Good Sunday Morning.
We are still in the throes of gas and diarrhea in our household.
Mr. Alvin was on the way to recovery or so I thought but that was not quite the case.
I guess I got my hopes up too soon.
Yesterday he did not poop one way or the other all day long.
Humphrey spent the day with us and I took him home last night before bed.
This morning we have been up and down since about 4:10 a.m.
After Alvin had an early morning chicken and rice breakfast – it was back to diarrhea again.
Not a lot but not the other direction.
He has been up and down but no bum action other than gas.
It is always amazes me as to how it startles him.
He can be sitting in his chair or laying down somewhere and all of a sudden I can smell “GAS” and he jumps.
Poor baby.
So not sure what today will bring.
Sounds like he may have to go outside.
I will be back.
Okay we are back.
Only had to pee.
That he does on a regular basis.
What a weekend this is turning out to be.
Interesting for sure.
Yesterday was quiet, putzed in the garden, did some laundry, did some free hand water colouring painting.
By free hand I mean did not follow any instructions.
I just wanted to see what I could do.
Giving me some ideas for future works.
In about one hour I will go and get Humphrey.
Clean out his litter box.
Fill his food dish.
Give him fresh water.
Then look after Cynder.
Giver her some fresh water and spray the leaves.
She is a gekko and has special food times.
I guess this weekend is all about poo.
How wonderful.
Will it be or won’t it be.
I guess we all have those times in our lives ….
Where poo is a big deal.
When children are little.
When they are big.
When we are older.
Unfortunately how our poop is whether we are human or a puppy, is huge.
It tells us whether we are in good health or not.
Whether we have a bug or not.
So much information that comes out of our bottom ends.
Well on that note, I shall go.
I have a few things to do before going to Humphrey’s house.
Likely in between there will be a few trips outside.
Please keep sending positive thoughts to our Mr. Alvin.
The poor boy.
When we were up at 4:10 a.m. the sky was already beginning to lighten.
There were a few stars in the clear early morning sky.
By the next time we were up, the sun was rising.
Followed by bright blue sky and sunshine.
Now there is a breeze and some clouds have rolled in.
This happened yesterday.
It was nice with the clouds from time to time as it gave some relief from the warmth.
No complaints about that …. clouds or warmth.
This is mid May and we are longing for the days of summer.
So close.
I hope that you are enjoying your weekend.
Keeping the social distancing.
Washing your hands often.
Being mindful of others and yourself.
It is only through taking precautions and being careful and listening to the health professionals that we will make it to the other side of this pandemic.
There will always be something that comes along but we have to listen.
I know that sometimes it may seen annoying and unrealistic but in the end it is necessary.
Take care, stay healthy.
With kindness and respect for all.
I/We Remain,
As Always, Carol & Alvin
