Of the several things I'm sad over missing out, the biggie disappointment is the trip to Texas to see Cannon and Annie's puppies. The good news though, is that one of his puppies is right here in Central Florida!
Amber lives with her buddy Kara, and parents Arlene and Bob. Arlene asked our friend Shanna to bring herself and Amber for a visit shortly after I was home from the hospital. Here prances in Ms Amber, about 11 weeks old I think; me in a hospital bed, casts on both arms, hospital type sicky smells and strange equipment around. Ms Amber just pranced around and took it all in stride. Including the home made wheelchair ramps!
About a month after I starting ambulating, Shanna came and got me one day for an outing to visit Arlene and Amber.
I'd been going stir crazy, 4 months laid up staring at the walls of this house or the hospital. This was the greatest outing, and I'm so glad that Shanna and Arelene put it together.
Shanna picked me up and we went up to Arlene's to visit and play with Amber. Kara, Amber's 4 year old Terv buddy and Amber were so much fun. Kara didn't like my walker at all, and Amber thought perhaps she should protect everyone also. However, puppy curiousity and yummy treats won out. It wasn't a blink before Amber decided I was just a person, all be it maybe a bit funny looking.
You can really tell that Kara and Amber are good buddies, here they are taking a rest break after showing me their version of the run around the something game.
After we played and visited; Shanna and Arlene took me to this German deli in the neighborhood. We had a wonderful lunch, and and even better desert. Yumm!
Here is Ms Amber giving out some puppy kisses to her mom Arlene.
I kind of like being a grandparent!
