My in-laws have a place there and we've been visiting for 20 years. It's a little piece of heaven on earth. Keeping my fingers crossed for your Hawaii trip. I'd love see it one day.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-61977071205076550382012-01-22T20:59:44.574-05:002012-01-22T20:59:44.574-05:00Oh, poor Zelda.

It's always such a worry when our pets are sick or injured...<br /><br />I'm very envious of your trips to Sanibel. We had planned to go a couple of years ago for Christmas, but a blizzard ruined our plans. I hope we get there someday, but we won't plan for a mid-winter trip since our weather is so unpredictable. That said, I'm going to Hawaii the first week in March. Fingers crossed for cooperative weather!Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-75086772247786552222012-01-22T09:20:55.748-05:002012-01-22T09:20:55.748-05:00Carol - Thanks.

Darlen...Carol - Thanks. Zelda is slowly improving.<br /><br />Darlene - Zelda is such a drama queen that they were unable to change dressings 3x a week as planned. For now it's open and she's wearing an Elizabethan collar to keep her from chewing the wound. Not ideal, but we're working with it.<br /><br />Trish - My in-laws have a place in Sanibel, so we've been there quite a bit over the last 20 years. Sometimes we stay there, but this time we rented a condo. Can't get enough of that island!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-65446953935317451262012-01-21T08:28:38.348-05:002012-01-21T08:28:38.348-05:00Oh poor baby!!

She's small and I worry about her getting eaten up by other dogs. Except, she can be a pill when she wants to be so she'd probably hold her own but I still worry. Plus, she was a shelter dog and I worry that she'll think she is going back to the pound.

The header photo is all natural - photoshop is beyond me. A combination of sunlight and fog lifting off the lake was so beautiful that Sunday morning, I just had to get out there with my camera. The photo still doesn't begin to capture the beauty of the moment.<br /><br />Arti - We had a very difficult time at the vet with Zelda today... sure hope things turn around for her soon. Had to take a break from the Golden Globes to watch Downton Abbey, but really enjoyed your tweets last night!<br /><br />Sandy - Sanibel is heaven on earth!
