Good Saturday Morning,
It is our long weekend ….
We were up about 4:35 earlier this morning.
After Alvin had finished his glucosamine chew, his chicken and rice breakfast, outside we went.
The air was so fresh, no sounds except for the early songs of some unfamiliar birds.
So sweet and delicate.
The sky was beginning to lighten.
There was a peace about it all.
I could have closed my eyes and stood there until the end of time.
After Alvin had finished inside we went.
Hitting the sofa for some further zzz’s.
Because there is no where on this planet that I would be up to stay up at 4:30 on a Saturday.
Okay, perhaps one or two.
But not today.
We enjoyed that quiet time on the sofa as my mind raced to the finish line.
Finally dozing off.
Alvin always is the one that motivates me to get going.
This morning was no different.
So up we were to stay.
The once super bright sun filled skies are now filled with some clouds.
There is a bit of a breeze but still beautiful.
While we just stepped away outside as Alvin gave me the word and downstairs we went.
He is still having gas.
His vet appointment was mainly his usual nail trim, anal gland and ear check.
All good.
His bum was tender due to his recent bouts of diarrhea.
Now isn’t that the way to turn the beautiful description of a morning out the window.
Anyway on our way to the vet he stopped and of course, as always had to POO.
Good news it was no longer “D” and starting to be normal.
Funny how sometimes normal poop can be so exciting and such a relief.
Perhaps overly describing the bottom end happenings, may be too much.
Alvin’s Vet gave him (we purchased) some probiotics.
I am glad that she did as he continues to have gas and no bowel movement since we went to the vet yesterday afternoon.
I am going to continue to think good thoughts.
My plants in the back garden just got a nice watering while we were outside.
Also Humphrey will be spending the weekend with us.
So I shall go and pick him up soon.
Check on Cynder as well.
First couple of things around the house.
Start laundry and such.
Outside the day is beginning for most people as I hear trucks running and dogs barking and law mowers buzzing.
I will say one thing.
Looking out my bedroom and living room windows this morning to see a bare street was so uplifting.
No snow, no ice …. just bare, glorious grey pavement.
The trees are beginning to bud and some are even in leaf already.
YES, it is May 16, 2020.
Life is good.
Sometimes we all need to be reminded of that ….
Well time to get things done.
Have an awesome Saturday.
Enjoy some time outside.
We all need to feel the sun on our bodies and the breeze on our cheeks.
Happy Saturday.
With kindness and respect,
I/We remain,
As Always, Carol & Alvin
