Is It Spring Yet? by Terri Chandler

Posted on February 18, 2010

Nothing fancy or professional about this journal entry; I just wanted to take a minute and express “THANKS” and “AFFECTION” towards all those who continue to follow my work and leave comments despite my inability to keep up and respond in kind.

I’ve got my finger in so many things at the moment and despite our really cold temperatures the last couple weeks (and some snow flurries) the Daffodils are blooming outside around our Dogwood tree indicating that Spring isn’t to far away which means that we have a new roof to put on our house along with some other major home repairs and renovations that need doing. Anyone interested in a “painting party”? I’ll provide food! ;o) LOL!

So I’m trying to keep myself and my husband focused on the “Honey Do” list and walking the floor wondering how we’re going to keep all these cats and dogs out of the fresh paint, and keep them calm while the shingles fly and the banging on the roof is going on…among other things.

Hopefully everything will come together but until it does, my time here will be limited.
Some of our Senior pets are keeping me very busy as well, they are ageing faster than I am (or so it seems) and health concerns and problems keep popping up that we never had to deal with before. It shouldn’t surprise me, but it’s never easy to see your pets (or anyone for that matter) get old and sometimes all you can do is make them as comfortable as possible. Thank goodness for flannel blankets and heating pads for pets. ;o)

So again my RB friends…….you may all ready be tired of hearing me say all this……but I do mean it from the heart…….THANK YOU! Thank you for not forgetting us and I promise I haven’t forgotten you and I will make it up to you all one day soon when things settle down again.

Huge Hugs from myself and all our “rescued pets”.
Terri

    It’s wonderful to see you!!!!!
    Haven’t forgotten you!!!!!
    My cable service is erratic (blizzard damage) so I’m farther behind than ever.
    You have DAFFODILS???????????

  • Terri Chandler:

    Blizzards…yuck! ;o) It has been a chilly winter for many to say the least girlfriend. I know we will all be glad when it warms up. I feel bad for my northern friends and family though who are usually lucky to start feeling the warmth by May. We were in hopes that this colder Mississippi winter would knock out a few of those pesky musquitoes, but it doesn’t appear so, one landed on my leg the other afternoon. LOL! ;o) Yes, there are three daffodils out there this morning. They are a dareing lot. ;o) xo
    Hugs to you Robin and my precious purr-pal as well! xo

    Sounds like you guys are staying during this old weather.

  • Terri Chandler:

    Oh yes! Hey! Your family, I’ll dial you up when the roof is ready to go up. We’ll do lunch and see how you handle a hammer? LOL! hugs Hope all are well in your beautiful neck of the woods! xo

    Thanks for checking-in Terri! You certainly do have your hands full! How many rescued pets do you have now? I have trouble keeping up with 2 cats and 1 teenager! Good luck with everything and don’t worry about RB!!! – Ellen

  • Terri Chandler:

    Hey Ellen! xox Thank you for keeping up with me. I’m still around and peek in just about every day. (or I try anyway ;o) I can tell you that we have 11 dogs (all vaccinated and altered), and I’m not sure if I’ve actually told anyone except my crew over at my cat forum exactly how many cats we have (which are also all vaccinated and altered). I don’t want people to get the wrong impression and people who don’t know me and my family often just jump to conclusions. There are so many horror stories out there now and while I always hope that the photos I submit to my gallery will speak for themselves, I tend to guard the actual number of cats we care for. Only our vet knows for sure! ;o) LOL!
    Believe me though, it’s within a comfortable and manageable range given my dedication to them, (as well as my husband) and while they make our lives a bit of a challenge at times, it’s worth it. xo
    Stay well my friend! xo ~hugs
