Good Morning friends! It is hot here. I wanted to thank you for such kind, caring comments, emails and prayers. Mabel continues to make tiny, little improvements. She can take 5 or 6 steps at a time. She still needs support to go to the bathroom outside, but no more having to go on towels inside. She is acting more like "our girl". She barks at the mail lady, wags her tail, chews her bones and "speaks" for treats. I have begun decreasing her steroid. The doctor is making no promises. He feels she will recover from this, but not walk "normal". Picture a sway to the hind quarters. We are just taking it day by day. We are grateful to God for each day with her. We know she could become paralyzed at anytime in the future. We pray that is not for a very, very long time. If ever.
Wet dog got a bath.
Dry and fluffy dog got his first haircut from me. It turned out pretty good, I guess. I need to look into buying a longer blade or comb. I would like to keep a bit more length on him for a fluffier look. He is hard to clip. He is all bones!
These dwarf chocolate irises smell just like milk chocolate. ♥
The garden is as done as it is going to be for the party really. I may pull a few more weeds today. So glad the flowers are blooming.
These two pictures of Mabel and Henry were taken a few days ago(before his haircut) in the garden.
Well off to finally finish up that linen curtain for the bathroom. I wanted to embroider a poodle motif along the top. No time before the graduation party to get that done. I will unsew it after the party, so I can embroider it with a nice vintage poodle. ;)
Lots of little things to be done. Lots of cleaning to do. Bring on the percocet! Oh, which reminds me. I did have that second test shot. It was very painful to receive. It has given me lingering pain. Counting down the days (which would be 12 now) until I receive the radio frequency nerve ablation. I am soooo praying for pain relief. Feel free to join me in that!
Have a fantastic day my friends. Thank you for stopping by. Thank you for your comments too!
Running around like a chicken with my head cut off and praying,
Vickie

My mother tell me that i cannot immagine how seewt are this little creatures. But for me is enough to see them for feel a "bump" in my heart. Lovely pictures, i love the tiny lillac pansies and those wonderful irises, so lucky, we had a short spring here in Italy and so much rain time. Happy to read every day something about the "princess" Hug for all you. ^_^
I mean "sweet", pardon me, hihihi!
The flowers in the garden are beautiful and I wish I could smell the chocolate irises. Mabel and Henry are such cuties.
I'm so glad Mabel is slowly improving. Continued prayers being said for her. Love Henry's new haircut! Adorable! Prayers also for your nerve ablation treatment. I hope it provides much relief!
Hang in there and delegate to your kids. I truly could not be ready for our party on Saturday if my kids didn't pitch in.
God's grace to you!

You are still in my prayers , enjoy the party.
Hoping in twelve days, you will be pain free, and Mabel will be better as well. Chocolate smelling flowers? Love the look of them but would be tempted to eat them!

Henry is adorable! Love the haircut you gave him! Our girl just had her haircut, too, and she looks adorable! We took her to a different groomer and we like the look so much better. More poodily (that is a word, right? lol) I admire that you can do it yourself! I would love to be able to do that.
Many blessings - Julie

That is good to hear that Mabel is improving, Vickie... I'm sure she won't mind her "different" walk as long as she can get around relatively pain free.
Henry is so adorable--looks mighty handsome with that new haircut :)
Good luck with all your plans for the graduation party--I remember what a busy time of year this is when you have a graduating senior!
I'm so happy to hear Mabel is improving, it may only be a little bit but thank goodness it's a little bit in the right direction.
