Happy Sunday morning everyone! It's a cooler morning than what we've had the past few days. We have enjoyed such beautiful and warm weather lately. Yesterday was very windy so our leaves were falling fast and furious. Still lots more to fall though.
This past week was good. The highlight was our little girl Spicy's birthday on Friday. It's hard to believe that she is now 13. She thoroughly enjoyed her special day and was treated like the princess that she is. Her day was even more special since she made the Global Montreal Morning Show 💝
We enjoyed a few walks by the lake and marvelled at the beautiful display of colours. Yesterday was very windy and we saw a number of kite surfers on Lake St-louis.
My friends and I postponed our lunch to November 7. One of them was in contact with someone who tested positive for COVID. Luckily, she didn't get it but we felt it was best to be prudent. On that note, Russell and I are getting our booster and flu vaccine tomorrow. It's been a while since we've been jabbed. So far, neither of us have had either the flu or COVID in the past three years. Fingers crossed that we keep our record clean LOL!
Russell had his "meet and greet" with his new doctor last Monday. He really liked him and they connected right away. He switched to the same private clinic that I go to.
I finally bought the Halloween candies. There was a good sale at Pharmaprix so I went for it. Yesterday I made 60 bags and saved just a few for ourselves 😜 So far, the weather is looking good for Halloween night. I will take photos of our display and post them in next week's blog.
Cooper and Spicy are doing good. They will both have an echocardiogram on Wednesday. This will most likely be their last one. If need be, we will get thoracic x-rays done in the future. We don't expect much change for Cooper since he is in the last stage of MVD. So far, his meds are working as they should. We are looking forward to getting Spicy's results as she is still in stage 2, as far as we know. I will share the results in my blog next week. We've been living with these diagnoses for quite some time now and continue to take it one day at a time knowing that things can change so quickly. For now, we are very grateful that both are doing well 💕
That's it for today. I will soon prep an eye blade roast that will braise in the oven for 3-4 hours. I will then shred the meat and top it with a potato and parsnip mash. Yummy dinner on this cool Fall day. The perfect day to snuggle up with the pooches, read a good book and watch some football. No hockey today although Montreal had a great win last night!
Have a wonderful week everyone and Happy Halloween! I will write again in November!
