Tree monkeys

 About 2 years ago we had lightening strike one of the  big oaks in our back yard.  I had been hoping it had just gone into shock but it was slowing dying.  Being so big & close to the house we knew we needed to have it taken down but had to get in a tree service that would climb it as they can't get any big equipment into the back yard. 
 Felicity:  "Freda why are we sitting here on the patio?  Is there something entertaining going on today?"
Freda:  " I have no idea but I'm not sure I'm going to like it!"
 Felicity:  "Oh my look how high up he is!  I can't look!"
 Freda:  "Keep your knickers on Felicity!  I think they know what they're doing"







 Felicity:  " Timber!  Oh no it's going right for the shed.....oops it's not supposed to be sticking out of the roof like that is it?"
 Yup.  They managed to drop a branch on the shed roof but will be back tomorrow to fix it.  Also when they dropped the main part of the trunk they broke the perimeter wire to our invisible dog fence.  As long as Molly is wearing her collar she doesn't even think about going across the "line"   Good thing as it will be a while before that cut up so we can repair it.

BTW  The pics were all taken by Popster as I was at work when all this happened.  That's why there's no shot of the tree sticking out of the roof:)

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot.  When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow.  Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out.  I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly.  Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes.  It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet.  Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners.  We then made her wear them around the house for a while ...

Work, cat bites. hospital.....

After a long winter I went back to work on Thurday & as usual it was crazy with the phone ringing off the wall!  The weather wasn't that great but golfers in the northeast are like caged animals who are finally free!  We had good weather predicted for the weekend & I was scheduled to work both days.  After a very long day Saturday I finally got done around 8 pm & was meeting Popster & Jess in Ballston Spa at a surprise birthday party for Jeff & Colby.  Jess met me in the parking lot & said she was leaving as she had also worked all day.  She showed me her arm where she had been bitten by a cat earlier at work.  She had gone to urgent care & they gave her antibiotics & she went back to work. Before I left for work Sunday at 5:30am I woke her up to look at it & didn't like the way it was swelling up.  I told if it didn't look better when I got home at lunch we were going back to urgent care. This is what it was...
