Bath Time!

"You're gonna take a picture, Mom?...I'm a little indecent at the moment..."

"Oh no, here comes the shampoo!"

"Ug, the part I really dislike is being rinsed off....mmmm I do smell like peaches n' cream though!....think I'll shake a bit so Mom can get clean too!:)"

"Freedom!!!!....trying to wipe the clean off of me as I tear through the house and wholler all over the Pooh bean bag!"

Have a Happy Dogs on Thursday...today is my sister's birthday....

Happy 11th Birthday Gypsy!

Dogs on Thursdays...DOT!

Gypsy is wagging her tail so hard over her new bone you can't even see it in the photo!:)

She got this bone on her birthday, August 5...and she hasn't touched it! Usually a normal size bone she devours in minutes!

Maybe we should let Fuji lick on it and then maybe she'd eat it?

Happy DOT!

James, Jimmy and my Dad are all going fishing this weekend....knittin' time for me!:) My Mom's birthday is tomorrow...Happy Birthday Mom....then my Dad's is Monday...Happy Birthday Dad!

Dogs on Thursdays...DOT!

This is our big dog, Gypsy. She "found" me 9.5 years ago. I took soooo many pics of her yesterday and these are the only ones that came out. She does not like having her picture taken. She kept turning her back to me and ignoring me. She started giving me the "leave me alone" look so photography session stopped.

This is where she started giving me the look. She's a little off and the vets wanted to put her down because she likes to attack little animals and when pulled off will turn on you. I'm a big sucker though and wouldn't put a healthy dog down. We're just real careful with her. We don't allow her near the cats or Fuji, she has her own room. She also hates being outside. She will go outside to potty and if I'm home alone will circle the property to make sure I'm ok. If I'm outside she will walk with me most of the way but then runs for the back door to be let in. She loves her belly rubbed and likes to tear out squeakers in toys. We love her!

Daddy's girls!

Getting some pettin' from her Daddy before she goes outside to do her business!

Happy Dogs on Thursday!

Martin Luther King Day...Movie Monday...

James and Jimmy have today off because of Martin Luther King Day. Caught them playing a little basketball and of course Gypsy had to sneak in and get a little loving!

I've been calling the dentists trying to get in to see them sooner than Thursday because I'm in soooo much pain. The dentist thinks its the root canal that I had done in October or the tooth next to it. Either way I'm in lots of pain. They finally called me back and are getting me in tomorrow. Never thought I'd look forward to seeing an Endodontist! So in the meantime I've been popping Advil like its candy every couple of hours...finally knocked out for a nap so got some rest from being up all night throbbing!

I did get to my knitting group meeting yesterday. Its nice to see what everyone is working on, what yarn they're using, etc. I also called my TN buddy, but just got her machine. I haven't heard from her in awhile and am hoping she is ok and I miss her lots!

Movie Monday....Rented Wanted and Meet Dave this weekend.... Wanted was good...had to really follow along which is kind of hard when I'm trying to knit :); Angelina Jolie is in this so very much an action movie, she is too skinny in this though, think she needs some lasagna!:) Meet Dave has Eddie Murphy so of course was a cute comedy, Jimmy was able to enjoy this one. He's from outer space and comes to earth but his body is his spaceship..funny. Usually we rent more for the weekend but got there late.

On the needles: the cast on part of the Dream in Color shrug (haven't worked on it except for casting on); the Valentine cloth; the Peppermint Patty socks; and my yoga socks (which are almost done.)

It was a little overcast today so made some oatmeal raisin cookies, knitted, listened to some podcasts and rested. Also heard from a good friend I knew in 7/8th grade on Facebook today...whats funny is she doesn't live far from me either! Its been so cool talking to her today! Take care!

Dogs on Thursdays...DOT!

This group is for people who love their dogs and want to talk about them once a week! So on every Thursday...it'll be about Fuji or Gypsy! Plus you can visit other dog lovers by clicking on the dog bone! I found this group off of Chan's blog and on the BarknKnit podcast...very cool! This is another great podcast to listen too!

I did want to mention a doggy post today...a new movie comes out tomorrow Hotel for Dogs! Jimmy and I are going to go see it tomorrow. McDonald's even has the toys in their Happy Meals...so guess where we'll be going for lunch! Its about:

When their new guardians forbid 16-year old Andi and her younger brother, Bruce to have a pet, Andi has to use her quick wit to help find a new home for their dog, Friday. The resourceful kids stumble upon an abandoned hotel and using Bruce's talents as a mechanical genius, transform it into a magical dog-paradise for Friday--and eventually for all Friday's friends. When barking dogs make the neighbors suspicious, Andi and Bruce use every invention they have to avoid anyone discovering "who let the dogs in."

What's cool is for every ticket purchased to see the movie, Pedigree, is making a donation to help shelter dogs! So go see it and help a shelter!
