This and that

Doris, Sophie is adorable. What soulful eyes.

Some of you may remember our Kira, (husky/german shepherd mix), who had to have knee surgery a year ago. Now she has blown out the other knee! Oh my goodness. Now we have to make a decision as to whether to have this surgery again. I'd really rather not, as it was so hard on her, but if we don't, she'll probably develop arthritis in that knee after the scar tissues forms and she'll always have some trouble with it. SIGH. It's bad enough to spend the money, but factor in how hard it is on the dog too, and that means we're hesitating. Since she's not quite seven years old, though, I don't want her to have years of lameness. DOUBLE SIGH.

On the good news front, DS has moved into his newly renovated house. It's not quite finished, but nearly so. The dining room is the one room that hasn't had much done to it yet. Other than that, just the upstairs bathroom needs fixtures hooked up and the stairwell and foyer need paint. Everything else is pretty much done. The living room looks amazing with the Australian cypress hardwood floor we put down. This kid's house looks nicer than mine!

That said, the wallpaper is done in my bedroom except for one wall where a door had been removed years ago and DH is working on smoothing it out so you can't tell. Of course, that wall is on MY side of the bed....

Lots going on here. Oldest DD broke her nose snowboarding (face planted herself in the icy snow coming off a jump), youngest DD has a "severe throat infection--not strep) and is out sick from school for a second day, and I have not yet learned the song and the poem for the chapel lesson I'm to teach tomorrow at school. I guess I'd best get moving here! Oh, and did I mention that we have sleet and freezing rain this morning?
