My Days Off Begin
Another one of those typical weeks at our house where not much is happening. Of course I look forward to Thursday arriving because the tempo of the week changes when I'm done with work. And, I'm done with the nearly one hour (each way) commute.
Since last fall, my days off begin with a 4-ish mile morning walk on a towpath along the Potomac River with a good friend.
But before any day really begins at our house, the dogs need to be fed. Todd and his shadow waited patiently, at least part of the time, for their breakfast.
Our newest arrival, Hershey has settled in pretty well and he's getting along with the other dogs.
Hershey's fixation with the cats continues. I think it's more of a curiosity than anything. If I'm worried about anything with Hershey, it's his appetite. He'll eat one day, and not the next. So un-Lab-like. I'm hoping now that he's done with an antibiotic, it'll improve.
And Charlie celebrated yesterday with a bowl of ice on **DAY 623** since his surgery to remove a tumor - Our goal is 108 more days to get to 2 years. Again, knock-knock-on wood and all paws crossed to get to this milestone!!

That looks like a lovely place for a walk. It's good to hear Hershey is settling in and hopefully won't be too much trouble for the cats. Congrats to Charlie. We think celebrating with a bowl of ice is a bit silly but if he likes it than it's perfect.
ReplyDeleteWe understand the cat fascination!! The towpath is a lovely place to walk, great that it isn't too far from you.
ReplyDeleteYou do such a great job taking care of all those doggies and kitties!
ReplyDeleteHooray for days off. You deserve every one of them. Hope Hershey soon resolves his concern about the cats.
ReplyDeleteHershey, we are so happy that you are doing well and Charlie you are doing outstanding and we are so happy for you. Thanks for the share. Have a beautiful upcoming weekend.

Your walking path looks wonderful, good to know you are being safe and walking with someone. Love seeing the dogs, they always look happy. Are you done with a special driving thing or did you retire? Enjoy your days off.
ReplyDeleteIf Todd were like our Scottie, Kyla-RIP, you'd be eaten out of house and home. She was a Foodie.
ReplyDeleteAs our doctor told Hugh, " Any day when you start with both feet on the floor is a GOOD day", and if all 4 paws get there, better still. They all look very happy, specially with ice filled bowl.
ReplyDeleteHello, I enjoy walking on the Potomac towpath in a few different places. YAY for time off, enjoy! I hope the good days continue for all the dogs. They are all cuties! Enjoy your day, happy weekend!

ReplyDeleteLove Love love your blog and your sweet dogs. I remember living for the weekends before retirement. 💖
ReplyDeleteCharlie looks chipper and will surely have many days of fair winds and following seas. In terms of this being a small world CC1 went to what he said was Harpers Ferry for a really enjoyable dinner - https://www.patowmackfarm.com/
ReplyDeleteBreakfast is our first order of business around here too! Well, after a few sips of coffee anyway. I bet the crew is very happy when your days off arrive, and your morning walk sounds wonderful too!
ReplyDeleteSo happy I met you . . .
ReplyDeleteYou inspire me!
Love thinking about you enjoying your four mile walk . . .
Hope that you are enjoying your weekend, surrounded by all those beautiful dogs and cats. Good news about Charlie, and fingers crossed that he continues to make good progress.
ReplyDeleteBreakfast is the first thing on the agenda at the start of each day, here too. Inca's, not mine - that has to wait! It's been the same with every Labrador I've had!
Glad Hershey is settling in ok. xxx
