Cutest Ever

Both Callie and the baby are 3 months old at the taking of this video. Callie looks as though she is trying to stay awake and guard the baby. This video was posted March of 2012. So sweet!

It's Monday

Awesome weekend! My pain level was down from an 8 to a 2. It felt great to move around and do things that needed to be done. I had a butt load of house work and laundry to be done. David actually helped. On Sunday he let me sleep late. When I woke up all I had to do was my exercises and then read. It was very quiet Sunday. 

I really don't understand this. When I was working, the laundry wasn't as bad. Between the two of us we had a weekly three loads of laundry. Now with me being disabled we have more like five loads of laundry. I can't explain it except that I'm not wearing my scrubs all the time. That alone was one load. I didn't want to contaminate anything so I would wash those last and use an antiseptic. But it was white clothes, David's clothes, and then my scrubs. It could be that we had a larger load capacity washer too. He got a smaller capacity washer when the big one died and spilled it's guts all over the laundry floor one morning. So now I'm having to break down the large loads into smaller ones.

Lucy getting her massage

It's a boring day today. I gave the puppies a massage and now they're all passed out. It's amazing how they flock to me when I start on the youngest and move up to the oldest. Lucy keeps weaseling her way in between me and Pebbles. She always wants to go first and she wants to be worked on the longest. Little attention whore. She's sleeping next to me on e the couch. She loves her mommy.

Cutest Ever

This is going to be one of the new items I will be featuring on Tuesdays. I will be showing the cutest ever animal and children videos from Youtube.com.

This is the first one, a little dormouse that was found in hibernation or "tapor" when the weather is cold and wet and food is very scarce. They will curl up into a little ball and sleep until the weather is warm again.  This little guy was found snoring in a nesting box that conservationists left out. Dormice usually don't snore like this, hey make a little high pitched peeping noise. The person handling him is a licensened conservationist.  This video was uploaded Dec. 21 2011.

Fuck! It's Monday!

The weekend was beautiful. We had a little thunderstorm that rushed through with a cold front that is keeping our mornings in the 50's. It was quite uncomfortable for my back but I managed through it. Sunday I got David to finally help me with the roses but I ended up doing most of the pruning because he doesn't like doing it. So while I did the pruning in the front yard, he cleaned up the courtyard and got rid of all the dead leaves and he sprayed some newly built wasp nests. Right now the sun is streaming through pecan trees in the front yard and it's so green and beautiful outside.

Something I've noticed about our dogs that remind me of children. First off if you've had or still have children around the house you will sometimes have one that it unruly and he/she will defy you at all cost. Or they will talk back under their breath. Well, I have that problem. It's with my oldest dog Spunky. He defies me every time. It's like dealing with a bad child. I don't spank them and they know mommy means business when she says something because they pay the price. Either I take their toys away for a day or withhold their afternoon and evening treats. So I usually have no problem with the puppies. But Spunky is becoming a problem child.

Spunky at 7 yrs old

Yesterday I asked David to stop Spunky from barking. Spunky was outside, note* this dog is old and blind as a bat and defies me every time, barking at absolutely nothing. He was barking because of sounds in the neighborhood. So I asked David to hush him up. David was unsuccessful because Spunky and David are buddies. They are the only men in the house so they stick together. Spunky is still barking so I tell David to be firm with him and tell him to stop the barking. No luck. Finally, David yells at Spunk to shut-up and that does the trick, so I thought.

I'm walking from the living room to the TV room where David is  watching TV and I see Spunky on the back porch with his back to the glass door barking under his breath, almost whispering, "burff burff." I quickly called David to come witness this and we both started laughing. I said to David, "now do you believe me?"
