Feeling a bit better - Santa photos

Just a quick update - thanks for your concern and comments, I really appreciate every one!  I made it through the night pretty easily, and this morning I'm feeling a little better.  I'm still going to keep the wait and see plan for now, though.  I won't take any chances, if the pain gets worse, I'll pack up and start driving,  but so far, so good today.

I was walking over to the dumpsters last week, and who should I see?  A man with a white beard and a red RV!
He said his name was Santa.
 
Santa's Post-Christmas hide-out.

Katie likes her orange squeaky toy guy right in the middle of her chew toy.  She gets them together, then starts chewing on the chew stick.  Maybe she thinks she's sharing it with the little orange guy?
 

Bless us, O Lord, and these our gifts...

Oh, Man, I love these seeds!
 
Quit taking my picture!  Let me eat in peace!
 
 Sweet Katie, resting outside on her rug.

From Me and My Dog, have a great Wednesday, everyone!  :)

  1. Hopefully you continue to improve. Something you ate? Gastritis? Diverticulitis?
    (too many "itises")

    Didn't take "Santa" long to get busy with his desert vacation. That guy always did impress me. Wowsers!

    Take care.

  2. Glad you are feeling a bit better...hopefully nothing serious. I would love to see the inside of Santa's rig..maybe one day if you are "nice"?..lol...take lots of pics. Those little ground squirrels can eat you out of house and home if you are not careful...but they are so cute.

  4. Have you considered just going to a walk in clinic? They could do blood work and maybe tell if something was going on that needs attention. Seems like a a long time to have continued pain.
    I know you are getting a ton of unsolicited advice! We all think we are drs. in our other lives. :))

  7. Glad you're feeling better. I think it's going around here, too. I was sick for several days with stomach pain and all that goes with it. Feeling better. Back is bad, again. Doctor says he wants to try one more shot. If it doesn't last more than the last one, I need to go in and discuss options with him. In the meantime--got a Mobile RV guy to come and find the leak in the trailer. Fortunately, I keep everything in bins in the cabinets so the stuff in them didn't get wet, but I can't lift them to put them back so I closed the door and won't think about the mess until I'm able to do something about it.

    Keep us posted about your health. Pats to Katie.

  10. Hi there! Good to hear from you and glad you're feeling better. Love the pics! And yes, I know you're getting tons of unsolicited advice as has been pointed out, but I've got to throw my 2 cents in. I had a very similar story going years ago, waxing/waning pain, not that bad, probably something I ate since it wasn't a virus. A friend suggested I eat oatmeal, bland diet for awhile. It helped! A lot! Pain was mild enough to actually run around a bit. I was at the library, top of the stairs when blind, shooting pain hit without warning. I passed out, took a little old man with me down the stairs ('unbeknownst' to me at the time) and 2 hours later had a ruptured appendix removed along with some lower intestine that was "blocking" their way. Be careful - especially if you decide to drive. OK? Hope you're all better and nothing comes of it. Love and virtual hugZ to you and miss adorable Katie. Happy New Year too!

  12. DSD is right be careful. Don't let that go to long. Now I will keep quiet about it.
    Love the picture of Katie and her orange toy. Pups are such funny little things. A little while ago Fred ran in put his head on my knee to say good night and ran to his man cave. Does it every night.

    I LOVE your photos - the squirrel ones cracked me up! :)
    I got a gift card for a new camera for Christmas, and I have looked on your blog to see what camera you use (the Nikon Coolpix, right?) - You always post wonderful photos, so hope to get a camera like yours.

  15. Glad you are feeling better but don't take any chances.

    Your photos tonight made me laugh...they are all funny. What a great cation (and cature) on the squirrel. And Miss Katie is looking lovely as always. Our grandson got a new little puppy and brought it over to visit me today - he's so cute.

  16. GEEZ...wish you could correct comments on blogger...I meant to say "caption" and "capture". Maybe my "P" key is not working right.

  21. Today's the 8th - could you maybe update if you're feeling good? Or, does your silence mean you went to the hospital?
