Well…I just noticed that I put in the wrong photo for the St. Charles Church, Vienna, Austria.
The photo I included is for the Arc du Cinquantenaire Arcade, Brussels, Belgium.
The following is the church…

You’re welcome, weather! Double and triple checking the links is always a must. At least I’m not at the Brandon level of mental confusion…I don’t think…LOL!
The entire area around the church is so peaceful and the church itself is beautiful architecture. I’d love to see it in person.

It’s National Babe Ruth Day. And National Gummi Bear Day. Who knew we needed either of these? Oh, and National Prime Rib Day —- that one sounds like a good idea.

Good day, czarina! Babe loved to eat; so I’m sure he’d be happy to try Gummi Bears. Prime rib would have been on his menu any day, of course.

As a kid, I adored all the retired Yankees, especially Lou Gehrig. My cousin had allowed me to read his copy of “The Pride of the Yankees” about Gehrig and from then on I was a Yankee fan. I begged him to give me the bio, but no go. I wonder if he still has it.
Lou and the Babe…

Thinkin’ of the boy this morning, Stella – hope he’s feeling better and healing at dog-warp speed!
I’ve probably mentioned it before, but I knew of a dog that swallowed most of a container of Gorilla Glue once…incredibly, he survived after stomach surgery.
Was it a tumor?
Dog bless! 🙏

I just called the Animal Emergency Center, where Tucker is recovering. The report is that he is eating and doing well. We hope that he can come home to recuperate this evening, but I will know more this afternoon. The obstruction in his intestine was a piece of a rope toy that he swallowed. No more rope toys!

Mornin’ All. It is 48* and bright and sunny out. There are teeny little clouds floating around in a blue blue sky, And, the grass is turning green.
Stella, I hope Tucker did well through the night. I bet he will soon feel much better than he has been. It is too bad they can’t tell you what is wrong. And, I hope you were able to sleep.
Have a nice day, All,

I know now what was wrong. He swallowed a section of rope toy that was lodged in his small intestine. They gave it to me, so I know that is true! He is recovering at the hospital, but I hope he will be home tonight. He is eating and doing well so far, they just told me.

Funny Wisdoms
1. When one door closes and another door opens, you are probably
in prison.
2. To me, “drink responsibly” means don’t spill it.
3. Age 60 might be the new 40, but 9:00 pm is the new midnight.
4. It’s the start of a brand new day, and I’m off like a herd of turtles.
5. The older I get, the earlier it gets late.
6. When I say, “The other day,” I could be referring to any time
between yesterday and 15 years ago.
7. I remember being able to get up without making sound effects.
8. I had my patience tested. I’m negative.
9. Remember, if you lose a sock in the dryer, it comes back as a
Tupperware lid that doesn’t fit any of your containers.
10. If you’re sitting in public and a stranger takes the seat next
to you, just stare straight ahead and say, “Did you bring the
money?”
11. When you ask me what I am doing today, and I say “nothing,” it
does not mean I am free. It means I am doing nothing.
12. I finally got eight hours of sleep. It took me three days, but
whatever.
13. I run like the winded.
14. I hate when a couple argues in public, and I missed the beginning
and don’t know whose side I’m on.
15. When someone asks what I did over the weekend, I squint and
ask, “Why, what did you hear?”
16. When you do squats, are your knees supposed to sound like a
goat chewing on an aluminum can stuffed with celery?
17. I don’t mean to interrupt people. I just randomly remember
things and get really excited.
18. When I ask for directions, please don’t use words like “east.”
19. Don’t bother walking a mile in my shoes. That would be boring.
Spend 30 seconds in my head. That’ll freak you right out.
20. Sometimes, someone unexpected comes into your life out of
nowhere, makes your heart race, and changes you forever. We
call those people cops.

Stella,
Quick treatment probably helped him. Did they have to remove as much intestine as the nurse said?
Here’s to a continued strong and speedy recovery.
LikeLiked by 3 people
They did remove a lot. The doc said when it was out and stretched, it was 3′ at least. She said that he should do well with what he has left; dogs can lose 80% (according to her) and do well. Have to watch him so he doesn’t do something like that again.

Since that cause him so much trouble, I wonder how my neighbor’s (back in the 70’s) ate a wool army blanket a little at a time and then she looked out one day and he couldn’t poop. She went out and took a newspaper to help pull it out of him. It was about a foot square piece of blanket. And, he survived it somehow.

Tucker has eaten paper that passed through. This was a round shaped object that blocked the small intestine.
ADD: Your neighbor’s dog was able to pass it through most of his colon into the rectum.

Tucker is home and napping on the couch next to me. He was really glad to see me, and is happy to be at home. I have a lot of nursing to do over the next several weeks, including getting up for the 6 am medication and staying awake for the midnight medication. He will be on a bland diet for the next few days, and several small meals instead of two larger ones. He has to keep the cone of shame on for a couple of weeks at least, which I hope he gets used to instead of running into walls and furniture!
