The NIGH****CHMAN - Fri/Sat Edition 12/18-19

Good afternoon everyone, from my office Christmas party.  It starts at 4 PM.  It is 3:59 and I am here with one other person.  The others will slowly drag in.  The boss is paying them to party from 5 to 6.  No booze.

Returned Macon to Greyhounds Unlimited today.  It was a tough decision, but he started going in the house, sometimes within 20 minutes of coming in from outside.  They were kind enough to take him back.  Hope they find him a nice home with someone who can train him.  I have no luck training dogs, but if they come to me trained, they stay with me loved.

Gotta work a little bit tomorrow night at the full time job.  Doing it so my friend can take the night off.

Gonna try to make peanut brittle this weekend for my son.  Not a bad thing for me, as I don't like it.  Every year at church we have a silent auction and he always gets outbid on the peanut brittle.  So I decided to make him some for Christmas.

Just so you know, you need to 
TAKE YOUR VITAMINS  & SUPPLEMENTS and make sure you get your daily allotment of PROTEIN.

If you are new to the board, this link explains what the NIGHT WATCHMAN is (if you are interested).  Otherwise, just read on, you will probably figure it out anyway.

Update on my surgery recovery.........I had my 2 week post op visit today.  The hematoma that developed on by buttocks popped while the surgeon was removing the steri-strips.....bleed quite a lot....my compression garment is a mess.  This of course makes it a little extra sore to sit or lay on my back so the next few days will be interesting.   Things should really start to improve though.
Thanks for the prayers.

You remind me of making peanut brittle with my Mother, it was her favorite candy. Have you ever made it with almonds or cashews? Or a combination of the 3? That puts a new spin on it!  Here's hoping your sugar cracks!  LOL!

I'm sorry to hear about Macon. Sometimes we just have to make those decisions that best for everyone. I'm sure he'll find another home.

 George....I am sorry that you and Mary had to return Macon.    Potty training older dogs can be done but it is a lot of work convincing them that they can NOT potty in the house.     They almost have to be crated for months to be a success and then even then sometimes....they don't get it.    Praying for you guys and your other greyhound that you won't miss him too much !!!


Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CAN NOT CHANGE;   COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS THAT I CAN;  AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE !!!!    THIS IS MY DAILY PRAYER.
