1. I was up until 4am last night
2. C woke me up at 7:30am to help put plastic over the pups foot b/c of the rain/sleet outside.
3. I wasn’t too thrilled w/ the waking up thing, but understood why he had to.
4. My cutie patootie puppy can get VERY UGLY when someone THINKS about touching her foot.
5. Peanut Butter on a spoon works wonders when distracting a puppy from thoughts about her foot.
6. Scotch tape and a sandwich ziplock bag don’t work for long on a puppy who can still reach her foot even with a funnel around her neck.
7. I so cannot wait until next Monday…. Stiches and funnel will be GONE!!!
8. Evidently, I don’t have enough to worry about so our youth have decided to go off the deep end completely, thus #1 on the list today.
9. I hate satan’s tricks.
10. For what it’s worth, I hate satan too.
11. It’s raining/sleeting and 19 degrees (w/ the windchill) in Texas… and I am HAPPY!!!!
12. It was 76 degrees yesterday.
13. I’m sure all of North Texas will have some sort of cold/ flu/ virus in the next few days due to this crazy weather change!

We are cool people.

Not much to blog about really. We had a great Tday w/ family in Austin; it was great b/c there were 4 people and 4 dogs... one for every lap! ;-)
On Sunday afternoon we hung around I35 heading North just South of Waco for about 2.5 hours... we must be cool, b/c everybody else was doing it to! Our 3.5 hour trip turned into almost 6.5 hours. SO. NOT. FUN.
We are going down to Austin again around Christmas, to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and I'm TOTALLY pumped about that!
The peanut is doing fine w/ her paw. Because her legs are so long even w/ the funnel she can lick her paw so we made a sock thing for it and she's totally cool with that.
Gearing up for the holidays, making presents and decorations, buying a few things too. If I make anything cool I'll show ya!
Take it easy!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

MAY YOUR STUFFING BE TASTY, MAY YOUR TURKEY BE PLUMP.
MAY YOUR POTATOES 'N GRAVY HAVE NARY A LUMP,
MAY YOUR YAMS BE DELICIOUS,
MAY YOUR PIES TAKE THE PRIZE,
MAY YOUR THANKSGIVING DINNER
STAY OFF YOUR THIGHS

Happy Thanksgiving!

Have a wonderful holiday... I'm not at my own desk now, so it will be a few days before I post again!

I was tagged.... YAY!

Oh my poor baby!!!!

Ok, so you all know from my previous posts that I've been a little busy. Friday night was soooo much fun! Our last guests left around 2am, then on Sat we had another couple over and they left close to 3am. We joked about seeing them at church on Sunday at the 6pm service rather than at 10am Sunday school or more likely the 11am worship service. To my surprise, C and I were up early enough to go to the 10am service a little late, but we would have made it.... til we heard it... our little baby was in the backyard barking and yelping. You know how you can identify between, "get out of here you stupid bird" and "oh my goodness! I just hurt myself" well, Sunday morning her barks/yelpings were of the "oh my goodness!" file. We went rushing downstairs and she came limping to us... w/ a bloody paw. Apparently, she got her foot under the fence and our new neighbors dog was kind enough to rip a piece of her paw off! She allowed us to cleanse it w/ some water but that was all she was willing to allow. We wound up staying home from all the services on Sunday to tend to our poor injured 10 month old. Monday morning we went to the vet. She told us (thankfully) that we did the right thing, we didn't need to bring her to emergency care on Sunday, we washed it, and we tried to keep her away from it. So they kept her Monday to do some minor surgery and I picked her up later that afternoon. So now I have a frustrated little funnel head. She is sooooo annoyed by the funnel around her neck. She even moans about it. Poor thing bumps into walls and furniture and it scrapes against the ground. She has a hard time getting comfy to lay down too! Since her paw is all bandaged up she doesn't use it, so that means she is hopping around on 3 paws... which makes her head bob, which makes the funnel bob too. Today we take the bandage off and maybe she'll use her paw again so the hopping and bobbing can stop. For now, here are a few of my little "funnel-head".
