It's been a week of ups and downs for my 'ol brain this week!
Monday, dad had his surgery. He was kind of grumpy when we went back up to see him on Thursday. But he looks great, no pasty-color! :)
I was elated on Tuesday when Jared graduated, then came reality again. The next training is an intensive 8-week course. Less than half graduated in the last class. Time will tell if Jared's body can take it, he's still sore from Airborne. But he did get a three-day weekend since Veterans' day is coming up. So that gave him a few extra days of healing time. (Plus he got to go to the movie theater and watch a couple of movies, a luxury!)
Kyle went to Crete to preform with the Honor Band again Saturday. It wasn't a contest this time, just a concert. He's off to work tomorrow at his 'old' job--but works mostly at his new one, Pizza Hut. (Hope he doesn't eat all the pizza!) HA
Saturday we lost Lily, our Minn Pinn. She got out and was by the highway, and a poor fellow accidentally hit her. He went into the bar to see whose little dog he'd hit. I felt bad for him! At least she didn't suffer. But, she leaves behind 5-week old puppies, I'd forgot to mention she had a litter back on Oct. 3rd. Two boys, two girls, one of each color. (Red/tan and black/tan.) It is their photos at the top of this post in the doghouse a week or so ago.
Patrick is slowly but surely making progress on my chicken coop. It has a roof and sides now. It just needs some chicken wire on a part of it and a door, then the henny pennys (and Mr. Rooster) can move in! ;-) I get sometimes 7 eggs a day, and sometimes 4. All are laying now but the bantie.
We had a hard freeze two nights in a row, the only thing it didn't really affect is the carrots, what few I have. We are having unusual weather for November, its to be in the 70's for a few days, then back to chilly reality! At least the weather is agreeable to get outside work done!
Oh my gosh Janene! So sorry about Lily.
ReplyDeleteCan the pups drink from a bowl and eat puppy mash?
They sure are cute!
Josh and I keep up with Jared's progress--Josh intends to follow in his footsteps after he graduates next year. We wish him the best!
The pups are doing fine eating soft food. They had plenty of fat and are keeping their weight up well! ;-)
ReplyDeleteJosh will have a hard row to hoe, but he already knows that! It doesn't help mama's stress level any, tho!! :(
Oh Janene, I am so sorry! Are you going to keep one of the babies? I know my Zoie sure does bring me comfort since I lost her momma. I am glad your dad is doing all right and I am glad Jared is ok! If he doesn't make it through the next level, there is a reason. I have a feeling he will do fine though!
ReplyDeleteYes, I think I'll keep one pup. (Don't tell Pat, ha!)
ReplyDeleteThanks for asking and caring! :)
