Wordless Wednesday - Hmmm....I Think Fred's Feeling Better

Okay, you can't expect me to be wordless, I've been without the internet for 4 1/2 days!! My new modem arrived and well, you know it wasn't going to be just an easy "hook it up and go" set-up.  No of course it had to involve being on the phone with a technician to work through the issues.  But it's over now and I'm free to blog and pin ('cause I'm officially addicted to Pinterest now) like crazy!

You don't realize just how much you depend on the internet until you don't have access anymore.  Between having no internet and camera, I think I was in severe withdrawal! lol
  
Freddie really seems to be getting better.  I first noticed it when we got home from the Detroit Lions home opener game on Sunday night.  He was actually wagging his tail and played outside with Gloria.  It was only for about 10 minutes, but that's the first he's played or even wagged his tail since the beginning of August! His body isn't hot and red anymore.  Just his feet are red and his eyes are still a little swelled and yucky and he's still itchy.  But not like he was.  I kept saying I just wanted him back to his normal "little bugger" self.  Well, he is!


I took this picture this morning.  That's just another recipe I should have copied into my book.

All these pictures are with my new camera.  It's a small Nikon Coolpix I bought last weekend.  My good camera has been sent back to Nikon under warranty as the flash shorted out.  It sounded like firecrackers going off when I tried to take a picture.  Not good.  So it could be weeks or I'm sure months, before I see that camera again and I had to have one by Sunday as the football game was going to be a very special one and I wanted pictures.  I was going to meet a blogger friend at the game during half time!

So Sunday after 2 1/2 hours on the 401 and stopping at every On Route to pee.


'Cause that's just the way it is when you get older. Travelling is all about timing your pee breaks.


We made it to the tunnel.


I'm still nervous going through the tunnel but I just try not to think about the water that you see seeping in some of the cracks.

Half an hour later we were in the stadium...


and I was posing with Roary.

I was anxious waiting for half time so I could stand in front of the Pro Shop and wait to meet that special blogger friend.


The stadium was packed and I was nervous wondering if we could really find each other in all these thousands of people.  But we did. 
Standing outside the Pro Shop in a sea of people I heard "Janet? Janet is that you!"
And there she was.


My blogger friend.
Yep,


It's Caren from Cat Chat with Caren and Cody and Dakota's Den!!   What a wonderful, beautiful woman!  I was so happy to finally meet her in person.  It felt like I'd known her forever and we could have talked for hours!  We chatted a little past half time. Then we said our goodbyes, hugged and went back to our seats to join our husbands for the second half of the game.  I am still in awe!  It was just so exciting to meet her in person!  Caren, your the best!

So, Freddie's getting better, I have another camera for pictures, I finally met Caren and my internet is back just in time for me to display my new backpack that Sarge's Momma made for me for the back to school bash!! If you want to see all the cool back packs just pop over to Sarge's blog.


What a great job!  It is so me. :)

All is right with the world.........for now.

Queue music................


"Stop the music! STOP THE MUSIC!!"


"What am I Momma?  Chopped liver?!"

"Oh, right.  Sorry Gloria."
"And Gloria did this"


Queue music...................

And yes, the Lions won! Yay!

  11. We're so glad you got your internet back and especially that Freddie's feeling better! Sounds like some kind of seasonal allergy - this is one of those times when you're glad to see cold weather come in! :)

    Isn't it wonderful how blogging introduces us to new friends? And it's so much fun to meet them in person!

    With your internet woes, you may not have seen Molly the Wally's blog on Sunday - we nominated you for Share It Sunday, and sweet Molly featured one of your posts we submitted to her. Here's the link: http://bit.ly/OfVS6C . :D

  13. I am so glad that Fred is feeling better. So do you think it was the plant he ate?

    Ah yes the tunnel. Have been through that many times. Years ago you could occasionally spot water dripping. As a kid, I used to freak out about it. lol The worst is getting stuck in traffic in there.

    Yay for internet and meeting bloggie friends!

  19. You mean to tell me that tunnel is still seeping water? We moved to Florida from Michigan 20 years ago and probably haven't been in that tunnel to Canada for at least 25 years (used to go shopping over there on weekends) and the tunnel was "wet" then and scared me to death. So we usually ended up taking the Ambassador Bridge whenever possible.

    So glad to hear that Freddie is getting back to his normal hap-pee self again. Keep up the good work, Fred. And, Gloria, a special hug to you too.

  20. YEA... Freddie is Better!!! I know about that travel and PEE stuffs.. my mom Pees every 87 minutes... or LESS... and panics when she goes places where she doesn't now WHERE the potties are.

  21. Wow! Sounds like you had one heck of a weekend! Glad Freddie is feeling better, hope to meet Caren myself someday, glad the Lions won (good for them!), and yes, Gloria is cute!

  22. Alanis would like to tell Gloria that such is life--the dogs that cause the most trouble get the most blog attention but good manners are superior in the long run. (At least that's my translation of what she said.)

  23. Hey Fred, Hey Gloria, Jet here. Hi Miss Janet.

    What a great post... congrats on the Lions, much prettier than the Dolphin situation. Soooo glad to read that Freddie is on the mend. Gloria looks like her usual happy go lucky self. My human grandpa used to design and mass produce backpacks! Yours looks great! How cool to meet another blogpal... :)

  34. Yea! So glad to have you back. And even better to hear that Freddie's on the mend.

    You sure are having a bad run with technology. I hope your camera gets fixed soon but these are great pictures anyway. Love the one with you and Freddie snuggled on the couch and Gloria's protest picture.

    And how cool that you got to meet Caren. That's a great picture of you two!

    ReplyDelete
  35. That's a very impressive trick, Gloria. My mom person is jealous that you got to meet Caren. They've tried to meet up a couple of times and it always falls through.

    I'm glad that Fred seems to be on the road to health.

  39. I'm glad Freddie is feeling better. Stetson started itching again, but it's not that bad right now I started him on his fish oil pills to see if that helps and I think I'm going to change his food again.

    Good win for your Lions. They made it exciting!

    Happy WW!

    ReplyDelete
  43. I'm so glad Fred is feeling better!

    And I am super jealous that you got to meet Caren! She is just one of the sweetest ladies. I was really disappointed I didn't get to see her at BlogPaws this summer!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Yay Bassetmomma,

    So happy you're back online and super happy that Freddie's starting to feel better too!! It's always a good sign when Mischief resumes - even my Mum says that!! So I figure I should let her know each day I'm feeling well!! Tee Hee

    So awesome that you got to meet Caren, we love her too, we were excited that we were going to meet her at Blopaws but then she got sick, hopefully one day it will happen, and hopefully one day we'll get to meet you and the gang too?

    Wags to all,

    Your pal Snoopy :)
