Yup, mostly boring for us, no possums, not even any squirrels to chase! We did do some digging, to make our own excitement. BOL! We did get to bark at some buzzards flying overhead...and some dudes on their bikes, BOL!
The other day when petcretary needed to use her oven...she discovered that it wasn't going to bake anything anytime soon...Phooey! So now we have to have invaders come to fixand to check out why the dryer is not being very efficient lately and the washing machine needs some help too...else it floods if we don't stand by while it fills up...sigh...always something breaking around here. Is that exciting?? Nah, just very annoying!
Petcretary saw her doc, who said she's been OK'd to go back to her work, on the ninth. We'll miss her being here every day...but well, we need her to make green papers to pay for our noms, toys and treats! So we guess it's OK to be without her a couple of days a week...
She'll have been off work for a total of 12 weeks! (on short term disability)
There was a lot of stiffness still, and heat and swelling in her wrist and fingers, not at the break site, and OT was not really helping this issue...so the doc thought that maybe some strong steroid meds ( as dose pak) plus using prescription NSAIDs would help remove all the inflammation there, and yes it has already, even after two days! She's thankful for that...
She's mowed the lawn, did housework, and a lot of other stuff such as yanking out weeds, and planting shrubs, and nothing hurts, A wonderful feeling to just be tired...
Benji had been running the fence line with Rose and came in exhausted...so he laid down under the table...and soon went to his 'nest'. He wasn't too pleased at being disturbed with a phone pointed at him...sorry these images are grainy and not of the best quality...

| I'm hot, but I had fun! |
 |
| Sheesh, she never stops taking pictures!. |
 |
| Can you stop for a while and play with me?? |
 |
| See, I'm a good boy keeping you company while you bend down yanking out all those weeds...I even wash your face when the sweat is dripping, BOL! |
 |
We got a big envelope in the mail...and it was a Badge/Patch for Epi Dogs from Five Sibs, which petcretary had won. Thanks so much! We had nice weather most of the past week, not too hot, a lot of sunshine. We love this kind of weather.It makes for nice May flowers. Wow, how did it get to be May so soon already?? Speaking of May flowers, next Sunday is Mother's Day, so here are a couple of AI generated images for that occasion. |
Oh, and its May Fourth...may the fourth be with you, BOL! Petcretary has no interest in that kind of thing, sci-fi , well she mostly finds that sort of thing disturbing to her mind...but the rest of the unfurred gang here seem to enjoy that stuff...oh well! Glad we didn't have to get dressed up for that kind of theme, hooray!

| We're heading over to The Cat On My Head where all the other Sunday Selfies are...its a fun blog hop, and Kitties Blue are our hosts! Thanks so much, Kitties Blue, and your Mom too! |

ReplyDeleteYou say nothing happened, but the news of Petcretary's wrist being better is big news (for her) and your everyday activities prove you are getting on with life and not just lookig for 'insta moments'! Happy May. Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
Nice to hear Ms Petcretary is now mostly mended ... surely thanks to the two of you and your good care and attention, right? But sorry she must RTW and leave you to all the household chores ... just don't dig too many more yard-holes, okay.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to hear that Petcretary has almost recovered from her injury. What cute photos she snapped of you!
ReplyDeleteMay the 4th be with you - and her!
That is good news that Petcretary's wrist is good enough to return to work, although it is good to be able to stay at home for a time. Those are lovely photos, and the AI ones are cute.
ReplyDeleteEpic post guys, and would mew believe, the oven at BBHQ is acting up too!!!! Happy Sunday to mew all!
ReplyDeleteLove your selfies! And I'm glad the petcretary has healed well though I know you two will miss having her around all the time when she goes back to work.
ReplyDeleteWe're so happy to hear that petcretary is almost back to herself. Bummer that her recovery at home has to end. You will miss each other. Great selfies, guys!
ReplyDeleteYou two are so cute today. We're glad to hear that Petcretary is ready for work, but we know you boys and your dad will be missing her.
ReplyDeleteSounds like some things have got blocked in your washer. Oh well, what's the saying about raining and pouring? Anyways we are so pleased you staff are well on the mend. But don't let them be tempted to overdo it just yet, not until she is signed off as fully mended after the meds are done. Oooh, I love your AI art work.Just the thing for Mothers Day.
ReplyDeleteYour selfies are WONDERFUL. And I bet you were both so very helpful and deserve extra treats just for keepin your staff happy whilst she was off.
Purrs to one and all

ReplyDeleteYep, gotta make sure that the human can support you in the lifestyle that you've become accustomed to, fellas!
ReplyDeleteGreat newsy post! We were wondering how your Peeps arm was doing! Our Peep started walking around the block this week with Nutmeg (she uses her walker)! She was really excited! Her knee is still pretty painful and she really needs crutches or her walker to get from A to B bus she is hoping she can do it without too many aids in the next month. We too have been having things wear out...furrst the hot water heater went a few weeks ago and this nice guy came and brought us a new one. He looked at the furnace too and it has to get replaced and Alex's work buddies have been here the last 3 weekend. The washing machine is OK but the dryer is on its last legs. Mom cleaned all the lint out of it's pipes but it still takes 2 times longer than it used too. Thank heavens that it is warm enough to put the clothes on the line. Mom says she might have to go back to work to get everything fixed (sigh, the tariffs will kill us, dryers and furnaces and the gronky stove all are manufactured in the US)! But we are all happy and healthy and grateful for our furrends! Keep being AWESOME guys! Marvelous Marv and Mom Barb
ReplyDeleteAdorable selfies! The joy of home ownership is something always breaking, right?
ReplyDeleteThat's great news about your Mom' regaining use of her hand and arm. Too bad about the back to work part. Those are some awesoe phto of both of you, especially the last ones with the pretty flowers.
ReplyDeleteWoos - Misty and Timber
It seems like appliances all want to go at the same time.
ReplyDeleteHow col you won the Five Sibes patch! Their Mom is an amazing and supportive lady.
ReplyDeleteooh this look!!! and we are so glad your petcretary got good news from her doc....
ReplyDeleteNot exciting can be really good, you know? We're really sorry about all the mechanical issues, but glad your Mom is getting better!
ReplyDeleteWoofs,
Ollie
Glad your petcretary is feeling better. Those selfies are adorable!
ReplyDeleteSo glad your mum is well enough to go back to work. Yay-that's great news. Some weeks, it's good for things to be boring. Don't let your mum work too hard with weeding and mowing and all the other things she does. You guys always look great in your selfies (even the AI ones). Here's hoping it'll be a great week!
ReplyDeleteJava Bean: "Ayyy, we're glad to hear that Petcretary is able to go back to work, but it's too bad she can't just get paid green papers to stay home with you. That seems like the perfect job to me!"
ReplyDeleteLulu: "It was nice when Dada was off work for a few months after his emergency, but he didn't really have the energy to play with us much then."
Charlee: "Worked out okay for me. I got to spend lots of time in his lap!"
