Charlie-thank you i love them too💕 

OTB-back at ya!!! And thank you i love them too so much. They are great companionship in my unexpected retirement experiment! 

Sherrye-i know you are right. So funny im getting lazy about going back to work with trainer. I will do it but lazy is nice 

Jenjabba-thank you!!!!! 

Miss Annie-his name is sawyer and he is the biggest marshmallow love ever put on the planet 

Rc-im a work in progress on the scales. And thank you they are beautiful on the inside too! 

Buenita-thank you my friend 

Diana-i will post a before and after full shot when most of the swelling is gone. Will be 8 weeks tomorrow from surgery so probably a couple more months. Maybe Christmas? Did you ever figure out your password and check your private messages? Im concerned for you. Can’t wait till you get this procedure behind you and are well again. How’s the respiratory infection situation? 

Sly one-me too. I missed them so much while in California. Who knew? Ive always loved all my animals but guess I’ve become dependent in my old age (not THAT old tho). 

RPL-they really are the best. They make me walk faster than when i walk without them which is good for the old peach right? Im getting more open to using kettlebells when able (hubs has been trying to convince me for over a year) but watching you im inspired. 

Snowy-i went back a couple of years and read your journals. Life has not always been so kind to you but yet you persevere with kindness. If i had my way you would leave that situation but finances i understand. Your husband has isolated you much in the same way my ex b.f. did all those years ago. Isolate, foster dependence financially and that is a great recipe for inability to leave. I understand loving someone who is abusive because not all times are like that. I also understand that it seems there is an escalation of abuse and violence that most certainly wont end well. All i can offer is prayers for your safety. I left my abusive situation 38 years ago and was very afraid of him for years. He stalked me for years to the point i moved 3 times in one year trying to hide from him. I finally had my phone line in a friends name and my name didnt appear on a rental agreement and that did the trick. Funny thing. I saw him about ten years ago tho he didnt see me (at Starbucks of all things) and i still got a little trill of fear in my tummy when i saw him. I looked vastly different. Blonde not brunette, decades older, vastly more confident and yet told my mom to leave with me before he noticed us. Still afraid he may stalk me. After all this time. If you had the $$$ to leave i would be shouting from the rooftop for you to get away. As it is, do your very best to stay safe. Have an emergency exit always at the ready. Not a way to live but the goal is to live. God bless you snowy. Prayers always for your safety.

YOH, I am still in San Diego. Last cat scan today, the radioactive one..! Will be leaving early tomorrow for home and I will hopefully be able to see your and Katsolo's messages! I still have to meet with the cardiac thoracic surgeon but luckily he will do a phone consultation. Then they will schedule my surgery. 🩷 

Love your pictures. I've had several goldens, sweetest dogs. 

Diana hows the respiratory infection? So want this behind you (it’s like i am ACTUALLY your friend😂. Which I AM). XOXO 

SHIRFLEUR hes my first golden Ive mostly had collies, a sheltie and a rescued street dog that was huge. My first foray into goldens and i cannot believe how sweet he is. Such a love it makes my heart warm just typing this. Do you have a dog now? 

I didn't even know I had an infection! I feel fine but they are saying it's a carry over from 🩷 covid and my asthma. I do have allergies lately though. Might be something in San Diego... 

Yearofhealth, no, I haven't had a dog since I sold my house in 1987. Haven't found my way of life conducive to having a pet.
