Our weather warmed up just enough today, so that we had some major melting. This is a very good thing, as the dackels have been having a rough time walking around on the ice. In fact, both Greta and Anneliese slipped around so much, that their hind ends are bothering them.
Greta handles it somewhat better. I guess because she has been dealing with arthritis longer. But Anneliese took a bad slip yesterday and began to act as if she was close to death. She lay absolutely still in her bed, and then was up all night last night.
Today she was shivering like crazy, so I put on her little sweater and she settled right down. She has remained quiet, but tonight she ate a normal dinner and is starting to act like herself. Yes, ice is the enemy of all little dackel dogs!
Lili has been helping Jack with the breaking up of ice. But the last two days when Jack has gone into the basement for something, Lili has followed him and gotten stuck in the basement. Thankfully, we now know that we must look down there when we lose Lili!
I actually got out today to go to the store. We needed a few things and so I went to the grocery store to get them. It was so nice!
And news came today that Mandy and Matt are taking the kids to Disney in April! How wonderful for them. I know that Savannah is going to go crazy and I think that Quinn will also enjoy it, although at 2 years old, he may not remember much of it. That’s okay, it just means that another trip will be planned in the future.
