Today I smoked some meat. This time a 7 lb pork shoulder. It took a long time to cook again (over 15 hours). I hope it's good 😊

Today was Thanksgiving! We decided to have it with just the two of us this year. We made turkey meatballs, pepperidge farm stuffing, green beans, and sweet potatoes 😊(and bread pudding for dessert). We thought everything tasted pretty good except I missed mashed potatoes 😅.

Today I was not feeling well, and I thought I had the flu or COVID. Thankfully, I don't have either. I still don't feel well though, so I stayed home today. Thankfully I still have the AI job to help cover the loss of income. I will hopefully be able to have my sessions tomorrow.

Bert graduated today! He graduated from puppy high school. He's already doing a lot better in terms of listening and he can go to his "place" (bed) when commanded.

Today was the last day with a client named Josie. She was fun and always excited. I will miss having sessions with her. She transferred to another agency because of the issues with DDD with ABLE.

Today we went to get a steam cleaner from Joy and Tom's house to clean Maggie's old pee upstairs. Penny looked cute with her new haircut! She is much calmer around other people and we were able to play "fetch" with her.

Today was Otie's first day of feeling better 😊. He has been sick with what we think is kennel cough and has had a hard time and worried us. He had been throwing up, coughing and unable to eat. Today was the first day of him feeling better and able to keep food (and his medicine) down.
