It's Sunday

I had a marathon grooming as we had a number of dogs departing. We had visitors. Nathan entertained. I groomed - not my dogs but everyone else's. I played catch up on mine tonight.
We head into Ottawa on Wednesday again. Dennis will hold down the fort and we will go extra early and come back the same night. This will be our new norm. It's hard when they do not live locally.
Dani gets her surgery November 2nd. Dennis is getting migraine after migraine and I think it must be related to the closed doors and lack of fresh air but maybe that's not true. My neck still hurts but I am getting used to sleeping sitting up and it is helping. Everyone that is coming to the door is dealing with upheaval - family issues to health issues. I wish I had a magic wand.
The dogs are wonderful. No matter what is going on, they make you smile. They are medicine in a hairy body.
Politics is driving me crazy. I hate the celebration of attacks, excuses for a murder, women's rights fading etc. Most times I shut off the tv. Singing on a trip to Ottawa is better than listening to the latest on Trump. One has to be proactive. I am a Canadian and an American so I want to tune out but if I do will I be responsible by not trying to create a change? Enough politics.
I have a long distant friend - we have been friends for a very long time - back when atari came out with a computer lol - well she had to put down her cat. I think about how I felt about Risa and I feel so genuinely sorry for her being in this position. Our animals should live longer. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we were able to just send vibes that would eliminate emotional pain?
The photo above is Spirit - Leti's daughter. She is an amazing dog. Those of you with multiple dogs get the reality that each dog brings something different. If you tap into their passion - well the memories pile up. One of our passions is swimming and till next year we will dream about warm weather. But we so try to make that white stuff fun for the dogs. Shovelling those paths though is a struggle. LOL
Happy Monday everyone tomorrow...

You are so right about dogs. Dogs truly are a wonderful medicine.
Your blog with the dawgs is a comfort and a joy to read.
I wish you safe journeys to Ottawa and back.
Wonderful gallery, all those cute faces melt my heart. Spirit has such a beautiful face, her coat is amazing , looks quite thick actually, maybe it’s the photo. Hoping your trip to Ottawa is a good one, the drive back and forth easy and the visit with dad filled with love and special moments.
Anne: It is thick. I thin it out. LOL Appreciate....
Su: Thank you - I will try to remember my camera. Dogs are amazing beings everyone - so true!
Spirit is all grown up since we saw her as a pup, such an adorable sweetie.
My dad (91) was also complaining about headaches just today, I believe its the changing of the weather, the cold and possible rain coming, I ache more, headaches sometimes too.
Your trip to Ottawa, do drive safely, and cherish the time with dad.
Politics, I'm so fed up with all that craziness as well.
Having our two is such fun, interesting to see the two personalities and their playing together. They were meant to be together. Snow will be interesting.
Spirit is so beautiful and Stone so handsome.
Darlah I agree with your political views completely. Gets me all riled up and I have to shut the tv. How can Trump be the leader of the most powerful country in the world. Boggles my mind.
I wish you a safe and easy trip to Ottawa and a good visit with your Dad. I will be praying for Dani that all is well and completely successful.
I wish you well with your trip to Ottawa, Darlah and Nathan, and create that quality time and memories with your Dad. We are thinking of your whole family as you struggle with the challenges. You are special to us, you gave us such joy in our two babies. We love them so very much. ❤️
Safe trip Darlah & Nathan. Darlah sing your heart out. It is good for the soul.
I too have US and Cdn citizenship so I find it difficult to not participate in the political goings on when I see the changes (negative) happening to the US. Some days I just detatch.
Best wish and positive thoughts that Dani's surgery does well.
I believe the changing weather systems may trigger migrane headaches in those prone to suffer from this awful affliction.
Thank you, Angela!! You are probably right about the migraines.
