My daughter, my niece Emma and my dog nephew are all spending the weekend. Last night we went out to dinner with the girls, while Stinky hung out with his cousins, Beans, Weenie, Wishbone and Ginger.
They’ve been playing hard all day. The snow has been melting away all week and the ground is quite muddy, needless to say, so are the dogs, the back steps, my floor. I’m kind of embarrassed to send Stinky home so cruddy, on the other hand, Stinky is no tiny dog. He weighs 65 pounds. To wash him, I have to drag him–yes drag, he hates baths, then remove everything from the shower stall–shampoos, sponges, soaps, shower chairs– everything I don’t want to be covered in mud and smelly dog fur, then strip down to my underclothes and get in with him.
Afterwards, I will will need a full shower, as well as the entire shower stall and much of the bathroom….that boy can really shake!
Check out the big sad eyes, this guy is a master snack Moocher!
Oh the pups are SO excited, little Kizzy came home for the weekend! There was much joyous barking, leaping and butt sniffing! (By the dogs, not me) Kizzy was a little flummoxed by the new dog door, but she had it mastered in minutes. We replaced the dog door last week because the old one was letting in too much cold air and Ginger was just a little tall for it, she had to stoop every time she came in or out.
Today is our anniversary, we’ve been married 28 years! We’re going out to eat, but we haven’t decided where, maybe Italian or Mexican, but we love Chinese too. We also adore seafood and steaks…Actually I can’t think of many foods we don’t both love. Our mamas didn’t raise any picky eaters. We may see a movie, too. Or not. The last time we went to the movies, it was really loud, and later that evening I got a migraine, though I don’t know if the noise had anything to do with it. I seem to get them pretty regularly and usually for no apparent reason, but I definitely don’t want one on our anniversary!
We had a get together at my sister’s last night and everyone had a great time…especially the pups! Here is my fur-nephew, Meiko begging for cheese…Isn’t he pretty? I don’t know how they keep him so white…I just realized that he looks kind of like that dog with the REALLY hot guy in the post below…
Here is my fur-nephew Stinky, begging for cheese, or anything else we happened to be eating, Stinky isn’t a picky eater, if you drop it, it’s gone…
Here is granny begging for cheese…she doesn’t know many tricks.
Ginger and my daughter Abby getting into the holiday spirit! Ginger put up with the antlers just long enough to let me get a picture…
