Two Updates Today

It is wet and yucky out there but Saffron was sitting out chilling. I did get the dogs to go out but boy did they get a mess.

Here is a gallery.

We also had Beau visit. Check Leti's blog to see how that went.

Saffron is starting to get her hair back and she is getting round - not fat - just wider. Murphy is indeed lighter - so is Tenshi. :-) Maybe Saffron needs to get exercise like me. LOL

Sebastian and Charlie had a blast today as you will see in the photos.

Dani's surgery went well. The surgeon is positive - yeah - one less thing. She will be out of school for 6 to 8 weeks. It's a long haul but no outside bad now. Her j-pouch is inside. 

We are going to go to an early evening movie tomorrow - 430. We need a distraction. Nathan picked up his suit from alterations. Life....

I groomed my ahem off due to this weather. I now officially give up for the day. Last night Dennis was still handing me dogs to clean up. TV - what's that?

Well Saffi has a reason for being rounder. Murphy and Tenshi haven’t had puppies!

Very happy to hear Dani’s surgery went well!

So glad Dani’s surgery was a success.

So relieved about Dani’s surgery. Hoping all continues to go well. Enjoy the movie tomorrow. We haven’t been to a movie theatre since 1984...saw The Cotton Club. Just thought I would throw that in for fun. We don’t like movie theatres obviously LOL!

Glad Dani surgery went well.
Is it possible Saffron is pregnant?!? After all, she did have a history with surprise babies...
I think Tenshi is perhaps too skinny. I really should fatten her up a bit.

I am so thankful to hear that Dani's surgery went well. It is a life changer. I hope all continues to go smoothly.

Now my Rusty is very big. When I see the Talemaker family including Rusty's sister Ella I know how big Rusty is. We love our food but I try to limit his extras. He is so loving I can't say No.

Enjoy the movie. I heard Wife is good but I don't know anything about it. I loved book club. Saw it on Rogers.

No - her heat was before the rest - in July. If she was pregnant she should have had pups in September. Oh the Saffron tries. She so loves Stone.

We also didn't go to movies for years but every time we have movie passes we indulge.

Dani says she is in a great deal of pain but the surgeon feels it was successful.

November 1, 2018 | Registered CommenterDarlah

Yeah - so happy for Dani! Hope she recovers quickly!
I enjoyed A Star is Born. - saw it last week. The acting is incredible.

November 1, 2018 | Unregistered CommenterLiz and Abby

Such good news about Dani ! Hopefully this will be life changing for her and things will be more normal from now on.

November 2, 2018 | Unregistered CommenterMaureen

So glad Dani's surgery went well. Hope her pain subsides soon.
I think Saffron is getting round because Clarity isn't there to eat all the treats LOL - she is nice and slim again now that the number of treats is back under control. ;)

You are funny. I literally give 1 treat a day for grooming. I think it wasn't treats but stealing food from others.

Dani is still in pain extremely. We are hoping for a turn around. Thought - wow hugely successful. Not sure now.

Just got told maybe dad will not last till Kendra or daughter comes in. I am going to go buy her a black dress tonight in case she is coming for a funeral. Here is hoping not. She needs to see him.

Glad we had that mind break last night.

LOL - yes, I'm sure she was stealing food from others. She was a relaxed eater when it was just her. When Farley came and she saw a second bowl of food, she began racing through hers just to get at his (even though I wouldn't allow it). This made him eat faster. Now they both have the bowls that control the speed that they eat.
She can't have more than the 1/4 cup 2x a day to maintain her slim figure, yet he needs almost double the amount or his ribs stick out! ... so unfair 😉
