Bailey Dresses for the Frigid Weather

This is Bailey dressed for the cold weather we have been having. As you can tell from her body language, she is not exactly thrilled to be dressed like this. She is actually getting used to the sweater but the boots did her in. As cold as it is outside now, she still asks to go outside for a few seconds at a time. She seems to enjoy the snow but really does not tolerate the cold real well. We will keep working on the boots and evenutally she will figure out that her feet do not get as cold when she goes out with them on just like she did with the sweater. Yes, some of you may think this borders on animal abuse but no more than what some other people do to their animals. You should see some of the stuff on the Internet that some people put on their pets!!!

Old Age Hits Home

Just to update some of you who didn't get my mass email. I spent the night on Thurday, December 4, in the hospital after being treated for atrial fibrillation. I went in that evening because I had not been feeling well for several days and it got considerably worse that day. They gave me meds in ER to convert my rhythm back to normal sinus and then started me on oral meds. They seem to be working as I feel much better now but they tell me I have to give up caffeine and that is going to be hard to do. Guess I am following in Mom's footsteps with this one since she has it too. Somehow the genetics seem to pass over Dallas and Verna and hit me all the time for all this bad stuff, just hope Dad's genes don't hit me too. Now Robert and I both are on meds for atrial fibrillation. Guess we are at that age!
