Missing Emma lu.......

One year ago today we lost out Emma. She is missed so much. This is what she would be doing on a hot day like today. Could never get her out of the pool.

I have a bad feeling.

It's going to be one of those days

Day Lily of the week.

on the run again.

Another good one showing Grace on the run.

Grace and Allie on the run!

This was a great day! Grace was able to play fetch today. She has a little limp but just watch her go! Can't wait to show the girls at therapy. It has been a long road since March 17th. We only had them out for a short while this am before it got up into the 90's.

Chris and grace

Enjoying a madori mellonball martini. I guess his tonsils are healed. Well I guess the vicodin helps.

Allie enjoying an afternoon nap.

The Lily beatle and its damage.

Christopher trying to eat a small piece of steak

Happy 4th of July!!!

Wow where is the time going?
So far this had been a great weekend weather wise.  Warm sunny. Chris is having a harder time with not being able to eat or drink.  It seems that all the antibiotics for the last 6 weeks and the stress of surgery has caused some thrush on his tongue.   Yesterday About 5 am he started  bleeding.  Coughed up nice nice sized blood clots. Even plugged the since.
Luckily packing his neck in Ice and gargling with ice water stopped it just in time that we did not have to go to the ED.
Grace was granted a little more freedom after her vet visit on Sat.  She does not have to be locked up all the time anymore.  She can start going for walks!!!!.  We just need to avoid jumping up on things like furniture for a while longer.  She has a pretty good limp, but I think it hurts me more than her. She is still just  toe touching but at least that is more frequent now.

Chris in recovery

Talking and eating cookies. Must be some good meds!

Chaos theory

Got to get the GoGo's pictures posted soon.





Jane Wiedlin and me
"Its such a rush  just being with you"

The tour manager who used my camera to take the picture had some shaky hands!!!! The lighting was poor and the colors horrible for a background for a picture. Have to take try and take some of the distortion out of the pics. Still better than nothing!!!!!



Yet another Vet appointment

So now Grace is going into her regular vet to see why she has a sore (possible boken) FOOT!!!!!!!!!!

TEST

TEST

Giverny? nope

Nymphaea 

Grace is up to old tricks....

Since Grace had surgery on Wed, her post op pain seems to be down a bit. She is not moaning and crying  AND killing me on a regular basis. The fentanyl patch comes of tomorrow, but I don't think it will hang on that long. Taking tramadol and antibiotic has been a challenge.  Worse than ever.   We tried a pill pocket the other day made from real meat. It worked for 2 doses....She wont go near them now!!!!

Still not eating well. An occasional treat. drinking well.  She will let me ICE her but no other PT.  It is going to be a long road.
Missing Little Allie.   Dont know when I am going to get her home again.  It has been since the middle of March.

Loven the rhodies this year

It was a good year for the rhodies

Water Gardens coming along well.

Have to get this pond cleaned out still 

reflection

Grace update.....Well here we go again.

Grace is going to need additional surgery.  It appears that here knee cap has been stabilized from side to side motion, but it is still slipping up her leg. (patella alta).  This surgery will be all soft tissue work. Healing time should be about 3 weeks.  She will have to stay immobilized again.

Don't know when I will be able to bring little Allie home :(

About 16 hours total and she is done! Thanks for all the help travel buds......we are so handy

Update on Grace's surgery

Gracie had her xrays done and the bone has healed well.  She does has some calcification of the cruciate ligament and tendon. This may lead to some early arthritis but he expects her to be fine.

There is some concern over her still guarding the leg. Hopefully with stretching of the tight muscles this too will be alleviated. So we will continue with rehab for a while.  The worst case scenario would be screw irritation but this is not very likely. 

She can slowly return to normal activity with no restrictions.

F4 tornado in Cades Cove.....

Happy Easter Everyone.

Easter Saturday looks like it turned out to be the better of the weekend days.

Grace is getting some Fresh air. Not sure if I will take her to grandpa's house to see Allie today.  Maybe to much excitement for her.

Soakin' in the sun and warmth

Getting in some much needed wood time.

Oh Vey the yard needs so much work already. Wish the rain/snow would stop.
