This evening we went to Orlando. The hubster's Grandfather has been in the hospital for the past week for pneumonia, so we took a drive out there to go pay him a visit. I am not too fond of hospitals so I wasn't thrilled, but we were glad we got to see him. Oh yeah, did i forgot to mention that, during that visit, his Mom was sent to the emergency room to be treated for her back problem? She really should be at home in bed resting for the bulged disks and arthritis, but she wanted to be there for her Dad and you can't blame her really. They are both ok so far, thankfully.
Today was bath day for Luke..... Uh oh! He really does not like showers, but today was a day of progress. He usually resists and whimpers when we pour water over him, but today he resisted less and actually stood in the tub, allowing us to scrub the shampoo and pour water to rinse him off. It really felt great to see an improvement in this space!
Luke is currently suffering from demodex (a form of mange). We have the challenge of using a syringe to squirt the medication into his mouth. The issue is that the taste is not quite appealing to any dog so it's been VERY challenging. He ALWAYS spits all of it back out. Today we have finally figured out a way to trick him into taking it. I filled one of his biscuit treats with it and covered it with peanut butter..... He inhaled that thing.... THANK GOODNESS!
Danny and I agree that we can't picture our lives without Luke anymore. He has been embedded into our daily lives and we are enjoying every minute of it.
Today's Inspirations
Connection is why we're here. We are hardwired to connect with others, It's what gives purpose and meaning to our lives, and without it there is suffering. ~ Brene Brown
No relationship is all sunshine, but tow people can share one umbrella and survive the storm together. ~ Unknown
P.S. I started reading "Daring Greatly" By Brene Brown; hence, my chosen quote today =)
