2. Meanwhile I must admit to feeling a little guilty about going running without him. So I have been sneaking around. I try not to let him see me leave and then I drive somewhere before I start running. I am sure he KNOWS anyway. Makes me feel like a big fat cheater for running without him. He saw me heading to the car today and made a bit of an effort to get up, his ears perked up and his tail started wagging. I feel so lonesome running without him. I am so used to talking to him and patting his head when he comes back to run along side me after he has ran ahead of me for awhile.
3. We had a great time for Halloween last night and I have to admit to over indulging in candy today. UGH but YUM!
I even dressed up last night, here is my little sister, mother and me. I am a belly dancer. I had a costume from back in the day when I took belly dancing lessons. My daughter was a cowgirl princess.
My Dad and my son as a knight in shining armour, and my nephew Keenan.
My aunt and uncle put on a scary scavenger hunt for the candy at her house, all the neighborhood kids got to participate. It ended in her barn, which is where we took the group picture, not pictured are all the men who did the spooking part.
Yup lots of kids on the neighborhood.
Here is what my nephew Van thought of the scary stop.
8 stops and 2 and a half hours later we were back home where I had to attempt to put sugared up kids to bed. Not a problem, they CRASHED!
I am so so sorry about sweet Cola. Having an animal in pain is as bad as a child in pain. Hugs to him and you. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope Cola recovers quickly. What kind of injuries does he have, if you don't mind me asking. I hope it's nothing internal that is causing him so much pain.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a really good time for Halloween and a big turnout. Your poor nephew was not excited :(
Poor Cola. It's good that he at least wants to go with you, but I'm sure as soon as you're gone, he probably lays back down and is thankfully he wasn't asked to run. He probably knows he needs to rest.
ReplyDeleteGlad the rest of Halloween was fun! Trick-or-treaters are too lazy to walk to the end of our street (seriously! And we're just 2 houses from the street I see them on!), so I took cupcakes my husband and the rest of the guys working on the base.
Prudence and Matt Lauer (my dogs) are sending Cola best wishes for a speedy recovery!
Poor Cola. I hope he does start feeling better soon! That Halloween looks awesome!! Jealous!
ReplyDeleteI hate it when one of my animals is in pain or sick. :( It's such a helpless feeling. Is he in casts or anything? Are bones broken or soft tissue torn?
ReplyDeleteI hope Cola heals quickly. It looks and sounds like you guys had a lot of fun on Halloween.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about Cola :( My dog has gone through 2 ACL surgeries and he can only manage to go for 1 mile walks at this point. Hate to see him suffering in pain when he ends up overusing his legs.
ReplyDeleteOH NO...I must go read about Cola :( I am so sad I LOVE COLA!
ReplyDeleteanyways, I am glad you had a great halloween that last pic of your nephew is priceless!!!!!
What a fun Halloween night for you and your family. You took belly dance lessons? Wow! Was it hard? I don't think I could do it, lol.
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking about Cola and hoping that he continues to progress. He probably can't wait until he can go for a run again and be back to his sneaky little self. :-)
Poor Cola. I don't always take Bungee running and I always feel like a cheat when she gets super excited seeing me grab my sneakers, etc. I tend to bribe her with treats to not be mad at me.
ReplyDeleteYou used to belly dance??
What a bummer to not have your awesome running buddy with you! For the record, I am totally envisioning you in a ninja outfit sneaking out the window so that Cola doesn't see you go for a run.
ReplyDeleteLove the picture of your nephew! Too fun!
Oh no!! I'm sorry to hear about Cola! I've been behind on blogs...I'm sorry to have missed this!! Your costumes are awesome!! So cute!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a really fun night! Hope you have your running buddy back sooner than later:)
ReplyDeleteHope Mr Cola Dog is feeling better! I know exactly what you mean about feeling guilty for leaving him. CB knows when I'm going to go running (he know my running shoes I think?) and gets so excited... I feel terrible leaving him behind. I'm sure Cola soon forgets that you are out there running and enjoys resting in a nice warm environment :)
ReplyDeleteLove your Hallowe'en pics. I am so hoping that Cola is continuing to get better and feel better. I am so sad about it all.
ReplyDeleteYour poor nephew!!! That picture did make me laugh though!!!
