OUCH I know what you mean about the stitch , it is so frustrating
Hopefully you can get it removed and it wont be so annoying
Glad you are seeing the light..Hang in there
Good morning everyone. The eye is better this morning so maybe it will be okay until my regular scheduled doctor's appointment comes around. The lasting effects of the anesthesia is still hanging around however, maybe in a day or two all of this will be over. And things will get back to normal.
It looks as if we will get a visit from Ida very soon with rain and some wind blowing in from the Gulf Coast starting after midnight. This is a late season hurricane, but we need the rain. Mama and Izzie had a standoff this morning. Izzie wanted on the couch, Mama and Peaches were already there, so Izzie jumped up and squeezed into a tiny spot next to Mama. Mama wasn’t happy and sat up looking at Izzie in his boldness. Then Mama gave Sue and I that look of “I really don’t have to put up with this do I?” So Sue took Izzie and placed him on the bed in our bedroom and all were happy.
Suzie is doing fine with the leg this morning, no limp, no pain. I just finished my second cup of coffee and need to get going before fur gang starts getting anxious about going for their walk. The temperature outside is warm and will be a good morning for a walk, so I will go for now, talk with you later.

Dash likes to lay on the floor next to the couch while I'm sitting on it. So does Lily. If she wants that spot, she'll lay herself down next to Dash and lay her head on Dash's hip. Dash doesn't like that, so he'll get up and position himself in another spot where he can look at me, and Lily has the spot next to the couch all to herself.
Good luck with the eye.

Funny how dogs have their "spots" to lie down. Since I've gone from 4 dogs down to one - each one has successively taken up the top spot on the carpet by the kitchen where they can see what is going on and be close enough to get the treats that sometimes come their way (or accidentally fall on the floor!). Now it is Wolfie's spot. The only time it was his spot before was if he was the only one in the house!
I keep thinking about last Thanksgiving, when my poor Baxter was sick, he died Dec. 1st. Can't believe he's been gone a whole year.
Life somehow seems to go on.
*Good luck with the eye, Richard, you're in my prayers.

Every time someone talks about dogs' "spots", I remember fondly my "Heart" dogs, Max and Willow. Max was always in charge, but he was a "benevolent dictator": as long as Willow acknowledged his authority (which Willow at least pretended to do), he was able to let her get some "privileges".
When I had the RV parked, the favorite spot of both Max and Willow was under the dinette (Dash sometimes likes to sleep there now, but Lily would rather take the couch or bed if either is available). Max would usually let Willow lay there if he didn't already have it. One day, though, she was coming out from under the table, and Max didn't think she was moving fast enough, so he made his move when she was halfway, effectively pushing her the rest of the way out (he outweighed her 2 to 1). Sometimes, they would both lay in the area behind the cockpit, and Willow would lay her head on Max, or place her leg on his. Max never seemed to mind, and I used to refer to him as "Willow's pillow".
It is raining here in the Deep South this morning and the temperature is in the upper 60's. The fur gang has taken their spots in the house waiting to see if we go for a walk. I doubt if there will be any walking this morning unless the rain clouds go away, which is not likely.
I was just reminded that I have a doctor's appointment at 9:am, have to go.
Good Morning, It is 52 here in the "deep North" and gray looking. Lori and I are getting together with some of the camping buddies for lunch as my last hoorah as I am going into the hospital tomorrow morning for a hip replacement.
Richard, Good luck with the doctors appointment this morning.
You were talking about your dogs pecking order. Sarah lays close to me while I am on the computer and Anna lays out farther so she can see down the hall as to what is going on and also keep an eye in this room. While watching TV Sarah is either behind Lori's chair, on the couch or in Lori's lap. She thinks she is a lap dog. Anna is either on the couch or on the floor snuggled. They sure get along great.
Hope everyone had a great day. I need to go out and feed the horses.

By now Dan Branson is in the hospital facing hip replacement surgery, Sue and I wish him well and pray that it is a success. It is still raining here this morning, but it is warm. The fur babies are all safe and dry with full tummies. The eye continues to heal with the irritation from the stitches becoming less and less.
I am a country music fan and this morning there was a clip of George Jones singing, “He Stopped Loving Her Today.” It reminded me of my short career at Nashville with GRT Records. I got to meet some of the great recording artist of the day and rub elbows with them. I was managing a group from Utah with a guy named John Bateman as the lead singer who sounded a lot like John Denver with a strong talented voice. That was thirty four years ago, but time flies when you are having fun.
Okay, I have to go for now so Mama and the gang can get in their walk if the rain allows.
Prayers from Texas for Dan, I am sure all will go well and them maybe he can have Sarahs hip fixed
Hope you get the stitches out soon, and your eye will be great
