I just read that you should never ever apologize for not blogging....apparently readers do not like this so from this moment going forward I will never again apologize for not blogging, altho that guilty side of me always wants to. But no, not going to do it.
My little Cinder had dental work done on Friday. She had 8 teeth pulled, 4 up and 4 down. Now I know the first question is..."how is she going to eat." The good news is, that all 8 of the teeth were her front teeth, leaving her back teeth aka grinders, in tact. The grinders are just that, the teeth that grind and chew. Right now I have her eating soft foods, but so far she has had no trouble handling anything that has gone in her mouth. Not only did she get her teeth pulled and cleaned but she had 2 non-cancerous tumors removed on her body. When they brought her out to me after all this surgery, she looked at me with a "what the hell did you do to me?" look. She wasn't happy at all and pretty much ignored me for almost 24 hours. But she has perked up and is close to resembling the dog I took into the vet, minus 8 teeth, 2 tumors, and with the remainder teeth sparkling clean...Hallelujah!! Her breath was a "real knock you over crappy air flow smell" prior to the surgery. But no more and just $$$'s later she has a minty clean mouth.
It is definitely Fall here. Last night we had our first light frost, pretty much wiping out the remainder of my flowers. But that's OK, I am done with gardening by this time of the year. I have carried my camera with me whenever I go anywhere, trying to capture the stunning colors that are only here for such a short time. We have had quite a bit of wind lately which makes focusing challenging. But I managed to capture a few beauties through my lens....
The berries are just wonderful in the Fall.
A little accidental color match in a parking lot...
Glorious leaves in yellows, reds and oranges....
I love when these leaves turn color in the Fall, climbing up the tree trunks, but I honestly think it might be poison ivy...look but don't touch...
I hope that you have been enjoying your Fall color.
Bittersweet October. The mellow, messy, leaf kicking, perfect pause between the opposing miseries of summer and winter
Until next time......
Poor Cinder, but glad she is a new improved self - including breath. Now, I'm wondering if she'll need implants ($$$$)? I love seeing the colors of your fall - ours is nearly finished, and snow is due this week. I can't complain (much) because we usually have snow on the ground by now. If it does snow, I'll go out with my sand and seeds to sow dreams for next summer. Take Care, Deanna.
ReplyDeletePoor pup!! Hope she's feeling ok and enjoying her soft food!! We had our first below freezing morning, ahh the crisp feel is back!
ReplyDeleteDogs are very forgiving. :-D Our color is in the very beginning stages of turning, unusually late. But we did have a frost and freeze so maybe now we'll get some action. Your photos with the beauty of fall will have to do me for now. And they are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteglad the Pup came thought fine and no morebad breath for you! You autumn colour are wonderful as are all your images.
ReplyDeleteI bet that is a huge improvement in Cinder's breath :) Lovely fall color, ours should be prime this week, which is great since I just got back from Pennsylvania where the color was prime last week.
ReplyDeleteYou had me with the polka dot coffee cup.........love the post.
ReplyDeleteCinder's breath couldn't get anything but better - know what I'm sayin?
Seriously! HA!
That looks just like the poison ivy that got me last year! Pretty fall colors today..I am enjoying seeing autumn through everyone else's camera lens. So sorry about pup's mouth, but glad he's ok now.
ReplyDeleteI feel for Cinder on having dental work...not fun at all. So glad the tumors weren't cancerous. - Wow your fall foliage is just stunning! I just love the various types of leaves and shades of color here. That one in the parking lot is cool with it's matching strip on the pavement.
ReplyDeleteYou have given us some beautiful Fall leaves to enjoy. We aren't quite to that point yet here on the coast. But, maybe we will get there by and by.
ReplyDeleteMy grandson continues to challenge me about " career path" ideas . . ..
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking vet medicine . . . . might be a suggestion.
Your Cinder and our Snickers have had benign tumor issues.
Wondering why this is occurring in them . . .
Gorgeous color in your fall photos . . .
Love your colors, Deanna. Glad Cinder is smelling better. :-) I agree, no need to apologize for not blogging, but I'm always inclined to acknowledge a long drought too. Not for the (4 in my case) readers, but for myself, to note that the the reason isn't due to the nothing going on, but instead the too much to boil down into a blog post. Whatever the reason, sometimes it's a worthy subject in itself.
ReplyDeleteLove the colour match capture!
ReplyDeleteLove the colour match capture!
ReplyDeleteLove the parking lot find and hope Cinder is on the mend.

A beautiful array of fall color, I especially love your parking lot image! Most of our color is now carpeting the ground but it was certainly lovely while it lasted. Hope Cinder is feeling better.
ReplyDeleteThose Autumn colours are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOut looking for you Deanna! my reader has fizzled out on me for some reason, so was just checking in to see how your season is going! No apologies.... but aren't you due for a new post. LOL
ReplyDeleteWhere are you my friend? This post had me shaking my head. We had to do the exact same thing with our furry friend....sigh. Not fun. Merry Christmas if I don't talk to you before then?! Laurie @ Pride in Photos
