OH I think jeans will be just fine, with a pair of boots, a big belt with a metal clasp. Plaid shirt and a hat for sure! Comfy too!! Do you and hubs like to dance?? Line dancing?? Be a fun night! Get hubs a whip and spurs, a leather vest like the rodeo!!

I love most sports too, except not car racing!!! I think it stems back to when we were kids and went to the local speedway and the car whizzing by kicked up stones and dirt and I did not like that put me off ever since!

I never knew about all these knee issues either, sounds painful putting it back in but sounds like many manage just fine as I am sure Molly will.

Hope work goes OK today Sharlene, Mondays blech... at least mine is done, only 3 more days as I have to travel Friday for the meeting in Tauranga so kinda short week! xxx

Sharlene:
Nothing more country than jeans and boots and a cowgirl hat. Sounds like a lot of fun. I think I'll pick that weekend to trade with you!!! Is Addy wanting just heart worm protection or does she need flea stuff for KoKo also? I do not use any flea stuff on Tipper since she got Cushings. She has too many things going in her system now. I do however give her heartworm protection. She has never gotten a flea in 2 years now. I only walk her on the road and in short grass. I know they sell wipes to keep fleas off, but they have a strong smell and not sure she would want that in the house. They are from Vetri Science. Tipper lumps seem to have just gone into overdrive the last few months growing. Do you think the Trilostane could affect their growth?? Hope you get thru the Monday blahs at work. Blessings

Patti I haven't seen anything that says that trilostane would effect the growth of lympoma's one way or another.
Maybe Glynda or someone would have more knowledge about that

I'm sorry that they are growing, I think they just tend to do that and go through almost spurts from the feel of them.

hmm, yee haawww peeps. I think I am suppose to wear a skirt for the dance, but I need to check with some others that are going.

I like line dancing, but haven't done it since the 80's, maybe some early 90's. Hubs loves to dance, but not line dance. He said that isn't his thing. We'll see about that because in all honesty the man loves to dance, period and I can't see him sitting at a table if there is a song on that is moving. (although he's more a rocker than an CW dude). (or so he says) hahaha

Yea, I'm quite reassured by the knee issues that I've found out about on the forum here and not going to keep worrying so much. I know she is wobbly on it on uneven ground and will just have to make allowances for that and go on.
You just realize that there are so many thing that can become an issue if you don't pay attention, so trying to curtail those possiblities, at least limit them.

hugs all

blue jean skirt would work as well or any short dress and cowboy boots. add a hat.

fun time

I never realised the knee issues were so common, although the vet didn't seem overly concerned when she diagnosed it, and just showed us what to do if it happened. It also didn't seem to bother Hamish - he would happily do a 4 or 5 mile walk and just stop if the problem arose and once resolved continue along as if nothing had happened.

I think you'll be fine as long as you have the cowboy boots - they look good with anything.

I'm currently spending the evening staring out of the window - at lunchtime a car sat outside the house for around 15 mins, then returned at 3pm then again at 4pm and after sitting on the road for 15 mins backed onto our drive and sat there for 5-10 mins. I decided to go out and ask what they were doing but as soon as they saw me approaching they sped off the drive (without stopping to see if there were any cars on the road) then ignored the Stop sign at the junction. I called the police as OH told me they were also outside at 7am this morning!!! Fortunately I got the license plate and could describe the car reasonably well, but it's a bit worrying as I have no idea what they could be up to. The police were really nice and spent around an hour checking the local area, and have said to call immediately if it appears again. At least Henry has a bark that's way bigger than him

[molly muffin]

OMG, that is scary! What on earth could they be up to. Wouldn't thieves be a bit more circumspect about their activities? The driving off, without checking for cars and running stop sign doesn't signify anything good in my book. I'm glad you called the police. Where they going to run the license plates and track down driver? I hope so. Nip this stuff in the bud, whatever it may be.

Don't mess around okay. If you even suspect anything call the police. (speed dial?) make sure the doors and window are locked and you have something by the bed, like a baseball bat or whatever works. I am counting on Henry here!

That is a bit of a problem since I don't own any cowboy boots. I use to, but not in a long time. I think Hubs does though! go figure.

Best reason I can think of for a shopping trip
OH and I both have some cowboy boots courtesy of a visit to Wall Drug!!

The police didn't say what they would do about the license plate but they were watching the house when OH came home. It's just such strange behaviour - OH's current theory is that it's a spurned lover spying on the people opposite us! I think he's trying to get me to worry less.....

[molly muffin]

hmm, well that is possible of course. Was it a girl or guy in the car? Could you tell?
I'm sure the police will be proactive though. At least I would hope so!!

hmmmm shopping trip.

I am fairly sure it was a woman, maybe 30s or 40s, however I'm still trying to work out if the passenger window (and therefore there was more than one person) was open when it was on our drive.

I took Henry round the drive when the car was there at lunchtime, because I assumed it was just someone on their cellphone. I keep telling myself that if they intended to do anything to me they would have done it then, but I'm still rather worried.

[molly muffin]

Well I would worry too. It's just not normal behaviour to stalk anyone's home whether it is yours or a neighbour.
Is this the first time you've ever seen the car around?
Hopefully what ever they were up to you gave them a fright and they won't come back.
Hmmm got a handy camera? If they do come back you can get a pic of them too.
