Thank you again for the love, ladies. For those asking, my stepfather is now at home and hasn't been admitted in several weeks. *touches wood* He has at least one big surgery to get through but not right away. While his body isn't completely ok, he seems to have recovered his mind in the past month. He's been exceptionally grumpy this past week which is a good sign. I'm hoping for a medical drama-free summer! (And his medical team seems to think he should be ok with how they're managing his health and symptoms.) Thank you for asking. Foster pupdate: all four (yes, four ) dogs my mother was fostering (it got a little cray-cray there but there were no other foster families left at the time) at the start of the year have all been adopted out. It took quite some time and we even had one return but we managed to see it through while my stepfather's health declined. No doubt this extra "chore" added tiredness and stress to the situation but we got there. She's since been on a break from fostering for obvious reasons. Luna, her foster fail chihuahua, has spent a lot of time with me as the situation unfolded and remains the most adorable dog in the story of the universe (totally unbiased observation, of course). Leaving you all with a little photo from her in early spring because that face + blossom = chi-chi soup for the soul. Many licky kisses from her to all the scrappy people (no, seriously, she's a social butterfly who adores humans)! kitbop I've read elsewhere about your mother's passing and the bittersweet inheritance of the much-wanted family photos. I wanted to let you know how sorry I am about the price tag attached to finally having them. I hope that with time, your heart heals and the SB collections to use with some of them present themselves. Big hugs from across the pond!

sleepingbooty So glad you're back! I've missed your insightful (and like mom) occasionally snarky commentary. I'm sorry to hear about your family troubles. It's hard to take care of aging folks and there doesn't seem to be a useful manual on how to go about it, let alone get support for it. Just have to soldier on and hope for the best while life is doggedly goes on anyway which is maddening in the thick of it all. Sending you lots of good vibes and hope that your stepdad's recovery continues. Luna is beyond adorable. I can see why she was a foster fail. I would very much like to give her squishes and let her lick my face while telling her who's the best girl. What a little love bug.
