Bailey and Friends

Hey Susan! :)

How is Florida treating you and Bailey and Bob? Are you having warm weather? I hope so! Can't let California and Arizona have all the good sunshine. :)

Any sign of Pat the alligator yet?

I hope you're having a blast. We're freezing our tails off up here!!
I have to worry about losing the white dog in the snow bank these days. :)

Hope you are having a blast and enjoying everything.
hugs

I see I've not posted on here since 1/15....so I guess a quick update is in order.
That must have been the day I learned of the death of a very good friend. It was not entirely unexpected. She was 87, had beaten three different types of cancers, had recently had pneumonia and was very frail and weak when I left DE. It still came as a shock. She was very special to me.:(

Then I reestablished contact with a friend from VA with whom I'd not spoken in at least ten years. :)She is now living in FL. Through her I learned about the deaths of two more friends several years ago. :(One had moved back to Australia and we'd lost touch. The other had chosen to remove herself from society....a sad situation. They both had been good friends for probably ten years. :(

Meanwhile, back at the condo almost every day we had someone coming in to do something.:confused: It got old real quick.:mad: I was freakin' out because of all the money we spent and Bob seemed to think I was speaking Chinese when I kept saying....We have NO MORE MONEY!!!! WE CANNOT BUY ANYTHING ELSE!!!!!:mad::confused::eek:

We've been here 5 weeks now and things are beginning to run fairly smoothly. The bills are beginning to get sorted out. The people are through coming in and out.:) All the work is finished.:) We are actually moved and settled in. The boxes are all gone.:) We've even had a couple of 80 degree days.:) And I have begun to check out the local art scene and there are some neat art/craft shows coming up.:D I've even had a workout at the fitness center.:D I'm still getting the "office" set up but that's mostly done and I'm working on getting a routine established to regulate my hours and schedule.

Bailey seems quite content and there are two new pictures from her first grooming here which we think is her best grooming ever.:D The only thing I'd ask them to do differently is to leave the eyebrows a tad longer so we can see more of the tan hair above her eyes. We will be sure to get her groomed the day before we leave to go home.

I'm going to have to meet my brother for lunch:mad: and let him stop by the condo..:mad::mad:..but then that will have been taken care of and be done with.

We have seen Pat the alligator but only a few times. Most of the alligators have been hiding. :confused: I don't know why-I guess they don't like the cooler weather even though they're cold blooded animals. I don't know where they go-because they can't just stay under water.:confused: I don't think I'll go looking for them.:eek:

Oh no the brother visit:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

I can send mine down to visit too if you like:p:p:p:p You can even keep him for awhile.;);)

I loved Bailey's new groom, they did a perfect job and I am also glad she is feeling better.

be glad you are there and not here because this has been the worst winter in twenty years. The dogs and I hide in our bedroom every night and I told hubby I am not coming out until April. All I can say is good thing Easter is late this year. Things are so bad the other day 4 degrees felt balmy.:eek::eek::eek:


Gotta run love ya

Hi Sus,

I updated Koko's album cover with a quick pix from today. He needs to go the groomers but we have been waiting for the cold weather to abait. At this rate this winter is going that will be June:mad: He has a thread on Everything else from when he had some emergencies.
But you are right. He should have his own thread now on Everything Else.

Thank you dear friend for all that you do.

love ya

What a handsome fella Koko is. He's looking pretty good in that picture Addy.

Susan, I've been lax in updating to your thread lately. Apologizes. I hope you are enjoying the lovely weather in Florida and getting out and doing fun stuff. I was jealous when my hubby went to California last week and I had to stay in this nasty cold weather. ugh.

See much of Pat the alligator this winter?

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Hi Addy-thanks for the prompt posting of the picture. I went back through all your albums again, just to refresh for myself.

Sharlene-Pat has been mostly missing. We've only seen him/her once recently. Yesterday we had a mini turtle convention.....well, large turtles, mini convention. Plus this HUGE sand crane-these things stand over 4 feet high, walked right in front of our lanai. They are gorgeous birds. Unfortunately I was not quick enough with the camera. The birds around here are magnificent. I'm going to have to go out with my camera and just stroll around trying to get some shots. Bailey thinks she'll take on some of these large birds but we tell her to mind her own business.

The alligators are only now starting to show back up. They don't seem to like it until the weather gets well into the 70s. I don't know where they are when we don't see them....if they just stay in the water or if they migrate somewhere else. I've also been told there is other wild life roaming around here. We saw a dead snake in the parking lot and someone mentioned the word cougar. A number of people have warned us not to go out to walk after dark.

It's been interesting in that Bailey's grooming job-the fluffy one seems to be holding. I don't know why...if she did something different in the trim but it's been a month now and we've even given her a bath ourselves and it's still that fluffy furry look. I'm going to be disappointed when we get back to DE. I'll be taking lots of pictures and maybe we'll run her by the groomers soon after we get back.


Well, gotta run. Brother is coming by tomorrow for lunch and visit. :( Ryan arrives on Thursday for 4 days.:D:D Still lots to do to get ready. Thanks for looking in on us.:D
Love,
Sus

Well, it's 12:43....still waiting on brother who was to be here @ noon. Very typical. I can't wait for this "lunch" to be over.:(
Sus

Hope the time flies by and it's all over with soon.

sending you big hugs,
Sharlene and molly muffin

Hope "lunch" went well;)

Well we haven't gotten calls for bail money have we? :) :)

Hope you are hanging in there Susan!
