For Ivy of the blog 'The Happy Wisk"

 In my last post I mentioned the folding pet stairs we bought for our dog Maggie to be able to get in and out of our vehicle.  We got them from Amazon. The brand is Petruna.

They are perfect for us as I am the one who has to set them up for Maggie to go in and out and they are easy and light for me to be able to do that.

I also picked up the two tires on the rims yesterday complete with inner tubes, so hopefully they will stay up now.  I hope to have them put back on either today or early next week.  We really need to mulch the fallen leaves.

Still very warm here and today is very windy. It is warmer than it should be for this time of the year. It is going to cool down a bit for a few days then warm back up into nicer, more moderate temperatures.  The daffodils have come up and I noticed the flowers coming out on the forsythia bushes this morning.  Spring has arrived!

Have a great weekend everyone. XXXXX

Lovely weather finally

We are having some really nice weather right now.  Such a change from the long winter cold we had.  I believe we will still have a few cold days to come but not many.

Had a lot of hospital and doctors appointments between us but other than a scare when I had to go back for a repeat mammogram, all is good.  The first mammogram had an 'artifact', their word, but it was perfectly clear on the second one.

We try to keep as busy as we can with our limited mobility, and having the aide come in has been a great help for us.

Our dog Maggie turns 10 this year and she has always been a very strong athletic dog.  She is an American bulldog.  We noticed, however, on our last trip out with her that she was having difficulty jumping into the vehicle.  We purchased some fold-up steps for her made specifically for dogs and vehicles.  She was a little hesitant at first but with a few treats as bribes she is getting the idea.

We got some help to take off a couple of wheels from my riding mower and our little pull-along trailer and we will be taking them in to get new tyres and/or inner tubes put in them.  Mowing season will soon be upon us.

After we get these ones done we have a couple of other tyres to have tubes put in on the bigger riding mower.  They do manage to stay up a while though unlike the ones we will be taking in tomorrow.  They are as flat as pancakes!

That's about all our news for now.

Hope all is good in your lives. XXXXX
