Crippled

I haven't been able to post because my feet have been eaten by the Gus.

Four Squared

Yes - I am completely crazy. I have my four square - 2 dogs. 2 cats. 2 girls. 2 boys.

Dags is really doing remarkably well. I am indebted to MaryK for coming over the past 2 nights to play with Gus and give Dagny some love and attention. Dagny is so in love with her that she will come see Mary even with the Gus in the room. Dagny is totally giving me the cold shoulder and HOW COULD YOU? looks. And the pup is so attached to me that I am sure it does put Dags off some. But she is getting better with me and the pup.

Gus is a goofy puppy. Probably going to be big with his paw and body size. His eyes are kind of gray with a blue tint - the pictures make them look blue. Will be interesting to see where they settle out.

He is amazingly well behaved. It will change as he still such a baby but we had our first house accident and frankly it was my fault for not immediately taking him out after his nap.



Happy Birthday to me!

Bouncing Back

Am on couch thinking how great it feels to not have to be anywhere for the evening. Over my right shoulder on the back of the couch is Newman. He is positioned so that he is safe from the chasing of Dagny and so that he purrs right into my ear. He is purring right in my ear because he is such a good boy and knows I love it. And he is reading this blog. I just realized he probably watched me type in the password and will be inviting all his cat friends in for scotch and cigars when I am at work. He would do that. Snuggle and sneak - side by side. That's my boy.

I spent yesterday afternoon and early evening with my friend Rene. We became best friends in junior high and remain friends today. She hasn't changed much either. By that I mean she looks great and hardly her age (our age). We had a great dinner at Wisteria and lovely visit.

I have been seriously thinking of getting a puppy. I am not sure if the feeling has passed or not. I confess that last night when my supposedly sick and elderly cat, Sadie, ran meowing across my sleeping body in the middle of the night - I thought perhaps I should ebay them all and just live free of pet hair. When I questioned Sadie in the am - she told me I had dreamed the entire thing. Full moon.

blah blah blah

I have not blogged in a while....Nothing has really been going on ...work....pollen. I have a bird's nest up on one of the rafters on my front porch. I fell this is cruel fate upon the baby bird's hatching up there. Maybe Newman built it in hopes of landing a little tweety bird of his own.

Blah Blah Blah
