Productive Time Off?


~The lovely Ms. Yellow~
Today was the first of 4 days off for me.  It began with my getting the dogs walked and worn out for the holistic vet who was coming late morning to see Gus. Unfortunately, he's not had a good week. He's been irritable and has needed more help getting up and around. I'm hoping that the treatment of acupuncture and B12 injections will help. He's been quieter this evening, so I'm hopeful it's already helping him.
The rest of the day was a lazy one. I really need these days but I'll admit that I always feel a little guilty about not getting much, if anything, done. But I still have three more days, so there is plenty of time to be productive.
However, I was asked about taking a new addition named "Buddy" who is having some problems in his current foster home. He's 9 years old, making him younger than we usually agree to foster. He'll be coming to us with some medical issues. But I'm willing to give this boy whose photo is below, a chance and a new place to call home.  I'll let you know when he arrives which I hope will be this weekend.
So much for being productive with my time off!

  1. I disagree. Recharging yourself is productive and necessary.

  3. Never feel guilty, time off doesn't mean you have to work hard then as well. Do whatever you fancy, and Buddy, I do hope he fits in with the rest of the crew. Take care, the work day will be there all too soon. Jean.

  8. Chill all you can... you know what I always say... twenty years from now nobody is going to know the difference.
    Buddy looks to be a scrapper, with those two black eyes. He looks apologetic too. I hope he works out and you can find him a good furever home.
    Hugs.

  15. First, I must agree, Ms. Yellow is a pretty little thing. So so sorry Gus has had a tough week which I know translates into a tough week for you. He looks like he might be feeling better. Here is to hoping he will continue to improve this weekend. Hope you will have nice weather. That always makes one feel a little better!
    Buddy looks so sad and tired. I know he is coming to the best possible place to improve.
    Hugs, you are doing great.

  17. Anyone with a large pack knows that plans often don't work out as expected. We learn to go with the flow. When Bentley started his acupuncture we were warned that at first we wouldn't see any improvement and he might actually get worse. He did. But after his third treatment he suddenly showed amazing improvement. And he loved those treatments. He slept so well and got the munchies too.
