I posted yesterday about Katie bringing her new puppy out to visit. Such a cute lil’ feller… Perry would LOVE to have a shepherd.
Excitement led to injury.
Dharma was so worried that I was going to look at Willy, she tried to jump in my lap. Now Dharma is 100 pounds (a little more right now) and the big girl was NOT going to make it up there even if there was room. She’s typically pretty docile…
With the top of her body on my lap, her already weak back legs slid underneath her and my chair and she almost did a back flip! I was hanging on to her and yelled for help. We got her righted but by nightfall she was limping. Like… barely able to get around. We started on Prednisone immediately and she was a bit better by last night.
When we get older, we can’t do what we used to.
Dogs don’t understand that concept… but I sure do.
Funeral today for Uncle Max. 🙁
Family viewing is at 9:00 AM with the funeral at 1:00. Food at the church for the family after the graveside service means I’ll be out most of the day tomorrow. That also means I have ONE… yes ONE… day left before my 2 month hiatus. Actually, I think it’s practice retirement.
Now you know: In the first 40 years of the US Interstate Highway System, it directly saved the lives of 187,000 people, prevented injuries to nearly 12 million people and returned $6 in economic productivity for each dollar that it costs.
