fantastic drama free weekend

I hope Roxie is ok.

i hope Roxie is okay, Tracey! poor thing. And poor you! i know, i wish i could sleep in too. But for some reason, i can't anymore. I usually wake up around 5am-ish but today was worse--woke up b4 4am. I did go to bed early last night tho so that's prob why plus it was kind of warm in the bdrm. TGIF!!! I'm so happy it's finally Fri. Tomorrw i have a massage scheduled at 2pm and i want to hit a garage sale in the morning and the farmer's mkt too. There's also a new coffee house in the 'hood that i want to try. I have to get Tate's nails trimmed so i'm hoping to squeeze that in somewhere, and then i have more seeds to plant for the garden as well. Oh, i want to cook something too...

Do try those carrots...i eat that every day and always buy a 5 lb bag of carrots once a week

The zoo sounded like so much fun yesterday. Would love to go again but too bad they don't allow dogs, lol!

I hope u and your hubby will do something fun. Any ideas?

hey Tracey! i wanted to tell you, another fave veggie i love to roast are carrots. All you do is peel them, cut them up into sticks, toss in a little EVOO and s/p and then lay out on roasting pan. I bake them for 30-35 min at 425degrees. Actually, i omit the oil all together and they still taste OH-SO-GOOD! maybe your kids will enjoy them? they actually taste as good as french fries!! hope you have a great Thursday. This wk has been dragging and i'm counting the days til the wknd!

My hubby said we should try Purina one of his mates dog is on that and has a beautiful coat and raw meat I have thought raw but it Ftse doesn't eat straight away when you put his food down so that sort of puts me off and I think he could get baited easier as they give raw meat. I really don't know I was looking at him last night his nose was alright and I thought maybe it was the cream I got from the vets doesn't agree with him and makes it goopey but I was thinking he smelt different never used to smell so the food is no good I have the choice of Hearthborn, Black hawk - which did not agree with him the yeast in his ears were shocking or royal canine he was better on that than anything else but he wouldn't eat it so I will have a look today if here is anything else I used to feed my pugs all home cooking but they never had any kibble and don't they need kibble? for their teeth and bones. I'm just very confused on the whole thing

Its like a hot summers day here today not bad for four weeks into winter I don't think we will be needing our coats this year. I'm having a few problems with Ftse with allergies to the food I have just had him on a grain free Candidae with salmon and he worse than ever I don't think he was this bad on the Royal canine and we don't have a real big selection here of the non grocerie store lines like America his feet are all red and puffy between his toes on this Candidae I think he has been on it 2 - 3 weeks now and his nose rope yucky I cleaned it all late last night and this morning when he got up it was all back there again yucky They really are a special breed.

I'm so happy you found Walter and he is one lucky puppy to have found by you and your family. Yes the girls will stay here and there in the holidays but I like to have only one at a time as they fight shocking but on their own they are all angels and each likes different things so this way we get to do what they like one on one. It would have been good to see your husband again we went to Seattle a few years back I really liked it there would love to go back there one day.
I have second post as this was to long

I'm not a Tom Cruise fan myself...not since high school when he was in TAPS and in Risky Business, remember those movies?! hehe. That's good that u saw that movie for free! I really enjoyed Malefecent a lot. We all had fun but i ate way too much buttered popcorn and felt so sick last night that i had to take two prilosec and some maalox. I slept really well though so maybe the artificial butter helps w/insomnia!

Hope you're having a great day, Tracey. Right now the two boys are napping and i'm relaxing. I did a bunch of grocery shopping this a.m. and prepped and roasted all my veggies for the new work week. I hate doing that stuff during the week when i'm too tired and lazy to do it.
Hope it's not too hot by you yet(?). Here , it's in the 80's, i think.

Give Roxie and Wally a big hug 'n kiss from us three!
