Phred is HOME!!!!!

[slick]

It feels a bit like I'm being *picked on* here!

Phred, this comment has bothered me all night and I just have to put my 2 cents worth in here.

Speaking strictly for myself, I'm sorry if what I posted is making you feel this way. It certainly wasn't my intention. You have done so much for other people and that little care package is our humble way of trying to give back. We can't be there to help you in other ways so really this our only option. Think of it as us sending you little parts of ourselves. Let's see, you've got a little piece of my hair, part of Staci's nose, part of Zippy's ear...... well, you know what I mean. Please accept the gift along with all the love that comes with it.

Now, about the hike....1.13 miles is great....don't think I could make it that far. It will take some time for you to get back to where you were. Have patience my dear boy. We are with you every "step" of the way.

Well, Phred, WE ARE like a bunch of 'ol hens clucking around you..........so pick, pick, pick..............yup, you are right.

But along with pick, pick, comes hugs, hugs, hugs!

So don't forget to brush your teeth, eat your vegetables and stand up straight

And make sure you have clean underwear on before you leave the house!

And make sure you have clean underwear on before you leave the house!

...and Mom always used to say "Make sure you go before you leave!

ROFL !! That remark made me laugh so hard: it is exactly what my own mom said to us when we were kids

LOL! So, it's universal! What were our mother's thinking? Wonder if moms of the new generation are keeping this time honored tradition alive!

Phred, woo hoo! Now that's a walk! Good job! Now put your feet up and enjoy the kids and a comfy cozy Saturday!

As one famous comdiains said you say it then you do it in an accident.

Please accept the gift along with all the love that comes with it.

I have read somewhere that it is as important to accept help as to give it.
It gives others the same kind of feeling you get when you help others.

We are all in this life together and doing the best we can
but need to rely on friends and family to get through.

It helps the givers in ways you have to know about.

I think, maybe, I'm starting to understand the Meaning of The Gift ...
and to appreciate the Love that travels with it.

"Thank You, Friends" isn't nearly enough ... but I'm not sure what else to offer.

And from the FurKids ~ Cinder, Smokey, Boots, and Bowser ~
a "Thank You, Pet Talkers" is offered ...
as The Gift will become their Medical Safety Blanket.

I've developed LES ...
time to go take a Hike.

{{{Hugs}}} from Phred

I'm not sure that we can give back to you the love that you have given tenfold! But I'd be happy if we could return it by half

Lesson from my Mom on being gracious... "Just smile and say Thanks!"
Sooooooooo glad to hear how well you're doing, Phred! Temp's supposed to drop a bit, so be sure to wear a hat & scarf & gloves and don't forget the boots!

[slick]

You know Phred, this whole thing has been quite a learning experience for me too. Here I am preaching volumes about graciously accepting gifts from others......I should listen to my own advice!!! I've had problems with the "receiving" thing my whole life so I know exactly where you are coming from.

Anyway I'm glad that you finally understand where we are coming from.

To the organizers of this little venture....I thank you for including me. It does my heart good.

[Cinder & Smoke]

We all had a nice Hike at the BigLake Park this afternoon ...

1.44 miles on the GPS for Bowz and me ... Cinder & Smokey put on on
at least an extra mile of running around ...
we ALL took a nap when we got back home!

Weekend looks a lil ruff for hikin ... promise of rain Staurday morning changing to
SNOW with 6" expected by Sunday morning ...
Sunday Afternoon is a mystery for now.

You got that right! Sounds like your supposed to get much more snow than us though (hehe you can have it).
Sounds like you and the dogs had a great hike. Glad you feel good enough to get out like that, means you must be getting better
Lots of {{{HUGS}}}

ATTENTION PTers



Phred has a GPS in his possession.

That is a gadget that lets you know where you are and how far you move on the planet.

This may be a good thing or a bad thing.


"Geez, I went 1.83 miles today.....I think I can do 75 tomorrow...."

Phred.

Leave the GPS at home and smell the flowers, look at the leaves and enjoy your walks.
