We don't know what just happened to Bear, but...

We don't know what just happened to Bear, but we were getting ready for bed and put him in his crate. The next thing we know he's screaming like he's hurt. We all rushed to check on him and he came out and sat with Shaun and Cub for a few minutes. He seemed ok aside from one of his knees being out of place (which happens all the time and he never makes a big deal of it), but Shaun fixed it for him.

We checked the camera and he was making circles like he was about to lay down and he kind of fell over and started screaming. We can't see anything that could have hurt him. I don't know if he tripped or what (he's not the most coordinated pup), but that was scary.

I feel so bad for him. I know some of his issues have got to be in part because of his jankey knees. As soon as he's clear of the seizure meds and ok to undergo surgery we're doing that for him. The sooner, the better to prevent arthritis. It would already be done if the seizure issue hadn't come up.

For what it's worth, I think he's felt pretty good all day. He's been strutting around (he definitely has a walk for "I'm energetic and about to get into some shit." 😂) and causing chaos all day. He's been super playful. So I'm hoping he just maybe twisted an ankle or something and that we're not seeing a new bad thing surface. Poor sweet boy. ❤️


This is... certainly one place to sleep. 😂😂😂

The gang's all here!

The gang's all here! Me, Shaun, the 5 downstairs cats, and both dogs. ❤️


Exciting to probably no one but me...

Out of 72 drawers I'm down to swatching the last 3 drawers of nail polish that are in my database. The 4 drawers of polish remaining after that are newbies that I need to put in my database as well as swatch.

So I didn't hit my December timeline on getting everything that's already catalogued swatched (and I knew I probably wouldn't), but this is still pretty great.

I'm doing a drawer of magnetics tonight, and a drawer of magnetics tomorrow. Those will take extra time to make sure the magnetic effect shows up on my swatch sticks. Then I'll do my duos, which will also take extra time because I need to swatch them separately and then together. After that, onto my new stuff!

I think I'm gonna have around 5000 nail polishes by the time it's all said and done... And that's a lot. (Please don't judge me too harshly - I've been collecting for many years. I still have polish I wore in high school.) I guess I will either need to stop buying or start destashing after this because I am running out of drawers to put them in. We shall see.

This child. 😂😂😂

This child. 😂😂😂

He's getting better at the couch. It's been a few days since he last fell off. He only gets up there when Shaun puts him there, though. Gotta get those knees fixed ASAP.




Wow.

Wow. We went to the dog park and then Arby's. The guy at the drive-through gave us this box of meat for the pups. He said he's showing them some love.

New Mexico is so pet-friendly. I am always so blown away at these random acts of kindness towards animals. It's completely opposite of my experiences in Alabama.

I have said it so many times, but here it is again:  I really love it here. ❤️
