Weekends
Good morning! I hope all of you are having a fine weekend. I'm popping in to do a post since tomorrow morning I'll be busy visiting my dad and my step-mom.
Earlier this week, we went to London Ontario to visit his mom. We stayed at the nicest hotel named the Idlewyld Inn and Spa. Our room was perfect and everyone we met was kind, friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay there again whenever we are there for a visit. We had a nice time with his mom and took her about town doing what she wanted to do and eating at restaurants where she wanted to eat. I think we made her happy.
We had nice weather going up and back, but sadly on the way home a major highway was shut down in Canada due to construction and they didn't give detour information. Our US phones act like they are gasping for air in Canada when they try to use the satellite. The navigation app on my phone used up most my battery, but we did find an alternate route, got back into the USA. My phone breathed a sigh of relief.
Yesterday, Frodo had a major stomach upset so we had to find a vet (luckily we did not use the 24/7 ER vet hospital with a 4-7 hour wait time). I find it bafflingly that I live near a major city and MOSTLY all vets are closed on the weekends, the extra challenge is that it's a holiday weekend. It's near impossible to find pet care. However, I phoned place after place and successfully found a vet hospital with an open appointment. (I was so grateful!!!) He has meds and we are back home. I need to call today and touch base with a few more questions.
All I've been doing is cleaning carpets...ugh and sanitizing everything. We are both missing lots of sleep as well. Our fingers and toes are crossed that today is THE day for some health improvement for him. Poor little one and poor poor us. I'm running on empty.
How was your weekend?
That hotel room looks lovely. I can see why you will repeat your syaus there. Inso hope Frodo bounces back. It is always so concerning when a senior dog doesn't feel well. Thank goodness you were able to find a vet to see him. Hive him a coiple.of ear scratches for me!
ReplyDeleteIt looks a lovely room to stay in. I hope and pray that Frodo gets well soon. They are such a worry. Take care Cx
ReplyDeleteThe lovely hotel was a great way to start ... and I'm so sorry to hear about Frodo's troubles, and yours! prayers he's feeling better and everyone is getting some rest.
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures of the hotel. Sounds like you had a good visit with your hubby's mom. So sorry to hear about Frodo. I hope he is feeling better soon. Enjoy your visit with your dad and step-mom. See you again soon!
ReplyDeleteHope Frodo is lots better now. Glad you had a nice visit and got home safely.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a nice visit to Canada and even more so that you found your way back to the US! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Frodo and the rest of you - I hope everyone is healthy and gets a good night's rest.
ReplyDeleteThat hotel room looks very cozy! Sending good wishes that Frodo feels all better soon.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had a nice visit with your mom. Hope you do with dad as well.
ReplyDeleteHow strange thar we had our old lewey at the vet Fri afternoon as well with the same issues. He's on a bunch of medication and special food now that he is eating. He did start doing better yesterday.
Have a great week!!!!
I’m so sorry to hear about Frodo, it’s so hard when our fur babies age and things start happening. Give him lots of love.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds as if you had a lovely weekend, with the exception of Frodo's major stomach upset. Poor little guy. Hope he feels better soon!
ReplyDeleteAnd I have to say that I would have been panicky on the trip back to the States from Canada. Glad you found an alternate route and made it safely home.
Sounds like a really nice weekend. I sure hope your little Frodo feels better soon and that you can relax before the next adventure starts.
ReplyDeletePoor Frodo. I sure hope he is feeling better and things are getting back to normal. I'm thankful our vet has Saturday hours. The Inn in Canada looks lovely! I would have had to book a massage!! Glad you were able to find your way back to the US!
ReplyDeleteOh poor Frodo! I am so glad you found a spot to get him in (we talked to our vet about the "vet on a weekend" issue as well... it is a huge problem!)
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely inn! My sister also lives in Ontario. Too bad the phone maps couldn't find an alternate route easily. Poor Frodo.
ReplyDeleteThe hotel room does indeed look lovely. I hope Frodo feels better soon.
