Quick Sunday Update & Pics of Buddy

August 30, 2010 by Darlene

Hi everyone, it’s been a long week and I haven’t been around too much. I hope this week will be better. I just thought I’d pop in and update a little…

I have a few draws that I need to get done and I’ll get to those tomorrow. I should have winners posted tomorrow night.

This past few weeks has been crazy. One of my uncles had a major stroke and luckily made it through. He has lost most of the use of his right side but his memory is thankfully intact and he’s a stubborn one so he’s determined to walk and do as much as he can. On a sadder note, another of my uncles who has been in a nursing home now for years passed away. His funeral is next week so needless to say it hasn’t been a very happy time in our home.

To top things off poor little Buddy got sick again. He wasn’t feeling well at all and had me worried. He woke up at the beginning of the week just shaking. I wrapped him up and cuddled him but it didn’t help so I took him into the vet. I guess this can happen with his illness when he’s in pain or just not feeling well. He perked up the next day and started eating a bit again so that was good. It’s hard to watch him go up and down like that. When he’s feeling good so do I; when he’s not — neither do I. It just tears me up. Thankfully right now he’s feeling better and I pray he’ll stay that way for a longer while this time.

Last week I was lucky and had posts ready for the whole week but I’m not so lucky this week. I have nothing done and I have a review that I’m just writing up tonight. So I’m not sure if I’ll have something to post every day this week or not – we’ll see how the week goes. I hope to visit a bit but again I’ll have to see how things go. I sure miss visiting everyone and knowing what was going on in everyone’s lives.

I did manage to get a pic or two of Buddy from his bath time so here you all go…




I hope everyone has a great week!

    I'm so sorry to hear about your loss of one of your uncles, Dar! My thoughts are with you and his family. I hope another uncle of yours will recover quickly from the stroke.

    Poor Buddy! I hope he gets well soon. It saddens me too to hear he hasn't been feeling well.

    I am really so sorry, Dar. Loses are always reminder of how fickle this life really is.
    And I hope Buddy gets well too, he is so cute!

    So sorry to hear that this week was such a hard one for you Dar, and I am also sorry to hear that Buddy is ill again. You know, I have been wondering how you are doing, and have been praying. Hopefully things will be a bit better this week for you and your family. If you need anything, please let me know.

    I'm sorry to hear about both of your uncles Dar.
    I'm glad that the one is recovering from his stroke. Hope it goes quickly and smoothly for him.
    I'm sorry that Buddy had some rough days in there too. I'm sure sending prayers up for him too. He looks so adorable as always in his pics.

    yes, certainly sorry about both your uncles…
    and poor buddy. I must say, in that last picture, he looks like he is trying to tell us something…like "hey, get that camera outta my face!" lol

    Oh Dar, I'm so sorry for your loss and all you've been through. What a horrible week! I hope your uncle and Buddy feel better and you can have time to relax. As always, my thoughts are prayers are with you. *hugs*

    I'm so sorry about your loss Dar. It's been such a hard year for you. I'm glad your other uncle is pulling through, good for his determination!

    Poor Buddy. I'm glad he is feeling better now. I can totally relate to feeling good when he feels good and down when he feels down. We are both really attuned to our pets that way.

    He looks cute even wet!!

    Buddy is so photogenic & seems to really like having his picture taken that he doesn't look sick. I'm sorry he had a rough week the week before last week & had to go to the vet. I hope this past week was better…for both of you. I hope your uncle is doing better.
