Hello all, I skimmed through this thread, can’t read all of it. Happy belated birthday Judy!
I have to share my son’s dog rescue story. A guy posted on a local pets forum that he found a puppy hiding at his scrap metal yard. The puppy was emaciated and her face was covered with porcupine quills. He got the dog but posted that he can’t keep her. My son came to the rescue! She stayed in the crate and was scared to go outside to go business, she would shake with fear. But he put pads in a bathroom and she’d use them. He gave her food and water every few hours which she gulped down. Veterinarian says she just needs food and love, she’s 5 months old and will be a tall dog.
Today she is playing with his other dogs and cats and going out when they do, and she gave my son a big kiss.
I can’t wait to meet her!
Oh Rusty!
That’s a feel good all over story of the day! I’ve been watching a few clips lately of dogs after they get rescued. I’m not the dog fan that many are, but I do like them and I do feel so sad when they suffer. Tell your son he has a fan in Canada who thinks he’s wonderful for saving that poor, suffering little pup. So happy for that little doggo.
And you’re not belated. It’s on ‘til midnight. Going to Natalie’s for a pot of chili, homemade Italian bread, and she made my favorite dessert - creme brule. Yum.
What a wonderful story! And a wonderful son you have, he’s obviously a chip off the old block. I’m so happy for the puppy
Rusty what a wonderful thing your son has done. How did they get the porcupine quills out of the puppy? Any idea yet when surgery on your neck will be scheduled?
I had my Medicare yearly physical today. I had told Cotton I HATE doing blood work. She wondered if fasting was the worse thing. The WORST thing for me is they can’t get blood out of me and they poke & poke. Even though I drank lots of water last night and had two 8 oz cups this morning. She had NO luck. I think I peed all the fluid out before hand. :-( She couldn’t get ANY out of my right arm and only about 3/4 of a vial out of the other arm that is now bruised. They needed 5 vials to do all the tests. I said I would come back another time because I was NOT going to have her poke some more. I take an 81mg asperin every night so you would think it would be thin enough. About three weeks ago I scraped my arm up against a hinge on a metal post and it bled like a stuck pig.
I got to thinking. When you get Medicare at 65-67 now they make you take what they call a MEMORY test. This is the second year I have had to do this. Today she gave me 3 words to remember and a blank circle and told me to draw a clock and have it read 10min past 11:00 I drew a “PERFECT” clock” (not phone call but clock lol!!!) When she later asked what the 3 names were that she had told me I was able to tell her ALL 3 back. “sunset” “clock” but NOW for the life of me I can’t remember the 3rd one.
Ok now. Back to what I was thinking. If Biden takes Medicare (and I am sure he does since they ALL do) because there is NO income limit to getting it. He would have to take one of these memory tests also. But because of HIPA they won’t tell us how he did on it.
I took the house pictures and some more paint swabs over to my daughters afterwards and she will go over them with her daughter who lives with her (and rules the roost) to decide what they want. They will never come to an agreement. So I wonder who will win out. I bet it is my grand-daughter because my daughter always gives in.
