Our fall color is our cypress trees and I was able to get this picture the other day with nice skies.
This is our largest cypress. This tree stands about 15′ tall. It makes a mess when the leaves all fall off because it is right beside the pond.
The first clean up will be this weekend. I ordered us a mulcher/blower/vacuum with a bag to try out on this.
Enjoy the beauty of the great outdoors the skies, the trees and the breeze in the air.
Mr. Bird has been acting strange the last couple of days. He is a neutered male cat that is almost 9 years old. He weighed in at almost 15#’s.
I was stalking him this morning using the litter box and discovered he would go to pee but nothing was coming out. Then he would cry and growl somewhat this is not normal for him.
I took him to the vet this a.m. and he took out a syringe of urine so it would help his pain he has two kinds of stones. They did a urinalysis and a looked at it under the microscope.
Apparently, this is quite common in cats but especially male cats.
He’s taking antibiotics and tomorrow we will try the catheter for a few days and do some blood work but he may end up in surgery tomorrow instead.
He seems very uncomfortable he’s such a laid back cat normally. I have him in his own room so he can rest without puppy intervention. I hate it when something is wrong with one of my animals.
I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
We are smoking two turkey breast and a ham for mother n laws house. I will be making broccoli rice casserole as well.
If you are traveling drive safely on the roads and always remember to take a few pictures at your get-togethers.
Daisy has shared Zoee with Mr. Bird who does not seem to mind the clumsy feet of a boxer puppy.
They stayed like this for at least one hour then Bird got up and laid on top of Zoee.
Its wonderful everyone is getting along so well.
The little moments like this that I get to capture with my camera really make my day.
Daisy and Zoee play like this from the time they get up in the morning until they go to bed at night.
Being outdoors works out the best because they can run and run and do not have interference.
Inside they drag two baskets of toys from the den to the office.
This was the best thing for Daisy she was very lonely for dog companionship and now she has Zoee. She is not the least bit jealous she is the mother/sister and takes her job quite seriously.
I know Zoee has gained some weight in the last 9 days. Yesterday I added some pumpkin in her diet because that is supposed to help with weight gain.
I hope to get some really good action shots of them running soon.
Today is Jack and my 40th. wedding anniversary. It honestly does not seem like that many years to either of us.
We have 4 grown kids 3 of which are married, 2 daughter in laws and one son in law, & 7 beautiful grandkids 5 girls and 2 boys.
We have lived in our house for 39 and 3/4 years but feel we might be forced to move soon due to recent subdivision development in our area. It is just to close for comfort for the both of us. Everyday we here hammering, nail guns and slamming of boards from early a.m. to late p.m. Thank goodness the time changed and it now gets dark earlier lol.
We liked the quiet of country living and the simple life that came with it.
Jack will be retiring in the next year or two and that is when we will probably make our move. We have no idea where we will move to for the next part of our journey together.
I need to schedule an appt. to get our pictures taken I would rather not do them myself this time. The last time I took them was our 35th. anniversary.
Our life is wonderful together and we love each other very much. I would not have made it through the last year without Jack and his support.
Zoee is the newest member of our household. She is a 16 week old Boxer.
Daisy has been without another doggie companion for the last 4 years and every time she can be around other dogs she truly loves it.
We decided to get her a companion and along came Zoee. I believe you would call her coloring a reverse brindle she has quite a bit of reddish brown in her coat that I see when the sun is shining on it.
This was truly her first photo session she and Daisy were playing hide and seek and needless to say the heather got a bit trampled but it sure made some cute pics.
She has the cutest personality and this ear thing she does. We are currently trying to get some weight on her since she is underweight. We are also potty training and that seems to be going quite good.
I believe she is going to be a smaller boxer than Daisy and more dainty.
I want to get some pics this week or next of the two of them together hopefully the weather cooperates and the yard dries up.
