I have mentioned our sock problem with one of the dogs, Jameson, previously. Have you ever wondered how many socks can a dog eat and still not kill himself? We found out the answer the other day. A few evenings ago I saw him running into our bedroom with Guinness hot on his tail. I thought, what the heck are they up to. So, I called him out of the bedroom and he came, looked at me and headed for the stairs. I yelled no as he was about halfway down and surprisingly he actually stopped and came back up to me. I had him sit and just barely noticed the corner of something sticking out of his mouth. All the while he was growling while I was trying to open his mouth and steal the pair of socks away from him. I was able to get the socks away and asked Diane where he got them from. She said she didnt know, but did do baby laundry earlier in the day and had everything sitting on the bed. I went to the spare bedroom and said, there werent any socks in here....she said, there should be several pair. The next morning we heard a dog puking in the bedroom and went out to check out or new surprise. There were six socks in a pile that he puked up. I was out cleaning up after the dogs in the backyard a couple of days later and found two more socks. So now we know that Jameson can eat 8 socks, still be hungry for more socks and still survive. I wonder if there is a world record for this!!!
miss bossy just showed up. .....surprise surprise....wielding a glass of wine in hand and an attitude to go along with it. She quickly quieted down.....wine must be taking effect or she fell asleep on the couch.....Allies snoring must have hypnotized her....
Allie was diagnosed with severe heart degeneration. The muscles of the heart walls have deteriorated and cant pump like they are supposed to. She was pumping at about 20% of normal capacity. This was causing fluid build up in her lungs and causing the bad cough. The vet gave her 3 months with a possibility of 6. She is on several prescriptions to help her through it all. She stopped the coughing, but is always tired and sleeps alot.
Wes and Mia still arent walking yet. Both of them will occasionally let go of what they are holding onto while standing and stand there all proud of themselves. Each of them have a car with an elevated handle where they can walk behind it. Mia just figured out today what to do and had a great time with it. Wes will do it if you set him behind it and walk with him. They are both getting more teeth to go with the four they already have. Wes likes to drop stuff and go uh-oh. Mia learned how to high five. One of these days Wes will learn what his inside voice is, I keep telling him to use it, but he just screams 'Da Da, Da Da'.
We took some pictures on Halloween. They were pumpkins. They didnt go trick or treating because their bedtime is too early and they would have a hard time walking to the houses. Plus, they dont know how to say 'Trick or Treat'. Diane wanted to take them, because she wanted to eat their candy, but I figured it would be better to have well rested babies than grumpy ones. Their first birthday is coming up on Turkey Day.
I started on the basement this weekend. If anyone feels the need to help, just let me know. I wont turn it down unless I'm not going to be working on it. Which brings me to a question about plumbing. Has a plumber ever roughed in a basement bathroom correctly? This is the third house I have owned and not a single one was done where you didnt have to rip it all out and redo it. Our neighbors across the street paid extra for a bathroom rough in and they didnt even put in a toilet pipe. They told them that the toilet doesnt come with it. I just went, huh!!! Stupid plumbers.......
Bring it on and Well put you in the ground right next to these two here.....
A couple of pumpkins ate our babies !!!
