Spread Joy

 

Before I even get into spreading joy, look at that beautiful array of Halloween stuff! The seasons are changing and I am ready for it. This past week, my husband and I have been doing after dinner walks since the weather has been so very nice. I know it's going to be hot again, but for now I can pretend Fall is around the bend. I continue to do my daily morning walks without a dog and now they can approach a cardio workout. Frodo was s l o w.

My elbow is improving but it aches a lot if I do stuff. I won't even say 'over do it' it just all depends. By the end of the day I'm like 'oof'. I see the ortho doctor for a check up and I hope I either have physical therapy or clearance to do whatever I wish.

Yesterday, I decided to spread joy. I went to our local farmer's market and had a fruit basket made up so I could take it over to the vet and her staff to thank them for all that they did for Frodo. They were all so happy and I found out that two other dogs that same day went over the rainbow bridge with Frodo. Gah. What a hard job to do! What a crappy Monday!

I'm planning next week or so to take some treats to the kennel and the groomer. Spreading joy is so much fun and it makes me so happy to thank all the people who loved Frodo as much as I did. 

We are planning to be a cat family only for now, we want to have freedom to see our out of town grandchildren and do some other long day trips spontaneously. Bittersweet decisions.

Speaking of love, or tolerance, ha ha., Holly has been coming out more and more now that her nemesis is gone. We have been delighted to see her come out to visit us and get some much needed attention. I hear more zooming back and forth upstairs as well. We have been calling her the Queen Bee and love her and her bravery to be in the dog zone of the house. Baby steps.

I purchased the 'remember' rock as well at the farmer's market which we will place somewhere in the back garden near by a newly planted mum. There was a corner of the patio garden that Frodo loved to cut through and has worn a little foot path so my husband planted the mum in that spot. Now to see if those pesky deer are going to eat it! If they do I will buy another one.

Thank you all for visiting, commenting, reading! This community that we built is so special and dear to me. We uphold each other and that is a beautiful thing to witness.
