Week 30

Here we go moving on to the pictures from week 30:

Day 202- Monday, 7/21/25

This is random and sad to see.  We have had a few neighborhood kids climbing the park trees and actively working to break branches.  So far they have been smaller branches but this one is huge and quite damaging.  The police have even been posted here a few times a week to help catch them but not sure that has helped any..  Hopefully this is the last of it especially with school starting soon to help keep the kids busy and out of trouble.

Day 203- Tuesday, 7/22/25

LOL!  When she wants something she will stare you down. Also she likes to lay in this exact position when you give a "down" command to her.  Her legs are always just like that.  She is wanting a walk and was happy to hear that she was actually getting a car ride to dog training class which we have not been to in a few weeks. It was a nice treat for her and good to be back with her dog pack. Look at her coat down the back.  She is in full on shed mode.  All the lighter colored hair is what is currently falling out in clumps here and there--everywhere!  Don't blame her though it's this heat.

Day 204- Wednesday, 7/23/25

 

 Ha ha! John and my dad  got creative about adapting one of our toilets to make it easier for my mom to use.  The home-care nurse who visits a couple times a week was impressed and they are so proud of their "engineering" skills.  We're also currently using a rolling office chair as a transfer chair which has it's challenges so we have a real transfer chair on order.  Sadly we had all these things in storage from when John was recovering and recently donated them since they were no longer needed, or so we thought. Aside from all that we couldn't do taco night on Tuesday because of the dog training class so we did it tonight. It's great to see they boys interact and catch up with my with my parents while they are all around.

Day 205- Thursday, 7/24/25

My sweet girl. This is what she love to do when I get home from work. Then once 4pm rolls around she'll spring up and start pacing until we go for a walk.  Today's walk was actually refreshing but a bit too windy.

Day 206- Friday, 7/25/25

So much driving around this week that I had to fill up sooner than normal.  Also Tyler and Lupe went camping so I am helping take care of Fred while they are away.  

Day 207- Saturday, 7/26/25

Tyler and Lupe are having a great time in Yosemite and I'm back to visit their cat Fred visit and make sure he gets more food and more love.  Not long after that I had to drop Brandon off at the airport so he can get back to work at Cal State Fullerton.  We'll miss him and won't see him in person again until late November.

Day 208- Sunday, 7/27/25

Last morning feeding and caring for Fred which is near a donut shop so I picked up a box of donuts for group at home to enjoy.  We try to keep Bailey and my mom on different sides of the dog gate just to be safe but Bailey still wants to be close to my parents so she'll lie at their feet.  You can see my mom's real transfer chair arrived and is much better to use when she is too exhausted for the walker.  Later, before picking up more groceries, I ran my car through the wash to help get rid of all the bugs it had collected from driving to and from dog class during the dusk hours. So many bugs!!

 

Up next is week 31 where I was away traveling for work.  Unfortunately I had to leave my parents, still with us for another week, but John and Justin held down the fort and took care of the household for me.  Obviously none of this was in the plan when my trip was booked late last year.
