Happy Saturday!
It was a cloudy 72 degrees when I left this morning, the humidity slapped me in the face as soon as I opened the door. Now it’s 86 outside, the sun is shining, and it’s supposed to get up to 88.
Glad I’m inside.
It was funny at the park this morning.
Olive was there this morning. She is another foster puppy, about 10-12 weeks old, very tiny, very quiet, pittie mix.
Urban was there, big, boisterous, lovable, clownish airedale. Urban is easily the fastest dog of the regulars. He will be loping around the park, 5-6 other dogs chasing him. You can tell he is going slow so somebody can catch him.
Then comes Molly. I thought she was corgi and cattle dog, she is corgi and lab. Think lab on 4 inch legs. Molly is super fast, can easily outrun Urban.
The problem with Molly is, not only is she fast, but she likes to nip Urban’s heels. Maybe she thinks he’s some kind of sheep or something? She has a very strong herding instinct.
So when Molly showed up today, Urban wouldn’t run at all. He doesn’t like having his heels nipped.
However, Olive, little, teeny, tiny Olive, who never does anything, took a liking to Molly. Following her around, jumping on her, trying to get her to play.
And Molly was scared of her. The funniest thing, she actually tried to jump into her dad’s arms to get away from Olive.
Poor Molly. She’ll try to take down an airedale, but runs from a little puppy.
Ralphie is cute. Allie looks like she is not impressed with having her picture taken. What cure little faces your kitties have Dots
The axolotls are cute, for what they are. I think the grumpy one is cuter.
Red, if you view the preview, it should show the picture.
Echo will not get more wrinkles. Shar pei grow into their wrinkles, so they have fewer as adults. She wasn’t very wrinkly as a puppy, she never had wrinkles like Ripple. She has them on her head, neck, and at the base of her tail. Her father is from the Ukraine, and the European standards for shar pei are different than the American ones. She is leggier, leaner, and less wrinkled.
I’m with you on shopping for curtains FCM Six years here and the only room that has them is the living room. All the other rooms have blinds for privacy, but nothing else. Except the kitchen. The window over the sink has nothing. Anybody standing outside can’t see much of anything except our heads. The side window has cling film.
My curtains in the living room fit inside the window frame. There is a tension rod at the top and the hem just brushes the window sill. The window frames are the original woodwork and I think they are too pretty to cover up.
With two dogs and a cat, I definitely do not want curtains that puddle on the floor. Can you imagine the amount of hair that would collect in them?
MetalMouse, OAOASO is OnAgainOffAgainSignificantOther. I guess I should just call him the ex.
He never showed up yesterday, I’m not surprised. He’s supposed to bring stuff over tomorrow. We’ll see.
One of the things that pisses me off with him is that he lets his family take advantage of him. Then when he needs help, I’m the one he comes to. Not just his sons, but his sister is a crack head who has 12 kids by 12 different men (would be 13 but the youngest one died as an infant) and he has helped to take care of them too. I think he finally kicked his sister out, because she was bringing drugs in the house. He doesn’t smoke, drink, do drugs, and hardly ever curses. From the way he went off yesterday, I think all of them will be out. I can cuss like a sailor, and I wouldn’t repeat the stuff he was saying.
I didn’t know he had it in him.
Fence guy never got back to me yesterday, which is okay too.
However, when I went out front to feed Antlers, my fence guy was walking down the street. So he came over to talk a bit, he had a home inspection to go to. He says he will start on my fence on Moonday. Put the posts in and build the front gate and section for the back. The whole fence should be done by Firday. While out there though, what do I see? Crazy B two doors up has a fencing company at her house. So I guess she is putting up a fence too.
I should be getting something done today, but I haven’t done much of anything.
No dog park this afternoon, even though it is nicer outside than I thought. I haven’t gotten anything done, fell asleep earlier and haven’t done anything since I woke up.
I’m pretty sure I’m the only one that cares… I actually use to have a job which involved giving talks explaining the difference, so it gets me as twitchy as misplaced apostrophe’s.
s. I have to go pinch worms from odd places, due to my lack of any outside space.
