I check Mama regularly to see if she has any tender spots and any swelling in the joints. Her hips are the worst area where you can feel the roughness of the joints as they move. She never cries out in pain, just slow to get up and down and takes the steps one at a time.
I guess all in all it is time that has become her worse enemy. She is happy and eats well, loves attention and stills gets excited when it is time for a walk or when she thinks she is going for a ride. She is a very sweet girl and very obedient. She just reminds me of my own mortality, I am getting old also so I can relate to her condition. Yesterday I washed the toppers of the camper. I had to get the ten foot step ladder, which weighs a ton and move it around. My shoulder gives me a fit as the pain runs down my arm when I lift something heavy or reach out and stretch my arm out straight. So to compensate I am using my left arm more something that requires some thought for me. Habits are hard to break especially after seventy years of doing things a certain way.
Suzie was so cute this morning with her attention going to the breakfast table, looking for some people food to fall from the table into her mouth. She has so much personality, just a fun girl to have around. Today is supposed to be warm again with cloudy skies, but at least it is not freezing cold like it was last year this time. We are looking forward to Christmas and continued celebrating the season with family and good health. Have a blessed weekend and don’t forget to vote for Old Fella in the Pepsi Give Away.
