trying to catch up Sat Oct 11, 2008 7:36 am its been a while. thanks to all for well wishes for my dad; he is doing fine now. things have been rough on the critter front, and between that and me being sick off and on, has kept me offline and away from blogging. ill update more later, time permitting. its cold here, so im wanting to do some cleaning and such since im stuck inside.
hope all is well with everyone else. im way behind on blogs too.
work keeps me sane Thu Oct 16, 2008 4:41 pm odd isnt it, if you think about it... the words work, and sane, in the same sentence like that....
but its true. even though days lately have been bad, and even though there are certain dogs who CAUSE insanity, for the most part, they are great for ones moods. case in point, today. i was feeling off and still reeling from the headache of last night, and the general stress from the past week or so. we have one golden retriever named Cooper who came in today. now, i must admit that im not biased either way about Cooper. i like that hes playful, and get slightly annoyed when the bugger snatches the blankets and races around the playroom with them. there was one time though when he actually put the blanket back when i told him too (not expecting that, it was too funny). but anyway, he knew something was up, kept watching me, kept hanging out by me, even stopped playing with the other dogs. i have to admit even in my grumpiness, he was a great comfort. told D before i left and she thought that was cool. i told her he should be a therapy dog, if he can pick up like that. anyway, not what i expected from him, but that does change my perspectives. ill have to dig through and find a picture of him.
edit to add, here you go; meet Cooper:
Wednesday, October 22, 2008 Wed Oct 22, 2008 8:04 pm[  Mood: Sleepy ] just checking in to say hi. im a bit tired (im blaming the weather, damn cold, i hate cold, but thats another story). other then that, hanging in. i had to play with a beagle puppy today, hard life, isnt it?????
meet Sophie the beagle. three and a half months. pictures and video. for size reference, Lola is a maltese, full grown, and Hanna is the miniature schnauzer:

critters are holding their own, for the most part. i worry about the neighbors cats (who im feeding). still cant get why anyone could refuse these cats access to the indoors (where all cats belong):
anyway, meet Mikey:
may be hard to see, but this guy has definite siamese features, his face and eyes especially.
and Misty:
check ou those paws; Misty has an extra toe on each of her front paws, and also her back. too cute!
they have names for them, im sure, but i like the names my mom and i came up with better. wish i could find someone who wanted two indoor cats before winter strikes.
the week iin pictures Sun Oct 26, 2008 1:03 pm i almost posted yesterday, even had the reply page open and was poised to start typing away. but i got sidetracked, and busy, and found an unexpected new arrival while cleaning, so there went that posting.
today im tired, and to type all id like to would take all day, and those who are regular visitors to my blog know how long winded i can be  .
a picture is worth a thousand words, and easier to get through  , so heres the week in pictures:
new dogs at work this week, besides Sophie. well, not really new new, in the case of Samson and Delilah; those two are infrequent visitors, and i guess will be around more next month. but their new buddy Rocky is new.
Samson (spelled as his people spell it), a maltese:
Delilah, miniature schnauzer; cute but wow, very noisy:
and Rocky, a parti color cocker spaniel. Rocky is a recent rescue, about 6 years old, and reminds me of a parti colored cocker spaniel we had when i was a kid:
this is Rudy, a newfoundland lab mix. nice except he has a really bad habit of stealing whatever youre carrying, towels, peoples lunches, you get the idea....:
the newest member of my group of furry critters, this is Chance (Annie is the grey and white mouse, Chloe is the black and white girl on the wheel, and Chance is the little wild tyke, all brown. yes, theres a story behind this tiny fuzzball, which i will try to write soon. Annie and Chloe are phenomenal with him/her:
and for the halloween spirit, dont look if youre squeamish! Charlotte, my moms spider:
ill add a few more later, gotta go for now. enjoy! |
