Hey gals! What's up? I see you ALL have been up since I was last here...? Raising hell and partying all night? Thought so!
Rosie, Oh wait... we can't go scarin' off anymore potential partyers... No, how do you spell partiers? Spell check is not helping on this one... But now we are all friends and we are SAFE with that what'sherNAME who will report or maybe even arrest us if we are un-controllable... I just KNEW she was in law-enforcement...
She will keep the bad guys away..... unless we want them.... And she has those TWO DOGS! Isn't it amazing how you can look in any dogs eyes and just see how much love they have for you?
Loverly, I just LOVE that little dog on the pillow! So funny....! I guess unless it was YOUR pillow....
I never COULD figure out what that thing was you posted... Shorts with sleeves?
Hi Lucy... You are in Brisbane? Like I know where that is.... I love the ocean too! My folks moved to the San Francisco area when I met my DH... And visiting them was like seeing all the beautiful things I had never seen before... The ocean, Yosemite, Fisherman's Wharf... Golden Gate Park, and this was when the hippies had taken over down-town... Ha! They drove by that area one time, just to show me... And Mom was scared to death of their flowers, and free-love, etc!
I thoroughly enjoyed all that.... Haaaaaaaaaaaahah!
Morning Jazzy... oh never mind.... we went through all this... about the death-stars....
Wren! Good idea for Marlana... Is SHE the authorative figure we have now? About a dog-walker?
Oh so SASS changed her name? Marley? Will she know it when she sees it?
Okay, so now Marley.... See, these gals, especially Cammi, whoisneverhere said I broke my hip falling off the pole in the alley... I merely stumbled over a rock the size of a small Volkswagon, and fell smack-dab on my hip... I mean as old as I am I could have KILLED myself! But it is all fixed up now... I like to show all the men my scars on my hip and leg.. something to talk about you know!
I LOVE your dogs... I'll never remember their names, but they are beautiful... So you keep those guys under your command? Hah! That's perfect! I've probably heard you dispatching orders on those cop shows... Right? I watch that, and the jail bookings, and etc.! See? You DO those kind of things for lack of anything else to watch...
Rosie, you were "treed"? Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhaaaaaaah! NO you weren't... you climbed it yourself to look in your neighbors windows! Did you guys ever do that at night when you were little? I didn't either.....
There's LucyLu! Having a double! Aren't they GOOD? But try a Bocce' Ball! That is Orange juice, with Vodka and Amaretto over ice, with lots of cherries..... YOU remember! Just kidding.....
Jazzy, I use Advair too! Not all the time, but I think the humidity really DOES make your Asthma kick in... Okay, so now I am as sick of the rain as I am of the snow.... I just want to be warm, and dry... and beautiful.
Loverly, there is enough fur there for to make a whole CAT! That didn't come from that DOG did it? After our Lacee passed away, I found some of her fur... I used to put her on the picnic table, and brush her almost every day... And we got tons of fur from her... But a hand-full was stuck in a little flower pot, and I brought it in, and kept it with her other little memories...
Morning Spookers! I'd like a shout-out for how organized I am this morning, talking to all of you! Yes, I KNOW, it is beautiful out there.... Don't go sendin' any more pictures of that temperature stuff... You want to meet for coffee today? With Sass? Wouldn't that be fun???
Rosie, our Lacee was that friendly also... She loved everything, and everybody... ! Not much of a watch dog... although she was GREAT at watching everything!
Blondie... Do I have to come out there and talk to your Doc's? Getting away would be soooo good for you! Tell them we said so...
Marla, we have a neighbor dog named Thanos! After some Greek God or something... He is the BIGGEST Great Dane you have ever seen!!!!!!!!! But he is the sweetest, most gentle dog I have ever met! Known him since he was a puppy... would let him in our yard to run around under the trees and race to the back-yard... But he is SO big, he could just bump into you and you'd be flying into next week... !
Yes Spookie, Lacee is also my Avatar... but you knew that... And yes again, we should all meet in Florida! Go see those two wild women.... Blondie, they mean you.... No Sass... Not Miami... I've seen how wild those people get on South Beach! Is that where Spookie hangs out?
MAGS!!!!!!!!!! Our Chevy dog that we used to have got VERY sick like that one time... The Vet said he somehow got poisoned... I remembered spraying weed killer out back, around where the tall grass grew, and he DID eat grass... But he finally got better...! Scared me half-to-death!
Is your dog okay now? Both of them?
There's HiHo.... rescuing us with the drinks! Don't they look good? Yes, it's never to early for a cock-tail... I COULD put Bailey's Irish Cream in this cup of COFFEE I have here..... ! Hah!
Oh so LucyLu was a cock-tail girl? Like in a bar? Alone with all those men? It's a wonder I didn't see you there, whilst I was dancing on that pole!

Whew! I need to go back to bed!!!! Chevy wore me out.
For our first anniversary a loooooong time ago, DH asked me what I wanted. I said a puppy. Been stuck in apts for a year, I needed a dog. Off to the shelter, came home with a Belgian Tervuen. Very good boy!!! Got me hooked on the herding breeds. Brains and beauty. Have a plaque says no outfit is complete without dog hair. So true.
Sas, agree about Miami.

Mags- I am sorry about your sweet dog, Nacho. Let us know how he does with the vet. Hopefully he will get better and pull through. I am rooting for him.

Marla, lover , mags. - love the dog pics
SAS / proud mama. - hooray for your son!
Chevy - were you drinking at like 8am ?
Blondie - I so hope you get to go to FL ! Maybe you'll find a young man in a tight speedo on the beach to have a quick beach romance or quickie - whichever works for you.
2nd - miss ya
Hello and hugs to all
Hootie hoo

Well Peppy, I got up at 4:15.... You all just have to come join me, with your happy little personalities, and have fun talking about nothing! Ha!

It's 8:44 and I am up! I was also up at 3:30... more melatonin and flipping and flopping until I went back to sleep. I swear what ever it is they have me on has just trashed my ability to sleep. ugh.. But I am on my first IV drip of coffee and that should fix myself. Then out of zombie land.Speaking of Zombies... where is Mombiezombie?
Love all the dog pictures. Mags I hope your dog is better and home. I must have come from another generation.. everybody we know is into craft beer and independent vinyards - oh and frilly coffee drinks. Must be a Pacific Northwest thing. No one does mixed drinks. Or I could just be weird... and have weird friends and that is highly probable. Odd duck from day one.

Ms. Chevy may be a septuagenarian, but I think she has the most energy of us all. I can't keep up with her either Ms. Spookie.
Love the posts, Smaarty.
Rose, hey.....you are up and moving. Boring is good sometimes, especially when we have more energy and less pain. The bad days help us appreciate the good ones.
You are not the only odd ball, you have company..... I have no clues what is what in the mixed drinks. I do like the taste of a good beer especially with oysters or any seafoods...yum. I can never get drunk though because my bladder can't handle more than one bottle or can haha. The only time I was buzzed was while waiting for our meals I had sample the different beers they offered at BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse on an EMPTY stomach. Oops! I was chatting and giggling away.
You see Patty, all you have to ask the is the question "why so quiet on this forum" .........
My Big Sis Jazzy, how are you with your breathing?
Ms. Blondie, I really really really hope you can get away. Would the warmer and more humid Florida air bother your breathing ? I hope not.
Agh!!! Can't get rid of the bold. It was only meant for Ms. Blondie. Stupid iPad.
Mag, I know it has been mentioned already, but i really hope that your babies are ok. Ms. Sas has a good point about getting a new bag of food.
Hello to everyone.

Love the song Ms. Chevy. Brought tears to my eyes. My youngest uncle fought in the Vietnam War. He didn't die physically, but part of him died along with so many other young men. He got into drugs and alcohol after the American troops pulled out and passed away in his 30's.

Guess what I am going to learn this summer? On my bucket list, the STEEL DRUM! Taking a class in June from the local jazz workshop.
Ya mon! Oh maybe some dreadlocks too?

Chevy.. I loved the song too.. Thanks for sharing.
Rose.. I don't get up when I can't sleep in the night. .. Mostly just play on the phone , trying to block the light a bit under the covers... I don't want to wake Hubby with it.. in case he thinks it'd be a good opportunity to " have some fun.." 😃
Loveroflife.. I feel so sorry for the young men who went to Vietnam...A lot of them came home addicted to drugs and alcohol., and without the hero's.welcome the men from previous wars received :-(

Jazzy! I have seen those played somewhere! My little Brother is mostly into percussion, and has made money by being with his "friends" and not going out alone....

Jazzy! The Steel Drums!

Chevy- if you have spent any time in the Caribbean, this is where you will hear the steel drums the most. Although there is more of it interwoven into some of the latin jazz songs around now (big fan/player of latin jazz).
This is my dream song to be able to play. I just need to find the great back up band to go with it (and fortunately, I have a lot of music peeps here!)

I have been sitting here fretting for hours. Got up this morning to find vomit and bloody diarrhea on the bedroom floor and took Rose to the vet. Nacho had to spend the night. They still have no answer as to the cause. I can't even think straight. Nacho is a dear, but he is DH's dog. Rose is the dog of my heart and I think some of you if not all know just what that means. The hardest thing about losing Nacho would be how hard it would be on Rose, but losing Rose is just unthinkable. I am tied up in knots.

Magdalene.. Sorry.. I know exactly how your feeling.. We lost our malestese on Boxing Day.. :-(
Thinking of you and praying that I Rose and Nacho will be fine.

Mags- so sorry this is happening to both dogs. You have talked of Rose and posted photos of her many times. Prayers for the pups that they will pull through. Hugs to you sister.

Joining the circle of caring for your pups Mags!! I stayed up many a night watchful over pets from surgeries and sickness, dosing pain meds, giving fluids.. checking endlessly... like they were patients! I swear that's why my pets live so long. I have no doubt I am not alone in my OCD over being the furbies voiceless' voice and care giver. I am sure Luvmygoats, Sassy and Wren sound cut from the same cloth. Fingers crossed Nacho and Rose do well.
Loveroflif- glad to know I am not the only one who is clueless about cocktails. Just wine thanks. My sciatic pain is much improved.. just tweaked it- thank goodness. Still got hip pain but it is better. Jazzy those steel drums are so exciting, love the music. I have always admired the Indian Tabla drums. Those would be so fun to learn to play. We will see if I can sleep tonight or need to roam the boards.. bored and up!

Ladies, what a night last night. Again thankfully my county was spared most of the damage last night. The towns of Bridgeport and Runaway Bay suffered the most damage. Bridgeport is 23 miles NW of me. I did hospice nursing there for a year in 2008. But the most amazing thing is I think no major injuries and no deaths for sure. Another tornado on the county line SW of me. We had minimal rain last night thru it all. Texas/Oklahoma need to dry out for a bit though TX will never turn down water in the long run.
Mags - praying for your Nacho and Rose. I would do like Sassy says and save their old food but change it for the moment.
Sassy - congrats on DS's accomplishments. Proud mama bear.
Rose - HaHa I feed our dog salmon/potato from Blue. I made her chicken free last year. Read chicken might aggravate skin conditions. Which reminds me I need to call the vet. She has never had a flea problem but by golly we've got one this year. I need something to treat her but it will have to be something gentle with all her skin problems. DH has stuff to spray the yard but no need to spray yet when it rains daily or floods regularly. His job is also a problem. With his crazy hours (12p-9p) doesn't leave much time to do stuff b4 work. So if it doesn't get done on his days off it doesn't get done.
Amazingly the 2 puny fruit trees are holding on to what they had. The peach tree seems to have lost some but the tiny plums are abundant. They are good but only about a 2-bite size at best.
Lucy - lol Blue Lagoon and blue teeth. Now you all have me looking up drink recipes. Naughty. My favorite used to be a Colorado Bulldog - vodka, Kahlua, coke and cream/milk. Of course it had no calories, right??
Spent the day cleaning house. DD coming out Friday. Sad to say that's what got my lazy hiney up to clean.

Mags, So hoping they both recover quickly. It's always such a worry when they can't tell you what happened and how they're feeling. Sending healing vibes. And hugs for you.

Luvmygoats- we even have the cats on salmon and sweet potatoe. Our one cat has severe allergies; years of prednisone and she would itch herself to death over one flea bite, bloody bald spots. We now use something new called Revolution, topical flea/ mite/heartworm med. This is great stuff! My cat Zoey has never looked better! Between the food and revolution she's needed no steroids. Works wonders on the dogs as well. I use a spray called Knock-out on kennel bedding and dog beds. Never a flea issue, need ventillation and it has to dry. The stuff is toxic and 18$ a can at the vets, but it lasts and it works. Vets use it and recommended it to us.

Luvmygoats- I heard TX got ALOT of tornadoes. I lived in the DFW area once long ago and remember this time of the year only too well. Spring is a scary time in your neck of the woods.
Mags- keep us posted on how the dogs are doing. Praying they both pull through.
