Heidi flipped over down here Tuesday morning then a few minutes later staring at the fire,Heidi this morning on Mom's and with Lauren on the couch.Lauren and her Dad Jason came for a visit,we were getting a new water heater installed,our old one had rust on the bottom and was 17 years old.Jason is moving his Auto Trim shop a few units down,more room,been doing construction there over the holidays,they move in on February 1st.Lauren has sure grown since we lat saw her in November of 2008,they were at our Santa Claus Parade,she is 11 and is grade 6,she showed us the cell phone she got at Christmas,knows Santa is not real anymore,she wants to be a Lawyer,that will take a University education and Law School,loves playing soccer,not so good on skates,Jason was the same way.She is going on a trip to Quebec later in the month,probably a class thing.Heidi had a groom job yesterday,The groomer Michelle brought her home,she was working half a day and going to visit her grandmother,so dropped her off,Heidi rode in a cage.She greeted Jason and Lauren,gave them licks,they are used tot it,they have a 4 year old Golden Retriever Reese,he does the same thing.Jason said they have had groomer in a van come around their street and does grooming from the back of a van,all set up for it.Heidi growled a little when they were here to put in the hot water heater,have played a bit with her today,she as snoozing with me and now over on mom's lap.I think my cold is getting better,mom got Robitussin and some Advil Flu/Cold pills,I was cold and and coughing,went to bed around 9:30.She doesn't understand what is wrong with me,never been sick since she has been here,she still wants to play,I try to oblige her.

Heidi on Thursday evening keeping me company.I am still not feeling the best,stuffed head,coughing,have a sore chest,Heidi knows I am not 100% she stays close to me when i am on the couch.This afternoon,is a dinner for my Uncle's 80th birthday,i am not up to it,I don't want to get into a couching fit there and give it to someone else so will stay home.I have played with her when I can,there are times when I am feeling pretty good like last night and now this morning,get into a coughing fit and not so great.Most nights this week,I have wore sweatshirt and a tshirt to bed to stay warm,been cold.This I the longest period for a cold that I have had since December 26th, I missed a hockey game,probably tomorrow as well,church also.today is like a spring day around 40 degrees,been great to take Heidi for a walk,haven't taken her on one in 2 weeks,hopefully will get over this soon,really frustrating trying to shake this.

Heidi keeping me company last night.Heidi is doing a very good job of this,anytime i go to the couch she gets and lays beside me,I layed down there yesterday,she gave me licks adn then got down beside me.It has took a lot out of me,I think I have lost 7 pounds,feeling tired from not doing much,still coughing,last it was every 2 hours and took a drink of water to help.Heidi came in and greeted me this morning,she cuddles beside me after breakfast then it is down here,been on the couch twice,she comes over and keeps me company.I will keep taking Robitussin but the Advil Flu/Cold pills were making me tired.Have played with her some,she just had her supper after a snooze next to me,she has chewed the Yellow bone in half,will soon need a new toy.Hopefully very soon,I can get out and take her on walks,she will enjoy that.

Heidi curled up by the chair last night.Heidi has been been good keeping me company upstairs and down here when I sit on the couch.We have had some plays of fetch,that makes her happy.Heidi is now curled up beside the chair behind me.I didn't cough so bad last night while sleeping but when I got up I did,getting frustrated with this,Heidi doesn't like me coughing.Mom has gone out to play cards,probably 11:00 p.m. before she is back.It has rained all day,I went out for the first time in awhile since this cold started,had a check to cash at the bank,my legs have weak from not using them the past 2 weeks or so and i get tired from just walking upstairs,this getting better.Supposed to get a little snow tomorrow,about an inch,hope,I can't handle any more than that with the way I have been feeling.I have been taking cough candies and Buckley's in caplet for,hope it helps,still have a stuffed up nose.

Hope you getting to feeling better their is nothing like a good nurse like Heidi to make you feel better. Have you ever heard of Fisherman's Friend they are a menthol cough suppressant lozenges. They work really well for a tickle throat & coughing.
