Blind Dog

Casey is permanently blind...we took her to the doggy eye dr. this morning and she has SARD....Sudden acute retinal degeneration. Nothing we did or didn't do. We took her in to see Dr. Jill last Sat., and she ran every test in the book. Nothing. Everything was normal. We needed to find out if there was anything we could do for her. Eye Dr. said she will adjust and also commented that she is doing VERY well. Poor dog. She runs into everything. I feel so badly for her. But...she is learning. When others are here..she has the right of way. Haircut, nails and outlet shopping with the girls. Emily and Amanda arrived safely on Thursday and I took a half day to get my hard cast off. Thank God for that. I have a soft one on about half of my foot now and all the stitches and pin are out (ouch....leave it at that!) and it still hurts. Hoping to wear heels for Christmas. Bought dress for Christmas party for Otto's office today...wanted to get cute shoes....NOT. Started my Christmas shopping, walked way too much at outlet stores but enjoyed myself with the girls. Going to see Harry Potter tonight......Put a turkey meatloaf in the oven..going to both services and community service tomorrow as bells are ringing. Only working Monday and Tuesday because I have a Dr. appt. Wed morning. Busy, busy busy!!! Lovin' the beginning of the season but wish it would slow down. Have a handicap sticker for my foot and the parking spots are all taken. Casey and I need this! We both need canes....it is what it is..

Delta Dog Days 3

 We have not been able to leave her alone for more than a few minutes.  UGH newborn.  She is a sweetheart and not bothered or barking at other dogs. After I worked at the Thrift shop I took her up to the pool deck and locked the gate.  She is so small  she got through the rungs of the deck.  ðŸ˜³  It is what it is.  She is so sweet but so is needy and so challenging.

Delta Dog Day 4

 Beyond belief, we both got to sleep upstairs in our bed all night!  She could not scale the new gate and settled in her crate in the kitchen around 2:00 AM.  Otto gave me the night but after she settled, he came upstairs and she did not bark or whine all night!!!   I came down after a shower, took her outside on her lead and then fed her.  Back upstairs to do my hair etc.  I heard "something" and came downstairs to find that she had opened the pantry (that has a magnet closure on it for dog/children safety) and had a bag of marshmallows on the floor, not opened thank goodness.   I blocked it with a chair but removed anything that she could get to if she opened it again (within her reach).  NOTE:  new plan for pantry.   Later in the day we were sitting outside with her and she picked some cherry tomatoes and ate them (yes I checked on Google that they are NOT poisonous for dogs).  After dinner with friends, she snatched a corncob an...

School's out, teacher let the fools out!

No more pencils, no more books, no more STUDENT'S dirty looks! What a group I had this year, eiy yie yie! I can honestly say if I never see some of that bunch again, it will be too soon. Fun party last night...too tired to sleep! Nice feeling to sleep in. ADK party this afternoon, piano lesson (may have to re-schedule), picking up new car in Ann Arbor and going to Amanda's 2 baseball games. Nice video chat with Andrew & Matt last night. They get so silly! Brian landed safely in L.A. at 2:09 our time. His plane from Philly was delayed over 3 hours. All day to go 5 hours sucks, but he is safe! Congratulations Matthew Sandoval on your middle school graduation. Have fun with your family. I cleaned out 2 filing cabinets of old 4th grade files and old materials we don't use any more. I think I filled 10 boxes to re-cycle. I didn't get my bulletin boards done for fall (who knows where I will be anyway!) or my books sorted (paperbacks). Administrative whispe...
