Wonder #70
 

I wonder at how tired I am from 2 nights and a day with granddoody. Whew, little guy wears me out. Had my usual Friday night movie night with my daughter, and then last night babysat for them so that they could spend the evening with Son-in-law's father and step mommy.

I wonder that it's been fairly nice yesterday and today. I have a lake in my driveway, but there is a plenty of snow everywhere. What a mess it will be when a thaw comes! We have had snow on the ground since November for the first time in many years.

I wonder how excited I am to be going to Hearts United for Animals next weekend. Daughter is going with me. We are taking a bunch of supplies to donate to them. We're leaving Friday afternoon, spending the night in a motel in Nebraska City (oh woohoo) and then heading on to Auburn, NE the next morning. ALL weather permitting of course. Never know when snowstorms are coming lately.

I wonder how it will feel to walk into a facility filled with rescued, abused doggies looking for homes. But they keep the ones that aren't physically or emotionally available for adoption. They keep them in their 'Sanctuary for Sweethearts".

I wonder at how excited I am to hold as many of those doggies as I can and kiss them and hug them and love them up. :)

I wonder how excited I was to see Telly, a dachsund, finally find a wonderful home. Telly is paralyzed in the back and has special 'wheels' to get around, and boy does he fly! Here is sweet little Telly. http://hua.org/Dogs-For-Adoption/Telly.html And here is the website of the family who adopted him. http://www.elleon.com/telly.htm

LOL and sorry, here is the website where you can see a video of Telly running around like crazy chasing balls with the other doxies they adopted from HUA. The video is about half way down the page. http://www.elleon.com/telly_winter0708.htm

I wonder how cute it is that they call the red doxie Don King because of the fur sticking up in the air! LOLOL

I wonder how Ellie is doing. I hope she's opened up how she feels to her significant other. ((Ellie)) :hug:

I wonder how BJ is doing and how her sweet furbabies are. :hug:

I wonder how sweetiepie Wren is doing with her grieving process. We all so understand the pain of losing a precious pet. ((Wren))

I wonder how nice it is to see Abbie post so often. :hug:

I wonder how Nohope is doing with her precious baby. It was so nice to read about her romping in the yard! ((Nohope))

I wonder where David is? :hug:

I wonder how every sweet person in here is doing today. :grouphug:

I wonder if I'll be invited to Mr. Cooper's wedding to the hussy. :D

I wonder if Doody knows I can just feel her excitement through the screen. :D

I wonder if she knows I hope she has a great time there

I wonder is she knows, if all goes well, I'm going to Utah this summer to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. I've adopted a dog and will get to see him in person. They even have a Benton House there ;)

I wonder how little monkey is feeling :hug:

I wonder if Curious knows I got this pic in an email and thought of her right away. It was titled "Monkey in Paradise "

http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...inParadise.jpg

I wonder if I can extra special hugs to Wren and NoHope :hug:

I too wonder if Alffe is angry with me :(

I wonder if this will make her smile :D

http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...t/DSCF0246.jpg

I wonder if that pic is going to be too big, it sure looks it :confused:

I wonder if I can leave :grouphug: for the room and get back to doing taxes :o

Oops, I wonder how you post a Power Point Slide. I have a good IRS one :D

OMG I wonder at how cute Hooper is! What an adorable face!

I wonder at what an awesome place Best Friends is! I wonder if BJ is sponsoring a pet or if she is adopting one and taking him home.

Yes, I wonder too at how excited both my daughter and I are and hope and pray the weather holds out next weekend.

I wonder if I can tell BJ that I'm sure Alffe would never be mad at us! We're just too darned cute and sweet. :D

I wonder why I forgot the Dachsunds for Dummies book at my daughter's house. She gave it to me to look it over. We were laughing because I told her that they are so much like hot water bottles in the bed under the covers! And the book says exactly that, and that is why doxie lovers fall in love with them, LOL.

I wonder at how funny granddoody was last night when he just wouldn't go to sleep. I heard noises and went in to check. He was in the corner of his bed and had ripped up a new book I brought him. I said, "Are you mad at grandma?" He said, "No grandma." I said, "Why did you rip up the book!?" He said....."because." LOLOL!

I wonder at how exasperating it can be when they suddenly start saying over and over... "What's that? What's that? What's that?" :rolleyes:

I wonder at how well Doody knows me.....:D

I wonder if BJ knows that Hooper always makes me smile...thanks!

I wonder if the eagles will be able to raise a new batch....

I wonder if I can leave hugs for the room....:grouphug:

I wonder if girlie knows that I have many hoopers on my desk top....I wanted a picture of your breed of doggy close to me if I could not have one for my own....
I wonder if I can give hope a big hug and encourage her to be brave, knowing that she is not alone....and never will be....
I wonder if I can tell you guys that my sisters and I threw a surprise 50th wedding anniversary party for my parents...what fun!
I wonder if waves ever reads here anymore...:Wave-Hello:
I wonder if I can say that I was not doing well yesterday...but am much better today....
bizi

I wonder if I can wonder a short wonder and tell Bizi I'm glad she's feeling better :hug: and that she had a good time at her parents

I wonder if I should walk Hooper, take a shower, and get ready to work another 13 hours tomorrow :thud:

I wonder if I can let you all know that my niece (17) called me last week and took me to lunch...her treat!!

I wonder if you know that she made my day!!!

I wonder if I can say that I also played with my little niece (16months) this weekend... when they went to leave she wouldn't go until she found me to give me a hug...

I wonder how she knew I was down the hall on the phone... It was so cute...she sat in the hall waiting on me, just looking up at me...when I hung up the phone... she reached for me.

I wonder that there is nothing more wonderful in the world, for me, than a hug from a child.

I wonder if the Alffe's are escaping the cold again... :D

I wonder if Bizi is back in cajun country?

I wonder if I can wish Doody and daughter a safe trip.. hug those puppies for me!!

I wonder if I can say that Hooper is just precious!!!! Thank you for sharing his lovely face!!!

I too wonder where David is??? David... oh David....

I wonder how Wren, Nohope, Looking4Hope, KathyM, ckepi, Feelingoofy, CTenaLouise, Ellie, SpanishMoss, WhoMoi, Addy, CoolAngel26, Lara, and so many more are doing????

I wonder if can just leave :hug::hug:for all and go for now... I'm feeling chatty and this could get really long...

:hug:
Abbie

Blah. Blah blah blah. LOL. I wonder that I'm so tired I laid my head down on my desk today and fell asleep. :rolleyes:

I wonder that I've always been one to love winters...bundle up, stay warm inside, snuggle with my cats. But I succumb to the wish that spring would come sooner than soon. This weather is crazy. Though, this winter is like the winters we had growing up in Iowa. Snow on the ground allllll winter.

I wonder that I'm too tired to even be excited about the trip to see all the precious doggies, but the excitement will rear its head. Friday will be here soon. And yes, I will love up those precious babies for everyone here and take pictures too. :)

I wonder when BJ is going to go to that wonderful shelter she shared with us.

I wonder how much I love that little Hooper. Hooper, Cooper, such wonderful babies. :D

I wonder if I should post a couple of the pictures my daughter emailed me today. The relative of one of the nurses she works with...she took in a baby pig because the mother died from the freezing weather. And she has a dachsund with new puppies, and the little piggy has become part of the family! She takes care of that little pink pig just like her baby doxies! It's so cute.

I wonder if I can leave love and hugs for everyone and go take a hot bath and crash.

I wanna see! I wanna see!

I wonder if nohope (Honey) will get to see......:D

I also wonder if doody will please post a pic. so we all can see....

I wonder if Looking4 is feeling any better today....:hug:

I wonder if the snowplows can handle all this...:eek:

I wonder if doody will be able to go this weekend...

I wonder if our plane will fly in the morning....:o

I wonder if Vicky know I am sending her love and best wishes.
I wonder if Alffe knows I hope she and Mr. Alffe have a fun, joyous trip and I sure hope she takes her little computer :p
I wonder if Doody knows I hope she has a much better day and feels much better ..... gotta' get ready to see the doggies :D Wish I could
I wonder how Honey's doggie is doing. I'm praying for him.
I wonder how Mr and Mrs Moi are.
I wonder if dear Abbie is doing well.
I wonder if Cool Angel knows I keep chocolate stored in my freezer just for her and Curious (s-h-h-h-h-h-h ....I don't want Curious to know that. I'm afraid of a raid :winky: I wonder what lots of us would do without Curious ... I don't want to know. I couldn't)
I wonder if Me BP? knows how much I love hearing from her.
I wonder if spring will ever come.
:grouphug:

i wonder if wren knows she will never be without me? well..as long as she lets me outta the frezeer after nabbing choccy. :p

i wonder if i will wonder more later?

I wonder if I can leave this beautiful email for the few :o people who haven't received it ........

How To Dance In The Rain

It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80's, arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am.

I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would to able to see him.
I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound .

On exam, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.

While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife.

I inquired as to her health. He told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer's Disease. As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now.

I was surprised, and asked him, 'And you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are?'

He smiled as he patted my hand and said, 'She doesn't know me, but I still know who she is.'

I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm, and thought, 'That is the kind of love I want in my life.'

True love is neither physical, nor romantic. True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.

With all the jokes and fun that is in e-mails, sometimes there is one that comes along that has an important message. This one I thought I could share with you.

The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have.


'Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain.'

I wonder if I can tell wren, it's wonderful....you should post it on the Alz.forum..& the Caretakers. :hug:

I wonder if I can tell Doddy there's no set time to go to Utah yet. The partners are giving me a hard time about taking off

I wonder if Curious knows that it's okay not to reply. Many times I can't think what to say but I read everything, except the ones with the little basketball on them, never know what's going to turn on the light :confused: And then when I do think of something by the time I get to posting it, it left my brain.

I wonder if Alffe know that I'm hoping she has a wonderful trip. But that I will miss that dancing frog :( And thanks for always being there for me :hug:

I wonder how Hooper's going to do at doggie day care tomorrow. I'm more nervous than she is :o

I wonder if I should wonder more later, long day, long night :thud:

I wonder if I can leave :grouphug: for the room

I wonder if it will ever quit snowing... :eek:

More $#%@ snow to shovel... I'm sick of it :mad:

CLick to Enlarge, if you dare :p

Attachment 2438
Edited to add: I'm off to shovel some more... you can see where I left off :Sigh:

They say physical exercise is good for venting anger.... I didn't that it would cause it though... I am so angry... I am ****** off at my life... at everything... I hate the snow... I hate my life... I'm sick off it and I'm ******....

I wonder if I can apologizing for trashing any feel good thoughts on this thread....

I'm too old and I'm a loser... at life and everything else. :mad:

Funniest thing (yeah sure, you betcha) I didn't go to that place for physical therapy this morning BECAUSE IM ANGRY.

Anyhow - :grouphug: - Looking4hope, it WILL quit snowing and spring WILL come.
In the meantime, you can talk here all you want. We're just glad to hear you and see you. We love you.
AND .... I'm older than you are :p

How'd Hooper do at daycare today? First timer?

I wonder if Doody and daughter are having a whole bunch of fun with the puppies.........

I also wonder how Hooper did at Day care.....

I wonder if Cooper is exhausted at Camp....Holly is there...:wink:

I wonder about the draught Florida is having...conserve water signs everywhere...

I wonder if it really will get up to 50 degrees at home tomorrow....
