Happy Sunday everyone! Almost half way through the month of January, how can that be! The days are truly getting longer. We notice it especially when we take Merlot & Sherlock out after their dinner...no need for lights. Love, love, love it!
This past week was good although filled with emotions thinking about those terrible fires in California. Our hearts are with everyone dealing with this disaster. We have been watching it all unfold and it's beyond tragic. Once again, we are thankful for the simple, everyday blessings that come our way.
Russell is doing well. The swelling on his upper thigh is almost gone. Everyday brings new progress. He has another physiotherapy appointment tomorrow. It will be fun to see what the knee flexion number is...trying to beat 113 degrees from two weeks ago! Russell also had blood work done last week in preparation for his physical this coming Tuesday. All is good on that front.
Our boys are doing well. We were reflecting the other day that they have been part of our lives for just a little over six months now. They have brought us such joy and peace. Sherlock is now 14 months and Merlot is 20 months. They still have that puppy energy and at the same time we are noticing "some" maturity happening. As I'm writing this blog, they are chasing each other up and down the hallway...yep, crazy puppies! We love them to the moon and back 💕
I've been seeing a massage therapist for some much needed fascia release in my hip flexors. In between sessions, I'm doing some daily yoga to help with the stretching. It's never been "my thing", way too slow for me, but I decided to give it a try and it's helping. I'm now addicted to "Yoga with Adriene" videos on YouTube. I say whatever works.
We got some snow last week. Not a whole lot but the boys enjoyed it immensely. The snow was very fluffy as such they created their own paths, mostly from chasing squirrels... and guess what? Both caught the tail of a squirrel in their mouths as it was going down the crabapple tree. I saw it with my own two eyes! The squirrel was trapped between the baby gate and the Merlot & Sherlock duo. It eventually wiggled free and ran away from them. It all happened so fast, I couldn't get my phone out quickly enough. They are so obsessed with squirrels it's crazy!
Those are my random thoughts for today. It will be a quiet Sunday. Lots of football to watch. No hockey until Tuesday. How about those HABS!
Have a wonderful week and enjoy our random weekly photos!
