2nd With Eyes Open

Without Nathan I have to take photos on my phone, message them to Nathan and download them to post. Taking by myself is difficult but I don't want you to miss the moment. This means we now have 2 with eyes open. Let's see we have mustache and double mask. I am hopeful the rest open by tomorrow. They are waiting for Nathan. LOL Dennis is just too busy to help as we had a flood in our basement from a washer hose escaping literally. 

With the show ending tonight and Nathan not doing tear down as it seems he leaned back in a chair, fell down a hill and hurt his back, we may get the rest when the rest of the pups eyes open - that is if he is capable. What a fluke accident. It can't be too bad as he is still there. But it must have been scary.

When everyone has eyes open, I will take new photos, mark date and post them. I feel like I am letting you down but trying not to. You will still see individual photos with eyes open. I try to get them on video too. I have to get better at this. Maybe I am facing these challenges so I learn.

Tumbling off of a chair unexpectedly can wrench muscles so easily.
Hopefully Nathan will only feel a little sore & stiff for a few days.

Me too. We await his arrival to assess. What a freak accident.

Poor Nathan and poor you if he is hurt badly. 😢

Poor Nathan, he surely doesn't need a wrenched back, and with young pups at home.
And that flood in the basement, 🤐

He is in pain but on pain meds. He managed to sit on the floor to take eyes open photos then couldn't get up without rolling and screaming. But it could have been worse, he says.

I just carry the ball - the flood, the extra work. He rests. I am so far behind but still going to try to exercise - which I haven't missed a day. If you do miss, you lose your streak so it is motivating. I am up to 1 million points in about 10 days.

Dennis is on the couch outside snoozing with some of the dogs.
