Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!

Hmmm well I asked the wrong person to leave me some out some leftover pie didn't I!! You have been a busy little bee today leaving all those messages! What a lovely person you are!! x

geez, I made some in October, didn't the post arrive with it? :D:D

I am in the holiday spirit. :) Just a posting freak. LOL

Actually think I am fighting a sinus infection, so will probably had to bed soon. Didn't have time to get to the doc today, probably not tomorrow either. Busy work day. *sigh* Hopefully I can fight it with lots of fluids to loosen things up till then.

Molly is having a snooze next to me. It's snowy out and a bit icy in spots. She did a bit of a tumble on the ice earlier. Scared the bejeebes out of me and I picked her up and carried her when we can back from our walk, so she wouldn't get on the slippery stuff. We'll see if she is stiff tomorrow or not. It was her weak leg that went out from under her and she went down on her side rump. Poor thing. Think it scared her a bit, she got the shivers. Was fine as soon as we came in though. I've been looking for the Pawz booties to try with her. I'll carry her up the stairs tonight (like I don't always anyway) just so she doesn't strain it any more than it has been tonight.

Well, finish checking a couple thread then off to bed.

Hi, I was just about to put a blanket over you as thought you must have dozed off in your chair!! Bugger about the sinuses, drugs and lots of them I say... pain killers too. Now if that was Miss Milly feeling poorly, you would have her to the vet in a shot, so make time for yourself Sharlene, we can't have you getting worse!

Aww poor Molly, icy already huh, that sucks. Hope she just got a fright and is fine tomorrow. I don't think there are many threads from the last year you haven't already checked!! :D:p:D:p

Have a good sleep you guys! xxx

Poor Molly, slipping on ice is frightening.
Hope that you feel better soon!

I think that the quick temperature drop is making many people sick. My father has a sinus infection and I'm coming down with a cold.

Hi Sharlene. Be careful with the sinus infection. Mine went to my ear and I'm being tortured daily. Never had an ear infection in my life and it isn't fun. Heavy antibiotics and ear drops for now, I'm on day 3 with no relief.

Sorry to hear about Molly slipping. I let Keesh out the other day and he literally slid down all 3 steps in the backyard. I'm a bad momma, didn't realize they were covered in ice. He was ok though.

Hope things are well with you. I've been crazy busy, 6 birthdays in immediate family, anniversary and 5 weddings to get done in December.... think I'll get shopping done Christmas Eve??? :)

Sharlene:
Sorry to hear you are fighting a sinus infection. That is no fun at all! Too bad you have to work too. I know what you mean about Molly falling on an icy patch. With Tipper's back legs being bad, she scare me too when walking. This is what I do with her. I shovel a path from the back door in to the yard and shovel a big patch in the yard for the dogs to go potty. When we go out the back door there is a small concrete walkway that gets iced and you cannot get it off. I keep a real log rug folded by the door inside and when I open the door I throw it on the concrete over the ice so she can get a grip and not fall. When she is done I put it back to use again. That is the only way I can take her out to go when icy. When I walk her I am always looking down at her and if I see ice , I kind of lift her with the harness over it. The harness makes it a lot safer as you can manipulate them before they slip and get hurt. Maybe you could try one on Molly. Tipper has a real soft kind that really supports her. It is a worry when you have dogs with bad legs out in this weather. Hope you feel better and get rid of that sinus trouble. Send the cranberries down! Blessings

Molly is fine today, so think it was just a scare. I carried her up the stairs last night and she was a bit needy during the evening, but none the worse for wear, except now she is a bit leery of the front step. It's a patterned concrete, and gets slick. I think it was actually slicker where hubs shoveled than if the snow had stayed there for a bit. He was being helpful though, so not saying a word.
It was dry this morning, so that is good and she was fine.

Thanks for the well wishes. Mine Always goes to my ear Judi. I've had problems since I was a kid with ear aches and ear infections and sinus's just always get to me too. I've had xrays repeatedly, allergy tests, everything to try and get it figured out. Nothing so far.
I got a chest infection back in 1998, and between that and what I suspect was mold in the bungalow we had then, I was on an inhaler for years. It was after I was on that inhaler that I started with sinus problems. When we moved to this house, I weaned myself off the inhalers and haven't needed them again, but the sinus problems continue and yea, I get sinus infections pretty easily. Maybe once a year at least, usually this time or spring, with the weather changes.

Well, enough about that. :) I'm muddling through, drinking lots of water, so far I haven't had time to go get meds, as I'm working from home, but definitely working as others are off today. (this is my lunch break at 3:30pm) We'll see if I feel worse tomorrow I'll go then, if not, then maybe it'll clear up on it's own.

Sharlene,
Don't you know that you are not allowed to get sick!:eek: no seriously Sharlene, I hope you get plenty of rest and feel better very soon.

Such a scare with our little Diva. I am so glad that she is okay.:p

NOW SIGN OFF AND GET SOME REST WOMAN!!!!!:D;) xxxxxx

But Flynn is not right! :(

I am going to try though. :) I'm also sort of browsing looking at winter holidays in like Caribbean or Mexico, some place warm for a weeks escape in like February.

hugs all,
