Two Old Dudes And A Lady

Next came 2 older gents, Cash and Waylon. Cash is a 9 year old Puggle (way over his fighting weight). Waylon is a Black and Tan Coonhound mix. This poor guy is 14 and very lame; he walks worse than Nellie ever did. They were only here for a day-and-a half and I had to pick him up 3 times. He takes meds but I don't think they're doing him a lot of good. He was extremely shy and guarded but by morning he would follow us around and beg for treats. Their parents had to bring so much stuff that we put everything by the back gate to make it easier to load. When they showed up, Cash ran out the door so excited to greet them but Waylon went in our bedroom and lay down, ha. When he finally got outside he looked at his mom, me, back to her again, then me, like "What, I just got comfy and now I have to leave?"


Lulu was a last minute booking and we didn't even have time for a meet and greet. She's a 5 year old Labradoodle with the most beautiful gray coat I've ever seen! She wasn't anxious at all; following us around, playing with her toys, and stealing our socks. 

She was such a wonderful girl and great company when things were getting tough with my Mom.

Sweet doggies, Abby likes the labradoodle,
even if it is half a Labrador, she isn't going
to complain. xoxo :-)

Live isn't always best

Image
A fairly new trend by some FB business pages is go 'live' with either a Q and A, news broadcast, or just to connect with fans. I've tried to watch a few but the video quality is poor. If a FB page has a regular TV show, I would just rather watch them there. I follow one of our news stations on FB and they started going live a few months ago. I don't know if it's the entire broadcast or just a small part of it. At first the notifications were annoying so I finally stopped them but twice a day along with their regular news updates, half of the screen is taken up by: KXLY is now live! I like the news team and watch them, but don't need it in stereo, and especially accompanied with a cheesy photo. It seems like news stations are in such competition that we've got it coming from all angles of social media. I would just rather watch the news on that good old fashioned thing called the Television.  Just give me the straight news without all the mu...

Still Her Advocate

Image
As a parent gets older, their children take on rolls to make things easier for them. Simple phone calls to complain about Mom's phone being down was so stressful to her, especially when it happens over and over. I would have to call her phone company several times a year and always had the same spiel, "No, I'm not going to unplug it and plug it back in, this is an ongoing problem and she uses a lifeline so she NEEDS her phone". Then they would send someone out on emergency status.  At her new home we'd have to step in to tell the owner and girls what Mom liked and how she liked things done. Yes she was particular but it would make their life so much easier if they did it her way. She had so many things taken away from her the day she moved in; just give her control over a few things. Just because she couldn't do everything for herself, she still wanted things done her way. Even after death I fought with her funeral home for an entire week.  She had a prepaid p...

Exploding Snails

Image
serves them right for eating something so gross in the first place These two idiots in California are suing the Seafood Peddler restaurant in San Rafael over an alleged incident of "exploding" escargot. Chadwick St.-OHarra and Steve Righetti were celebrating Righetti's birthday at the restaurant and they both ordered the escargot. As they dove into the little devils with their cocktail forks the snails squirt out hot garlic butter on both of their faces and polo shirts. St-OHarra cried that butter got into one of his tear ducts causing 'temporary vision impairment' and said he was genuinely outraged about the incident. Maybe he should have sued his mother for naming him Chadwick, a name like that is just asking for trouble. And have you ever been outside when a tiny little bug flies into your eye. It hurts like Hell, but you don't see me suing God do you? Like God should have warned me that little bugs can be hazardous to my eyes, causing 'tempora...
