DOUBLE UGH!

If it is true that difficult moments are to be treated as ‘learning experience’, my intelligence must have gone up a couple of notches this week...unless I’m like my daughter who affirms that “What I have learned so far is that I never learn anything!” I have mentioned in previous posts about the...

SMOOCH VS TABLE

(I love this picture!) Last night was outstanding!! I actually slept from 9:30 PM through to 5:30 AM – a whole eight hours! I was hoping it was the beginning of my ‘snooze catch-up’ cycle but no – tonight I was allowed a couple of hours with Morpheus, then wide-eyed again. Damn! Fortunately my...

NOT MUCH ABOUT ANYTHING REALLY...

Where the doggies play The birthday party went well on Saturday. I had hardly slept the night before, so I came home immediately after the little ones opened their tons of gifts. The doggies and I went out for a walk in the rain – they chased their squeaky balls for a short while, but were quite... Sign in to see full entry.

CULPRIT DISCOVERED!

Home from the hospital - getting spoiled just a bit..... Good grief!! I strongly suspect that I have discovered what Smooch ate to make him so sick, and I think that poor doggie is lucky to still be alive! Mouse & rat poison!!! I have some out for the field mice that invade the house on occasion.... Sign in to see full entry.

"YOU LOVE ME ANYWAY"

My 3 Rug Rats - gotta love those faces!! 3 AM – and wide awake. My sleeping habits are becoming more and more erratic. One improvement though, is that when I DO sleep, it is deep. It very rarely lasts more than 4 hours at a time, but at least I feel rested when I get up. The doggies love it – fits... Sign in to see full entry.

AND HERE WE GO AGAIN...TORNADO!

Something has shifted – don’t be surprised if snowstorm after snowstorm happens in Alabama this winter – we’re getting Justi’s tornados it seems! The one on Friday was a shock – and a wake-up call. Most of us didn’t take the warning seriously, and WHAM! It was on us and caused considerable property... Sign in to see full entry.

SAVED BY A BEER!

Photo credit Amy Reynolds A Grade 1 tornado came roaring through our area on Friday. What is so unusual is that tornados are NOT usual here. The last one that was even remotely close to us occurred in June 1888, according to some history buffs, and it was still about 70 miles away. My DIL, who works... Sign in to see full entry.

HE'S HOME!

I picked Smooch up this afternoon - he's not 100% but bleeding has stopped since last night & vets seem assured that he is ok. Too tired to write much tonight, but I did answer your comments, and wanted to let you all know that he is out of danger. Mistress, Grump & Smooch are gonna be sleeping much...

AND NOW THIS...

He looks so big here, but he's still just a sassy, playful puppy, my Smooch. Yesterday morning was a ‘breakfast with the rug rats’ day, which means I’m up at 4 AM. I like to be fully awake, first for the drive to my son’s house, and then to greet the boys who hit the floor running at 5:30 AM. I had... Sign in to see full entry.

My oldest rug rat, N., with his little dog Weejie. My youngest son and his lady were still on night shift, so wouldn’t be joining us for the Mother’s Day lunch. I picked up the two oldest rug rats; it would give mummy a chance to rest. Tao, the youngest, is suffering from earaches again, and her... Sign in to see full entry.
