Run Rabbit Run!

Happy Sunday everyone! Another glorious Fall day, more of the same all week. Although I'm nostalgic that Summer has ended, Fall has always been my favorite season. I love everything about it....the colours, the smells, the produce that we get at this time of year, the sweaters and leggings and of course Thanksgiving 😍

Our week was good, so was our weather. On Monday, Russell took our SUV in for the estimate. As expected, the whole front bumper will need to be replaced but luckily none of the sensors were damaged. The repair will be done in a week or so and will take a few days. We were reflecting that we've had our Palisade for 17 months now and it only has 5,800 km. It still looks like a brand new car. 

On Wednesday, I had lunch with Lise & Diane at a Thai restaurant in downtown Montreal. It was truly nice to get together again after two years. We had lots of catching up to do. The food was delicious and we each got Take-Out for dinner. Russell was happy 😋

Friday morning, we took Cooper & Spicy out first thing and sure enough there was a rabbit in the backyard. Both ran after it so fast it made our heads spin. While doing so, Spicy pulled a neck muscle. She stopped dead in her tracks, was hunched over with her head down, trembling. It all happened so quickly. Poor little thing, we could tell she was in pain.  After watching her for a while, we decided to call our vet and got an appointment for the afternoon. It didn't take long for our vet to confirm that the Spice girl had indeed pulled a neck muscle. All is good now, the pain killers are helping and she has to avoid jumping for a while (easier said than done).  Otherwise, she is back to her old self. As a result of this incident, I decided not to go to class with Cooper. We will resume next week.

Yesterday, I got quite a bit of yard work done, slowly getting the garden beds ready for the next season. There is more to do but it's a good start. We brought Spicy's bed and blankets on the deck so that she could rest comfortably with her "things". It's the perfect place to keep her from jumping anywhere. Cooper is keeping a close eye on her 😊

Those are my little news. Our pooches are napping with their daddy now. They both had a bath this morning, long overdue. Russell was ever so careful with Spicy. They smell delicious! I finished Downton Abbey last week, so sad. In a few weeks, I will watch the movie. In the meantime, I started Line of Duty, very good. Later this afternoon, Russell and I will have a treat that we've been craving, SmartFood White Cheddar Popcorn, yummy! We haven't had it for the longest time and for some reason, we're craving it. You know what they say...when you crave something, go for it!

Have a great week everyone!
