Thirsty Thursday!

It might look like the photos I shared for WWKK, but it's a new photo, promise. It's just that I have rather strong tea habits that keep me thinking of two of my grandparents who are long gone.

Just lovely.

I noticed one on his lower lip had a red spot, , so I use the ball to get him to look up/down/ all around hehehe, Ziva thinks I am going to throw it so shes ready to jump,,,,,,,

WHAT DO YOU HAVE GOING ON HERE????

Tony has a slight undershot bottom jaw, I only put his collar on him if he is out and I am not out too,
when he gets a drink, his neck gets wet sometimes, I towel dry it cuz it will smell sour if I dont,
So, in the house we went,
I got 2 wash cloths and the Dawn dish soap, I soaped up his chin and lip and nose, scrubbed it and rinsed it, I dried it REALLY good and put hydrocortisone on it---
I think between getting a drink, and carrying that ball all around his mug was staying to wet,

No ball until this clears up

Awww poor Tony. That's his favorite!

Aphids.......... it happens

That's what lady bugs are for!

as soon as my health hiatus is over, I am making fresh nettle kombucha, I have made it for years,
I just stopped for a while. My NP Dr. has her B.S. from Wilson College in Chambersburg, PA, where she double majored in biology and exercise science and more
but, she said she examined the yeast from homebrew and store bought and found it to cause inflammation in the joints, the yeast, so we decided to put off kombucha for a while and see if it helps.

Chambersburg is just across the river from me. Small world!

Let me know what you find out, please. I drink a lot of this stuff. It's my "water is too boring right now, it's too hot for coffee, and I don't want to drink that much pop" beverage.

I try to drink a lot of water, but sometimes, like at least once a day, I want something with flavor, a little sweet, and some fizz.

I recommend Pellegrino essenza

Bubbly water with a touch of fruit. All natural with 0 calories. They have quite a few flavors now.

Happy Thirsty Thursday Evening, ​

a double bagger, I had the WORST dentist appointment EVER in my life time,
@Ladies-Eight
View attachment 2761444

I'm so sorry to hear that.

 

[BY Bob]

you too, the 2 Dental shots with Xylocaine with Epinephrine injection really gave me the shakes, heart flips, dizzy, I had to do a lot of deep breathing, light but pressing a few times on my right chest-- I have never had that kind of shot before, I dont think we WILL! be EVER having it again. there was no warning or mention of epinephrine before the shots,

My wife has a similar reaction to Epinephrine.

 

[Grandmas Coop]

My wife has a similar reaction to Epinephrine.

thank you for saying so, I was told by the dentist
" I have never heard of anything like this ever happening"
