Gary has a baby? As in a furry one, a crying one, or a hot warming bed one?

Gary has a full menagerie: lot of barn cats, Cookie the dog and an old mare

It is, thanks 

Doing ok, thanks. Was spending way to much time here do I cut it out to improve my productivity... Did I? Nope, just get distracted with something else now 

Nice pic btw, when I left you were a fairy 😁

Thank 😊 I know the feeling, it can be a very addictive place with always having someone online every hours of the day plus the stories but I love this crazy bunch of misfits too much

With classes back on since early September I've mostly popped in in the evenings and I've just realized that I haven't had time to read anything not school/education related in at least 2 weeks!

God Dughlas I hope your mother is ok, I the storm turn back into a Cat 1

Thank you. I spoke with her a bit ago. The storm made landfall not far to the south of her in Georgetown, SC. Fortunately it seems she was in a less powerful part of the storm. She had no damage, didn't lose power and pond did not overflow its banks while to both the north and south there was flooding and mayhem. She said the sun was actually shining while we were on the phone. So while not the best of birthdays it wasn't a terrible one either.

What a relief to hear! I hope she'll still be able to make it to you soon

So Gary how is your baby doing?

The scratch is healing very slowly, so we will keep treating it. She still has blood vessels going to the area. We might try a special serum that provides cells for the healing process if my vet can still get it or have it made. My mare's ages inhibits her production of them. She does not have UVitis which is good. There is no infection, and her heart and lung sounds are good.

I am so exhausted.   Watching a preseason hockey game.

Its National make a Dog's Day!

I hope I make my sister’s dog's day. I was wandering through my grocers and they had a new section filled with pet treats. I thought it would be good to grab some for my sister's two dogs. Just a small scoop into a bag. When I checked the receipt at home  $14 for a small scoop of yogurt drops. $14 - it would have been cheaper to buy human ones

Drew specializes in Telemedicine aka dropping nukes to relieve the pain

How long before he out-grows the nuking phase?

Yeah, but can you picture Drew watching a hockey game with Gary?  Drew would probably be commenting on the goals by explaining to Gary the calculus equations needed to describe how the puck got past the goalie and into the top right corner.

Hi Dugh!  Thanks for the update on Mum!  I was relieved that she missed the major stuff and had no damage from the storm.  How are you doing this morning?

🤔 Who knows?  Long term bad habits are extremely difficult to break.  Only his mom will probably have the patience to achieve that. 😉

Hi Page!  Do you and your boys have any fun plans for the weekend? How are Max's ballet lessons going?

I thought we might go for a drive and pick some apples from a local farm. Maybe we'll stop for burgers or a pizza on the way home.

The lessons are going great! It's been almost a year since he started, and the teachers are very impressed with his progress. He's gotten a few compliments from the other dance families and his classmates, which he accepts with grace. He's very passionate about dancing. Some kids at school gave him a hard time when they found out, but one of the older students has a brother who is in Max's ballet group, and it was quickly shut down.

As a kid, my parents took us to pick apples also.  I loved the pies and applesauce Mom made from them.  I am pleased that Max not only is doing good in ballet, but that he is getting the positive reinforcement from others.  The kids giving Max a hard time wasn't good, but being defended by a classmate's older brother was awesome.  Enjoy your weekend!
