Slap Me Five, Now Where's My Hotdog?

In a matter of 3 seconds, this little doggie managed to swallow a whole hot dog accidentally dropped from the grill and burn her mouth, tongue, esophagus, and GI tract. Swollen insides and a large dose of steroids and milk of magnesia later, she's almost as good as new and ready to eat another flaming hot dog in a heartbeat...

Lucy Would Like to Wish You...

...a very happy and relaxing weekend.

The Old Dog And The Sea

Is it really Monday again? We spent last week and this weekend in a sort of panic-my husband's 12 year old lab was so, so sick-it seemed to be touch and go there for awhile. But, almost miraculously he is back to his spunky old self-still waiting for some test results to come back but things seem to be improving. Yesterday we took him to an emergency specialty clinic that was a few miles from the beach-listening to the waves and combing the sand for sea glass was just what we needed.

It had stormed the night before and we hit the sea glass jackpot! A few days ago I was online searching through real estate listings that are my dream homes-ones that we could never afford-but I love to see what's out there and I think I found what I was looking for...


Now, where's my lottery ticket...

My Favorite Things

 
Orange colored frisbees and eyeless stuffed kittens
Dog bones and rope toys and fingerless mittens
Squeeze the bear's belly and listen to him sing
These are a few of my favorite things

When Syd bites
When the nail clippers sting
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad

Life Is Tough When You Run Out Of Biscuits

Road Trip

We took a very short trip home this weekend-lots of hiking in the snow, a glass of wine with some old friends, magazines and coffee at the bookstore, dinner with family and general laziness and craziness with the doggies. Monday, here we come.

Everyday

Excerpt from Journeying in Place by Gunilla Norris
"I wonder how different life would be for me if I could be as lacking in self-doubt and self-judgment as Putnam. His whole being demonstrates an assumption that he is lovable creature, a deserving creature, and an enjoyable one. To act as if one had the total endorsement of the universe behind one's particular existence would be extraordinary! I hedge my bets by restricting my requests for love and help to those I know will not reject me out of hand. I am oh, so careful, whereas I could, with a Putnam-like trust, meet the world with a joyful, natural wag."

Happy Friday

Lucy and I wish you a happy and lazy weekend!

Chase the February Funks Away

cuddle with somebody you love

Achoo

All I was doing was playing on the bed

and now all of these feathers are stuck to me.

You're not mad though right?

Maybe if I give her the sad sorry look...there's no way she can resist this face!

Would you mind, just helpin a girl out with a feather on her nose?

Oh, how I love you so
