Hope

Sometimes it just feels good to go to bed with your favorite blanket and hope you wake up feeling better.

Saturday in Buenos Aires

It is Saturday, much like any Saturday in the World.. or at least those parts of the world that I have been in.

You stay up later on Friday night because you know you don't have to get up early.

No appointments, nowhere you have to be.. then you wake up earlier than you need to.

Pup slept like a baby , it was a good nights sleep for all.

The sun is shining after a nights rain, which was good, it was a bit too dry here and dusty.

The fall flowers are watered now, the parks are shining again.

The skies here are amazing, all the time... either solid pure blue or with interesting clouds scudding by .. or the huge clouds that build and look solid and make me wish I could walk up there just to see how it would be ~

The noise in the streets is just a tiny bit less, some of those people are relaxing at home, shopping, enjoying themselves and not sitting at the light honking.

And some of them are out in the countryside, at a campo, relaxing, from all that honking they had to do to get out of town.

We walked with Pup to the vet and got his pain medicine and his vitamins.

Monday he will go for a echocardiogram.

After many kisses from the vet, we walked home, slowly, allowing for any and all sniffing and looking around.

He is now napping .. not far from the new toy and chewy that someone might decide to steal from him .. who would touch that soggy, gooey rawhide chewy is beyond me ! No one in this house, that is for sure !

While he naps, I am thinking a walk around the neighborhood , picking up gardening items and doing some dinner planning might be good ..

And of course, looking in the shop windows. Can't forget dessert !

And then there is the long distance birthday shopping that we are doing for loved ones in the US.
A busy day is shaping up !

Good and Bad

So, someone will ask, how was your day ?
And the answer has to be ... well, it was Good .... and Bad.

Yesterday we took a walk with Pup.

Pup got too tired, it is my fault, I could kick myself every time I think of it .
We were walking home and went up a huge staircase, I should have gone around, it was my fault, I knew better.
Halfway up, his legs buckled , he coughed, he fell down.

He had trouble getting back up. It was my fault.

We walked home, slowly, he wobbled but he made it.

But he was panting hard and ill and I kept hoping he would rest and recover. He didn't.

He did not sleep all night, he lay on his little bed, panting hard and trying to get comfortable.

I stayed up with him. We both might have slept sometime around 4 am to 7 am ..

We got to watch the Royal Wedding.
I sent an email last night to the vet.
She called this morning and said she would be here at 12:30. She was.
She sat on the floor with him, kissing him, calling him Mi Amor and feeling all his sore bones and kissing him.
He got a shot of pain killer and went to take a nap.
I had to go to the hospital to get the final verdict from the surgeon about my leg.

After showing my leg to about half a dozen handsome young doctors and interns,.. kissing me, kissing each other, looking at my leg .. the surgeon came in and said that it was Clear, go home, the scar will disappear by next summer.

This time I kissed the doctor.

Pup was perky when we got home ! He was waiting at the door !

We walked ... slowly to the park and back.

He ate dinner ... mostly because someone was hand feeding him but he ate and now he is on his bed in the living room watching International Househunters.. he loves that show.

Tomorrow we are getting him some medicines for In Case This Happens Again.
His walks will all be short and no stairs.

So we watched the Wedding .. I loved it.

I loved everything about it.

I like to think she will grow to be this beautiful woman with that great face and beautiful smile with at least 3 or 4 children and that he will be King and they will live happily ever after..

and so will Pup..

Tired

We took a long walk today. Rather longer than I meant it to be.
The stop in the cafe might have helped but the big flight of stairs in the park did him in.
Hopefully with rest, tomorrow he will be his frisky self... I will settle for his old smiley self.

Maybe watching the Royal Wedding will make him feel better.
More tomorrow ~

Some days are more fun than others ....

So, somebody had a good time today. Around and around and around .. Then time to walk home and have dinner and rest from all the fun.

Another busy day in Buenos Aires.

The two humans did enjoy a walk through the parks, to the cafe, enjoying a snack while people watching... then walking back through the parks with Pup .. (just to the right of Pup, there was a movie being filmed .. I think he was a bit miffed no one asked him to be in it.. )
