Been busy

As usual it has been a very busy holiday season and post holiday season.  My little guys have kept me very busy.  Jock, my  old man, is a puppy this morning.  He is running and tossing his toys in the air.  Not bad for a 9 year old.  Missy is still going although I see some slow down now.  She has turned 17.  Not bad for a medium sized dog and Missy has always been really healthy.  It is sad to see them all get old.  Honey makes up for it though.  She wanted to go outside and play this morning, that is until she was out about 10 minutes.  She is not used to the cold and for our area it is really cold this morning.  We are at 31 and I know the rest of the country is worse off, but we are not used to this.  Our winter is a comfortable 40-50's.  And it won't last long.  Anyway, Honey was demanding to come back inside after about 10 minutes.

I have some new daffodils in my yard this winter.  Someone is missing some bulbs they planted.  The squirrels brought them to me.  I get a lot of my plants from the wildlife.  I got all my lantana shrubs courtesy of the birds.  That goes for my Turks Caps as well.  Oh and the lemon mint that graces my yard every spring.  Gotta love those birds.

My cats have all gotten old at once and I will lose Sally soon.  She has slowed down more and more.  She has cancer.  She is not in pain. She sits on my lap and still purrs and she is still eating good.  So until she tells me it is time, she will live right here comfortably.  Her new favorites spot is the bottom of a nightstand when I am working.  So I made her a nice fleece bed on it.  My babies are all growing old at once.
