Happy Sunday everyone! It is a rather cool morning but the sun is shining. We don't care much for the darkness at 5 pm but we love the brightness in the early mornings.
This past week was good. It only took two days for the boys and us to get back on track following the time change, from a waking up perspective. Meal times were never a problem for our pooches as we kept them normal...although both were singing for their food one hour early. We told them that all good things are worth waiting for.
We got some yard work done but there is still quite a bit to do. We also need to get a number of things done around the house before Russell's surgery, which is now just a little over three weeks away.
Russell continues his pre-op muscle strengthening exercises. It is going well. He purchased a cryo compression therapy device prescribed by his surgeon. It will help reduce the swelling and pain. Things have evolved since his last TKR five years ago.
I had routine blood work done on Friday for my upcoming physical on the 18th. I also have a bone density test scheduled for that day. I might be able to get my knees x-rayed that day also. I am still bothered by the knee pain which intensifies if I stand on my feet for too long. Not a good scenario for someone who just can't sit still. It will all get sorted out.
Yesterday, we celebrated our little boy Sherlock's first birthday. He is such a wonderful doggie and brings us immense joy...well, both do 💕 He had a good day which included a tug game with his brother. Merlot let him win!
Merlot and I had our second class yesterday. It went very well. He is by far the smallest dog in the class, the biggest one being a two year old Bernese Mountain.
In the world of sports, our Montreal Canadians are going through a rough patch these days. Some fans are just about ready to give up on them. I am not although it is disappointing to see them lose. Let's see what the next 67 games bring.
That's my blog for this week. We will attempt to finish our yard work today...attempt being the operative word. Tomorrow we will remember all those who sacrificed so we could live in freedom. Lest we forget. Have a great week everyone!

| The Habs and the boys...what could be better... maybe a few wins in a row? |
