Recovery

Mom swears the dogs are aiding in her recovery from heart surgery.

She's got a bed full of them most of the time.

These are her two, Daisy and Rosie....they are Violet's full sisters.

When I took these photos the other day, Franklin was outside chasing squirrels.

Harvey was at the end of the bed trying to take a nap.

Sally has been sequestered in my bedroom.

Her and Marcus have issues.

That's Marcus, Harvey's brother.

Those two are the gruesome twosome together.

I call Marcus, Moose. He is a big old Moose.

Rosie is a prima donna. I tell Mom she's not a dachshund, she's a poodle.

You can't help but smile at the lot of these.

See Mom's scar? That was several days ago.

It is so much better now. 

She'd kill me if she knew I'd put this out there for the world to see.

Oh...maybe not...she's at the point...where she really doesn't care.

A pretty shot of Violet and Marcus.

Yes, a bed full of them. Marcus doesn't like Franklin very much.

He barks at him constantly. Franklin ignores him.

Franklin pounces on Harvey a lot and that makes Marcus mad.

He loves his little brother Harvey and never ever gets mad or barks at him.

He is his great protector.

That's good. With Marcus around Harvey can rest easy knowing his big brother is 

on the job of HIS homeland security.

So, new plumbing is being put in on Wednesday.

Fences will be torn down.

That means I will be walking dogs one at a time on a leash out the front door.

With seven dogs, this should pretty much take up my whole day.

Thank goodness I'm off work that day.

Life is never easy, is it?

I thought...if I could just get through Mom's surgery....everything would settle down.

But then...here we go with more craziness.

Mom and I are talking about hitting the movie theaters soon, though...and seeing all the movies 

we've missed. 

I have not gotten to see American Horror Story in weeks.

I think I've missed three episodes.

I keep thinking I'll watch On Demand and catch up one night after work but I keep falling asleep

when I sit down to do it.

Maybe tonight...maybe tonight. 

Pier 1 is still having it's store wide clearance sale.

I got some good things for next year's Thanksgiving table at a fraction of what they cost originally.

Mom and I are itching to get out and go shopping together.

One day...soon...

We can't wait.
