This past week was good but awfully quiet on all fronts. We didn't feel like doing much. We did not workout once, neither did our pooches. It was just one of those weeks where we felt a tad lazy. Nothing wrong with that. We had some nice walks with Cooper & Spicy then spent most of our afternoons on the deck. Our weather was nice for the most part but cooler than what we've had lately.
Our flower beds are doing well although some of our Purple Cone flowers look like they've had it. Our Rudbeckias are in full bloom and our Hydrangea is doing really well. I haven't bought any Fall planters yet but will get some for Labour Day Weekend.
Our pooches are doing great. Last Thursday, Spicy had her Wellness Exam and her rabies shot. Our vet was pleased with her overall health and thought her teeth were very clean. Thanks to Russell for brushing their teeth every single morning. Cooper's blood work came back normal except for a few values. We're on top of it with our trusted vet. Nothing too worrisome but nothing to ignore either. Cooper also started his heart meds on Friday. So far so good. When Spicy got started on those last year, her appetite was not as good for a few months. Coop is such a food hound that we will be very surprised if he looses his appetite as a result of the medication. Time will tell....
Russell is doing well. His dental hygiene appointment went as planned. My great husband came up with this wonderful idea...a getaway to Chateau Montebello in October, around Thanksgiving, for a few days. He did his research.....very dog friendly resort! This will be the first time that we go away with our pooches. It will be a fun getaway in such a lovely setting. We can't wait, neither can Coop & Spicy!
Before I end this blog, I have to tell you a little story about "loosing" Spicy in plain sight.....yesterday morning, after breakfast, she went to the front room, as she always does. She normally either goes up on the couch or lies down in her doggie bed. As I was making our breakfast, I went to the front room just to get a hug from Spicy and couldn't find her. I thought maybe she decided to go in the TV room, the guest room or our bedroom. No Spicy. I started to panic, knowing full well she was in the house, not outside, but I panicked anyway. I then called her name and she came running from behind the living room arm chair.....for some strange reason, she had decided to lie down behind that chair. She's never done that before so I didn't think to look there. She's a funny girl that Spicy!
Have a great week everyone. My thoughts are with all the parents who are getting their children ready for school. A different return to school year for sure. Stay well and safe!
