Sir Poops and Hair Ball: ISWG: When Things Go Awry

Good morning, nice people!
SPAL: I'm still here. Having my ups and downs. My legs wobble now when I stand and walk. But when I hear the word treat, I can't help but do my happy-foodie-dance.

HB: Yup. He's even making out outside when his pooper goes crazy.
SPAL: Well, I've learned a lot since I've been around Mummsy. Never give up when things go awry.

HB: Yeah. A lot of things have done that over the last several months. Her Killer Stilettos MS has more than writing issues with it. So she's working on other manuscripts.

SPAL: And last week, her computer screen was black for three days until Daddy-o fixed it.

HB: Yeah. Then Friday, she was home sick with a sinus and ear infection. 

SPAL: And a week before that, she had a  stye in her eye for three weeks. But Mummsy stayed determined to work on her writing even if it was at 10 and 15 minute intervals.

HB: Yeah. She's even got family issues again that have her driving back and forth     two counties away.
SPAL: I'm like my Mummsy. I keep going and doing no matter what has gone amuck.

We hope everyone gets lots of belly rubs and licks today! And we'll see you, nice people next month.

    So many things get thrown at us. Vowing to keep trying and do better is all that keeps me upright somedays, too. Love seeing SPAL's sweet face still shining. :) My little Eddy is still here, too. I'm grateful for every minute I get to spend with him. Even when he gets me up 3 times in the night for a drink and bathroom break. LOL

    Keep plugging away Sir Poops et al. In time, the awry and amuck will give way to better things.

    I hope SPAL is going better now.

    Life certainly brings huge curveballs our way, doesn't it?
