settling in to our new home

Their new dog groomer took this photo.

Our neighborhood, Myrtle Trace, has several lakes and we are learning how to fish.

Buzzard & Bunny

Hope your day is filled with special treats

From Scottie groups on FaceBook,

Bunny looks just like that but

I've never gotten a good photo of her.

I am so fortunate,

I have almost fully recovered from Bell's Palsy.

 Bell's Palsy
Been three weeks now.
While I improved a little,
the left side of my face is still paralyzed
and my mouth is still  contorted to the right.
Still taking prednisone.
MRI scheduled in Hickory for 9/7/18.
The rear of my head on the left side
aches quite a bit especially at night.  

 

I certainly enjoy my buddies.

been practicing with camera

a few pics & Bell's Palsy

 

Well, as we get older,

life really likes to throw stuff at ya.

At the moment,

I have Bell's Palsy.

From what I have read,

I will likely make a full recovery,

although my doctor just seems

concerned. I am a 62 yr old diabetic.

I am on Day # 10

and 2nd week off large doses

of Prednisone.  The left side of my

face is paralyzed, no changes yet but

each time I wake up I try to form a whistle.

I am thankful for drinking straws,

so I can get fluids in me.

However, water tastes very metallic so

I add in some grape-flavored electrolytes.

While I would like to get over this,

there are many diagnoses that could be much

worse than Bell's Palsy so I am grateful

that I am vertical, able to eat, enjoy
my animals, etc.

Bunny and Buzzard

After losing Bitzi,
Bunny has turned out to be
such a joy in our lives.
although we've always loved terriers,
first time having a Scottie,
she is smart, obedient, easy to train,
an easy keeper.

Now, is she a fiery terrier?
Absolutely!

Buzzard has a big coat
but last time he was at the groomer
she had to shave him because
Bunny constantly chews on him
and it matts his hair.

Buzzard is tied up at the barn
because he likes to chase
