As the song says, waiting is the hardest part. I want it to be over with and to know whether Jimmy-dog makes it through Ok. I'm trying not to think about it since it makes me tear up.Daizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075279944974601962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-75185953919953427352016-10-26T21:18:16.994-07:002016-10-26T21:18:16.994-07:00You are awesome Daizy, and Jimmy dog is lucky to h...You are awesome Daizy, and Jimmy dog is lucky to have a human like you!

He said yes, so we went forward. The dog is 13.5 years old now and is doing great! Best money I ever spent.<br /><br />Its been in the 80s here in the mid-atlantic. Finally Saturday it dropped into the 50s with rain and 40 mile an hour winds.

I'm still weighing the pros and cons. Such a hard thing to decide when the outcome is uncertain. Your non-rainy day in Washington sounds lovely. I washed all my sweatshirts in anticipation of cooler weather soon!Daizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075279944974601962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-11121530386146562102016-10-23T21:01:12.263-07:002016-10-23T21:01:12.263-07:0050 with 20MPH winds sounds like Arizona's wint...50 with 20MPH winds sounds like Arizona's winter!

It's a miracle sometimes that you can make progress toward your early retirement.<br /><br />We have had a quick temperature drop here in New York. After some delightful indian summer days earlier in the week, the temp dropped from 70F to 50F in 12 hours! And it will drop into the 40s by tonight. It's a miserable drop, too, with some rain, no sun, and lots of wind. You get a wind chill when it's 50 with 20 MPH winds.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05503978839912338538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-65220516239117588902016-10-22T07:04:33.715-07:002016-10-22T07:04:33.715-07:00Traumatic and expensive!
