Don't you just wish you could???

Hello my friends!

I'm very tired but I have to say, "Hi!"

They have, once again, removed employees who work in our next door retirement residence from presenting programs to us. Many people will be sad about losing Bingo and Movies and fall scenery rides on the bus.

We can still eat next door in the Bistro but I think that they may close that down once again soon.

There have been outbreaks in the residences at WLU with many people in isolation.

I'm so sick of this, as is everyone else. At least I am not sick WITH this! (Silver lining)

I have had a very sad diagnosis from the vet about Tootie. Apparently she is suffering from Congestive Heart Failure. I am giving her pills which will improve the blood flow around her heart and lungs, but there is no cure for this. The vet has given me a month's supply and wants to see me back then. It's not painful, but it interrupts her breathing, especially during the night when she wakes up coughing.

Prayers for this little pooch who has been my constant companion since she dropped into my life almost 3 years ago. She has really gone through a lot and with a staunch determination to keep going. She is showing signs of slowing down, though.

Take care, everyone

@avoncallingu so sorry to hear about Tootie she will be in my thoughts and prayers . Very happy she is not in any pain

Good morning my SC friends. Hoping you all had a great weekend

[danger_dan]

Morning all.

@avoncallingu I am just as heartbroken over hearing about Tooties diagnosis as you. This is so tough to experience.
If the wee thing can be made comfortable ( no pain ) that is about the best you can do for her, along with all the snuggles of course.
I hope the new restrictions in your building regarding the covid spread is short lived. I know we are all fed up, but as you said at least YOU have not come down with it.

Shepherd's Pie construction is on the to-do list today, not much else.

Oops, just realized it is a Monday! Sorry everyone who is heading out the door to their job. Stay safe.

Happy Monday!

@avoncallingu , that's such sad news about gentle, wee Tootie, but comforting to know she's not in pain. Just keep her warm and comfy....you rescued her from a lousy environment and gave her a sanctuary filled with love and care.

@GoJays , you need that t-shirt!

@walkonby , one of our favourite dinners! I'd be at your door with a bowl. An empty one.

Nothing on the agenda, still self-isolating except for the kids.

ALL Christmas shopping done (again? As my Hubby refers to it), hahaha...now I can turn my attention to doing some preserves.

Enjoy your day, everyone!

@avoncallingu - oh, so very sorry about your furry one... Big scritches between the ears from me!

Interesting that the two of us share an illness - I, too, have congestive heart failure...

Hoping Monday is a good one for everyone. We had no internet from yesterday mid-afternoon until this morning. So glad to have it back!

Yesterday, our side of the city had a cool guest. Saskatoon has a river dividing it, and this animal must have made his way from the river valley - the first spotting of it was on one of the bridges heading to our side of the city.

Not my pic, but this was taken about six blocks north of where we live...
He kept travelling, actually fairly long distances through a few different residential neighborhoods south and east of us. He was finally tranquilized by the appropriate people, they were going to deliver him back into the countryside...

Not my pic, but I was glad he wasn't nearer to us. Moose are rare to be in the city, usually there is the odd deer or even a cougar....

Hope you all have a good Monday. It's nice to be able to say things are looking up for me, but I still have far to go!
