How are you?  In some ways, every week feels like both a battle and an accomplishment these days.  

Blossom made it through another week!  She even went to physical therapy for the first time since March.  The doctor said that she hadn't really lost any muscle mass.  The problem is the communication from her brain to her spinal cord.  Please forgive the photo overload as she is currently the most photographed dog in the world.  Our girl even managed to go up and down the stairs a few times this week; she's a fighter.  She's still able to walk around and at times, she even runs.  It isn't pretty but it is beautiful to me.  

I Have a Pet Snake

That's a sentence I never thought I'd say.  Actually, it isn't true.  That being said...meet Gartie, my Garter Snake.  

Pandemic Blues

How are you doing today?  It's Sunday night and I've got a case of the Pandemic Blues.  I enjoyed a wonderfully relaxing weekend with plenty of family time but, reality has hit me that this virus is not going anywhere anytime soon.  Cases in North Carolina continue on an upward trend.  People are struggling.  I long for the days I can spend quality time with people I love and give them a long bear hug.  I'm supposed to be in Vermont right now.  Deanna and I had plane tickets to spend this week  exploring Vermont and Maine.  Thankfully, we have until December 31, 2021 to reschedule our flights without losing any money.  If any of my Vermont friends are reading this....I hope to see you as soon as things are safe.

Blossom is living her best life even though her back legs are so confused.  She is so loved and so spoiled.

June Something

We made it through the first week of June.  How are you doing?  I'm not 100% sure how I would answer that question.  I feel like I'm an alien in a world that I may or may not have visited before.  The bubble that I live in seems somewhat the same but, everything else seems changed.  

I saw this beautiful girl today for the first time in weeks.  She was as happy as always.  Today she said, "No open the door", "Dishwasher", "Ice Cream" and "Cheese".  Same ol' Laura.
