Hooray for the weeks end

Hooray indeed.... with luck Murphy will be free of his decoration by Tuesday or Wednesday. He

walks around like poor me.... with his head held down! Doorways are a problem as is walking behind us all the while scraping our legs. When he wants, he can get up on the yard chairs or the bed but every so often he gives the woe is me look and waits for help. WE did remove the collar last night while we supervised him to prevent him from touching the incision. He played and was very happy. Today I will take it off for a short time. Alan and Lisa will be at work so it  will be quiet and he will be calm.

Murphy is not happy about the yard restrictions. Alan put up a temporary fence to keep him safe. What he does not know....yet... is that we are fencing it off permantely when the work is done.

I did mention that Alan was like a kid in mud...well, he was in mud. We are still waiting for the pants to dry to be washed!

I participated in Jo's Secret Valentine blog hop. We submitted a picture and she sent it to another then we visited and identified if it was from us. Always fun. These are made like the French Roses...fun to make.

 Speaking of Valentines.....Alan and Lisa brought me this from the Arabian Horse Show. It is a wonderful pouch that securely attaches to your waistband. One side has a opening perfect for my phone and the other has 3 zippered pockets great for license and money and keys. I love using it when Murphy and I go for our walks. Look at the sparkly angel...
Swishing in the laundry area sounds done so time for fluffing. Thank you for stopping by and for your kind words and friendship.
***update....my heel is healing nicely...still hurts to wear shoes... best to wear slip ins!

Happy Valentine's Day 2020

💖I have a secret valentine!💖Someone has one from me! Always fun to participate in Jo's www.serendipitousstitching.blogspot.co.uk blog hops. The Secret Stitching Valentine! Here is mine

I wonder who sent it? Is it you? Look how lovely they are. I think maybe they began as yo yos….and someone was clever don't you think? I am on my way to visit the other participants by clicking:

The week that was......

and still is! I have been busy with that and this.....

yes, French Rose dangling in my bathroom window. Great light comes in this frosted small window so I do not like to block it but still need a bit of something. They gently move about.
So, What else has been going on? Alan is still working in the garden...

The other night we had heavy rain which of course flooded the old pond area. Yesterday morning, Alan began to break it apart … it is a cement deep bowl shape... so now there will be drainage. He was like a kid playing in the mud! Do you notice that his able assistant is not helping? That would be because Mr. Murphy was at the vet.

Murphy the baby is now a boy...yes, he had snipping done. He came home very groggy and still wrapped in my shirt (actually this is a shirt that Dennis wore that I wear around). They suggest that he come with something familiar.... he knows this shirt well and it had my scent. He did very well. However, last night he spent a lot of time trying to remove it and he was able to get to his incision. When the vet called me this morning I told her and she said bring him in. Now he has a larger halo so we shall see how it goes. When Murphy and I walk he tends to retrieve things...

He carried this small log home...it is about 7 inches and at least 3 inches round and a little heavy. Determination is powerful with him. Of course since he eats what he chews, it is now gone. Hopefully the snipping will calm him down. Oh, and we have to change his food. He gained weight, again. Now stands 14 inches and weighs 18 pounds. He definitely is not a true Mini!!! We love him anyway.
Since we chatted Lisa and I have been shopping...

We took our comedy routine to the mall. It will be a while before we venture out again. As we ( Murphy and me) left the house for a walk the other evening,

The heavy wrought iron door caught my heel.... still very painful for walking. Took a sliver of flesh. Minimal walking for the week while it heals. So, there you have it. At the moment Alan and Lisa are getting ready to go to a horse show, the oven is on self clean, there is swishing in the laundry area and Murphy is napping. Me? I am ready for another cup of coffee. Glad we could chat. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship.
