Poor old puppy . . .

Holy smokes!

Went to play cards with ma cousine S. before the snow hit us again this morning. Felt really heart sick for her and even for myself because her Samoyed, who was at least 10 years old, died yesterday as she was trying to bring her to the Vet's. She knew that poor old puppy was sick last January and was fortunate that with her care old dog lasted for more than a year.  Along with all of the medicines and great care, S. took  in a rescue Samoyed puppy and he put some life into the old girl.  The new puppy is about a year old and although frisky was really good with me in the house today.  S. was not able to have both dogs in the house when we played cards because the young guy would go bonkers. Today he was as good as gold.  I had to keep myself from petting him and getting him revved up.  It worked.  He just sat next to us or lay at our feet.  Nice new puppy. S. is sure that he understands what happened to the old girl who used to nip him and keep him in line.  Now he is king of the roost!

Amazing weather around Moosup and that's all I'll say about that subject.  Kiddo called and left me two messages yesterday because he was bored (no school) and he wanted me to came and play!  So, of course after P&D's Pop and I returned from Hog Heaven in Sturbridge and lunch at Java Jive I went to Groton to play!  We had a good time, me watching him sliding down the back hill and he eating all the snow on the way down!  We played board games, card games, indoor soccer, had supper at McD's and dessert at Dairy Queen.  Excellent. Back to the rehab grind tomorrow.  The APRN I go to for primary care called today with the results of all sorts of blood tests from a couple of weeks ago.  I'm good to go!  Yay! and Yay! again. Expecting to go get younger sister Thursday. She will come here for lunch before I bring her to younger brother's home in Preston where she'll visit for a few days.
