I never did see the vet. We couldnt come in and I told them I didnt want the last thing he seen to be a stranger so they did it in the back of my van while I talked to him right up til the end. He never took his eyes off me. Even in death. He weighed 6lbs. I ugly cried out there for a long time before I could drive.

Did you feel his soul leave his body? I have with a couple of my dogs.

Today bubba asked if he could have this box. He’s thanked me at least ten times.

Camping, this made my week! Bubba must be part cat.
Have to say, DD's struggles kind of blunt my feelings over never having had a girl. Life shouldn't be so hard, especially when blessed with a good one. As always, I blame those dang hormones. Hormoans is more like it.

Well, I went to wal mart alone. Gas was $1.59 The shelves looked better stocked then before but still lots of missing stuff. It looked like a ghost town. I didnt pass 5 cars. They have put an X on the floors by check out to keep people 6 ft. apart. I grabbed my 2 creamers along w/ $200.00 worth of other stuff. . I told the very nice young man I drink that much in a week and have to keep coming back for more. He said I didnt realize there was a limit on creamer. I said then go grab me 2 more and he did ! LOL He said well, let me bag these 2 up then out of sight out of mind right ? Right ! I brought it all in myself and put it away. Then we had a sandwich for dinner. LOL Im tired. I am happy w/ the food we have in the house now and should be set for a while.

You did really good! Hope you didn't touch your face!

I will tell you all, That was a lot of hard work but it seems to be finally paying off. Its just too bad the iv antibiotics didnt get rid of the bone infection. OR that he was too stubborn to get his veins open and waited too long til I had to do all that.

His foot looks so much better. Amazing!

CORONA Common Sense
Since they are calling on Respiratory therapist to help fight the Corona virus, and I am a retired one, too old to work in a hospital setting. I'm gonna share some common sense wisdom with those that have the virus and trying to stay home. If my advice is followed as given you will improve your chances of not ending up in the hospital on a ventilator. This applies to the otherwise generally healthy population, so use discretion. 1. Only high temperatures kill a virus, so let your fever run high. Tylenol, Advil. Motrin, Ibuprofen etc. will bring your fever down allowing the virus to live longer. They are saying that ibuprophen, advil etc will actually exacerbate the virus. Use common sense and don't let fever go over 103 or 104 if you got the guts. If it gets higher than that take your tylenol, not ibuprophen or advil to keep it regulated. It helps to keep house warm and cover up with blankets so body does not have to work so hard to generate the heat. It usually takes about 3 days of this to break the fever. 2. The body is going to dehydrate with the elevated temperature so you must rehydrate yourself regulaly, whether you like it or not. Gatorade with real sugar, or pedialyte with real sugar for kids, works well. Why the sugar? Sugar will give your body back the energy it is using up to create the fever. The electrolytes and fluid you are losing will also be replenished by the Gatorade. If you don't do this and end up in the hospital they will start an IV and give you D5W (sugar water) and Normal Saline to replenish electrolytes. Gatorade is much cheaper, pain free, and comes in an assortment of flavors 3. You must keep your lungs moist. Best done by taking long steamy showers on a regular basis, if your wheezing or congested use a real minty toothpaste and brush your teeth while taking the steamy shower and deep breath through your mouth. This will provide some bronchial dialation and help loosen the phlegm. Force your self to cough into a wet wash cloth pressed firmly over your mouth and nose, which will cause greater pressure in your lungs forcing them to expand more and break loose more of the congestion. 4. Eat healthy and regularly. Gotta keep your strength up. 5. Once the fever breaks, start moving around to get the body back in shape and blood circulating. 6. Deep breath on a regular basis, even when it hurts. If you don't it becomes easy to develope pneumonia. Pursed lip breathing really helps. That's breathing in deep and slow then exhaling through tight lips as if your blowing out a candle, blow until you have completely emptied your lungs and you will be able to breath in an even deeper breath. This helps keep lungs expanded as well as increase your oxygen level. 7. Remember that every medication you take is merely relieving the symptoms, not making you well. 8. If your still dying go to ER.
I've been doing these things for myself and my family for over 40 years and kept them out of the hospital, all are healthy and still living today.
Thank you all for sharing. We gotta help one another.

This is one of the best things I've heard. Even better though, is don't catch it.

Wheee. Going to plant corn near the chicken coop. Got the space prepped and added some chicken compost that was ready. Yay. Gonna create some more beds for zucchini, pumpkin and sunflowers.

I am hoping she just got busy or is having internet issues Like I was. BYC was literally not there 404 errors like mad or the pages were loading in a way that made it impossible to read.

Thanks for asking after me. We are all good here, just busy reorganizing the garage so the guys can work on the old car in there... it was buried under all sorts of stuff!

I think I would have gotten a phone call if something was seriously wrong w/Wishing.

Yes, of course. For a hermit like me it's hard to keep track of how many days I've missed here. I think about you all for sure, and am amazed that so many days can pass that I haven't checked in.

I never did see the vet. We couldnt come in and I told them I didnt want the last thing he seen to be a stranger so they did it in the back of my van while I talked to him right up til the end. He never took his eyes off me. Even in death. He weighed 6lbs. I ugly cried out there for a long time before I could drive.

Poor old Shadow. Poor you! I think you can be content that he had a long and very good life.

Rain on and off today. We need every drop. Getting pretty tired of worrying about getting sick, but for us, staying home is no hardship at all. We are all homebodies anyway. I'm glad our county shut down early, done because we are fairly close to the original hot spot in the Bay Area. Hate to see businesses suffer, but we have relatively few covid cases here, and I hope it stays that way. Stay safe, everyone!

Bout time you dragged you booty over here ! Im glad your all doing well w/ this forced home stuff. I sure dont mind but Im still running, just not as much.
