All Mad

October 29th, the official end of Mad's rehab. It's been a long road!

Cellophane

Mari and I went to see Chicago at TPAC with John O'Hurley. Well, we didn't go with him, he was in the play. I'd say the star but Bianca Marroquin who played Roxie stole the show.

The Prodigal Sun

I blocked off the steps to the grass and let Mad roam free on the deck. She still has until the 29th before she can get off the harness and back to the big three (running, jumping, stairs.) Still, after so much worry and trouble it was nice to see her laying out there like she loves to do, sniffing the air and soaking the sun.

Ballpark Update

Another update, because it still interests me.

Gone Fishing

With the house sold, we head to the Aquarium at Opry Mills for a celebratory dinner and to cap off my parent's visit.

Spoiled Mutts

We bought Tara a nice new bed since hers had been co-opted by Mad while she recovers. However all three liked the new one so much they were constantly fighting over it so Mom and Dad sneakily bought two more to spoil their fuzzy grandkids. And they love them.

Pop Art

Went out for pizza after and they have chalk walls you can draw on. This is Dad's attempt at a Kandinskyesque piece.

Kandinsky Following

Starting back with the trip to New York, the art of Wassily Kandinsky has become something of a favorite tradition when we get together with my folks, and guess what? It just so happens the Frist was having a Kandinsky exhibit (we really didn't plan this, it's just kismet.) So of course we had to go.

2nd Gen

Two generations of dinner eaters.

3rd Gen

Three generations of tablet users.

Two Visit

Mom and Dad drove down from Maryland for a few days to finalize the sale of their house here in TN, and when Lonnie found out he took the opportunity to drive up from Atlanta with Payton so they could hang out!

One Big Family

Getting her staples out also meant she's been upgraded in the things she can do, and that includes being around the other dogs again. So life is good!

Out Of Staples

Mad got her staples out today, she's still got a few weeks of recovery left but that is the last of her medical needs. That's a picture of her neck by the way. It's hard to see but under the pink patch at the top, there's a little speckled line down the middle, that's her scar.

WOTM

Last month sucked, it was all about Mad being miserable but at least it had a happy ending. So October has to be scary good. See what I did there?
