Thursday scoop

Belle is pre-adopted.  We'll take her to her new home on Sunday.  It's a perfect match for her - really perfect.  I thought if there was even a hint of "not perfect" I would decline them (she's a special dog).  Nothing, nada, zero.  Perfect.  And so we'll say good-bye to our little love this Sunday.  💔💔💔

Now for Gigi.  She looks exactly like a baby fox.  She's perked up a bit, but still sleeps most of the day.  This cough is knocking her for a loop.  She likes to be outside in the grass and I try to get her out to have some nature time.  We'll do more today.  She's precious, fragile, adorable ... all in a 5 lb package.

Siting in the shade chilling.

Baby FOX!!

Last night was the curse of the second night crating.  ALL fosters sleep well the first night (nerves probably) and go ape crazy the second.  Little Gigi ... who barely walks ... who sleeps all day ... who doesn't move without being roused ... she BARKED and BARKED and clawed at the crate as soon as we went to bed.  UGH.  Hubby slept in the other room and decided to take her with him.  She slept on the dog bed and was fine.  (He's a softy and a good man!)  We'll have to do some changes tonight.  We don't want any of us stepping on her.

Ran some quick errands yesterday too.  Sunglasses fixed for FREE.  Wow.  Thanks Lens Crafters.

New workout / walking shoes since I was just around the corner getting my glasses fixed.  ON Cloud.  Not good for running, but I like them for lifting.  No tie laces - bam - sold!  And a pair of my very expensive flip flops that are supportive to walk all day - keeps my back happy.  I found them in a bit more feminine version.  The ones I have are like Fred Flintstone shoes!  Good, supportive, comfortable shoes are always worth the money to me and worth coming at the expense of being FASHIONABLE.  I have wide feet and have never been able to wear pretty, girly shoes - oh well.  I'm happy to be comfortable.  Happy feet = happy ME.

Subtle difference but I like them.  They'll be my "dressy" flip flops lol!

Boring black.  I didn't love the color choices.

GNI was fun.  I stayed until almost 9 ... I tried to leave around 8:30, but it took me that long to say good-byes and out the door.  For all my bitching, the food was a good variety this time.  Someone made eggplant rolls - so delicious.  I need to scout out a recipe.

Porch roof today.

Continued landscaping project.

I'm home all day, so time to cook the chicken.  The soup and sliders are made and frozen.  I also Instant Pot cooked chicken breasts since I wanted stock for the dogs.  No seasoning, but sanitary this time LOL so I can eat the chicken.  I'll just season it when I use it - not ideal, but the dogs are worth it!  I have the tenders to grill today (with seasoning!!).

Lots of dog time happening, maybe some reading (I'm going slowly with the book, but it's good so far ... stay tuned!)

P.S.  My funk is SLOWLY lifting.  Moving forward, not hibernating, eating better ... it all adds up.

This was my view after my treadmill workout.  Cuteness overload.
