Good morning Aus. How is Foxy? My old gal has trouble getting up on the bed and couch now so I have ramps for her. Also I have hard wood floors and she is starting to flip and fall in her old age because she just isn’t as steady on her feet. I’m thinking of putting some call rugs down but I know from experience that the little dog will think they are pee pads and pee on them so they’ll need to just be tossed out soon and the pee will seep down to the hardwood and damage it. Buying new show rugs everyday isn’t an option.
Anyone have any ideas?
LikeLiked by 2 people
If you saw Foxy you wouldn’t know anything was wrong with her. She still bounces along on her walks, sometimes running. The problem is, she is hungry now and won’t eat. I have decided one of the meds she is on is making her sick and she throws up for hours after I give it to her. So, I had to stop it. I will see how she does today without it. She had developed an ulcer from one of the other meds and this was to help that. 🙄
I would buy rugs that can be washed that have a good, heavy rubber backing.

You know I just had a thought. Grinner (the faller) really doesn’t like walking on the pee pads. I wonder if I just put a bunch of them down if avoiding them would slow her down enough that she’d quit slipping and falling. I’d still have to try a throw rug by the front door for when I get home but I could pick that up when I got home and before I let the Iggy out.

I found this article about leaf lard, which I had never heard of.
https://www.thespruceeats.com/what-is-leaf-lard-2216904
Found this on Quora about suet.
Lard is any fat that is rendered from pigs. Leaf lard is a finer grade of fat, from the kidneys and loin of a pig. It has a high smoke point and is very soft at room temperature.
Suet, especially the suet called for in old recipes, is kidney fat from cows. Many modern butchers sell suet which contains fat from other parts of the animal as suet, but it doesn’t act the same way in recipes. Kidney suet is hard and crumbly, and is usually grated when added to recipes. It then melts as the product cooks, leaving behind air pockets which make the dough or pudding light and tender. using lard instead will make the pudding too dense. There is also a vegetable suet you can buy, made by Atora, which contains Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (47%), Wheat Flour, Sunflower Oil (16%), Stabiliser: Pectin.

Since I had my eye surgery, I’ve found more crap than I can handle! Cobwebs, pantry moths, dog hair and DUST! I’m looking for help.

Buy a set of inexpensive dark glasses and a good bottle of wine. All of that stuff will still be there long after you can’t appreciate the wine so why waste irreplaceable lifetime doing something you don’t like. The dust, et al, will wait until you savor the wine.

I bought a sign once (I gave it my mother) that said:
Creative women have cobwebs in their corners, but not in their minds.

Fantastic! I used to live in Ronan, an hour north of Missoula, and worked at the community hospital in Missoula before moving to Alaska 20 years ago. Missoula was a deep blue area in an otherwise red state. Will be interesting to see if more hecklers show up. I was worried he wouldn’t get the usual turnout, but Montanans are used to road trips and will happily drive 4-5 hours from the eastern side of the mountains. So great to have another rally to watch. And one tomorrow. And the next day. And Monday.

My mother had just the opposite feeling when she saw the desert, all gold and brown. It was a shock to one who had lived in green FL for so long.

Beautiful picture Stella. Not a lot of color here this year. And while most of our trees still have darker green leaves, it seems that many of the leaves just fall off over night with no change of color.

Ours get ratty looking on the edges, then brown up, then fall off when the wind blows hard. A few turn yellow then fall off. A few, like the persimmons, fall off after the fruit finishes, so they are already pretty bare. Amazingly, some leaves hold on all winter then get pushed off when the spring leaves emerge.

lilbirdee12’s prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.
Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.
Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and Mike Pence and their families as they seek to lead America back to You.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall.
Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
Thank you Father, for Your Love and the gift of Life.
In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.

Prayer for Justice Kavanaugh:

“After watching her husband rip into pro-death senators who used Dr. Christine Blasey Ford in attempts to derail the appointment of her husband to the U.S. Supreme Court, Ashley is asking all people of faith to unite in praying Psalm 40, which reads:”
“BE PLEASED, O LORD, TO DELIVER ME, LOOK DOWN, O LORD TO HELP ME. LET THEM BE CONFOUNDED AND ASHAMED TOGETHER, THAT SEEK AFTER MY SOUL TO TAKE IT AWAY. LET THEM BE TURNED BACKWARD AND BE ASHAMED THAT DESIRE EVILS TO ME.”
In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen

I will be so glad when election season is over. Although we all are getting to have a little fun with democrats lately. I think somebody sold them a bad list of cell phone numbers, outdated numbers anyways. I’ve had my number for a few years, but still on occasion get calls for Dr. Appointments, etc. for the person who had the number before. My DH is the same except for him it’s the occasional bill collector for the previous owner of the number. Democrats are calling wanting us to vote X candidate, so far for me anyway each candidate is a teacher in a district that is nowhere near me. They are so sure they can count on my loyal Democrat vote until I bust their bubble.
The funniest though was this evening, we were all sitting around playing board games with our little man and my SIL gets a text. He starts laughing and says he usually hates all the calls for Scott who apparently has a bad drug habit and now he knows he’s obviously a democrat because the message is telling him that democrats need all registered democrats like him to vote for U.S. congressional representative. He starts having fun and when he’s asked what his biggest issue is he writes, “Draining the Swamp!” So they send a text back about all the money this guy received for his town as mayor and all the good things he did with it. He texts back, “Bragging about getting federal money for pet projects is not exactly my idea of draining the swamp. What is he going to do about deporting illegals and building the wall?”
They take forever to respond back and then text, “thank you for your time.”
He texts back, “I take it he doesn’t want to deport illegals or build the wall? How can you expect to count on my loyal vote if he can’t be loyal to our country?”
They finally text back, “I think we had the wrong person, we’re sorry to bother you.”
He texts back, “You’re not bothering me. I would honestly like to know how he plans on draining the swamp and if he’s willing to give our President the money to build the wall and hire more agents to deport all the illegals?”
He never got another text. lol
