Another week has passed since I last posted. Why and how is time, especially the summer passing so quickly? When you're a kid every day seems like an eternity. This was true through most of my younger years. But all that seems to be changing now. There never seems to be enough hours in each day. Months are passing so quickly, and events of a couple of years ago seem like they happened yesterday. And lets not get started about how on some days I can lose my keys, glasses and my train of thought. Am I the only one this is happening too?
Enough of that. The past week was a busy and pretty good one. Each day taken up by work, and the evenings with appointments and the dogs.

Gus was seen a second time by the holistic vet for acupuncture. The wound is getting smaller and is surrounded by new, healthy and pink tissue. The acupuncture treatments already seem to be making a difference. He's up and around a bit more and just seems to feel and be happier overall.
This morning I took Beau's to see the ophthalmologist.
Beau waited patiently for an hour past our appointment time to be seen.
The ophthalmologist said that the entropia has damaged Beau's eyes over his lifetime. Surgery to correct it could be done. However given his age, (about 13ish) the ophthalmologist is recommending a less invasive procedure that can probably best be described as an "eye-lift"--Something our cat, the lovely Ms. Yellow (below) certainly doesn't need --But if the rescue agrees and approves, I think will make a difference for Beau.
Many of us can emphasise with your feelings. Time flies when you're having fun? I can so vividly remember what I was doing at the same time of the previous year.
ReplyDeleteSuch good news. So glad Cricket is doing well. And sweet ole Gus. Phenomenal progress. I know you are beyond happy.
And, little Beau, i know the surgery will be a blessing. Make him feel so much better.
Gus' Mom
Oh, we hope they agree. Surely they want Beau to be comfortable. Days go quickly here also.
ReplyDeleteglad there are some options - and some are working for gus, already!
ReplyDeleteGlad you have had a good week. Here's to more like that :-)
ReplyDeleteoh ms yellow is beautiful
ReplyDeleteand yes I hope they approve of the procedure
Hoping Beau gets his eye lift!
ReplyDeleteTime does go faster as you age - it won't be long and I will be in the future!
What was that question you asked? I forgot already.
ReplyDeleteI agree the time is going very fast as an adult.. And, yes I am having hose forgetful moments..so it is not just you! Cricket, Gus and Beau have the best home and lots of loving care! I am happy they are doing better.. Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou are not alone with "losing" things all at the same time. Glad to hear it was a good week for everyone in your home.
ReplyDeleteFingers and paws crossed here for Beau. And yes, time flies, especially when we spend so much of it wondering where we left (fill in object).
ReplyDeleteHah. Way past you with those problems you mention. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove your header!
Have a blessed Sunday. ♥
We feel like you do about time.. We have already begun to notice things that happen in the fall-- like bugs singing,,, It seems just yesterday was the first day of spring.
ReplyDeleteSometimes things get lost here too,, but toys are always found and rounded up by a good sniffing nose.
The butterfly photos are sooo perfect,, I wonder if the butterflys think time is going fast?
Cricket looks soo happy and well. And isn;t it wonderful acupuncture can help and animal feel better!! Were happy for Gus,, and of course the help of the holistic vet!
An eye lift for Beau's eyes- should help! We hope everyone thinks so too..
Yellow seems to look happy that no trips to the vet are needed!
I hope you find some time for yourself soon Kim,,, A little calm and quiet helps,, right?
love

Beau has found ideal caretakers in you. I agree, the days speed by, as I age.
ReplyDeleteI'm not only forgetting where I've put things, I'm putting them in strange places! I stuck a dirty dish in the oven rather than the sink. I must be totally losing it.
ReplyDeleteI applaud all that you are doing with these rescue dogs. A couple of months ago, two older Goldens were dropped off at the local shelter. I meet the female because they brought her into the clinic I work at to have her ears checked. I soon became obsessed with these dogs and I found a home for the male and then I thought I had a great home for the female but it fell through. I was devastated and my own tiny home is bursting at the seams so I couldn't bring her home. Finally after a long period of treatments and special diet, they got her ears cleared up. Yesterday I got the good news that a wonderful family adopted her. It was so hard on my heart worrying about those dogs. I am happy to read that you are out their rescuing all that you do! Thank you so much!

Well, Kim, the older you get, the faster time will seem to go. It's amazing how white Gus's fur is on his face. He is such sweet looking boy. I am glad you got to meet a Samoyed, they are very sweet dogs too, just like your crew. Well, I don't know about those terriers, hmmm, Todd, are you a sweetie pie? Thanks for your concerns too, I really appreciate your kindness. It's about being evaluated for a liver transplant. Which is so scary to me. It has made all this very real. Take care.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! I'm so glad Gus is feeling better, and that something not too invasive might help Beau. As always, bless you!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, time does go faster and faster.
Crikey Mum put the icecream in the pantry the other day instead of the freezer. Most of the time she doesn't know if she's coming or going so you're not the only one. So glad Gus, Cricket and Beau are doing ok. It will be good for Beau if something can be done for his eyes, aye?? Your photos are so beautiful. The cat's eyes are amazing.
ReplyDeleteIt happens to us all....furry and human! x
ReplyDeletebless beau.
ReplyDeleteand all of you there at golden pines.
xo♥
Yes Kim, this has been a busy summer for us too. Time is flying by, pushed along by the incredible weather and endless things to see and do here in Seattle. Always good to see news from GP. Do - take care of yourself so those senior Goldens can have their hero fresh and energetic for the winter of their lives. Sounds like Gus and Beau will be just fine. We are thrilled. Easton sends Rooooooooooos.
ReplyDeleteWe're rooting for Beau's eye lift !
ReplyDeleteThe days are long and the years are short. Time goes by so fast, especially with all those appointments. Paws crossed for Beau.
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, loving the flowers and butterflies, so pretty. glad Cricket is doing well, such a cute face, prayers for Beau.Blessings Francine.IMG_1509.JPG
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear that Cricket is doing better...and Gus and Beau too! Good news! I don't know where the time goes either...each year goes faster than the last!! Happy Monday Kim!!
ReplyDeleteI'm struggling to keep up with anyone Kim. Love those butterflies and I hope you don't spend too much time at the vets this week! x
ReplyDeleteI am experiencing the same thing as you - there aren't enough hours in the day.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are SO lovely. And, I adore your devotion to your animals. I hope that Beau's "eye lift" helps. You're right - Ms. Yellow does not need one!
I bet Beau will be so much more comfortable after an eye lift - keeping fingers crossed!
