Rain Then Warm Then Drop
Wednesday, November 11, 2020 at 4:01PM 
Harlow says all in one day it goes to waking up to rain, then it stops, then warmth and by the minute it is getting colder and they say staying colder. Oh well...
Some had baths - well the moms did and I may do Ella after blogging. This always happens after pups get older. I get to play catchup with my own. Instead of down time, I get catch-up. But that's okay.
Dogs were running around like banshees this morning and I kept getting the back end or missed moments but I must admit, I was drinking my coffee and having breakfast so there was a lot of one handed photography.
In 2 weeks Nathan has to go in for angioplasty. As he is having moments going up the stairs or down the stairs they told him to pack a bag. He most likely will be staying after getting checked in. If it gets worse, he is to go to Trillium emerg in Mississauga and they will have him jump the waiting list. Fun stuff. He will be fine after this. No history of heart issues in his family. I can't go into the hospital. I have to drop him off and pick him up. Thank you, Covid - not. I am told he may feel like a new man after this. Let's hope. He is tired all the time and progressively more tired. I get to do all the heavy lifting along with Dennis. We still have statues to bring inside, leaves to rake etc. I am not grooming on the 25th or 26th. First 2 days off in a row but wish I wasn't getting it off for this reason.
Pups will be upstairs by then. Dennis will be sleeping at night vs. day. Another moment we will make it through.
Dogs will live for the moment and enjoy. They show me that every day. Off to wash Ella then do the rest of the blogs. Galleries already built. Just have to upload videos while I groom. LOL

Glad that Nathan is fixing his heart arteries before it becomes a big problem. I have seen too much in my career when people don’t take care of that timely. I’m wishing Nathan an uneventful angiogram/ andioplasty/stenting. Let me know what I can help.
Sylvia:
Thank you... I hope he regains his energy. Peel has ceased elective surgeries and this is actually considered elective but so far Trillium is still going ahead and if he gets worse, I am told to take him to Trillium emergency and they will do it then vs waiting. two weeks and counting.
I wish Nathan the very best as always. I hope he feels a lot better after the procedure. No shovelling snow for him though.
Angela: I had an opportunity to buy a used snow blower and an electric shovel from a friend CHEAP as they head down south and are doing it again this year - oh my and he says we can do it yourself. No money. Poor Dennis is going to be busy if we get snow. :-( Unless you can take a shovel and push it, it aint happening with me. i wonder when we reach 90 if he will give in?
Oh, gosh, waiting is so no fun, and the pandemic makes everything harder. Hugs to you both.
I am sure Nathan will feel like a different person after the angioplasty. I know a few people who have had it. The waiting is hard and this darn COVID makes everything awkward. Trillium is a good hospital too so not to worry.
Darlah, I usually don’t pray often but i will be praying for Nathan. He is family to us. Tenshi also needs him especially nap nap time :)
Covid complicates a lot of things
Darlah: I think Nathan should reconsider. My neighbour had a stent put in his heart a month or two ago and the first thing the Cardiologist said to him is "no snow shovelling". I know that since my neighbour inquired as to who I use to do my snow. We haven't done ours for a few years since another friend had a quadruple bypass at the age of 59 and his Cardiologist said "no-one, absolutely no-one, should shovel snow past the age of 60". Since Ed and I are both in our 70s now, we are not pushing fate.
Good Luck to Nathan's procedure, John and I wish him the best. You must be so busy without him being around to help and taking care of so many pups and Dogs.
Take care
Angela:
I will ask his cardiologist. Dennis and I do the bulk of shoveling already.The reason why I complain about being so tired is Dennis and I actually do the bulk of everything here and I have to admit, I am tired so shoveling is not my idea of fun on my plate this winter. Nathan will take the shovel and push it off the deck. I suspect hes been feeling not well for a long time. Here I thought he was in avoidance when it comes to work.
I think Dennis needs a snowblower. But it won't be this year. To many expenses but I have a friend that is giving me her electric shovel. I hear they don't work so well but better than nothing. She told me if I get out there right after it starts, it works well to clean off the deck. Not sure what it is where you are but they are saying 750 for plowing for the season here. I think that's too much. If I had the money, I can buy a snowblower for less and have it pay for itself in 2 seasons. maybe next year.
Jodi: What is tv? LOL Today I played catch-up on grooming my own dogs inbetween pups. I still have Jeannie, Stone and Truffie to do. Tomorrow if I find the time after the dogs coming for grooming. Nathan catches sleep during the day too much then can't sleep at night. Today he sat outside in his hat and winter coat and read or played a game. Here it is 7pm and i am just started blogs. Pups were fun today - many changes.
Sylvia: Yeah Tenshi LOVES her nap time.
I'm so sorry. Poor Nathan. Thankfully this was caught and being addressed.
Well, if John and I can help in any way, maybe take the dogs for a walk? I don't know but if you can think of some way that we can help while you are down a man, let me know Darlah.
Wishing Nathan all the best for his procedure and for a speedy recovery!
