Been a busy weekend. Hope Duchess is doing better. This is tough. All animals have a special place with pseudo-Mookie.
Today's lunch should be a variety of fresh veggies - from the veggie stand outside, along with sliced melon and grilled cousin. Crackers and croissants on side. Mmmmm - nice on a hot day.
Then.....a nap.

All tasseled out now, typically around eight feet tall. Chatted with a farmer friend at church yesterday, he said the crop around here is looking pretty good this year. We've been getting the rain just in time. I've been less than impressed with the quality of the sweet corn we've bought, though.
Morning All,
Well, I have some descriptions up on the weekend adventures now. Will try to get a post together with a little more detailed trip report in here either on lunch or tonight.
Sarah, hope you have a safe trip back to PA.
Well, I guess I had better get to work. Hope you all have a great day!
TTFN!
P.S. Just saw the strangest thing as I was leaving the diner. There was a chicken running down the street, followed by a guy wearing some positively medieval footwear, both being chased by a cat. It seemed that both the chicken and the footwear model were headed towards the bakery in search of a large chocolate cake..........................................................

Geez...and I thought I was watching a concrete pour this morning?...gotta start laying off the Colorado Barley Pop with Sunday dinner!
Mornin' All
I want to thank everyone for your thoughts and prayers. Duchess is about the same as far as the nacked eye can see. She is still up and somewhat active and is taking her pills and eating the special dog food. We have an appointment for 11 am tomorrow morning and I hope the vet can find some impovement in her blood. I can't see any improvement but I don't see any worsening either, so as long as she can eat and take her pills there is hope. The vet claims the liver is an amazing organ and can regenerate itself so we are hoping it is not too late to do so. She was born in June of 2002 so she is 4 people years old. Dobermans have lived to be about 18 years old but the norm is anywhere from 10 to 12 or so. Sasha was 10 years and 4 months when she was put to sleep with lung cancer. I am hoping that Duchess can make it through this and live out a nice good life.
I have to work today but this is a short week considering I have only worked the last 3 days and now get 2 days off. Opps, forgot, I just accepted an overtime call for Tuesday 3rd shift. But with the extra vet expenses I can use the extra money.
It is going to be a hot one today. It sure was yesterday too.
Best Wishes to All.
Everyone Take Care
hmmm there is a trail of feathers and fur going out the door. i tapped a new keg of gatorade for those working outside today. that pork chop abracababra is smelling real good.going to need some for lunch.

Hanging out under a Blue Moon again, MC? Perhaps putting a Fat Tire on your bicycle? Or maybe just headed over to the Railyard?
Be wary...it's all part of Hickenlooper's plan to take over Denver, Colorado and maybe the world if he has time!
Chris,
Still have that issue, framed.
It was voted one of the Best cover Shots by a Geographic readers poll.

Seems the monsoonal weather pattern is firing up some afternoon storms. Could happen again today, so I'll keep my fingers crossed. Anyways, I had better get to work. Hope you all have a great day! TTFN!

Ed,
It's very worthy of framing. It gets my vote for best portrait ever by a long shot. I still get chills looking at it. Those eyes....
blhanel wrote:Mmmm... sounds good. BTW, where did you hide the corn on the cob and the chocolate cake?
Q ^~^ Q I got tired of the same old look, so had my groomer reverse it. Probably should have kept it for St Patty's Day, but want to try it out well in advance.
Bought a new cup for my coffee, too, but having trouble getting it through the door. It will be a great place to nap after the coffee is gone. Maybe Joe will come in soon and pull it through the door for me. (leave it on the floor - NLR (no lifting required)
One of those days.

Good Morning to You All,
First Off, to Nance69! Hope you have a great one!
Mook, like the reversed look this morning. You should wear it more often, even if it isn't St. Patty's Day. I just went to an Irish Festival in Silver Plume on Saturday (I even had some Corned Beef and Cabbage!), so it's all good by me. BTW, Mutt looks like he's straining himself a bit with the Coffee Cup, I had better go see if an amateur photographer and a mutt can drag a kitty's coffee cup around.
Well, I had best be off. I get to head to a Pre-Con meeting down in the Springs this morning. Normally that would have been a nice mini-road trip (we don't get to the Springs too often) but Alas! we've got steel grey skies in all directions this morning. Still might take a camera with, but I doubt I'll use it.
Anyways, hope you all have a great day!
