@Aalley5, did you enjoy the day?1 -
What a cute puppy 😍
The rain is torrential at the moment. I had thought of trying a short walk to the pharmacy and back but my husband went to collect my prescription for me, before it started raining thankfully, I'll just walk around the flat because I'm really not up for playing in puddles like Pooh & Piglet 🌧️

@BodyTalking , Glad your H got the prescription. I often walk around in my unit. Its a very teeny one, but hehehehe it has the best view which is why I wanted it. I had visited a neighbor in the high rise I live in, and WOW!! I wanted this! When it came up WOOHOO!!! But, yes teeny teeny. Do you find walking inside (you probably have a lot more room) your calves look AMAZING? I weigh 180 and mine look SO GOOD!! Now for the rest of me to catch up!! That video is funny!! TY TY TY!
@Patti241 today mine went AMAZING!! One small glitch, and it worries me, but yet, it was amazing day also! Any plans this weekend? Tomorrow is the BBQ I organized.
@Aalley5, good advice there and from my post to @Patti241 its the way life 99% of the time. LOVE the days that are smooth and enjoyable!! Glad yours was good and WOOHOO on the exercise! WTG!!

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well. Oh man is this puppy keeping me busy. She is a littler feral. She did not have a lot of human interaction I don't think. She suffers pretty bad with pack mentality. So any time we try to take something from her she tries to attack us, or she will attack another dog if they get too close to her food. I did call a trainer and she gave us some suggestions. So we are working on it and it is going a bit better. She still likes to bite us a lot and I bruise easy so I have a lot of bruises on my arms and scratches from sharp puppy claws and teeth. We have a vet appointment today and I am going to ask about what we should do about that. We pulled out the pool for the puppy and she absolutely loves it. Being she is a English Golden Retriever she loves water. So we filled the pool like 4 inches deep and she runs around in circles biting at the water and growling having a ball. Then comes inside and falls asleep for a while. Gives us a little bit of free time. Here are some more pictures of her. We have named her Chloe.
The last photo is after her first bath because she laid in the mud. That was the first photo.
@aalley5 - Oh she is definitely defiant. She totally likes to chew on us rather than toys. I bruise easy so I have a lot of bruises.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - We have named her Chloe. She is a handful. I can guarantee you are not missing out on the Kitty phase anymore. I have a howler as well. He is part Maine Coon and he howls when he wants attention.
@BodyTalking - I would definitely stay out of puddles. Those can ruin your shoes. That was nice of your hubby to grab your meds before it started raining.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Saturday.
Tabatha

Lol, @Dianedoessmiles1 😂 I need to get a full length mirror to admire my calves. Funnily enough, that part of my body, and ankles, have always been slim and look good. My flat is just 50 sq metres, so not a lot of space, nor a good view, just another building, although, if I sit right against the window, I can see part of a tree lined square at the end of the street. No direct sunshine either, which is tough. Sunshine and a nice view can make a huge difference.0

@Tabatha_Cain Gosh, what a bundle of mischievous fun Chloe is 🤗1

HI @Patti241 Hope you had a good day?
@Tabatha_Cain Awww Chloe is ADOGABLE!! Aww precious!!! Once she realizes you are both the pack leaders she'll follow suite. SO HAPPY you've talked to a trainer, the local animal shelter is happy to help also, and for a relatively small fee most have training classes. Awww she's so CUTE!! LOL I DO NOT really miss the kitten stage, and YET I DO!! He's so funny though!!
@Bodytalking, I was talking to a friend who lives in CA. Today she was with a larger crowd from the Chico area, she was saying how tired she is. They reminded her she's very fortunate in that she can go home and sleep in her own bed. Something most of us do not even think about. Chico is where the Park Fire has burnt many homes (outer area) including a few she met today. They have no home to go home too. Its a reminder to me, how fortunate we are. And I KNOW you are also. I FINALLY just wore out Oscar!!
@Aalley5, LOVE THAT!! So true!!
Today we had the BBQ (4 of us showed only 1 couldn't). If you are at all familiar with road races in Cape Elizabeth is the Beach to Beacon which ends at For Williams. WELL that's where we planned on going (Grill use, gorgeous ocean view) and hehehehe forgot until today about the race!! It's a 10 K race with so many racers its just a sea of heads and feet!! They started an hour late (was supposed to end with a ceremony at 11) but it didn't til 12. We got there at 12:15 thankfully the area we headed for (our favorite!) there was NO ONE there and even a few places to park!! WOOHOO we had a great time and didn't leave until after 3!! The food was so good, the company even better!! Tomorrow I am FOOLISHLY having 3 people over in the early afternoon!! YIKES!! LOLOL I am looking forward to things being quiet and calm on Friday!1 -
Airport delays today, lots of rain and wind. A lot of tornado warnings. Hopefully, nothing too serious.
@macrat12 - Happy International Friendship Day!!!! This is great to know! Love your posts!
@Dianedoessmiles1 - The get together sounds fun! It's great you had a good time. The race sounds awesome to watch.

Good evening Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Sunday evening and well we are packing to head out tomorrow sometime. I have to do laundry and it is going to be a rough day I think. I am not sure when we are going to get everything done. I needed to get laundry done and now I am too late to get it done. My washer is still broke and I have not received any of the money to replace it yet. It would be nice to get the money.
@BodyTalking - Wow I cannot believe you have no view. I would hate that. I love being able to look at my backyard. I can see all the squirrels. Oh Yes, Chloe is definitely a bundle of trouble. No doubt about it.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - We have talked to a trainer and are signing her up for a 6 weeks class, and if that does not work than we will than enroll her in a 2 week program where she would stay the week at the doggy hotel and they would train her and she would come home on the weekend. That is awesome that you were able to get your favorite place and a good parking spot.
@aalley5 - I hope you are safe. Airport delays don't sound fun.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Evening.
Tabatha1 -
@aalley5 , are you okay? Scary with tornado warnings. It was fun yesterday and today I had friends over for lunch. B4 the pangdangitall I never cooked and if I everyone ran. Lololol there's a reason why. Ewww. But during the pangdangitall we were all isolated. I only hung around one friend in person. I'm a huge people person. During that time I started to watch cooking videos. Now? People take 2nds who normally won't. Lololol. Today they kept going on and on about the cole slaw and the BBQ beef I made (Angus beef, threw it in the crockpot with a ton of bbq sauce and spices). I'm lazy I used the food processor to get it 'shredded' into tiny bits. It really is fabulous! I love cooking now.
@Patti241, WooHoo!
@Bodytalking , oh me too! Amazing how take the tiny things for granted. Do you find being grateful helps you in the long term?
@Kurtize, To you also. Every day is a clean slate. Thankfully!
@Tabatha_Cain, Did you get laundry done? I like the laundry mat for doing my blankets. I get them ALL Done at once!! WOOHOO that's nice, but I'd rather do them that home if I had a washer/dryer. But here when they built it, there are 6 floors there are 2 of washers dyers on the 2nd floor and 1 of each on the 4th and 6th also.
ENJOY THE TRIP Tabatha!!! Awww Chloe will be worth the training. LOL She's soooo cute!!!

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Monday and we are going to get laundry done today. I needed a break yesterday. I was worn out. So we will do laundry this morning as soon as the laundrymat opens and then we will finish packing and then head out. There are some things we want to do at the hotel.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I am getting laundry done today. That was my choice. I needed a break. My body was hurting so bad. We went shopping with my mother to help her carry heavy stuff and my body was really sore. So I needed a break. Chloe is definitely worth the training. I think she will be a really good dog once we get the training going. I really do.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Monday.

Diane: Yup.1

@Dianedoessmiles1 "Do you find being grateful helps you in the long term?"
Honestly? No.
I can see a very realistic dire future for myself. Consoling myself with being grateful for what I do have is not going to bring about long-term hope.
Anyway, until those days come, I have to plod on, day by day, finding happy moments.
@Tabatha_Cain Our washing machine also stopped working months ago, lol, so we're washing clothes in the bath until we can get a new one. It's not ideal but you get used to it. I hope you get the money for a replacement soon.

I made up a new drink recently and I've been drinking a glass of it every day. It really gives me a nice boost and should be fairly healthy. I recommend everyone try it: tonic water, turmeric, cayenne pepper, mango and ginger-shot (a drink sold in shops here but an infusion of ginger and lemon should be similar).
Turmeric is supposed to be good for inflammation and arthritic pain.

today's affirmation
I choose to live a life of gratitude and joy, inspiring others to follow my example.

We had a lot of rain! 9 inches is our guess. Glad it has moved on but sounds like a rainy week!
Hope you have a great get away @Tabatha_Cain!1 -
@Tabatha_Cain, I needed a break also today. I took it very easy also.
@Patti241 YEAH!
@Bodytalking , I find being grateful helps my mental health which helps me to deal with my physical and mental health. UGH on the washing of the clothing by hand, yet, we've done that for an eon of time. Glad you found something that helps you with the pain!! WTG!!
@Kurtize how did the surgery go for you today? Been thinking of ya!
@Aalley5, WOW 9" inches of the rain!! Are you okay?
Busy and yet not busy day. Most of it was on the phone which is good, by body said "HEY!! You ran around A LOT over the weekend, WATCH THIS!!"1 -
@Tabatha_Cain, your puppy is too adorable for words! And, I feel your pain, bother figuratively AND literally. Our Luka (purebred Golden Retriever) just turned 5 and he was a MONSTER from day one. High value resource guarding and a real bully with me. It has been a long road and we've done lots of training, behavioral therapists and finally started him on Prozac (which definitely takes his intensity down about 50% ). We have learned his limits with other dogs (serious leash aggression) and now we love him so so much. He is so smart, brings us the paper every day, brings us our shoes, "talks" to us. He loves his being scratched and rubbed (but NEVER brushed with anything but bare hands).
We had accepted him as perfectly imperfect and love him, flaws and all!

@Dianedoessmiles1 they eye surgery went well yesterday. The only thing was my eye felt scratchy like something in it. It lasted most of day and semi stopped by nightfall. But today, feels good. Thank you for asking.
Hope you all have a great day.
