This is Wednesday just after we got home. Pain killer hadn’t wore off yet. The first night was the worst. Today she has very little pain. We are soaking her feet in Epsom salts and Betadine twice a day. Healing nicely.

I had known someone years ago, that had the same procedure as your wife.
She had said it was very painful.
You're an excellent caregiver, Pappy, glad she has you.
Hope she has a good recovery.

Micka. Do you happen to know why?
 

Delivered the 2 four wheel walkers I bought and assembled to our local hospice. They were down to one walker. They loan these and other medical equipment to people who cannot afford them.
 
When I went to bed last night at midnight,I knew I was tired.I was stunned to see what time it was when I woke up it was 7:40.On my early walk what a nice surprise,the sun was out. The 1st day we've had sun since end of Dec,temps in the 20's refreshing with no wind
This morning doing my laundry,take advantage of the sunshine go on my walks
The rest of my day read the paper,my book

She had a very severe fungus in her toenail, if i remember right she had one of the smaller toenails removed as well.
She had let things go on too long, otherwise. maybe she could have saved them.

I guess I was very fortunate to not have had pain. I had part of my big toenail removed (ingrown) .. it was immediate comfort once removed. I was foolish not to have had it done sooner, as it was very painful for a long time. I was wearing open-toed sandals for most of the year.
 
I’ve got all but one of the of my puppy toys delivered today from Amazon. One of the toys is a cube with two little balls in it. The balls are in a net bag inside the cube. You take the balls out, reclose the cube and the puppy is suppose to figure out how to open the cube and get the balls out. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I’ve decided it is like when the pharmacist gives you a prescription in a child lock bottle and you have to have a child open the bottle for you. Know what I mean? I don’t want to break the toy, which was expensive.

Soooo, once the puppy has the cube open, I’ll take the little balls out of the net bag. 🤬🤦🏻‍♀️

You are so prepared for your companion........LOVE it.
The games made for dogs are excellent.
When my Corgi joined my family.......not so much when she was a puppy......but once she got over a year......she needed to keep her smarts working or she was proud to present her title as my " problem child #1."
Games like.....a tray with removable little cups.....you put treats under some of them.....then she would keep lifting the cups till she found the treats.
Was really funny at the start......she thought the cups were her reward, and carried them off.....just showed her a couple of times, then she got it........the problem was she was getting too fast at it.......so i got some more challenging ones.
My sheltie, Tia at the time, got the hang of it as well.

So HAPPY you're getting a little family member.........I think you'll be a great doggie Mom.
 
Sunday here, not alot, we still have a few holiday makers down this way so roads and the few shops we do have here are packed. So generally this time of year we stay at home and that is what we are doing again today.

Doing laundry today. Might call a friend this afternoon. Might put in a grocery list for curb side pickup tomorrow. The new version of "All Creatures Great and Small" starts tonight on PBS so I will watch that.

Thanks. I am never sure what channels I have since they seem to change at lot. I set the show to record which means if I have that channel I can watch the show and if I don’t have it the show will record but I won’t be able to watch it. It’s so strange 😂

Thanks. I read that corgis and red heelers get really bored really fast so I have a wide variety of toys to switch out as there is nothing worst than a bored puppy or dog. I bought one of those find the treat games, marked easy, for her.

I bought one of the new “scent bone toys” that it supposed to keep puppy occupied for long periods of time, and snuggle puppy with heart beat for me 🤓. I am going to do tether training. I‘ve never done tether training before, as I can not imagine tethering a dog anywhere. But I thinking it with help with no bark training later on so giving it a shot.

Now that everything from Amazon has been delivered except one item, Yes, I am ordering the last few things. 😂. Rose has enough toys for five puppies, but training retrieve requires a lot of different mouth feel toys. Training “find it” requires scent toys. I doubt I’ll have time to be bored anymore. 😆
 
I spent some of the day yesterday trying to clean up the mess I made the other day installing a printer. I never claimed to be a genius when it comes to techie stuff and this proved it.

Then I spent the rest of the day cleaning up the balled up printer paper that did not print properly.
