How's your week going? Sept 18, 2023

Hi All,

Not too much new to report from here. nathanfan1 says Hi. She still has no internet, but she's been spending her free time sewing and baking. I wish I were there to partake of all of the cookies!

Right now, I just have a bunch of work projects to get done. And I had to buy a new charging cord for my computer because a certain puppy grabbed it and tore it! She's teething so she'll chew on just about anything, but I wish she'd steer clear of electrical cords!

Okay, I'm handing it over to you. Check in and let us know what's happening where you are.

Sadly, Beau was put to sleep this afternoon. He is the beagle this picture. He was an abused dog from our local dog shelter/pound. Notice strange angle of right front leg which had never been properly treated after he was injured. The vet said he probably had been kicked very hard causing broken bone injury that was then ignored. He confirmed the injury was old and massive, thus unrepairable. We had him for two years of what we hope were the best years of his life. He was unable to walk around at all and had to eat while laying down the past few days. We had to carry him outside if we were quick enough for his 'relief visits'. Clearly, it was time for his peaceful rest.

As an aside, as we departed the pound several years ago [when we adopted him] with me holding the leash, one of the staff told Dawn, my wife, "A perfect match, they both walk with a limp."

Animals love to chew those nice soft electronic cords. I have to be careful where I have cords or my 2 kitties chew on them.
Larry your dog looks so happy in that picture. Thankful the end of his life was filled with love.
I am in Salem Oregon this week for the National RVing Women's convention. Today was spent on a wine tasting tour. Since I wasn't driving I actually drank a little wine.
I was on the coast for 4 days prior to the convention. I needed my ocean fix. I sat for hours in my car with the window diwn just listening and watching the surf.I love the ocean.

larryholmes, I'm so sorry about Beau. He was very cute. And it's clear he was much loved from the moment he came into your lives.

And FYI to everyone, nathanfan has been told not to expect internet until Friday. I can't help but think that if AT&T was dealing with an outage at a large company instead of a rural area, this would have been fixed by now.

How is it Friday already? This week flew by, and I feel like I didn't get nearly enough done. I'm hoping I get some down time this weekend.

So how has your week been?
