Happy Thursday! Stewart offers a sock for a snack this morning. His face is still dirty from a roll in the muddy grass, but Golden fur is magic, and it will brush out as soon as it dries. We hope you have a great day. 🌄🙂

Good morning! Fusion recovery is going well, & I got a splint I'll be wearing for at least 10 weeks. Stewie brought me a box that fell off the table this morning, so he was rewarded for that. We hope you find something to smile about today. 🙂

There is an incision that runs from the middle finger, down the arm, to a few inches past the wrist. There are steri-strips all along the incision.

Good morning from Stewart and me! Morning ring check shows that my fingers are slowly returning to normal, but it's going to be a while. The bruising went up to my elbow, & I'm in the yellow stage now. 🤢 Stewart is his goofy self. 🐕‍🦺😊

Good morning! Today is my wrist fusion post-op. My poor green sausage fingers are finally starting to look more normal, but I won't be wearing my rings for a while. So ready to have my left hand back. Stewart says hello, too. 😉

Good morning! I had a wrist fusion a week ago, so haven't been online much. Today, Stewie brought me a microfiber cloth, and I decided to share my green sausage fingers. I am bruised from finger tip to elbow. 🤕 I hope you've all been well. 🙂

Well...it's snowing in Salem, Oregon. That's okay, but it's almost always followed by ice. If I weren't supposed to have surgery tomorrow, I would enjoy it. We'll see what happens. In the meantime, please enjoy these photos of Stewie, & our snow situation. ❄️🥶🙂

Hard to pick the best from thousands, so I'll just share the most recent. This is Stewart. He brings me whatever he can carry, in exchange for treats. It's a morning ritual. 🐕‍🦺🙄😆

Good morning from Stewie and me! The photo of Stewart was taken while he waited for R to make his breakfast, and prepare his meds. He has what I call a Golden-Normal appetite, so is fed twice a day, with lots of small snacks. 🙂❤️🐕‍🦺

I folded a load of laundry, then grabbed my coffee before putting it away. Stewie took that as an invitation to grab a pair of hubby's underwear off the couch for trading. Good Tuesday morning! 🩲😆☕️🌄

Happy Monday, BSers! 🦋 Stewart has brought me his harness, & been duly compensated for the effort, so that's out of the way. 😉 I'm waiting on final confirmation that my Friday wrist surgery will be approved, after having been rescheduled from Jan. 24. 🤞

Happy Super Sunday to those who celebrate! Stewie offers a purple sock, & I'm sharing a blue sky of clouds from a road trip to Portland yesterday to pick up a parts car. I hope you slept well, & woke feeling refreshed. ☕️❤️

Good morning! It's so early that even Stewie is still sleeping. Coffee is on, though, and I woke to good news about Musk being kicked out of Treasury. Let's hope the judge follows through, makes the tech bros destroy what they've taken, and hope it's not too late.

Happy Friday!😎 I have a habit of dropping my purse on the floor next to my recliner. Stewie brought me my wallet this morning. 🙄😁

Good Wednesday morning, from Stewart and me. We got a few snowflakes this morning, but they won't last. It's a bit too warm for that, and I'm not disappointed. We're not made for snow out here. I hope you're all finding some peace in these difficult days. ❤️

Today, we have a series I call "Anticipation."😆 Stewie brought me a sock, then stared at my hand, waiting for the treato, before trying to take my fingers off. He's a gentle boy, but he gets excited. 🫤 Happy Tuesday, friends!

It's Monday, and Stewart is feeling the mood. He came to me, crammed his snoot into my lap, & stood there until I gave many pets and scritches. We hope you are okay and getting enough sleep. Life is weird right now. Thank God there are dogs. 🦮❤️

Happy Sunday! We had some excitement last night, with an anti-deportation rally that became a street takeover. Haven't caught up on that news yet, but Stewart is here with a sock, and we're giving out ear scritches.😁

Stewart says good morning, and offers a trade for an after breakfast snack. This is his 2nd offering this morning. 1st he brought the harness. Note the slobber on the arm of the chair. Before I could wipe it off, he was back with the bandana.

It works every time. He also wants you to know he went to the dog park yesterday. It was cold. 🥶

Good morning from Stewart and me! There's a bonus photo today since I forgot to add the photo to yesterday's post, and y'all were too polite to say anything. Stew brought me a poo bag this morning, which he snitched from my purse. It all pays the same. Treats for everything!

Good morning! Stewart came to ask for a treato, and when that didn't work, he offered a paw. That usually gets the job done. 😉
Stewie says it's a good day to have a good day. I'll probably be ranting about insurance later, so enjoy these photos for now. 🌄☕️

Good morning from Stewart and me! The day started with a booty scratch, and the offer of a snuffle mat. Treats were shared, and now coffee is on. I hope you all have a lovely Sunday.
We are enjoying a string of bright, sunny days here in the #WillametteValley
