Saturday Update BeauSpeak

 


Mama asked me to host the Saturday Update. 
Good News: This photo is me waiting patiently at 5:05 AM for Mama to start breakfast for 3 at 5:30. We eat early because I walk Mama at 6:30, and today, Ruby will come and walk with us. Ruby text Mama and says, What is the ETA for Beau walking us today..

Bad News
I had 4 hours of puke/poop thing.
Good news is, this is the first one of these for about 2 months.
Good News: I am fine now, and we are getting tons of rain, 
bad news:
It Always Comes at  our Walking time.
Good News, is there is nothing NEW for Mama and Daddy.
Same Old Same Old is a good thing.

Good News
Mama is excited because the rain made the weeds BLOOM, hundreds of tiny white flowers all over the yard, and she saw 6 butterflies, 3 different species. She told me she misses, the days of old when our yard was a butterfly garden.

She also misses Missy and Mister, so she colored these.

Saturday Update Time

 

 

Can you guess what I am doing?

I recently notice while brushing my hair, the the top is almost white 😁😁, but when looking at sides and front, it still has little brown color.
 Above is the first 4 attempts to show the white that is seen on the top of my head, Straight on it doesn't show.




I decided it was time to show you what my current self looks like after the past 16 months.
I tried a half dozen times and could not get one I liked.

The first, I decided to show you the real me, no smile, wrinkles obvious. the second, I looked like I was praying for the wrinkles to leave, 3rd  hunchback, 3rd one eye squinted other wide. 

I will do a week end update for a while, and if anything needs to be told will do that also.
UPDATE: Bob will not do his PT Exercise unless I do them with him. After 3 weeks of doing the balance exercises together every morning, my posture has straightened, my back stopped hurting, the ankles bend and the veins don't hurt, plus they don't swell like they did.  

Bob is able to walk with his legs much straighter, using his walker, his toes are curling under from the CIDP, and now they are 50 percent straighter. 


Rain came, we got 6 inches in one week, the grass is growing as fast as the weeds. 

I cut the grass this morning, with my phone in one pocket and bottle of Gatorade, in the other pocket. When completed I looked like I had been swimming in my clothes.
Hair plastered to the head.  




Most of you can relate to this update: It Is Hot HOT HOT! last night at 9 pm the feels like temp was 104.. We start each day with high humid 82 degrees, feels like 90, at 4 AM.. We had a wild windy thunderstorm last night with no rain. It felled limbs to be picked up in front and back yard and the lightning strikes were right on top of us causing me to flinch with every BANG.. that's it, love you and miss you All.

Me.. July 16, 2026


THE END
Beau is doing well, just took this while typing this post, he pretty much does this most of the time.

The Suspects 🐕🐕🐕

 


The fluorescent lights of the police precinct hummed, casting a sterile glow over Lineup Room B. Against the height chart stood three suspects, shifting uncomfortably on four legs each.

On the left was Jake, an off white, Labrador mix who looked like he was wearing mismatched winter earmuffs due to his black ears. In the middle stood Cooper, a snow-white lab mix, whose pitch-black ears hung down like heavy velvet drapes. On the right was Max, a Dalmatian mix whose chaotic scattering of black spots made him look like a walking inkblot test.

Behind the two-way mirror, Detective Higgins cleared his throat and adjusted his microphone. "Alright, Ms. Gable. Take your time. Look closely. Which one of these ruffians infiltrated your kitchen and systematically devoured an entire triple-chocolate fudge cake off the counter?"

Ms. Gable, a sharp-eyed woman in a knitted sweater, pressed her face against the glass.

The suspects tried to act naturally. 

"It’s hard to tell," Ms. Gable muttered into the microphone. "The thief was a blur of monochrome chaos. I just remember a striking contrast of black and white."

"Wait a minute," Ms. Gable said, squinting. "The culprit had a distinct marking on his head. Or was it his body?"

Detective Higgins pressed the button. "Officer Martinez, please have the suspects turn to the left."

Officer Martinez, holding three leashes, sighed and blew a dog whistle. The trio rotated. 

"Oh, it's no use!" Ms. Gable cried out. "They all look like a crossword puzzle came to life! How can I possibly choose?"

Just then, Detective Higgins noticed something on Max’s face, a slight smudge. and zoomed the security camera on Suspect Number One. 

Standard procedure dictated that all suspects be searched prior to entering the lineup, but the precinct was understaffed. Right there, clinging to the edge of Max’s white chin, was a single, undeniable smear of chocolate frosting. 

Sensing the sudden shift in the room's energy, Max looked directly at the two-way mirror. He gave a slow, deliberate blink, and then, with absolute confidence, reached out his pink tongue and licked the evidence clean off his face.

Detective Higgins said “Due to no visible evidence, all three of you are free to go.Officer Martinez, please escort the suspects to the doggy door in the jail and as the three passed through the swinging door, the last that was seen  of the three suspects, Cooper and Jake were busy sniffing Max’s face.
