I'm Doin Fine, Thanks

Hey everyone, I'm doing better. Thank you all for your good wishes and all. It's been hard and I still cry now and then but I'm getting better. Lucy was my babygirl and we did so much together for the past 15 years. She really was missed by my husband and myself greatly around here. It nearly killed us both when we had to let her go. I held her through the whole process. Afterward, David and I couldn't keep ourselves busy enough to stop thinking about her. I tore the whole house apart cleaning even when I was in physical pain and David tore his tool shed/man cave apart and moved my garden shed for easier access for me. It's now in the courtyard under the trees. He even cleaned it out and bought new pots and bags of potting mix and soil for me. He's a sweetie. I'll have to stop talking bad about him.

But on to better things. About a week before we lost Lucy to her seizures, another puppy came into our lives. His name is Frankie. He's a pound puppy from the Seguin Animal Services. I saw his mug shot on their Facebook page and immediately said we have to rescue him, which we did a week later. He's a Chihuahua/Pug mix with a lot of piss and vinegar in him. He's less than a year old at least. I think he's about 8 or 9 months old. We are taking him to our family vet next week for his introduction and checkup. He knows the house rules already and he's leash trained so he's been going on my morning walks with me when it's not raining. When he gets his checkup and is okay by the vet then we will take him to the dog park. But I have to say he's a blessing to us. 

David has been helping as well as Frankie. We were finally cutting down the frozen dead parts of my lemon trees and David noticed some green shoots near the trunk of one before he cut it. I looked and smiled. One of my lemon trees was fighting for its life. So I let David cut the small trunk carefully down to about 3 inches above the soil line and then I watered the lemon shoots with a lemon fertilizer mixture. Little buggers never give up. I also repotted my oregano. it was going great guns all over the large pot I had it in so I took it all out and broke up the plant into 3 smaller plants and potted them. I also cut several sprigs and tied them for drying. They are so much happier. The rosemary bush I had for almost 15 years died in the winter freeze too, along with my hydrangeas and geraniums. So I ordered new plants because the greenhouses out here in town don't have anything I want. 

Well, I have a little puppy dog that is crying to go outside and I have some things to do too. All y'all have a magical day, wear your mask when you go out and if you haven't done it yet, go get your vax.
