Poodles and Quilts

Never knew dogs could get pneumonia. But Tilly is recovering from it. Vet appointment last Friday as she was not sounding good and certainly not herself. Those of you who know her, she is usually full of life.  Xrays and blood work pneumonia! She has been on antibiotics now and has finally turned the corner. Tomorrow is a follow up.

It was time but things always look so bare for a few days! Hoping that soon I can start working on the upstairs again once she is sounding better. She has her 12th birthday on Valentine's Day. On a brighter note Tiki had a good yearly check up on Monday! The bright spot of the week!

He and Greg Lasley took off for the Texas Panhandle, into Oklahoma for a few miles and covered a lot of territory in New Mexico searching for birds. Somewhere along the Texas/Oklahoma border is Galen's cell phone. First order of business when he got home. Get a new phone. A few pictures of the inside ready for Christmas.
