Yogi Got A Haircut

Yogi Bear went to the Paw Paw Patch on Monday and got a whole new look. I thought I had a different dog when I picked him up. They had put a bow in his hair, black and orange for halloween, but it was quickly removed when we got home. He certainly has a unique personality and we are still in the process of doing our business outside and not inside. This has been a challenge to say the least. We laugh a lot at his antics and still trying to understand what he wants when he gets our attention. He definitely know to ask for a treat and runs to the red carpet and lays down to get it. Aaron has yet not chosen to get in the floor and play with him so he is missing out on the fun we have. Just wanted everyone to see what the new Yogi looks like. Take care and leave comments if you like.

Yogi Bear

We now have a new addition to our family. A Yorkshire Terrier given to me by my friend that I play Bunco with. He is a registered one year old male and follows me around as if he was my shadow. Much adjustments are ahead for Yogi since he left a home with two other dogs to play with all day. So far he has slept two nights without barking. Must shop for a new dog bed as the previous owner has loaned me his so he will feel at home. She also sent his blanket. I think he sleeps on the rug by my bed instead of his bed. I know he wants to sleep in the bed with me as he did with his previous owner, but I cannot share my bed with an animal. I love my bed. For the first time tonight, he sat snuggled in my arms as I was reading email on the computer. Normally he does not like to be held tight or snuggled with, but maybe he is finally warming up. It will take some adjustment to get our routines and habits formed, but I am so in love with my new dog. It has been 16 years since I had a dog and I am loving it. I plan to take him with me when I travel to my daughter's. He likes traveling in the car I am told. Just sits and rides. Hope to post a picture soon of my sweet Yogi Bear.

Fall

Well, the weather has finally given us a few cool mornings, what a relief. Papaw and I will start to get some needed rest and relaxation. We now have a lady who comes to the house on the days we need her to take care of Aaron and his needs. Her name is Ashley and she seems to be a very sweet and caring person. It will take time for her aclimate herself to our daily lives and feel at home. We are also excited about getting a dog. My Bunco friend has a terrier that she wants to find a good home for, so she will bring Yogi over in a week and let him sniff and check out his new territory. I asked her to take him home and then bring him back the next day, so he will not be traumitized to his new home. He is house broken, about a year old. Will try to post a picture soon.
My daughters baby shower is soon approaching and I just could not resist buying Baby Jack a new outfit and hope mom will let him wear it home from the hospital. Just need to find shoes to match. This is such an exciting time and I can hardly contain myself waiting for my sweet grandson to come into this world.
My dear friend from Alabama called yesterday and told me she had a new granddaughter, Allie Elizabeth Pair. This is her first grandchild from her first born son Danny.
May God bless each of you today in a special way, as I am blessed for having such wonderful friends in my life.

Aaron Ray

Made the trip to Scottish Rite today to have Aaron's cast removed, the wound checked and a new cast put on. Will wear this for two weeks, then he will wear an imobilizer off and on for a while. He has done so good with all of this and we are thrilled that he will be able to sit in a normal position. God is so good to have been with us throughout this process and Aaron can now start he 5th grade with most of this behind him. Thanks to everyone that has prayed for him, it is so much appreciated.

Aaron Ray

We head back to Scottish Rite Wednesday to have his cast removed and an new one put on. Hoping he does not have to have it on for very long since school will be starting soon. The summer has gone by fast and we are all ready for the cool days of fall. Need to get the school clothes in order and meet the teacher on the 19th. Thinking about all the things I need to do before my daughter's baby shower in October and all the things I want to get and make for my Baby Jack. Pray for Amy as she is still having throw up episodes at 5 months. Guess she does not do pregnancy well, as her mother I did not do well either. Must run in the family. But it is all worth it in the end, a sweet precious child from God. Special request to pray for my friend's granddaughter Hailey who will have surgery Friday in Delaware for ITP, it is an autoimmune disease that affects her platelets. She is 16 and her grandmother has been my friend for 40+ years.

Friend

My friend Connie fell and broke her arm and now awaiting surgery after being at the hospital all day and not getting to go to surgery. Now she is back home awaiting another time the doctor can fix her arm. Please pray for my friend that this will be resolved soon.

Aaron Ray/Hayleigh.

Well, Aaron came through surgery with flying colors. Surgery on his knee and foot and a great big cast from his foot all the way up to his thigh. We have to go for a week with this cast and it will be removed to see if everything is healing and then another cast will be put on. We don't know how long he will have to have it, but hopefully it can come off before school starts. So glad he has this behind him. Hayleigh will go to visit him tomorrow before she gets on the plane headed home to California. They have had a great time together and really have gotten to know each other much better. I know they have made memories to last a lifetime and so have I. I have enjoyed watching them play together, laugh together and even get on each others nerves at times. They have hugged and kissed each other and shown so much love and say that they are the best cousins ever. It has been a growing and learning time for both of them and we look forward to Hayleigh returning again next summer and meet her new cousin Jack.
