Thanks Sister. It is just what we thought, onset of renal failure. She is nearly 20 and has survived a stroke and still going, but the vet says she has maybe a few more months. We have her home resting comfortably in her favorite spot.
Friday at long last. Been a long week. Hope everyone is doing well.

Sorry Browncoat1; I know how it hurts.
Finally Saturday…snowing here; not sticking, thank the Universe. Gotta get some chores done.
Take care.

Sunday…a bittersweet day. Had to throw a Rottweiler in bed to get my husband up this morning! Don't ask.

Big Suck, yet again. Plus, we're under a 'winter storm' thing…not as scary as it could be, I guess.

No snow, yet…just cold. At least it's Hump Day Eve.

Forgive me if I come across as uncaring, but all people in Richmond have talked about for the last three days is the "huge snow storm" headed this way. While we are more used to it (and better equipped to deal with it) than the folk in Atlanta, it boggles my mind that people are staring at the doppler radar picture on their computers like they are seeing a hoard of Reavers headed their way and they can't escape. It's snow people, not Ragnarök. It is Winter and that means cold temperatures and the possibility of snow. I get that we are in Virginia and most of the state with the exception of the mountains gets little annual snowfall people act like the world is ending.
Yes, snow and ice make it difficult, even dangerous to drive, but not impossible. Allow more time, be careful, but be prepared. We are humans, not helpless fish trapped out of water. Your cupboards should never be so bare that you must rush the grocery store for milk and bread. Every household that gets snow, even if it is infrequently, should have a snow shovel and a plan for dealing with snowfall.
Maybe it is just the military man in me, more likely it is the Norseman in me, that feels people should be better prepared, more self sufficient, and ready to tackle a problem, rather than look on with dread and an inability to act.

Agree completely! Maybe it's the Irish in me; but it also seems really irresponsible for such 'fear-mongering'… Yes, it's winter which means snow and ice. But calm down…it's NOT the end of the world.

LOL
Exactly Sister! I want people to be prepared and cautious, but I promise the sky ain't fallin'!
Course I say this and the "governor" of the Commonwealth issues a "state of emergency" for Virginia yesterday at 2pm when there is not a cloud in the sky and the sun is out. *shakes head*

SNOW DAY!!
Got about 2 inches…everything is closed…sun is out and sky is blue, blue.

We got six inches from yesterday afternoon into the wee hours of the morning today, but I am at work. My employer does not believe in weather prohibiting operation. *sigh* Richmond and surrounding counties are all shut down and will be through Monday I imaging. Calling for slim chance of freezing rain and sleet this afternoon, but I have the truck so it is all good.
Stay safe and warm out there browncoats.
