Good morning!
I saw that Valspar paint has advertised it's color of the 2024 year: Renew Blue.
This is a color I love. It's calming isn't it?

There are some changes going on in our family. My uncle took my mother to the shore for a week. Turns out, there are actually wheel chairs that are used at the beach for infirmed seniors and my mother could even watch the ocean with the use of one of these!

My husband and I watched mom's dog Kerry while she was away. Kerry is often here and even has dog friends in the neighborhood. But last week while Mom was gone, Kerry got sick. Really sick. It was a tough week of visits to our vet and specialists. Sadly, Kerry was diagnosed with cancer on her third birthday.
My husband and I will be giving Kerry hospice care here. She is in not in pain now and is taking prednisone which has helped her. My vet tells me that sometimes prednisone can act like chemotherapy for a dog. It isn't a cure but it may give her more time. But whatever time she has left is best spent here with people and dog friends. My mother's certainly not in any shape to care for her and we haven't told her how very sick Kerry is yet. Mom seems relieved that we are caring for Kerry fulltime and that is enough while we are easing her in to the reality of the situation.
I needed to let you know this because if my blogging becomes erratic, you will understand why.

Last but not least, be careful out there. Covid is on the rise. Our own vet's practice was down 25% because folks there were out with covid. Wear the mask and be careful folks!

Have a safe and happy day!
I am so very sorry to hear that Kerry is not well. Your family certainly has had more than enough challenges lately. Kerry is blessed to have you to care for her. On a happier note, those sand wheelchairs are terrific! They should bring much joy and freedom to many folks. Who knew? Thanks for sharing that info.
ReplyDeleteFascinating beach chair! Sorry to hear about Kerry. We had a couple of close encounters with Covid on our cruise but managed to stay healthy.
ReplyDeleteIt is so awesome there are beach wheelchairs! I'm sure your mother really appreciates your caring for Kerry. Yes, covid is still alive and making the rounds again.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great chair for your mom to go down to the beach in! I'm so sorry to hear about Kerry, though. Poor girl. Give her lots of scritches from all of us!
