oh my, Belle has done a face plant!

Lynne2 said...

Has Flash had his meds Shirley?

Lynne2 said...

Lori, I'll be thinking of you on your last day tomorrow!

Gotta hit the hay. Good night and prayers for all!

Hoda said...

Sorry Flash is not comfortable.

NY Times says the body they pullef out from the cabin is Domer but they will conduct DNA tests to be sure.

Listening to a video of the SOTU address.

Hoda said...

Goodnight LYNNE and all the others.

Yes thinking of LORI for her last day tomorrow. Wishing you well.

Ms Bookworm said...

Good Evening!

Have had quite a busy day today. Spent a lot of time in the kitchen, making ground turkey stroganoff and Brussels sprouts for dinner. Also took a 1 1/2 mile walk. Did a couple of loads of laundry, too. Happy to say that I'm done for the night!

Jo, hope you're resting and healing. SOOOO good to have you back here with us! Love you!

Shar, have added the woman in Walmart to the prayer list.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMORROW TO
MATTIE JANE! WOW--15!!!!! Hope you have a fantastic day!

Shirley, prayers for Flash. Hope he can find a comfortable position, poor fellow!

Belle is certainly plotzed in the nest tonight! Guess I'll go into lurk mode for a while to see if she wakes up and lays another egg.

Have said prayers for everyone, and made sure the porch light is on. Both security systems are enabled. Will say God bless and goodnight now, just in case I do a face plant too.
♥♥Missing Lynn♥♥
♥♥Carolyn & Christie♥♥
I ♥ us!

Hoda said...

Nope I will go to a meeting to see about setting up a yoga Festival from across BC in Nelson BC!!!
I will see if I can get some written notes and share!!! LOL!!!

stronghunter said...

Yes, Lynne, Kathryn gave him a pain pill and a muscle relaxer. I think something bad is going on with him. He is dragging his hind legs. I had thought I would sit here in the recliner so I could watch over him for awhile, but am wondering if both dogs would settle down better if I went upstairs.

Will wait a little while and then decide.

Hoda said...

"They deserve a vote!"

Hoda said...

God Bless These United States of America!

Indeed! An example to the world.

Hoda said...

Goodnight,

PRAYERS♥

Lolly said...

I have been reading and keeping an eye on Belle. Going to make a prediction....I almost never do that. I predict an egg by morning. She just has not relaxed tonight and is sleeping in a funny position.

Thinking of Lori and wishing her the best tomorrow and in the days to come.

So sorry about Flash. Must be rough to see him in pain.

I am now heading to the shower. Will leave the cam up so I can peek in one more time before bed.

The fire has been great tonight, warmed up the room. The bedroom will be cold. Brrrrrr!

Night all! SED!!!

stronghunter said...

I think you might just be right about Belle, Lolly.

stronghunter said...

Good night, Hoda. Bless you!

stronghunter said...

I think I am going to head upstairs and see if the dogs settle down.

stronghunter said...

I hate to abandon Flash, but I can't stop him from dragging himself all around the house. He is not used to my being down here at this hour.

Lolly said...

Heading to bed now. See that she has changed position but still not tucked. Strange....

Lolly said...

Good morning, Lori! I assume you will be on soon. Have a great day, feel the love, and do not shed too many tears!
(((hugs)))

Costume Lady said...

Speaking of fireplace fire, Lolly...we had a fire and it looked like a Demon had taken up residence in there! Took a picture...check it out on my blog SMILES:)

Good night, prayers and love for all ♥

Lori O. said...


HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATTIE!
I hope your day is a very special one!



Thanks for all the well wishes on this my last day on the air. So happy I have this little slice of heaven and all of you!


Was hoping to read that we had three eggs this morning, but no such report yet. DARN!


I LOVE US!

stronghunter said...

Belle is tucked now.

stronghunter said...

Went down to check on Flash. He was still dragging himself all over the house. His back legs seem paralyzed. Will set up his crate and we put him in there. I don't know if he will sleep, but at least he is confined so he can't hurt himself.

stronghunter said...

Belle looks odd. Maybe in labor. There was some kind of cry. I think from her, and she is holding her wings away from her body.

stronghunter said...

Happy birthday, Mattie!

I love us, too!

stronghunter said...

I was not watching the cam when I heard the cry, but I am pretty sure it was Belle. She was up moving around and settled back onto the eggs facing 11:00. Not tucked and still holding her wings away from her body, but not moving at all.

stronghunter said...

She is up and re-positioning. I only saw two eggs. Now facing 5:00 and tucked. I am wondering if that egg is trying to come out.

stronghunter said...

She woke up briefly, but is now tucked again.

stronghunter said...

Someone asked if Susan got the items she ordered. She did. When the package did not arrive from Victoria's Secret, she contacted them and they re-sent it.

stronghunter said...

Going to try to sleep now. I just could not relax with poor Flash so agitated.

Sandi said...

Good morning Lori and all my eagle friends!

Lori, thinking of you today. What a sad and exciting day it will be!

Shirley, so sorry to hear about Flash. Sure hope it's nothing that the vet can't take care of. Poor boy!!

Happy birthday Mattie!!!!

Belle hasn't moved in the 10 minutes I have been watching. Not tucked, still in that face plant position with her wings kinda away from her body.

Prayers for all, especially Jo! Make it a great day!

Mema Jo said...

Happy birthday Mattie
ENJOY YOUR SPECIAL DAY

Sandi said...

Belle is up for an egg roll - 2 eggs.

Mema Jo said...

Good morning all you early birders
The season of Lent begins

Hope you get squared away Flash & Shirley get some sleep. Flash is just like a child, I know.

Hope all have a great day

I love us ♥

Thinking of you Lori

WV sUSAn said...

Hey sweet Margy. See ya in a few :-)

Belle is chirping.

WV sUSAn said...

Changing of the guards and Shep is settled on the eggs.

Sounded like HP in the attic before Shep appeared. ;-)

JudyEddy said...

GOOD morning eagle buds BRRRR sitting here listening to LORI say it is 35°

stronghunter said...

Good morning,

Waiting to see Hunter off to school this morning.

Kathryn got Flash outdoors this morning, but he is in bad shape. We will take him to the vet later.

I am going to try to sleep a little bit. Just wanted to see if we had a third egg, but read there are only two.

stronghunter said...

Hearing morning sounds at the nest.

stronghunter said...

And that looks to be Shep.

magpie said...

WASH-FM is playing my ALL time favorite Billy Joel song ♥ ♪ ♫
(I love you just the way you are)

Thanks Lori and Loo ~

magpie said...

Shirley
I'll be watching for Flash updates....
I pray for some good outcomes

JudyEddy said...

forgot to say I woke up and the blog is back to normal for me I can see everyone pictures now in the minimized window

JudyEddy said...

♫ I dug me key into the side of his pretty little ride ♫

I love that song

JudyEddy said...

I dislike country but I love this song

JudyEddy said...

I have a hard time hearing the nest with the radio on the speakers

JudyEddy said...

snow less than an inch well that real assuring LOL

JudyEddy said...

First show 2003 huh

JudyEddy said...

om my the gas prices LORI

JudyEddy said...

OTWIG SYL TTFN HAGD

Lori O. said...


When Loo and I first went on the air, gas was $1.57 a gallon!

T-Bird said...

Wow, 1060 comments.

magpie said...

pretty darn amazing, those price$

Hi and Good Morning T-bird!
and Lori Again

I am in the land of no computer sounds now....

but I sure enjoyed the morning show,
Lori ☺

magpie said...

I didn't notice any comments Tuesday on Belle's eye appearance, so I think it must have been all better

magpie said...

Ash Wednesday it is...
Lent it is....

As we prepare for the Easter season

T-Bird said...

JUDYE-what song is that? Who sings it?

T-Bird said...

MAGPIE-wow Easter. The years go by so quick.

T-Bird said...

Do you know what was wrong with Belle's eye MAGPIE? How did it look?

magpie said...

well, T, we were noticing some smudgy type markings under mostly her left eye.
She acted normally and she was blinking her eyes like normal....
possibly she just got her whole face into some food early in the day

I think all is really okay, but it
showed up when she returned to the nest after a short time away in the morning two days ago

T-Bird said...

Mattie turned 15 today. That means she will take her test for her learners. Wow, yet again time goes by so quickly. I absolutely cannot believe Mattie is 15. Justin will be 18 in April.

Judie said...

Good morning.

Lori, welcome to a new page in your life book. Move forward with serenity.

Shirley, so sorry Flash seems to be in decline. Wishing for the best.

♪♫Happy Birthday Mattie Jane♪♫ May you have a most excellent day.

Shep on duty when I checked.

Linda said...

Good Morning!

Touching words and comments this morning on WASH-FM!!

Even hear some of our MOMSTERS call in with tributes ot our LORI!! That was really neat to actually recognize some familiar voices!!

We all love LORI!! We are blessed we will still have you with us!

Sounds like LOO will truly miss you, too!

Linda said...

Wise words from JUDIE to LORI!!

This is surely a new beginning. It may not feel like it some days when you are struggling with your stubborn Dad. But love will get you through the coming days. His love for his you, his little girl, and your love for your Dad!!

You Mom sounds so special to spend time with as well. I am sure their ways won't be like your ways, but your heart is so good, and you're so giving of yourself that it will all work out.

I'll be praying for you in this transition.......

But for today.....
Celebrate the freedom from the responsibilities of a job that was draining you WAY too much.

xoxo

Linda said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEAUTIFUL MATTIE!!
May you feel every bit as special as you truly are today!! Wishing you a year of new and exciting adventures in your young energetic life!!

stronghunter said...

Hello again,

Kind of slept a little bit. Had hoped to hear Lori, but just barely missed her. I chatted a bit with her on WWF before she went to work.

I have to call the vet and then get Will to help me get him into the car. He will have to be carried out.



glo said...

Good morning all. I feel sorry about Flash I too send my prayers and best wishes and a sense of pride for that dear one Lori as she turns a new page in her life. Prayers for all.

Lolly said...

Good morning! Well, I see I was wrong, still just two eggs. I guess we can now just hope this is it, too big a gap before the third.

Wanda, loved your fireplace demon. lol

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MATTIE! It has been fun watching you grow up!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Becky is going to get Mattie out of school early to go take her learner's test. Please pray for her. She is scared to death! :)

stronghunter said...

Thanks to all of you who have posted kind words about Flash.

He is at the animal hospital now. Things do not look too good. Kathryn and I have discussed the options. We would be facing a $5,000-$10,000 expense with no guarantee. He has no feeling in his back legs. We just cannot afford that kind of expense.

stronghunter said...

I really need some sleep.

Lolly said...

Shirley, it is quite understandable. 5 to 10 thousand is a lot of money. Prayers are with you.

stronghunter said...

Good luck on that test, Mattie.

At least she won't have the experience Kathryn had when she got her learner's. Her dad took her and had the twins in the back seat.

He had her drive home with the twins in the back seat screaming, "We're gonna die! We're gonna die!"

Lolly said...

Shep left the nest. Lots of eagle speak in the attic. Cam shook. Expect Belle in the nest any minute. There she is!

Mema Jo said...

Lunch is over
May be a Feet up time

Loving our nest!

I love us ♥

Judie said...

Sincerely sorry about Flash, Shirley. That is just so much money especially with the outcome questionable. As with people, our furry family members also deserve quality of life decisions. My thoughts are with you and the family.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Oh Shirley, that is so sad about Flash. Prayers for all of you.

stronghunter said...

Kathryn just called again. She told the vet that surgery is just too expensive for us. They have decided to try steroids for now.

It is a hard decision when it comes to that kind of money, but we have to put the people first, and that amount of money could easily cause serious sacrifices for us.

The vet thinks they might be able to help him with the steroids. We will need to restrict his activities and provide a ramp so that he does not have to climb the back stairs.

We'd already talked about a ramp before. It would be good for Luna as well, since she has trouble with her vision.

Quality of life is a big concern, though. We will have to see. Both Kathryn and I thought that this was going to it for Flash. Kathryn even talked with Hunter this morning.

Lynne, I do hope that vets provide extra uniforms for their workers. The kind lady who carried Flash into the office got a thorough soaking of pee. I am appreciative for sure. I think I am probably beyond the point of being able to carry around around 60-pound dogs.

And, I had a good conversation with a very gracious golden retriever while I was in the waiting room. His owner said that he (the retriever) was most concerned about the dog who was carried into the office.

I can just see Hunter tearing up and down a ramp. Oh my.

Again, thanks for the kind words. We do love our fur children.

stronghunter said...

Kathryn is to call at 5:00 to learn if Flash will be able to come home tonight or not.

I really thought that he would not be coming home at all. I am hoping and praying that he is going to recover, but he seemed really bad to me.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

MATTIE PASSED HER LEARNER'S!!!!!!! WOOT!

Kay said...

NEW THREAD, NEW THREAD, NEW THREAD !

Come on over !

NEW THREAD, NEW THREAD, NEW THREAD !
