Lil' Red in the middle. He hasn't all the silver (I think partly due to his actually being much smaller) and his paws don't look gigantic like his littermates. In he picture he doesn't look so much different in size and it is in the coloring and paw size that its most noticeable.
These are miniatures, so likely maybe 12 lbs. or a bit less. The parents look to be closer to 16 to 20 #'s.
Re: how about drinking?
In two weeks I will be no longer in Connecticut, but on my way home to Wisconsin forever! The house has sold! We are doing our own packing and have movers to transport everything out there! Going to have to find a place to rent until next Spring when we will officially be moving into our forever home!

Puffin - good news that your first treatment is complete. Fingers crossed for no or minimal side effects. It’s nice to hear that your friend is helping you. The lift chair is a terrific idea and I’m sure you’ll be happy to have it delivered on Saturday.
Taco - happy to hear your surgery is set for 8/1. Keep up the good work on the pre-surgical exercises and hopefully that will lead to a smoother recovery.
Cindy - oh boy, I feel you on the pool filter leak. That was me and DH two weeks ago and lacking a helpful cousin it was a pricey replacement. We are also waiting for a quote to trim one of our trees - I’m grateful to have a house, but it’s always something.
Totally agree with Reader and Cindy on the value of friendships. I’m not getting out much right now but had an hour long phone conversation with a former coworker/friend from 40 years ago. We’ve kept in touch over the years and DH worked for my friend’s BIL for the past 7 years. My friend is a new grandfather and it was enjoyable to hear his stories about the new baby.
Betrayal - hope the knee pain has subsided to at least a tolerable point.
Sandy- hope all is OK. We miss you!
Shoutout to Illinoislady, MM, Carole, Petite, Sunshine and anyone else I may have missed.
Today was 80 and overcast so I spent some time floating in the pool. It’s such a guilty pleasure to be able to do this on a weekday. We are both very happy to be retired. Some chemo side effects are more noticeable this time - neuropathy in feet and hands, stomach issues etc. On the other hand, for today at least, I wasn’t as exhausted as usual and that’s a good thing. Four treatments down and two more to go.
