Today was a good day.....

                                                   Busta

                                                                Oreo

  Today Andre saw the cardiologist and had his stitches checked.  There is no sign of infection and everything looks great!  Although walking is still very painful, the Dr checked Andre's hip and basically the muscles are wrecked and bruised from the procedure and time is the only thing that will make it better.  As with all surgeries, time is the key to healing and Andre is going to have to practice his skills with patience and give himself time to heal.  Today was a good day and so begins the next week of healing.

  On a lighter note, I should be finished with the closet tomorrow!!  I had to go and buy some more containers to store stuff in and tomorrow I should have them filled and stored and I will be ready to move on to the next project....the office closet!  Hard to believe but I actually miss work.  I will be returning on Sept. 5th and I am looking forward to it.  I have to take Andre to the Dr again tomorrow so I am going to drop him off and then go to my workplace and drop off some treats for my co-workers.  Just a little thank you to them for working my hours while I take care of Andre.  It's nice to be appreciated and I do appreciate them.

  Your probably wondering about the photo's I posted.  Our friends Ron and Dottie have a very cute dog named Busta and their son Scott has a new dog named Oreo.  When we visited them the other day, I got to meet Oreo for the first time.  He is an adorable little guy, still just a puppy.  I've posted pictures for all you dog lovers out there.  My girlfriend Lorrie has a new lab puppy named Ella, she is VERY cute too and when I see her next, I will take a picture of Ella to share.  The first time I met her, she was running all over the place and so happy to meet everyone!  She is going to be a big girl when she grows up!  I will be calling Lorrie this week and making plans to get together.  So stay tuned for another adorable photo.
I'll have a dog one day, but now is not the time.  We work all day and don't have the time to spend training a dog and I think it is unfair to leave a dog home alone all day.  We have talked about it and once we retire we will have plenty of time to spend with a dog.  We will check out the pounds and find one to adopt, maybe two!
