BuddybooWhodini

For the past 13 years we have had this little stinker, he was a 2 year old when we got him, his name was brody, which I disliked so I changed it to Buddy, then we added the boo.  Well shortly after he arrived he managed to get into our bedroom without making a sound, so we added the Whodini.  When he arrived, he had been crated his whole life, and we were his 3rd home.  I made him a promise he would never be crated again, and this was his home for the rest of his life.  Sunday night, that time came.  He was showing his age, and having some issues walking at times.  Other times he would take off down the steps like a young pup.  I hated losing him, but I know that he is at the Rainbow Bridge with all the others that have gone on before, waiting to see us again. 

So long until we meet again.

Replacement #3 and a flood

My surgery was on May 8th, and they sent me home the next day.  It is now almost 4 weeks post surgery and I am still using a walker per doctor's orders, all looks good but I'm still in pain, but that is to be expected. 

Oklahoma and Kansas and other places have received a lot of rain and all those places run into the Arkansas River at some point west of us.  A levee was breeched at Dardanelle, which has flooded a lot of farm land  and homes. Covered a lot of roads, too.  Our levee at the river just north of us almost collapsed, but hard work from many in the area have built a cofferdam and prevented it from happening.  If that had happened we would have been blocked in until the water goes down.  Thank you to all that worked tirelessly to prevent this.   Now Highway 64 to our east is underwater, and the interstate is in danger of being covered.  The water is supposed to be going down soon, but then we have a forecast of rain, so who knows when that will happen,
