Just a few pics to show you how ever-so-exciting my Friday nights are, now that I'm a middle aged woman.
I just got a call from the vet. She said that Percy is definately doing better and definately not giving up. However, he is only taking between 5-10 steps and that is not good enough for him. So, she proposed that they keep him over the weekend (at no charge....wow!) and continue with his therapy until Monday. She likes the idea of the wheelchair and is going to give us theirs to use along with the one John made, so that we have an outdoor and indoor one. (This is the senior vet I'm talking with now). They said that Percy has such a great attitude and is so easygoing....I know they want him to make it as long as he can. I'm really thankful that we have been blessed with such caring vets. They have been wonderful since we have moved here. I know that they will try everything in their power to help him. So, we are Percy-less until Monday....I really miss the guy, I must say. I haven't visited him since Tuesday. Not because I don't want to....but because it upsets him so much when we leave. He tries to pull himself up and follow us, and that is not good for his back. He needs to lay still. And he just gets so sad when we leave him....I can't stand to see it! But I know that he is getting the best care. They don't even have him in a cage, just on some blankets in the doggie room (since he can't get up anyway.) She said everyone comes in and says hi to him and he loves it....I know he isn't lonely.
Today wee one and John are painting the inside of the tree house. She is painting each section in alternating colors. Neon green and pink....with blue trim. It should be wild! She has settled on the blue indoor/outdoor carpet to match. I can't wait to see what it looks like! I'll take pics later on today.
Betsy is going to vacuum out the pool, and I am going to get my butt off of here and go to the Hallmark open house. WooHoo! There is also a festival/bazaar at the local Catholic church that I would like to go to. Maybe that will get my crafting juices flowing! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! HAPPY OCTOBER!!!!

awwwwwww Your Mom must be really special!!!
Sounds fun! I love the placemats! So glad to hear that Percy is doing better!
I wish I was going to a craft festival somewhere. Hope you have lots of fun and get some great ideas! By the time we get through football and cheerleading, I'm about wiped out. I have been sleeping from about 1pm to 6 pm every Saturday. That's what a few hours in Florida sun coaching 19 girls and watching and cheering my two boys on with their games does to me!! It's pathetic. I wake up and it's almost dark. We had dinner at 10pm (Burger King again- but they have the best salads)... I think the parking lot is getting to be a favorite spot for us to eat. Too funny about the glass being there for a week. Love the pumpkin placemats and I think that plate is awesome!! Hugs,

I used to love craft fairs and Todd and I would go all the time even when Bethany was born, but after having two children, forget it, no fun anymore. So happy that Percy is feeling better. I bet you do miss him though. If you are like me, you are used to having to walk over him every day. Cannot WAIT to see the treehouse all finished!!!
Hugs and love,
Lisa
Soon Wee One will be trying to sneak a sleeping bag out there! Something tells me she'll want to try it out one night. At least till it gets dark and the critters start coming out! Great photos and good news on the Percy front.

That is just wonderful that the vet isn't charging you for the weekends and giving you another wheel chair at the same time. So caring. Too bad all vets aren't like that. LOL about the glass. I Hope you had fun at the carnival. I really do love that diningroom table.
Oh it sounds like such a nice weekend... so Octoberish. LOL
I'm soooo happy to hear Percy is doing better. It really seems like you have a great vet. It's so hard to find.
I loved the pictures and can't wait to see the tree house painted. It really does sound like it's going to be wild! ~Melissa
I just read your journals. Nice to meet you!! Visit mine sometime. I'm also a stay at home mom.
I loved hearing Percy is better now that IM back. Camping was tiring. BUT FUN. WOW I m glad he is better. I understand yournot visiting becuase I know the vets always say it does up set them and I gues the dogs think here i am sick they wont take me home. and they want to go home. I bet it is hard for you to walk out. I love your pics and cant wait to see Percy in them in the walker.
