@@NoahMarissa oh thank you! She went to the vet today and they did blood work and urinalysis and an X-ray to see if she has any tumors. Apparently what she has is sciatica. She doesn't even have arthritis. Poor cat. So the other tests will be back tomorrow. We appreciate your prayers. 🙏
It's so nice of you to make Christmas boxes for children in need. I didn't want my dog's ashes but my partner and daughter insisted so we got those plus the paw print done. Sorry about little Cricket having trouble walking when the timing couldn't be worse. I wish you all the best!
I love when candles are in windows for christmas!! ❤ i love summer most of all but when leaves change it's so pretty here. I dislike spring because it's gloomy, rainy and dead looking out there until about may 😂
Yes I hate when everything looks dead! Spring pops here usually by March if not before. Depends on if we have a mild winter or not. It's still been hot here. I think we will get slammed by January 😂
I'm glad Cricket is doing better. ❤ We picked up Sam's (our dog) ashes today. I'm not sure how I feel having them. I don’t feel particularly comforted per se because the whole thing is terribly sad and he is not really there. The ashes came in a wooden box with his name engraved on top and the date of his death. My husband took care of the arrangements, but he didn’t pick anything out. They sent them that way, so must be what they do. Maybe at some point, I'll frame a picture of Sam and put it beside the box. I'm not sure. I spoke to a woman who told me she is having her dog's ashes buried with her. I guess that's another option. Although I still cry occasionally, it's not what it was, but I still feel far from "normal" or good. We have several cats buried in our back yard, too. I happened to read 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 this morning. That comforted me a bit. I'm in Ohio and they're clearing fields and that causes me headaches and allergies at times. I had allergy shots for 11 years, and they helped quite a bit. I don't get the shots now and my allergies have come back a bit, but not as bad as before. Other than that, I love the fall with all the colors. May the rest of this week go well with no further pet problems, and may God's comfort be with us! 💕
@@qtluvBilly3 honestly the only thing that comforts me is knowing he's not suffering anymore. I can't stand to see these babies suffer. 😕 Yeah I have been to the allergist and tested 2 diff times. I have non allergenic rhinitis and there are no shots for that. I use nasal rinse, nasal sprays, and antihistamines but it doesn't stop the infections. Thx for your kind comments! 💜💜💜💜💜
@@qtluvBilly3 one thing I'm noticing is the more I talk about Ranger, the better I am doing. Yesterday I was in the PO picking up a package and I used to take Ranger in a lot with me and the postal worker wanted to know where he was. When I told her, she freaked out and asked why I didn't call her and let her know!! Everyone loved Ranger. She's not even a dog person lol. 💙💙💙
@@dianasimplifies I definitely think that helps the healing process and am so glad it's helping you. I have immensely appreciated being able to process with a few people, including you. ❤ I'm not sure that I'll ever get another dog, but we might eventually. My husband and I are going to wait for at least a year and then revisit that topic. Right now my heart is for Sam, and I want to give myself time to grieve and heal, as does he. They're such a huge part of our lives, and it's a process. Glad you were able to talk to even a non dog person about Ranger. 😀
I'm a Spring/Summer person. Thank you for the review!
Good DT haul !!!
Me too, we have had a great fall bc it's been so hot! Haha!!!
We're praying for you guys and your little Cricket! Hope she feels better soon! ♥

@@jennyjenkins877 I totally understand. I would have never thought I would have gone the ashes route.
Cute stuff!
@@MelindaPlainandSimple I love those little plushies!

@dianasimplifies Sinus infections are the worst! I hope you will find an area to live that is conducive to good health for you!!
@qtluvBilly3 I don't know that it's ever going to happen that I will find a better area but I'm going to try 😆
