He's Listening

A small amount of snow at the start of our day, melted by lunchtime.  But I'll take whatever we get and try to be happy with it.  Forecasted to come by the end of the weekend is a blast of cold air from Canada that will send our temperatures plunging.  Listening to the weathermen, because they seem to know the temperatures to come instead of a snowfall, I've gotten out my warmest scarf and gloves.  We'll see if I end up needing them.  

I continue to be very grateful for all the healing thoughts you've sent for Lucas!  He continues to do pretty well, but his face is still pretty swollen.  If there is any problem we're having with him, it's his habit of rubbing his face along the rugs.  I was specifically told by the dentist to not allow him to do anything like that because it could pull out the sutures.  To try and 'protect' his face, I've put a small e-collar on him.  He became really subdued and kept his head down when he realized it wasn't going to come off.  I told Lucas there was no shame in his having to wear the 'cone of shame.'  I think he believed me, because he didn't object to it nearly as much after I said that. Its been my experience that Golden Retrievers will believe just about anything you say to them...

I am finding that Scottish Terriers do too. Todd really loves being outside.  But I told him that his digging in the yard means he's not going to get to play outside by himself for the time being.

Todd responded by running off with my house-slipper, the dishtowel he pulled off the counter, and whatever he could grab out of the clothes basket.  At least he's listening...
