My life has been pretty hectic the past few weeks, I was having ALOT of breathing problems and ended up going to the doctor, He informed me I had bronchitis and gave me a ton of meds to take, Then I had to make an emergency visit to the vets office with one of the dogs. I have no idea what happened to Sammie, the best guess I can come up with is that he got a thorn puncture in his front leg, right on his "elbow". Anyway it swelled up the size of a basball & that same night at 1am it opened up so I was in the bathroom with the dog for over an hour draining this thing and putting warm, damp heat packs on his leg. The first thing the next morning I took him to the vet which is 30 miles one way, He doesn't like riding, and so the ride by itself was "alot of fun". Then at the vets office he caused alot of commotion, had every dog in the place barking and everyone was talking about him and of then course there was Thanksgiving and people invited to our house and I was the one doing most of the cooking myself (now I remember why I always try to plan for us to go to someone elses house LOL)....Anyway I think things are starting to get back to normal now and I can breath alittle better now. It has either been raining or windy (20-40 mph winds) for the past few weeks can't get outside to do anything, and still no seed catalogs in my mailbox. We had a tornado go through our area last night and our electric was out for almost 2 hours, but we didn't have any damage thankfully.

Well, THAT is good!
This time of year stresses me out BIGTIME. ...even if nothing eventful happens like you've had!

I made a huge meal on Thanksgiving but didn't invite ANYONE! ...Freckles ended up eating like a king for several days, though. I learned my lesson last year about cooking for people...and I'm not doing it again. They can call me Scrooge if they want to, but afgrey will NOT be a hostess to a bunch of ungrateful people like I had here last Christmas. (Andy's kids...) I'm glad I don't have to even worry about it now.
So, how is Sammie now?
We are getting those winds now...that same system that you had last night. It is really starting to freak me out. I got Lola's travel cage out of the closet in case we need to hit the basement later. I need to go to the post office and get my seed swap stuff in the mail, but I really don't want to get out in this weather. It's not really so much the getting out as much as leaving Lola here by herself. I'd hate to come home and the roof be gone...along with Lola.

Sammie is doing fine now...I have had to give these huge antibiotic capsule 3 times a day, he is easy to pop a pile down his throat, that is if you don't mind your hand being slimmed all the way up to your wrist. The vet lanced his leg to open it up more and he was soooo good..LOL Well good for him that is. My bronchitis is not gone, but at least the wheezing part is under control..it is bad when your own wheezing keeps you awake at night. As long as this wind keeps up....I doubt my bronchitis goes away completely, It could be spring before it is gone. I had that happen a couple of years ago, where I had it for almost 6 months. I don't feel bad..just short of breath if I have to do much walking or work.
