Morning!! I LOVE fridge shopping, take me take me!!! :D:D I was just talking about that with someone on here recently too!
Oh ahh you had a deer in the yard again, I would so love to look out and see that. Plus the raccoons and squirrels!! Sounds like you live in the midst of a wonderland to me!! I know you do, as I have seen your pics with the snow in the garden!!
Hope the weekend is going well for you, hubs and Koko :) Quiet day here for me and Flynn... it's raining... booo.... hisssss!
Addy,
Seems like we are on the same LIFE schedule. My fridge died about 2 months ago. I also didn't want it sticking out into the kitchen, so I special ordered a counter depth French door fridge ($2,600 on SALE!). Crazy that you pay so much more for a smaller one! It really does look nice, though, and I really like it. Unfortunately, the water doesn't come out of the door cold and one of the ice makers wasn't working (but, it is now???). Anyway, they are bringing a new one on Wednesday. Then I will have to hurry to stock it up before my surgery on Thursday, since I won't be able to drive for 6-8 weeks.
Well, it is done, guys, appliances ordered after so much drama, research and us just being stupid us. I did end up getting a super, super deal on everything and the shiny stainless steel stove, which I LOVE, the frig, which is beautiful outside and crappy inside but fits almost exactly without being custom so I sacrificed the interior and the dishwasher, I am no thrilled about though it is rated number 7 by Consumer reports. I am so visual that I dont really like the way it looks but the model I ordered has been changed; I dont want to purchase a brand new model with no history.
Mary Beth, I could not go to counter depth because they were all too wide. As soon as I went up to 22 cubic feet, the frigs were just what I wanted but I cant have it look so awful, the kitchen already is not open like most people want, I cant afford to make it look worse.
I am excited and I think the new appliances will give my kitchen an instant face lift. On to the new light fixtures, blinds and cabinet hardware:D:D:D:D:D:D
It has helped take my mind off Zoe and not worry about Koko's annual tonight. I am starting to freak out today and it is because I am frightened he will have something wrong.
Wow, I wrote a book:o:o:o:o:o:o:o Did not mean to go on and on
The new appliances will make a huge difference. My kitchen cabinets definitely need replaced; they are circa 1960-something pressed board and literally falling apart. The new stainless fridge, dishwasher and range hood even improved that look! My fridge is only 22.3 cf, but you are right, since it is counter depth it is 36 inches wide.
I sympathize with you Addy about taking Koko for his annual. It is like we are waiting for the other shoe to drop. I felt the same way when I took Max for his eyes - terrified they were going to tell me something awful. I do wish we lived closer to each other!! Any chance when you sell your house you will move to Pittsburgh? :D
I am sure Koko will get a good report tonight and I'm looking forward to hearing about it!
Hugs to you!
I hope he does, Mary Beth. Some days he just does not seem right to me. His groomer thinks he is playing me because I give him more attention when he acts quiet. I'm not so sure.
My cabinets are old too but I thought if I put different knobs on them it would help update the look. I think we decided to forgo the new sink and counter tops. We have other projects that seem will give us more bang for our buck. I really like the old counter tops I have anyway.
At least we get to enjoy the appliances for awhile too.:):)
We have family in Pittsburgh we never get to visit. Maybe one day we can come to visit everyone!!!
Addy:
Sounds like you got a great deal and your kitchen will be all spiffed up! Good job! You'll have to show us a picture! Blessings

Sounds like a good kitchen plan to me.
Gosh I hope that you just have the worries when it comes to Koko and that everything tests fine for him. I don't think you'll feel okay with it till you have the test results in your hot little hand. :) :) Then it will be okay, as long as they are good and you can breath again. It's not easy though. We know that
Sending you tons of love, hugs and support! Go Koko!
love

He does not have any tick born illness or lyme disease. New vet is not sure what to give Koko to protect against it if we dont use Frontline and Heartguard. First she thought I should try Revolution and Frontline. I was not real happy about that. She was not crazy about Sentinel and Frontline, she is going to make some phone calls.
Cool thing was the Snap test; we had the results of the heartworm and tick born illness test in eight minutes. Wont have bloods back for a while.
She said he needs another dental and he had one a year ago, five days shy. She said she does not like it that his teeth are so bad already and that I have to brush his teeth after this next dental. I told her I was not happy with the way he acted after his dental last year!!:
She said maybe they need to tweak his anesthesia and give him better pain meds.
I am just relieved no tick borne illness as the ophthalmologist thought it was a possibility, contributing to his eye issues.
and we wait for the stool sample too.
I'm over the kitchen already. It was a nice distraction.
Koko was not a drama queen at all. You know how bad he usually is. She is holistic and western vet and she has spa music playing and essential oils going. Koko was really happy. I could not believe it.
We ran out of time as I was the last appointment of the day so I did not get to ask about New Zealand and her time there. But she is very calm for a vet and all smiles.
What a good boy!! She sounds lovely Addy!! A smiley vet is a good thing, like how she is investigating your concerns about the meds further too. Ohhhh music and smelly oils, flash!! :D
I remember when Koko had his teeth done last year, took him a while to get over that if I remember correctly. Hopefully with her knowing that she can tailor the anaesthesia a little better so it does not affect him so much.
Pleased to hear the good results so far, fingers crossed the blood and stool come back good too. :D xx
Addy:
That sounds like a wonderful place where you take KoKo. It does help a lot to brush their teeth, I brush everyone's teeth here every morning. Tipper know as soon as I am done brushing mine it is her turn. She loves it, but has had it done since she was a puppy. Maybe she just likes the poultry toothpaste!! Blessings
