Morning Yard Zoomies

🤪 PLAY TIME!! 🤪

The back yard isn’t one for a “Better Homes and Gardens” centerfold layout by any means; but at least it’s finally safe for my puppies to really have fun together in with just me to supervise. HUGE thank yous to the pups’ “Grandpa Chuck“, his friend and neighbor, Josh, and Josh’s employee, Aron, for ALL their HARD, back-breaking work!!

Since this is supposed to be “Wordless Wednesday”, I will limit my verbosity for this post 🤣 and just say I hope that everyone has a great hump day!!

Not a Fluff Ball Anymore!

Play with me, Mama!!

Hard to believe our boy is nearly four and a half months old already! And he’s so. damn. smart!! Bogie and Ducky knew what they were doing when they picked him out for us!

Memories

Last night was six weeks since Ducky joined her sisters and brothers at the Rainbow Bridge; so as I do almost every day, I went looking through all my photos of the last couple of years. I found this one for today’s Wordless Wednesday blog hop post….

I love you, Baby Girl, now and forever.

And this one where she was wearing her happy face….

Hi Mama! I love you too!

I will forever miss my baby girl, my soulmate. About the only thought that makes me feel better at times is knowing that she is whole and healthy again; and playing with Callie, Shadow, Radar, and Bogie while they all wait for me to join them. Truth be told, Radar is probably waiting for hubby. But that’s ok…they had an instant soul connection, like Ducky and me.

Happy Wordless/Wordy Wednesday everyone. Give all your fur-kids some lovies for me. 💗

Golden Angel Girls

This has always been one of my favorite photos of Callie and Shadow. (Callie in foreground.) The memories make me smile now for the most part. The girls will always be with me in spirit.

They really were that closely bonded from Shadow’s first day with us. Callie was only six months older, but she always watched out for Shadow.

Playtime

Sorry the video is so dark and upside-down, but it happens. I just wanted to post one of my 2 hooligans having fun together.

Pleased With Herself”

Just before Hurricane Florence was due to sweep through Upstate South Carolina, hubby and I put three sandbags down across the outer screen doorway of the porch.

My only concern was getting Shadow into the back yard safely. She tends to be skittish about “obstacles” since her first CCL sprain a few years ago. So, hubby held the door open while I stood ready to help her over the hurdle.

“Please, Mom, I’d rather do it myself!” By Monday morning, she was a pro! I’m so proud of her!

What A Difference 2 Weeks Made! – Wordless Wednesday

Here’s a video of Shadow walking down the hallway at the vet’s office, just before her stem cell infusion…

As you can see, her back legs and paws were very close together as she walked.

Then, at her two-week follow-up visit, we took another walk down that same hallway…

See how much further apart those back legs and paws are?

Now we are at the four-week mark and she’s walking even better. And there are other signs, too, that those stem cells are “doing their thing”.

“Pure Contentment 

Shadow, Ducky, and I spent nearly two hours in the back yard earlier this afternoon playing chase and fetch and just enjoying the sunshine. 

When Shadow’s arthritis started bothering her, I decided it was time for us to come back inside for some rest.

Once inside, the girls had a 30-second play session and then decided to take a nap.
