A Close Eye

Thank-you all for the good thoughts for Annie.  By late Sunday afternoon she seemed more like herself and was more willing to take a walk, and was up and around more.  The shivering or tremors have almost stopped completely.  But because I am still seeing short bouts of them, I am keeping a close eye on her to make sure their frequency isn't increasing again.

With Annie feeling better, it was my turn to be a little under the weather. I am guessing that I must have picked up a bug on Saturday at the laundromat that probably hasn't been thoroughly cleaned since the 1980's.  But I stayed home from work today and keeping an eye on me was Todd, who, when I woke up from a nap, was staring at me. The house was totally quiet and there was something so peaceful and tranquil about that moment.
Todd must've felt it too, because he didn't move a single muscle. And after I took his picture, he and I both went back to sleep.  
I'm feeling much, much better, and will be back at work on Tuesday.  
I hope your week is off to a good start.

  3. Good to hear Annie is feeling better. She looks wonderful. Todd is so well loved. I know he loved having his Mama to take a nap with in the middle of the day. I am sure his love helped you to feel better. Love the last picture. Have a wonderful week.

  6. Napping with Todd sounds like a perfect way to spend part of your sick day ... sorry you had to take a sick day in the first place. With a house full of seniors like you have, it must be one after another needing a bit of extra attention or vigilance. I've said it before, and I will say it again ... Kim, you totally ROCK.

  7. Happy to hear Annie is feeling better. Sorry you are under the weather though. We laughed that the laundromat hasn't had a good cleaning since the 80's...Kind of ironic right?! Get well quick Miss Kim!

  10. I think I found my blog signin, so, let's see if this works.

    I'm glad that Annie is feeling better, and sorry that you have been under the weather. Todd is just the sweetest thing, I love every single picture you post of him. Though, I'm sure that terrier that he is, he still has his terrierist moments.

  27. Annie is such a beauty, and I am happy she is better.

    You and Todd reminded me of my work life when my dogs loved it best when I was home with a sick day and we could all snooze together. Precious times.

    Cheers and hugs,
