Sympathy like for the dog!! I hope she heals up fast.I will have so much to catch up. With family visiting I don’t want to be rude and ignore them. So our oldest dog somehow got an abscess on her back. I only noticed it when petting her last night. It felt like a lump. So I called the vet and we got her in today. She shaved the fur off and it was a bloody mess. She took her in the bag to clean it out. So now the dog has a drain and the vet will recheck her on Saturday. She is on antibiotics now. No idea how it occured. The vet said it could be fron a cyst possibly. We won’t know until it heals. So dh stayed home while the rest of us(in laws as well) went to see Mary Poppins. Dh didn’t want to take a chance leaving the dog with the other pets. And we are also trying to confine her to non carpeted areas. The music and cinematography, and 2d animation were fantastic. Mary Poppins role didn’t seen very large though compared to the man who was sort of the “new” Bert. I was happy to see that Mr. Sherman did consult with the music. The score sounded like something he would have written. They definitely took good care in trying to make it a sequel worth making. Dh didn’t want to see it because he didn’t think the movie should have had a sequel. I am guessing many may have thought that looking at box office revenues. We enjoyed it though.
I originally thought the Mary Poppins movie was a remake and I didn't want to see a remake of a classic. Then I found out it was actually a sequel. I didn't particularly like Emily Blunt as Mary, but then, I don't think I would like anyone as much as Julie Andrews. I thought the movie overall was cute, though not as good as the original...but it felt like it followed the exact same line. There's the "new" Bert, and the "new" kids, and every scene is like a scene from the original movie, just tweaked. There's the animated sequence, and the silly relative they visit like Uncle Albert who floats on the ceiling, and the chimney sweep dance number, and the flying a kite number....just all slightly different and set to new music. So we enjoyed it, it's cute, but it didn't feel very original or creative. But it's a good diversion if you want something to do with the whole family.
Weird medical things happen to them, without any rhyme or reason. At least she's been well taken care of, and will heal now that the abscess has drained. She'll also be a lot more comfortable. Good thing you noticed it when you did, so take some comfort in that.
