Whoo-hoo—The Dungeon has been updated yet again! #smiley16

Yes, even though it seems as though we just celebrated Valentine’s Day (which we kind of did), it’s time to change things up & get Mistress Heidi‘s lair ready for the St. Patrick’s holiday! #smiley18

So meander to your dander…  (Bonus points  if you recognize that line from a recent sitcom. #smiley21 )

Take your time checking out every new emoticon, every new quote & joke & picture in the sidebar…

And let us know what your favorite new additions are. #smiley9

Also, if you happen to be the First or Last Darling of The Dungeon to comment to each day’s post, don’t wait for me to hand over your prize…just go right ahead & lay claim to the morning’s Four-Leaf Clover or the evening’s Pot o’ Gold.  We trust you. #smiley20

Enjoy your stay, & feel free to tell your friends just how awesome we are over here at WIPs and Chains.  (Can you believe some people don’t know that yet? #smiley2 )

Happy Sunday, everyone!

How has your week been going?  In fact, how has your month been?  I hope you have lots to share with us today. #smiley15

This week, I AM HAPPY that my sweet Baby Bella seems to be on the mend.  Remember how she was having UTI issues?  Well, they cropped up a third time, which not only annoyed me, but had me worried.  Another trip to the vet, a bladder tap for sterile urine, & a send-away culture to be sure what we were dealing with.  Turns out there are struvite crystals & too-high PH levels, but no infection.  She had to get some antibiotics & painkillers, & she’s on special food that I’m not 100% thrilled about feeding her (or the others, who have never met a can of food they didn’t love #smiley8 ), but she seems to be doing much better. #smiley22

Of course, I have to take her back to the vet in a couple of weeks for another bladder tap so they can see if all of this is working, but let’s not talk about that now.  It doesn’t fall under the category of something to be grateful for. #smiley4

I AM HAPPY, too, that another of The Kittehs is doing much better on a new anti-anxiety med.  (Anxitane, which is all natural & made from green tea extract.  I highly recommend it for cats & dogs with anxiety issues; if they’re nervous, have trouble traveling, etc.)  He still has a few nervous ticks, but is visibly calmer & happier.  He plays a lot more & has started sleeping with me almost constantly—on my lap or in bed with me, if I’m not up & moving around, he’s like an extra appendage. #smiley5

And I AM HAPPY that I have at least one kind neighbor who came over after one of our heavier snowfalls & used his snow blower to clear my entire walk & driveway.  Awesome!  I shovel if I have to, but I sure don’t enjoy it.  And now I don’t have to…at least not right away. #smiley2  I think I’ll bake him something yummy as a thank-you.  Maybe he’ll be pleased enough that he’ll do it again if/when we get another batch of snow. #smiley7

So how about you—what are you happy about or thankful for this week? #smiley18

Feel free to share!  We want to hear your good news or simply your happy thoughts so we can do a little Happy Dance right along with you. #smiley1
