Two Blog Day

Long story but didn't get to bed till 3am and then up again at 4. Think I had a total of 3 hours sleep and a full day grooming but we got it done.

Here is the blog.

The backyard is filled with ice then it warmed up and it was wet and then ice again. All in one day.

We had a fun house with Ellie, Ollie, Ollie (yes 2 Ollies), Leo, Harlow and Chester.

We had a heck of a lot of playing going on.

Not sure what we are going to do for New Years eve. Nathan never stays up pass 930 these days but I am trying to push for a Lonestar moment with Blue magaritas. LOL Yes curbside pickup. I have to end this bleepin of a year on a celebatory theme. 2021 has to be better and it means 4 to 5 months till swim time. I like that! Nathan will be a whole new man if surgery goes well. He may drive me crazy for 2 months but worth it to get him whole.

I think I am going to do a bit of learning and then lay on the couch with the dogs. Tomorrow is a full day of grooming and then time off. Got to do my dogs but need rain to stay away!

What are you doing for New Year's eve?

I will be positive and say "Nathan will be a whole new man when surgery is done and successful". He is in our thoughts. What are we doing New Year's Eve? What we always do best....stay home, no different this year than other years, and spend quality time with each other and Cooper & Spicy. We need nothing else. So, here's to a better 2021 and a renewed Nathan. Love to all!

Nathan's recovery will be faster than you can imagine, 1 day at a time, but they add up, and he'll be better even in just a few days, was for my mom.
New Years, gourmet cheese and crackers from my niece, maybe some king crab, staying home as usual, sleep before midnight. And lots of hugs and kisses all around.
Regarding 2020, shouldn't have bought a calendar, onward to 2021.

Wishing everyone a Happy & Healthy 2021! ๐ŸŽŠ ๐Ÿพ May we all have a better year. Iโ€™m optimistic Nathan will do very well and the timing seems good. Hopefully, in a few weeks our circumstances will have improved!
Weโ€™re doing same as always, too. Staying in and having fresh NS lobster. ๐Ÿฆž Traditionally, we would go out for Dim Sum New Yearโ€™s Day. This year is curb side pickup. Dougโ€™s happy as can stay home and watch his games. I may watch more of the Crown! Laci will be so happy to have us home to cuddle. ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’•

Great pics! Looks like there was a whole lotta happy butt-sniffing - good times! ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿถ
Itโ€™s finally โ€œcoolโ€ to stay home on NYE! So PJs, homemade pizza, games, snacks, and champagne with Anderson Cooper for us! Bonus - nobody has to drive so ๐Ÿท๐Ÿธ๐Ÿน๐Ÿพ๐Ÿฅ‚
Side note: where is there a Lonestar nearby? Used to love the one at Y&16!

Always good wishes to Nathan and all the Potechins. You are a very special family for sure. I am sure, after recovery, Nathan will feel so much better so it's look to the longer term. We are doing what we always do on New Year's Eve these days. We stay home, watch a celebration on TV (virtually this year), and cuddle our dogs. That is good with us. Our partying days on New Year's are over. ๐Ÿ˜‚
