Cool, what will you hear?
My poor old dog.
As y’all know he is mostly blind and half deaf.
Funny how I can call his name and he doesn’t hear me but let me unscrew the cap from the treat jar and he can hear that from across the room.
So maybe it’s selective hearing?
I know he can see shadows and he knows if it is light or dark.
The other day when I was taking him out he somehow got behind the door and kept trying to go out through the wall. I think the white wall looks like sunlight coming through an open doorway.
My mother got new carpeting, an off white. Her old carpeting was blue. The texture is different as well. Also the furniture has been moved around a bit.
So Sah-dog comes in and right away he knows it’s different. He walks a little funny, picking his feet up higher than usual, and then he starts to explore. So he’s walking around, wagging his tail a bit and is checking everything out and I guess he can’t tell the white wall from the white baseboard from the white carpeting because he walked right into the wall.
Not hard to hurt himself but enough to look surprised.
On a good note though, the dog who used to hate riding in the truck and fought us when we tried to get him in now is happy to ride and tries to jump in by himself.
I thought he would have a hard time with the move and going back and forth and he seems to enjoy it. He seems to be equally happy at both houses.
Awwwww.
all day. Strange day indeed. TGIF. 
Yep. I’m off tomorrow, and have all day to tailgate. 
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN 'Tis 32 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 63 for the day. A warm up! Also, the weather PTB say highs in the low 70s all next week. That’s still Fall-like weather in these parts.
flytrap you have killer clown fish? :eek:
Midget one day at a time. Glad you have a concert to look forward to today.
sari poor sahdog! Glad to see he’s acclimatin’ himself to both places though.
Today’s plans include pretty much nuttin’ again. We may go out for N.O.L. or not. We’re all willy-nilly on the idea. I may do some cave defilthyfyin’. The place is pretty clean, but it wouldn’t hurt to do some dustin’ and maybe run the vacuum.
Ok, that’s all I got. Time for more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Or maybe I’ll go back to bed for a bit. Again, it’s all willy-nilly here today!
Happy Sattidy Y’all!
Can’t blame the dog today - I woke up for nature’s call about 4:30 and could not fall back to sleep. I sorta dozed, having snippets of weird, disconnected dreamlets, and I finally gave up - I kept waking my sweetie up, and he needs the sleep. So Higgs has been tended to and I’ll have some 'puter time before he gets up and we go out for breakfast.
I figure **FCD **will be spending lots of time in the basement now that he’s going to work on his bike. It’s more than just a repaint. He bought a new rear fender and 2 hard saddle bags - he’s going to configure his bike like a bagger. The fender and bags are just bare fiberglass. He’ll have to disassemble his bike again, strip all the painting he did, then paint everything again, including the new stuff. He hasn’t decided on a color or design scheme yet.
I have no real plans for the day. We’ll have breakfast out, and I need to run a few errands, but not a lot more. I should do some laundry, I suppose. Or wait till it warms a bit. I’ll figure something out.
Meanwhile, Happy Saturday!
Up, caffeinated, and I have a cat on my lap, and a dog at my feet.
Happy Saturday!
It’s 31 degrees here with a high of 45 projected. You’d think it would be warmer in the armpit.
Going to the recycle enter this morning. AA County center takes way more stuff than Washington County center and I feel guilty putting the stuff in the trash instead of recycling it.
Then to the post office to drop off some mail. I have no idea how to send mail from my house because my mailbox is a slot in the door.
I wrote out Thank You cards to all the people who helped me buy a house. Kind of late to be sending them but I sometimes I like to do those old-fashioned polite things. Makes people feel good and it’s unexpected.
Then I need to pack up more stuff.
Not sure if I am leaving today or tomorrow now though.
OAOASO may be able to help me move stuff tomorrow so I may stay.
The couch won’t fit in my truck, it will fit in his.
Good morning, and happy Saturday. It’s a lovely day here in Texas.
A bottle of vodka left behind is like an old can of gunpowder ---- you can never be sure just what is in it. For something like that you need a trained expert to handle removal. Luckily for you I’m full-blooded Siberian and ------------ 
For me its Thursday because my week at work is now Wed-Sun. That’s the one part I’m having some trouble getting used to - my weekend being Monday and Tuesday. The good thing is that those become great days to schedule things like termite inspections and furnace cleaners. The bad thing is all my friends mostly are at work. Luckily I have a lot of retired friends.
blurf. But the cat, after much purrsuasion (=^.^=), let me sleep in a bit
sari, maybe your dog is just ignoring you. 
doggio, it sounds like all is right and holy at your house.
Emily, who willyou be seeing in concert?
I’m just chilling, working through my first cup of coffee before showering and taking a bundle of cards (and bills) to the post office. Happy Saturday!
**sari **- the day started at about 26° in my back yard - brrrrrrrrr! As for the mail - do you have some place you can attach outgoing envelopes with a clothespin? Or maybe one of theseon the doorknob?
We’re back from breakfast, Lowe’s, and Tractor Supply. I’ve got my grow light set up on a timer. With luck, it’ll prevent more yellow leaves. It’s my junk room - don’t judge!!! 
**FCD **got a jack stand for his bike, plus some trash bags and some duct tape. So it was a successful shopping trip. I just helped him get his bike up on the jack - here’s hoping it doesn’t come crashing down… :eek:
MOOOOOM everybody knows that the correct item to purchase along with trash bags and duct tape is a shovel. 
So, we keep goin’ back and forth on the goin’ out for N.O.L. The effort would be the need to put on goin’ out in public attire which neither one of us is inclined to do at the moment.
Wrong, if it’s trash bags, duct tape, & grow lights, my understanding is that the other item to buy is coffee grounds (to throw off the scent of the dogs).
Back from an early flight & breakfast, my plan was to stay home, do the annual Thanksgiving cooking (pt II) & work on a movie; however, two people have [del]asked[/del] begged me to come out & help for a PM flight…in different places. :smack:
My mother added some cans of paint for us to take to recycle.
They only take latex paint and I said I had no idea what kind of paint it is and the guy said most paint is latex so I left it with all the other paint. I figure somebody will look at the stuff anyway.
I hope my next trip down here will be the last one we need to bring recycling.
Washington County is so damn picky.
I can’t get hold of OAOASO to see if he can come today or tomorrow and Sah-son is determined to go home today. So I think we will and then if OAOASO can help tomorrow we will just come back to pick stuff up. Otherwise next weekend all the nieces men are available to move stuff and we will rent a truck.
This getting dark early bs is a bitch. I don’t want anybody carrying stuff in in the dark so we need to get an early start and get out there before dark.
Now I need to find a cheap handy man. One attic step is wobbly, one basement step is wobbly, I want to hang the dryer on the wall instead of buying a cart to set it on.
I got a $300 check in the mail for overpayment on a doctor bill. I guess insurance caught up with some stuff and the doctor was overpaid. I hope it means the one bill I have been paying on is now paid in full. That happened with one doctor bill, I called them to make my payment and was told I didn’t owe anything. I said yes I do, they said no you don’t, so ok who am I to argue?
The $300 can go towards bat removal.
Red he could be ignoring me. Ori-peis are known for having cat like personalities.
FCM I might try that, I’m going to call the PO to see what I am supposed to do. Who knew mail slots still existed?
I need to get busy, I still have more clothes to pack, and start on moving books. I never knew just how much junk I have until I started moving it.
Breakfast (well, brunch really) was two large slices of the quiche I made last night and then didn’t feel like eating. It’s stuffed with spinach – too much culinarily speaking, just right nutritionally speaking, I guess.
My mother is so thrilled that New Guy and I broke up that she’s buying me stuff and doing my laundry for me.
The gnawin’ and cravin’ for Mexican was too much to overcome, so we put on goin’ out in public clothes and went to our favorite place for Mexican commestibles which tend to turn into Mexican combustibles around here.
Forgot l had the lunch and talk with the coach thing today. Free food. 
and you gotta love a man who can tell you which player was on the ice at any given moment, but is not exactly sure where his kids’ schools are.
