My 3 adult kids all went together and got me a Cocatier, which is a cross between a Cavalier and a Cocker Spaniel. They are trying to breed out the inevitable heart problems Cavaliers are born with. This one (Ginger) is from 2 Cocatiers, so her chances are very good. I couldn't believe they did this for me .... she is adorable .... all white, an auburn blenheim head and a few auburn spots on her back. She's 3 months. She's already perked up my "sit around" life! I've gotten out and walked with her several times a day, and she's wonderful company.
And ..... as usual, I've done something dumb ..... I walked into the bathroom last night, slipped on something on the floor and went flying. I landed on my bum and once again my left foot came crashing to the floor ..... I knew I'd broken that small outside bone on the left foot (which I did 2x when I lived in MD after my knee revision). One thing was different was my toes were somewhat numb and the area across the foot from the ball of the foot was really hurting. So, I'm all wrapped up, self-style, and if that area is still that sore tomorrow I guess I'll have to go to the Emergi-care place across the road .... they have x-ray equipment. Good grief! I'm thankful for good health, but stuff like this seems like it will never end. It's always something!

Congratulations on your new little pup - Ginger sounds adorable and I'm sure you will enjoy the company. That was so thoughtful of your kids to do that for you (an early Mother's Day gift?).

I am sorry to hear of your slip and fall - after you go to the Emergi-care place will you let me know how you are doing?

I look forward to hearing from you later.

So happy for you, Abby @amberpep, that you now have a sweet puppy. Sounds like a really neat mix. Will you post a picture? I'm sure she is super cute. So neat your kids got her for you -- how wonderful. Glad you will have a little companion.

Really sorry to hear about the fall. Like Teresa @hopeful33250, I'd love to hear an update after you see the doctor.

@amberpep Hello Abby:

The other day I saw a lady walking her puppy and you came to mind. How are you and your new puppy doing (have you named your puppy yet)? I hope that your foot is healing from the fall you had earlier this month.

I would enjoy hearing from you.

Teresa
