Return to the living

I have been down with the flu and so far down I did not think I would resurface.  During all this my babies took good care of me.  Jock and Duncan kept my bed warm for me.  They loved me being sick.  It meant that they got to sleep on the bed most of the day.  I would crawl out of bed to take care of my babies then back into bed.  Honey was really worried because I was home all day and night and I wasn't playing with her.  I couldn't go outside and throw the ball for her.  She never brings it back, but she does love to run after it.  Well, I did manage to do Thanksgiving dinner yesterday and had my son and grandchildren here.  It was nice.  Honey, Jock, Duncan, and Missy thought so too.  They got turkey with broth and I have quite a bit frozen for them.  I always boil the carcass and freeze the broth to use in their food.  The dark meat is chopped up and put in their food. 
Today, Honey spent almost all day outside.  She destroyed my chayote squash I had planted.  She was in the process of digging up my lime tree when I caught her and removed the pot with the tree.  She then turned her attention to the pot that had held the squash.  That pot is now in little pieces all over the yard.  Along with sundary other items that she has destroyed.  But she had a good time.  She was fine with the wind.  She didn't mind it at all.  However, when the front blew in and the temp dropped, she wanted none of that.  She went outside and in just a few minutes, I heard her crying at the window.  She was standing up with her paws on the window sill and whining.  She had never done this before, but she has never seen cold weather either.  She came in and did not want to go  back out.  She is a cutie. 

Jock has gotten very needy and jealous of the other dogs and the cats.  He will demand his lap time now.  He sits in my lap while I crochet.  Usually he is on one side and Duncan on the other, with Spats and Van hanging over my shoulders.  I do have quite circus here, but I love it.  I am working on Honey and her biting the others.  She is trying to play, but they don't like it and it hurts them.  So we are working really hard to control this.  She is doing pretty good, not great.  She definitely wants her way.
