Blame it on the Cold

Not many photos today as it was freezing rain off and on. We managed to get outside when they can. All the dogs seem to mind the pelting rain. It bothered us too so I get it. Dogs are still having fun and I gather tomorrow the weather may be worse so bear with us. We will try to get the photos of your loved ones so you can see their fun and they are having fun! Dennis couldn't do his usual run with the dogs fun but did it inside. There were no clear defined winners in this run and no one played shortcuts but it's not as easily done inside as out due to limited space. Hope to get back to doing it outside.
Thank you to Dorothy for stopping by and thank you for the gift. All that you did to help us - well genuine thank you.
We had a dog dropped off and they live downtown so no car so they uber everywhere. He had to take one uber up and one uber back. Wish we had known. His family and new baby is already out in BC. He was to depart tomorrow and they cancelled his flight. So, he picked uyp his dog and had a hard time getting an uber back. Nathan was going to drive him but finally he connected with someone that would pick him up. The issue we think is he had a dog. Not many of the uber or taxis take dogs. Really frustrating. What is worse is they said no flight till Tuesday so he will only have his dog on Christmas - no new baby - no wife no family. I feel terrible for him. Glad we have Facetime. I know not the same but....
So as you head into the holidays, realize that so many have struggles they are dealing with and with the added bonus of the storm - well makes it difficult. May everyone have safe travels.
Nathan got a roast on sale and tomorrow I will be cooking one. The dogs will get yum leftovers. He said the stores were not bad but he figures tomorrow everyone should stay home. Dress warm. May everyone's electricity stay on and may no one have to deal with the lack of and everything that means.
Safe holidays, everyone.

Thank you for your gift too, but remember, I have a tiny houseš¤£. Just gorgeous!š
I could have driven if I knew, but still doesn't make up for the missing family Christmas time. Yes, many are struggling this year in many different ways.
Hurrah for the roast beef sale. Tom checked our generator earlierš and the gas to power it.š¤£
I should have gifted you wine and flowers for that vase. You may have a small house but may it be filled with joy this season. I tried to make some useful things for you. I also didn't put your name on any so if you can't use you can regift. I should have added some treats for Pixie and Leo. Wasn't thinking. Did try to find a basket that wasn't all chocolate as I think you are not a fan of candy. I still need a nice photo of Pixie and Leo so I can put their photo on slate.
Yesterday Inula died from Kidney disease and Michelle thinks cancer. She was only 8 - so young for a tibetan terrier. I have to tell her breeder but I am trying to figure out if best before or after holidays.
Michelle is our vet.
So sad to hear about Inula's passing, that's young. A necropsy would be helpful, kidney disease might only be at end stage and not primary illness. That's a difficult decision about informing breeder.
Pixie and Leo have lots of treats already, taleggio cheese todayš¤£
And don't worry about the all your 'short comings', you've overwhelmed me already.
As l said you are busy with pups, but things are settling down and I'll send it off next week.
As the breeder is in Europe, it was a cold message which does not settle with me well but she needs to know. Necropsy in works. If we could control disease, every human would live to a ripe old age. I used to believe that testing the hey out of the dogs would give you that but in reality, we can't control disease but I wish we could. You can have 5 siblings and then an Inula. They are all alive and well - the siblings. One of our dog owners has Parkinson and Dennis managed to find a study at Stanford that is promising. So much hope for her. We are making headway - as you know but we have a long way to go. Inula had a happy life but not a long enough life. I am happy for the memories she created. Sad for the ones that could have been. Never easy as it seems the assholes (pardon my language) far outlive the good ones in any species, it feels like.
