Granny's gone and done it again

[Cynthia12]

We planted them outside in FL.

Plenty of beautiful flowers growing so easily in Florida. Lived there for a while.

We have our bulbs that were either my mom's or my wife's moms that we brought up with us from Florida. Still in pots. Got to get them into beds come spring. Iris and Amaryllis. I think a few day lilies too.

Make sure there's nothing in his way to slow him down getting to the bathroom.

If not to late clear a path now. That stuff is the worst part of a colonoscopy.

I'm beginning to wonder if Granny was admitted to stay overnight???

She would not let them admit here

If that was the case she’d probably check herself out against medical advice to mind her menfolk. :/ could also just be a long wait.

I'll be surprised it she will ever allow any place to admit her that dose not have a smoking facility for smokers????

This too. She would be worrying about Robert and Tom too.

I wish there was someone local there that could relay a message from her.

tried cheese, hot dog. Had to make her swallow.

I give Sammy little bits of cheese from time to time as a treat, not just for Rx. If you need to make Fawn swallow, hold her head pointing up with her mouth closed, stroke up on her throat and blow gently on her nose if she won't snap at you, or gently stroke her nostrils. Should make her lick her lips and once her tongue comes forward then back, you will know the pill has gone down.

Robert got Fawn ANOTHER new collar and its too small. He wants a harness for her but we cant find one that will fit her.

PetSmart and other pet supply stores should let you bring her in for a fitting. Or measure around her neck and the pet store will provide you a collar that fits. If it doesn't they should exchange it no problem.

My Gracie too. Pills in cheese.

I give him two luttle squares with no Rx then one with, then another plain one. I have to mind my fingers, lol!

Richard just sent this message to me.

I've got home health care finishing up with me right now with my foot. They say everything looks good so far as healing goes. I have my first appointment with wound clinic tomorrow morning.

I was worried about infection but I guess those antibiotics work really well! Plus they gave me antibiotic spray today plus antibiotic bandaging. Plus my insurance completely covers the visits AND any supplies they have I can use for free. Pretty nice!

Wonderful news all around!

Why a harness. I don’t use them. To me they teach the dog to pull more.

I agree. Harnessing arctic breeds enables them to pull heavy sleds.

Interesting. I just watched a short clip from a guy I started watching who owned a female Doberman. You may have heard of Rubydoo. She passed. He now has a male named Bruce. His video today showed him walking his dog..intact..with a prong collar. He says, I know, controversial. But he's not food driven enough or praised driven while walking. His attention is out ~ there! Squirrels, birds, other dogs. For both their safety he uses this. You have to know this guy. He's trained his dogs until you would think they understand every single human word. It really is up to how the dog reacts. I have a harness for Cooper, he's also ~ out there! The harness actually works well with him. I didn't have to go to the prong. My Gracie and Bella walk well with a regular collar.

I much prefer a prong collar, far more humane (when properly fitted and used with understanding) than a "choke" collar. Why? Because after pulling in it once most dogs will not pull again. The handler has to know to keep the line slack but most don't. On my Shelties a prong does not break their beautiful long coat. And many dogs will slip out of a flat collar in an emergency.
