Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #1227 (SoD #2348) - Celebrating Satchel's Ninth birthday


Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #1227 (SoD #2348) - Celebrating Satchel's Ninth birthday

Hi Mom, Satchel's ninth birthday was last week, July 17, 2021.

As per usual scheduling, I did very little to celebrate on the 17th because I typically work Saturdays (welcome to the life of an adjunct professor). So on the day itself, I showered her with the usual love and wished her a happy birthday a bunch of times.

We celebrated on Sunday the 18th and really the rest of the week because the cookie was SO MANY calories that I would not let her have it all at once. ELLORY got some, too.

So, for Satchel's birthday, we started our celebrations going to the PET STORE for treats and canned food. I think this was the first time I took BOTH OF THEM into a PET STORE. Oh my stars and garters. Grappling two curious and exuberant dogs with a cart in PETCO was a challenge, and I forgot to put a mask on. Even though I am vaccinated, to set a good example of what taking a public health crisis seriously looks like, AND to protect myself and others against the DELTA VARIANT, I will be wearing a mask from now on, maybe forever.

After PETCO, where they were given treats to munch by the cashier in addition to the ones I bought for later, including Satchel's birthday cookie, I had to stop at a grocery for some probiotic water.

Then we went to PARADISE POINT PARK for the first time since the pandemic!

It would be helpful if Google timeline allowed an easy list to all the times and dates that I visited the place.

It was a good walk. I got a few pictures.

It was a great day, but I wish Satchel would stop getting older.

HER has to live forever.

(Using the wrong pronoun is part of our puppy speak around here.)

Good talk, Mom.

More next time.

Reflect and connect.

Have someone give you a kiss, and tell you that I love you, Mom.

I miss you so very much, Mom.

Talk to you soon, Mom.

NEW (written 1708.27 and 1907.04) NOTE on time: I am now in the same time zone as Google! So, when I post at 10:10 a.m. PDT to coincide with the time of your death, Mom, I am now actually posting late, so it's really 1:10 p.m. EDT. But I will continue to use the time stamp of 10:10 a.m. to remember the time of your death, Mom. I know this only matters to me, and to you, Mom. Dropped "Talk to you tomorrow, Mom" in the sign off on 1907.04. Should have done it sooner as this feature is no longer daily.
