I am going to show you a few pics of the pups from the past few days....
All tired out...
Gus cracks me up...he must play soooo very hard
Wilbur seems to sleep in sane positions...
He just wants a quiet place to rest.
But this one below of Gus,,,
It had me in tears from laughing so hard....then Sarah said he was Bubbie reincarnated. In the past year or two of Bubbies life, he slept with this head rammed into things...not quite this bad, but more on purpose.

I have did very little sewing this past week. The Christmas quilt is just as it was when I last posted. I do have fabric to make the binding. And cleared off my cutting table till I can cut it. It won't take long to make. I had had a lot of stuff out...looking through things. Trying to find that perfect fabric.
It is pouring the rain tonight..a bit of thunder but not real loud or anything. It rained last night, too. But there was big, loud thunder that shook the house a time or two.

I have a video to share...a feel good video. Going to attempt to embed it...
Lorelei sent these to me...they make me want to giggle.

I have been free motion quilting my Christmas quilt. That part is almost done, but I don't even have the binding made. Most of the time I make the binding at least before the quilting is done. A lot of the time I make it before I even start the quilting. The quilting could be better. But then it could be a lot worse, too. Hopefully I will have it finished in a week or two. It should have been done long ago.
Above Lorelei is holding Gus and below is Wilbur...they were going to call him Willem but Lorelei and Jeremy decided they like Wilbur better. Wilbur is the name the rescue place gave him.
They were made to be hugged.
They are just so cute
and loveable...
We did run over to meet/see them this weekend. Above, Gus is actually sleeping like that.
Above is their first night at home.

Thought I would post another happy post. Stitches came out Friday. You just would not believe how good my face looks compared to what it looked like right after the surgery.
I know it has been a long time since I posted....life finally feels like it is somewhat back on track. It did take a while. I will begin with Roger.
I am not sure what made his sugar get so low. Normally if he is sick, it is high. He did not feel like eating, did not joke around at all. His cardiologist/NP had increased two of his meds. The one was doubled, then doubled again. One for cholesterol. And the other was magnesium.
So I started playing with his insulin and oral meds for the diabetes, and got him to our NP in a few days. (I got him in as soon as I could but it was 4th of July weekend. They did call and talk to me...) She said I had done exactly right with the reduction in the oral medication and the insulin, and even reduced the insulin more. And when she saw the cholesterol meds, she was almost what you would call upset. Wanting to know why he was on so much. He is on two different pills. I told her it was from the cardiologists office.
She was going to have me eliminate one entirely, but I said how about cut back on the one. So she said fine. After doing that, in 24 hours he was some better. Still he was not himself. I gave it about 10 days or two weeks, and then cut it back to the original dose...that did the trick. He is back to joking and teasing and being hungry.

I had MOH's surgery Friday...the first time showed no more cancer. Hopefully it will not show up in that spot again. This last time was just about exactly in the same place the first one was in years ago. I am so thankful to God that there was no more.
I have tried to get up the nerve to post a pic but it might gross you out...it is not a good pic but it sure is not fun to look at. You look at it and say OUCH! And maybe even 'ooooh, gross!'

In the middle of this we had a major plumbing issue. It is too long to go into. Sarah came and got her day for a couple nights. We had the drain back up late one evening. I went to take the plug out of the sewage line to see if I could run the little snake and get anything to move. When I went to twist the plug, the whole line broke!
They fixed it in about an hour the next night... a couple of good, decent working guys. After dealing with the one company for all the hail damage a couple years ago, I am always so thankful for people that try to do a good job.
I am not sure when or if I will be blogging again...I have to get stitches out either in a week or so. Can go next Friday or else wait till Monday and I do dread it because the last stitch is so close to my eye.
I am going to put a video here below...one that I came across just a few days ago:
