Clancy's Spay Day & Let's Browse Bath & Body Works Together

Clancy Mae's spay day is today!  She's struggling so to eat kibble the past couple of days....we found another tooth on the floor!  That is six we've come across so far....likely a few more we haven't found.  

She hasn't had much appetite & even though her kibble pieces are small....she struggles to chew & have no doubt her mouth is sore.  We will be happy when the teething phase is over!  And the heat likely isn't helping....thank dawg for quick dips in the pool to cool her off & we're keeping the house cool with the air on....another warm one in the forecast for today!  We had thunder & lightening overnight....

Clancy Mae had a quick at home spa treatment...nothing like a sweet smelling pup with clean ears!  Hopefully, her nails will be trimmed when she is under anethesia today.  I'll update once her surgery is over & we can bring her home....

Her CKC registration papers arrived....her Daddy's name is Crocus Creeks Wyatt and her Mama's is  Kenleap Lady Danger.....

Before we browse Bath & Body Works.....remember the dachshund treat jar I ordered?  Well....that was a bust...I must have missed the dimensions.....but it is much too small...not serviceable at all...cute but of little use to me....it was sent back.....

Bath & Body Works is full on fall & Hallowe'en mode...I managed to pick up a few things....how adorable is this soap holder?

Some pretty soap & candle holders.....everything decked out......I'm so crushing on this ghost!!!

And what great candle holders they have in stock.....these soft fabric pumpkins are available in a great choice of colours...

Prepare yourself for the price of this gorgeous piece......$275!!  *thud*.   Did you just faint? I near did..

What an adorable little bag to fill....luv it!!

They were giving out coupons to use for future purchase.....I have about 5 of them....I shared with daughter & neighbour.....and plan to use one to pick up this amazing cauldron candle holder!  It lights up!  Bonus!

And how about this guy...(or gal).....spooky!

And they have such a collection of wallflower plug ins.....and dozens of scents to use with them....I think I picked up 10 scent refills....in my defence - they were on sale!

I managed to restrain myself...but chose three....the first one....to use in the kitchen....(they also double as nightlights)......this kitchen mixer is holding my favourite scent - Pumpkin Pecan Waffles.....smells amazing!!

I couldn't resist this adorable piece for the bath....how adorable are the bubbles and that towel! Such great details....

The third one (sorry for this not so great photo.....it was getting dark).....I placed in the main bedroom....it's holding a Lavender & Vanilla scent....

Of course the room sprays were on sale.....in my favourite scent...I picked up a couple......

The one wick candles were also on sale.....and again, my favourite scent!  The sales clerk advised the best way to get a sense of the scent of any particular candle....is to open it & sniff the lid!  The scent is stronger there....who knew?  

Someone asked if I was done using tarts.....don't be silly......

 

Gosh...I do love that store!  Not hard to tell, right?

Once we drop Clancy Mae off this morning, I have a few errand to run...(keep my mind busy).  The surgery suits I ordered were a bust....neither XS or Small sizes fit well.  I picked up a pack of onesies in the baby section at Wal Mart.....however the preemie size I purchased are too small, I need to exchange for the newborn size.

I think they will work well, to keep her from getting at her incision.  Mr. Seventies mentioned we will need to cut out a hole for her tail.....I never even thought of that, lol!  For potty breaks the onesies are easy enough to snap open & roll up out of the way.....

Join me later today over at https://betweennapsontheporch.net/ for Metamorphosis Monday & again tomorrow at https://www.myslicesoflife.com/ for Talking About It Tuesdays.....
 

Thanks bunches for hanging out with me.....so greatly appreciated!

Til next time....

Driveway Re-Seal & Walking The Trail

It's going to be even hotter here today - luv it!!   We're getting great use of the pool....daughter is on vacation...she & grand daughter were here one afternoon, then her husband joined us when he finished work & we enjoyed a barbecue & strawberry shortcake for dessert!

Mr. Seventies re-sealed the driveway....even though, as daughter pointed out.... there are companies that do it.....he prefers to do it himself...that is just the way he is.  Not a lazy bone in that man's body!!  This job requires 3-4 good, dry preferably hot days in a row....likely next year we will have the driveway re-paved...

The first step, done a few days prior was to fill any cracks(so weeds don't poke through - nature hates a vacuum)... in the asphalt with this crack filler....it's a granular product that he tamped into the cracks....one bucket was required...

Then he swept the drive with a larger janitor's broom.....and power washed it fully....I'll be so glad to see the stains covered up...

This job required two large buckets of the sealer.....it has a sealer that keeps stains from showing through....

First coat completed!  If you were reading the blog a few ago.... I wrote about how that large crack was caused by an inexperienced driver of huge delivery truck (delivering roof shingles to us at the time).....struggled to back into the driveway & drove off the side & onto the lawn....and caused the crack!  The roofing company paid to have it repaired....but it was a poor repair job....you can see the repair on the right side....

Re-coat time was 4 hours....it looks so much better!  Once completed, curing time is 24 hours.....we parked our SUV over in the neighbour's drive.....

Mr. Seventies will re-assess the driveway in the spring....and decide if it's time to have it re-paved by the professionals....in the meantime....we think the sealer looks great...and stain free!  (the stains were caused when our transmission leaked....long since been repaired).....

With the hotter days, we've been walking early mornings on our favourite trail....we've dubbed the "Bunny Trail" as we continue to see bunnies each time we walk.....

Two of my favourite peeps.....Clancy Mae loves walking on the trails.....

Taken from a distance....but look who we saw!!  We normally see anywhere from 1 to 5 bunnies either sitting by the trail....or hopping across it.....along with a number of squirrels & chipmunks......

There are a number of bridges we cross....this one has a unique pattern of algae.....likely caused by beavers's dams backing up the stream....some bridges we stop & enjoy ducks swimming by.....

Today forecasts to be 30 degrees Celsius (86 F) with a humidex of 38 C (100 F)......making it feel much hotter.....we stay indoors where it is cooler with the heat pump set on air conditioning during the hottest part of the day (usually 1-3:00 p.m.)....

Monday is Clancy Mae's spay day....we will be happy to have the surgery behind us.  While she is under I hope to have her nails trimmed.....great time to do it!  We need to drop her off at 7:45 a.m. with no food or drink from the night before.

We took her into our vet clinic last week for weigh in (to get the appropriate flea, tick & wormer medication).....she is up to 8.4 lbs!!!  Wow - 3.5 lbs when she arrived in April!!  She is growing so fast....

Please keep her in your thoughts....I know she will be fine....but a Mama cannot help but worry!

Sincere thanks for being here today....so appreciated!  Have an awesome weekend!!

Til next time....

We Got Us A Heat Warning!

 

Going to be hot with high humidity for the next 3-4 days....we'll be hanging out in the pool & keeping the house cool!

Christmas Canvas Sale!

Now....I had no business checking in on Inspired Living's Christmas canvas sale....I have absolutely no room to hang anything on my walls.  All were 50% off btw.....

But, I decided to just browse around & take you guys with me.  Before we go....my red retro glasses....the second pair I had ordered....were too big for my face....but I'm crushing on these ones....

They go so well with my Mary Jane crocs....and my red Betsy Johnson bag (the one Mr. Seventies removed the chain from).....

I had a young gal compliment me - telling me I was looking "snatched"!  I had no clue what she meant...but I took it as a compliment.....

Mr. Google explains it : "Looking snatched - is a popular slang term meaning that someone looks exceptionally good, stylish or flawlessly put together".

Go figure!  Me - looking "snatched".  Huh.

On to the canvas sale!  So many beautiful framed & unframed pieces....

Who doesn't love labs in Christmas sweaters??

This large piece was stunning....a gal I know & ran into purchased it....I love the blue & white....

These framed pieces have such a retro vibe....

These two were apparently part of a set of six....I didn't inquire about the other four...but they were not in sight....

More pups....the one on the far right looks dachshund to me....

Our feathered friends.... so beautifully captured....obsessed with the second one...I know there are cardinals here....never seen one in our area or at our feeders....

It wouldn't be Christmas without the jolly fellow in the red suit....

There were so many to see.....and the shop began to get crowded....do you think I purchased a canvas??

Of course I did.....without having a clue where I'm going to hang it!  But....I had to have it....and it can hang year round.....if I find a spot for it.  Impossible to resist mens hockey skates.....and chickadees!!

The adorable garden flag I ordered arrived as did the battery operated flickering ghost candles....

Then I realized I didn't have candle holders....so I ordered these ones on Amazon.....plain but serviceable...

Remember I've been searching for a treat jar for Clancy Mae's snacks?  Well, I found the perfect glass container on Amazon.....like it was meant to be!!   (and I used my Blues rewards (formerly Air Miles) for Amazon gift cards....how adorable is this??  Will share when it arrives.....

This week promises to be hot....for a number of days!  And with that comes more pool time - we had so much rain for two days the pool is almost over-flowing!  Grand daughter hopefully will make for a few swims....she has a busy week of day camps....

And because it's Monday....be sure to join me later today over at https://betweennapsontheporch.net/ for Metamorphosis Monday and again tomorrow at https://www.myslicesoflife.com/ for Talking About It Tuesdays.....

I will also be sharing over at https://www.gracefilledmoments.me/ a new link up for me!  Please drop over & spread some love & support other bloggers....

Thanks so much for being here today....be sure to drop a note in the comment section!  Would love to hear from you!!
