Well Amigos, The Red Man was shocked when the delivery came for the old woman Slow this afternoon to Casa de Canterbury from two of our faithful followers: JB and Ed.
As you can see, this very beautiful arrangement has now found a place of honor in Slow’s office next to her Saloon Girl, which is her favorite piece (heh, heh). Get Well?? There is some question as to whether Slow has ever REALLY been well, but we can always hope.
Slow has been confined to quarters for the past two weeks but is getting around better after a cortisone shot in her knee and more magic pills. Today she went to Rush’s to get a chocolate shake so apparently she will live to fight another day. The old woman keeps on rolling, and the flowers definitely improved her disposition which has been sketchy at best lately.
Give the Elgin Florists two thumbs up for the little doggie face on the carnations – now that’s some creativity The Red Man finds inspiring. Thanks so very much to our Amigos for trying to spread a little cheer to Slow. She seems extremely grateful.
Spike, on the other hand, not too interested.
Get me outta here Percy, I think it’s time to pop some pills…catch ya later, Sports Fans – hope your weekend is a super one – if you’d like to visit with Slow and Pretty in person, come to the Art Show Benefit tomorrow afternoon. They’re serving wine and little goodies, too.
I would definitely feel better if I opened the front door and those cute flowers were looking at me.!!! Get better soon!!!

Ma says a chocolate shake goes along way toward curing the blues and anything else. So if Slow had any residual aches and pains and stuffiness, she was right to seek the remedy. 😀
What lovely flowers. Do you thing the florist had a heads up about dogs? Bol!! 🐩
Love and sloppy Poppy kisses!

Yes, the chocolate shake Cure is apparently the most effective to date – Slow is moving around much better this a.m. She’s even experimenting with walking without her cane this a.m., but Pretty will surely advise against this when she wakes up! Maybe this is the Turn Around Week – all of us at Casa de Canterbury are weary of her maladies. 🙂
We hope all of our friends in Pennsylvania are doing well this Monday morn!
We love you all,
The Red Man

I’m pretty sure that is the most creative, fun, and cute flower arrangements I’ve ever seen. I love the dog’s face! Haha. If anything will make you feel better, that will! Well, that and the cortisone and the chocolate shake. Maybe I need a shake because I woke up with a pulled or pinched something or other in my shoulder blade. It’s always something!

Didn’t you just LOVE that flower arrangement? It is truly one of the most CHEERFUL flowers I’ve ever received – and such an unexpected bonus in life…I highly advise the chocolate milk shake for whatever pulls and pinches – as effective as the cortisone shot! 🙂
Don’t you just hate the “new normal?”

Very cheerful! I can’t imagine persuading a florist to try something like that! I’ll take a half vanilla/half chocolate shake then (hard to commit to one or the other).

I really liked the dog face in amongst the beautiful flowrs. Surprise bouquets won’t do it for redman but sure Slow was excited. I hope this long illneas is not serious. I smile when you throw a few jabs at poor Slow who may not be up to slinging them back. But just in case Red, you better be ready to duck or ruN for cover 🙂

Don’t worry, plgcm…I can still outrun the old woman Slow on one of her best days, but thank you for the warning!! 🙂
She is much better this week – cortisone and anti-inflams have kicked in, and she is back on task!!
Thanks so much for the words of encouragement!

Glad to hear of improvements. Cortisone and meds taking effect–so glad to hear this! I also suspected several of the pets have learned to “dodge” flying objects should Slow lose her cool. 🙂 Hope this week is a happy and easier week for ALL xoxo
