Visit from the boys

Everyone was here yesterday! James and James, now both 6. Marcus is 4 and David is 3. They're all beautiful, healthy, smart and happy.

Life in Quarantine

Early and Sophie relaxing on the new bed.

So here we are, July 1 and the virus rages on. Infection rates are rising again in most places and we're still in the first wave. Everywhere I go I still see a few people who flatly REFUSE to wear a mask. It's so stupid. They are the reason we remain in this situation.

The dogs had their annual checkup at the Vet's yesterday. They HATE it. They get so anxious and tense, but they are such troopers. Early has been limping occasionally and will sometimes not want to bear weight on his left hind leg. Turns out he has a partially torn ACL or MCL. Whatever. As long as he's not in major pain or suffering in any way, we'll just deal with it. I am not in a position to pay for knee surgery on an old dog. I bought him a new bed to rest his arthritic bones and joints. We also give him CBD treats. They are a couple of lucky dogs for sure.

Bertie is coming this weekend with the boys! I haven't seen them in months. James will be 6 tomorrow. Time has gotten away from me. The year has half over. And what a year it has been! So WEIRD. It's very unsettling...pandemic, massive unemployment, civil unrest, a completely dysfunctional government, fascist policies, sadistic police...it is too much at times. We do the best we can under the circumstances and just hope for the best.
