Dogs, dogs, dogs!

lilac, DH had a border collie years ago.....says she was the smartest dog he ever owned.

My beloved Jackson was so smart that he knew when he heard the sound of our car pulling in the driveway that Daddy was home from work.

😂

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

that’s adorable. Love it

Glad the Easter Dog brought some smiles! Saw it on the FB post of my oldest friend's daughter & I could not resist sharing.

Lilac - By the way, I was once an American living in the UK, in the N.London suburb of Muswell Hill (nearest tube stop was Highgate). Cannot remember if you posted on this topic or the exercise one about people remarking on your "accent." People used to remark about my lovely American (native Ohioan) accent.

OMD YES!!! That’s Kris. He just doesn’t understand.

Dawson is so cute! CeliaC, then you understand why I have to repeat what I say, as when the accent is clocked, the mind whirls, Oh, this is an American or Canadian and when that question pops, then to the long held opinion of Americans and then placed in the American box. I live in the hinterlands of Kent and at the now closed various gyms I teach, I'm known as 'The American', although to be fair, a few do see me as who I am and not simply nationality. I met my Brit husband in Paris and we lived there for 9 years and have been in the UK since 2005, moving here when our son was 6 years old. Said son is now 21 and finishing up his 3rd and last year (BSc or BA are 3 years not 4 in the UK) of uni, (not in his studio flat near Darby University) in his childhood bedroom -in lockdown! He claims he is getting more education from his professor tutoring him on Zoom than attending face-to-face lectures.

I woke up at midnight feeling uncomfortable. My bp was seriously low. Tippy was whining loudly-- objectively speaking, since I am functionally deaf when unaided. I decided to let him out of the kennel to sleep the rest of the night with me. You should have seen his tail wag when he realized that he was going to be allowed into the bedroom the rest of the night!

I have a sleep study coming up this week and adaptive equipment arriving for telephone and doorbell when I am sleeping. Hopefully we can co-sleep at some time in the future, thus cementing the third leg of my warning system. For now, we disturb each other's sleep too much.

And I will begin taking my bp med in the early afternoon instead of bedtime, which will impair my ability to sleep.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thanks Jackie!! He’s a sweet, sweet boy until a strange dog comes along.....transforms into a Jack Russell terrorist!!🤣

My fitbit told me that I was moving as if awake for 1 1/2 hr last night. I would rather do the sleep study without that med, even if it means minimal sleep for a few nights.

Bruce is adorable! Mary, I too hope your bp med time change does not disturb your sleep too much. Interested to hear how the sleep study - when started, is going for you. When our dog is totally relaxed her tongue is hanging out - always give me a smile!
