Truth be told...right after the first pic, he leapt out of the car and I spent half the night at the 24/7 Emergency Vet waiting to see if he fractured his front leg...which Thank God he didn't. When we got home he proceeded destroying and shredding his new Serta Orthopedic memory foam bed and one corner of my china closet. Such fun having a little cute pup! lolSo good to hear from you!
That photos of YoYo cracked me up. In the first one he looks like he's saying "Okay… now… how quickly can I chew through this?" But then in the second photo, he's all sweet and innocent. "Who, meeeeeeee?"
He is! An adorable terror!!! lol How are things with you Cilifene? LTNSHe looks adorable though
Oh my! So sorry to hear about your slipped disc. Be careful of it while moving as it's very stressful on your lower back. I should know, I ruptured three discs back in 2000 and had to be operated on. What a way to start a new millennium!!!I can imagine lol.
I’m keeping myself busy with work - having a slipped disc in the lower back - Selling my apartment and moving to a rented apartment.
Thanks for asking
I’m exhausted.... excited.... and just want it to be over and done.. moving in next week...
Glad to hear his leg is o.k.
Oh, that must have been so frightening! I occasionally have to take that same combo of benadryl and prednisone, and it makes me stagger around too. Sometimes it's necessary, but wowza.
I hope he's better now. That's a lot of stress on you and your DH.

Wow! That is fantastic @Cilifene ! Congratulations! ❤️Btw, today I’ve been married for three months
Wow, @ElainePG It sounds as though it’s been a tough go for a while for you. I’m glad you were able to get the surgery safely and hope that your recovery continues to progress well! ❤️Thank you for asking, dear.Things in my personal little neck of the woods have been… complicated. I needed spine surgery in December (in the middle of a pandemic, yet!) but the good news is that it was done by a world-class neurosurgeon up at Stanford, and they had me in & out in record time. Their safety protocols were impressive, and I didn't get C-19 while I was there.
So there's been that. Kind of a lengthy recovery, and physical therapy to start next week, but I haven't able to BLT (bend, lift, twist) for the past 3 months, which puts a cramp in my style and also keeps me from driving. I'm needing to ask for a lot of help from DH, which he's happy to provide, but I really prefer to be independent.
And then my Mom (at age 96) is needing more & more of my time, energy, and attention. I'm very glad that I'm only 2 blocks away from her, and that the place where she lives allows me to visit (I'm considered a secondary caregiver), but emotionally it's difficult. She's still living independently, in her own apartment, but DH and I can see that there will come a time when she will need to be moved to assisted living within the same place (it's a tiered life care facility). This will be such an agonizing decision, but I really believe it will be sooner rather than later.
Of course, compared to so many in this country (and in the world) we have a lot to be grateful for. I try to remember that.
