She said that older dogs can get pancreatitis if the amount of protein in their diet is high. So I will be back to adding some pumpkin to her meals. I swear they should have a"Mastercheff Canine" division. I would have it on as background music.
When we were over at my brother's for supper, a neighbour brought over some doggie popsicles for their dog. Yoghurt, peanut butter and banana mashed up and frozen in an ice cube tray. Well Zeke, the 100 lb lab gobbled one up so fast, I don't think it "touched down" until it reached his stomach.
I am meeting a friend from church this morning for a coffee. She is just going through chemo for breast cancer. She's only in her early forties. It's a hard row to hoe when you are by yourself.
Then my sweet neighbour and I are going to get some artificial flowers as she is going to make me two memorial "saddles" for my parents' and my DH's graves. We will be going to Chatham in a couple of weeks so I can perform a memorial and graveside ceremony for my mum's cousin.
I have to also get busy putting together 2 weddings now that my computer is back working again. Guess I better launch myself into this day!
Have a good one and keep comfortable.
Oh, flemeth- I loved our visit to Chicago. If you have time, I would recommend that you take the boat tour - fascinating history of how the city dealt with a problem.
