Selah continues to do good. We are so thankful for this medicine, it has made such a difference. Her heart rate is back to normal, which tells us she is recovering. I love seeing heart rates in the 60's and 70's all day long. She is back to sleeping all night peacefully! We are so very very thankful we were able to get the medicine on Friday (THANKS again Bill's Pharmacy of Brandon!) If she hadn't gotten it, she'd be in the hospital by now, on Thursday night, Friday she was going downhill. This made such a change in her!!!
Great service today, love seeing my kids involved. Our oldest son does the the sound/media now and he does such a good job. Kids nowadays just figure things out so easily! It's good to see him involved and liking what he does. After service we took flags out to the grave yard on the church grounds and put flags out for each veteran, we have 7 in our small cemetery. Several were vets from WWI! The others from WWII.... their families must all be dead, no one ever comes out but I was glad, that they were not forgotten today.
We have a mystery going on here..... we've been noticing little things here and there.... a few weeks ago, we found the church's water hose uncoiled and pulled all the way to the back of the church and left on! That was odd! We thought someone used it and then heard us and didn't have time to put it up. Then this week, one of our cat food trays went missing. Today the other one is gone...the trays were big and aluminum so they could be used for cooking. We are sure no animal took them as we have two fences, one big one put up by the Water Management company that runs the back of the property and then our yard is also fenced in around our house. We have a big outside dog also...I can't believe someone could come up without her barking but maybe she is used to this person. Anyhow it is strange. Tomorrow my fearless husband and brother in law are going out in the woods to check on things, see if they can find a camp. I'm tempted to put out some food....I looked at my garden but didn't notice anything missing from it but it would be hard to tell as I have so much in it! It's probably some old homeless guy.
We're not really worried. I mean we lived in the inner city of NYC with the homeless out on our street but it is a little unnerving. We have so many people at our house daily, with the nurses and therapists as well as night nurses. On the weekend, alot of time some of our family stay over with us too so we're not worried. Plus let's just say we have plenty of defense if we did need it....please don't ever try and "scare" us, in fact CALL before you come because if we don't expect someone....we ( I mean I) have been known to react swiftly....LOL
Thanks for all the prayers for Selah:) Sam also seems to be fine now. Every so often he will rub his eye some but he doesn't act like it is too painful. It looks awful inside, we've seen him open it a few times...UGH! Poor baby!
Hope all my American friends have a great Memorial Day tomorrow, enjoying friends and family. We thank the veterans who fought to give us this wonderful country that we live in! We are planning on some friends and family coming over for a cookout. This will be our first "party" since everything happened....Glad that we will have some of our closest peeps with us! I hope to take some pictures tomorrow:)

Hi Yvonne!
ReplyDeleteDo you guys have raccoons?
We're a bit south in Cape Coral and we feed our feral cats and strays. We used to use trays too - a baking sheet. But we had to switch because the raccoons were stealing them. They get possessive of food and they'll try to run away with the entire baking sheet! They've taken them over a 4-foot chainlink fence and up to a distance of a couple blocks away.
Of course, all the cat food slides off straight away! But they don't seem to realize it until they're quite a distance away.
I wouldn't think it was possible if I hadn't seen it myself! And this didn't happen once or twice. It happened a few times per night for a week or two...until we got sick of chasing down our baking sheets throughout the neighborhood and switched to those anti-tip pet bowls (which are difficult to pick up!)
We have 7 dogs, so I know that won't stop 'em. They're swift creatures! I daresay they can outsmart a few people I know! LOL
Just one idea! Though your homeless person idea sounds equally believable. That makes me sad to think of that.
Best,
Mia C.
our feeding trays were old big dog ones. They weren't shiny or anything. We have two fences and the coons are sneaky. but I've seen our coons eating with the cats LOL!
DeleteAw, our coons eat with the kitties too! It's sweet to watch!
ReplyDeleteThey're quite okay with the cats; it's the other raccoons that seem to get them nuts! I've actually never seen the cats fight with the raccoons over food, but the raccoons seem to go nuts when the "tribes" meet (ours come in family groups of 3-6). They make that awful squealing sound and try to run off with anything that's not nailed down! LOL
Ours were definitely quite large -- the same size as the plastic trays that you'd use for a large dog. About a foot wide and 18-24 inches long. I was honestly shocked by how adept they were at carrying them and quickly! Smart little buggers!
