Siesta Sisters....

My apologies for lack of blog posts and commenting this week. My job schedule has changed a bit and it is going to be a tad busy for me the next couple of weeks.
 Hopefully, I will get some posts prepared and have them post automatically for the next few weeks.

Anyhow....the girlz are enjoying some warmer temps on the patio today--hope you are too!!


 they're UP.....
they're DOWN!!!

The visit....and our waistlines!!

Yesterday's visit to the vet was just for a wellness exam and update the girlz on their vaccinations.
When we first entered the office, Gracie gave out a big old WOO-WOO- WOOF!! 
Guess she was making sure they knew we had arrived.
The office staff got a chuckle out of it.

 Waiting...
Gracie being examined by Dr. J
everything looks and sounds good. 
Gracie weighs 62 lbs. Dr. J. is very happy with her weight.
No photo of Gracie and her blood draw as I had to help stabilize her rear legs.

 Schatzie getting her blood drawn with Gracie supervising :)


 Schatzie weighed in at 89 lbs.
She is NOT overweight, Dr. J would like her to drop around 5 pounds.  We want to keep her at a healthy lean weight to lessen the strain on her hips.
Because of arthritis issues for both girlz and Gracies' ACL problem, managing their weight is crucial.
We will be limiting Schatzie's food intake a bit and will cautiously add more activity. 
Blood draws to be sent to the lab.

We will pop into the clinic in a few weeks to step on the magic weighing machine and see if our efforts to get the 5lbs. off of Schatzie works.

Joining the effort to keep our girlz as healthy as possible.

Looking for answers....


Today I am straying from my usual B&W shot to share some information concerning blogging. My friend TexWisGirl over at run-a-round ranch has a post today for those of you struggling with these annoying anonymous comments, spamming, word identification, etc on your blogs. She provides helpful tips in making your blogging life--well...... BETTER!!  I know I learned a thing or two and can now stop those anonymous comments from clogging up my email. Hope you will hop over there and read her informative post.  Be sure to read through some of Theresa's other posts in which she shares her Texas life with her followers. The Whistling ducks are one of my favorites.  In case you missed it, here is the link again....CLICK HERE
Happy Sunday...looks like some blue sky, so I need to grab the camera and get outside.

Just thinking....

"If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."
Wayne Dyer



I've been away from the keyboard this week, just thinking.

 It's seems that all my photos taken recently,  well,  just seem so black and white. 
No life, no color, no story....
but, once I reviewed the shots I changed.

 I found a path not yet taken

The intensity of my faithful canine companion

I found brilliant and vibrant colors

 and  life



Happy Friday
