Yesterday

Good Morning, L&LL,

Rusty had a good night. He ate all his fuds, and his breathing was OK by the time we got to bed (had been noisy earlier in the evening; I think he inhaled some food). This morning he was waiting on the table for his breakfast (ate some and then just wanted to sit in my lap).

Another damp, chilly, dreary day with snow flurries and freezing rain to start. It's supposed to get better later. Edward and I have to go to check the condition of the trail for Monday's hike/ picnic lunch. Yes, a picnic lunch cook-out in February, one of our group's traditions. We ski in, roast hot dogs at a lean-to by a pond and then ski back (about 5 miles round trip). This year I doubt than anybody will attempt to ski because the snow is not good. But we'll snowshoe or walk wearing microspikes. We'll have a better idea after we test the trail today.

Everyone have a good weekend,

Glad to hear Rusty is feeling good and breathing better this morning!

Poor Rusty last night. I'm glad he is doing better this morning.

 

[Stacy & Asia]

Keep eating your foods, Rusty! More good breathing vines your way.

 

[Tasha & Darwin]

Glad Rusty is continuing to eat well, and feel better. We haven't posted much, but have been thinking of him! Sending continued vines for his health

 

[Judy and Boomer]

Nice to hear that Rusty had a good night and is eating well!
It's dreary here too although reasonably mild. I really need to see (and feel) the sun!

 

[Wendy&Neko]

Love the appy report today.

Enjoy your hot dots. Time for me to go out and shovel a foot of snow off the solarium and deck before the rains start tonight.

 

[Anne & Zener GA]

We got 6" of snow! But we are in Seattle, no snow here last night. Good to see a happy appy report!

Glad to hear Rusty is feeling good. Enjoy your hike.

 

[Tricia Cinco(GA) & Harvey]

I'm so happy to hear Rusty recovered from his food inhalation with no adverse affects (anti-jinx). Keep eating, LagoonMeister!

Good luck with the scouting expedition today. I hope your planned hike/ski turns out well, whatever kind of footwear you end up in!

But we are in Seattle, no snow here last night.

Visiting, I assume? Surely you didn't move from Flagstaff?

 

[rhiannon and shadow (GA)]

sending good breathing vines.... feel good vines just because.....

 

[Ella & Rusty & Stu(GA)]

Enjoy your hot dots.

I just caught that, too! Love it!

Thanks for all the vines, guys. Rusty did well all day. The beans had an interesting snowshoe in to the pond. About 8 inches of crusty, heavy snow to plow through on snowshoes (breaking through often). We brought in some firewood. There were ski tracks from a few days ago and these had hardened. But I don't think I'm a good enough skier to do this trip as a ski, and Edward doesn't ski. There was a lot of forest debris on the trail. It looks like some people will ski and others snowshoe. Tomorrow's weather may settle the question: rain/ sleet/ snow all day and unseasonably mild.
We are planning a February surprise for the participants: Klondike ice cream bars! Hope it will be cold enough to keep them from melting in my pack.

Good luck tomorrow.

@Tricia Cinco(GA) & Harvey, yes, just visiting in the Seattle, seeing friends and going to the PAC-12 women's basketball tournament. And we missed 6"of snow in Flagstaff!
