Well here I am again...reporting the latest news from me to you!

Mother in law: Mom has been struck by the same terrible cold both hubby and I have..so she is spending tons of time in bed, I am making sure, though sick myself, that she gets her meds, breakfast, hot cups of tea and other meals and requirements.She has signed up to try out going tot he day center in the neighboring town  Stanhope twice a week.This would be good if she ends up liking it as its about 6 hours long each time and she would make tons of new pals her own age.They always have lots going on for them to take part in..and I think the mental stimulation would be a pluss for her.

Ben The dog: I have been working vigilently with Ben in hopes of teaching an old dogs new tricks.If you recall he is mother in laws 9year old dog who hates other dogs, not ideal as we have 4.He is doing very well in his attempts to behave with the others, and we have had several situations where either he or one of our dogs has accidentally crossed paths without so much as a snarl.This I feel is progress for sure! I can now take him out into the back yard on a lead while the others dash around freely, sometimes even getting within snapping distance, and no signs of hostility so far on his part.Way to go Ben!

Our 4 Dogs: We still have to give Ben free range of the house as it is his territory, so ours spend lots of time in one room.I do however make sure they have tons of toys and comforts of home, not to feel neglected.I do my best to have them out for a run and a game of fetch at least  times a day...so they do get out! Sassy turned 5 June the 6th and Teddy will turn 5 on July the 4th...so they are getting closer to middle age for doggies.

Hubby: Hubby unfortunately was the one to come down with this horrible cold the worst....it settled on his lungs causing him to seek medical attention, plenty of meds have been dished out to him from the GP, but so far it's not shifting off his chest.I make sure he gets tons of rest and plenty of veg and fruits to try and keep his system strong for fighting.July the 8th will be 6 years married and August the 20th will be 7 years knowing hubby!

Me: I have this horrible cold as well, for me it seems to go away a bit, then the next day it strikes again as if new.I have to take care of hubby and mother in law , so there's not as much rest for me as them...someone has to keep everyone fed and medicated! I have been running a Sister's Drive at my forum to try and get new members, as our goal of members for the year is 20, so if you know any women out there interrested in joining , it's new and improved...and easier to join!

Well that's all for now..Love and Light To everyone!
