Mornibg all. Been up since 6 a.m. Molly knows her medication schedule and won’t let me forget it. Course getting her pills and drops in Milk Bone pill pickets and thin sliced roast beef is a good incentive to wake mom up She will remind me again when it’s time for the evening ones. Still overcoming the time change a bit there though. She’s ready before it’s time.
Haven’t been doing a whole lot this week. Pretty much same old. Just the usual errands in town, researching new leaf blowers, working on the final Christmas craft projects, took Molly over to the other vet for checkup. He gave her a good chiropractic treatment, thermal maging and some therapeutic laser treatment in her front paws and sent us home with refills of herbal medications. We will go back next month sgain. But she’s do great with the chiropractic treatments etc. Acting like a dog younger than she is. Uveitis in her eyes is about the same though, but doesn’t seem to be causing her any problems other than I don’t think she is seeing much in her left eye. Am continuing the twice daily drops.
Yard work done for Winter, driveway markers in place. So now I can just putter outside if I want. Weather has been chilly and damp, was really windy yesterday, might see mix of rain/snow today, but long range range looking at very mild temps for next week and nice weather too. So O’Sharon, looks like I can send you some nice weather after this weekend. Also looks like we aren’t going to see any snow till December at earliest. Deer hunters won’t be happy as they like a little tracking snow and colder weather. Firearms season opens Wednesday. Some ski resorts try to open for Thanksgiving weekend by making artificial snow, but don’t think that’s gonna happen.
Barbie, sorry about Lily. BJ, hope Pippa did great at the groomers. Beth, sorry about the trailer, but it wasn’t meant to be. The right one is out there. Karen, that’s a pretty area where you are. Lynn, nice to see you posting and getting out again. Judy, glad you are feeling better. Anita, sorry about your brothers latest results.
Tine to think about getting this day going. Heading to town later as need some items from the store and want to look at a battery leaf blower for cleaning my drive, walks and deck. They aren’t good for big jobs because the batteries run down too fast, so where the gas ones take over. But I don’t need a gas one right now, time to put them away for most part, although I could clear the Assoc. Pathway again. . I have batteries her for my Ryobi tools and can use them on a blower as well. So we shall see.
Sad day on the Great Lakes today. This is the 48th anniversary of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald. They always hold a Memorial Service at the Great Lakes Maritime Museum at Whitefish Point and with the passing of Gordon Lightfoot who wrote the Ballad of the Edmund Fitzgerald, he will be ot be there to sing it as he has done all these years. P,us, Mrs, Lee A. Trgurtha, wife of Paul R. Trugurtha, Vice Chairman of Interlake Steamship Company has passed away this week as well. All of their boats on the Great Lakes are flying their flags at half staff in her honor. One of them is also named after her. . The Lee A. Trugurtha will be entering the Soo locks shortly on her way to Marquette to load taconite pellets. Her husband Paul and son Mark, also have boas named after them. The Mariners sailing the lakes today will think of the Fitzgerald, but will not dwell on it too much. Thry say those that brings bad luck in Marine lore.
