We went to an event with all our rescue friends last weekend. There were lots of cute babies of all sizes and degree of sweetness (none of them was less than perfectly sweet!). I held them all and smooched on them without regard to my own health. That was Saturday. By Sunday night I had a scratchy throat. By Monday night my throat was raw, swollen and yellowish-white. I was up and down all night last night, just too miserable to sleep. This morning we awoke to another thunderstorm, lights and alarm system flickering off then on, and Zoe absolutely petrified by it all. So much for trying to rest and heal! Even Bandit screamed at one point during a very loud thunder-boomer, and I’ve never heard Bandit scream in his life! He wanted to be let out of his crate NOW and almost ran me over when I opened the door. Of course, none of them wanted to go out in the downpour to pee so no throw-rug was safe. I told Ronnie tonight I absolutely refuse to kiss any more babies the rest of my life. I feel awful!!!!!!!!!!!
Yesterday I took Gypsy to the vet for a pre-dental exam and blood work. She enjoyed the trip but didn’t care much for having to sit in the doggie seat the entire way to Friendswood and back. She stared knives at me the whole way. Here she is on the way home wondering how damned long it’ll be before she can get home and get out of the car!
Gypsy: “Let me outta here!”
I also took Fancy to Starbucks for her puppy whip before I loaded Gypsy to go to the vet. Fancy loves to go anywhere, anyhow, anytime, and stay as long as we want. She never makes a sound and looks very interested in everything and everyone around her. It’s like she’s watching a particularly exciting movie and is afraid she’ll miss something.

Today they all stayed home high and dry while I ventured out to the nail salon for some pampering, then some shopping. Even though I felt bad it helped to just get a little bit of time to myself. I didn’t accomplish a whole lot today but I got most of the laundry done when I got home and got part of the sewing supplies I’ll be needing this week to make purses. I’ll probably go tomorrow and get the rest of the supplies. I’m going to make at least 4 and maybe more with 2 different patterns. I’ll post if I succeed, otherwise this will be the last you’ll hear of my purse-making. LOL I’ve made several so it’s not a big deal, just time-consuming and I have to be in the mood to do it. Since I’m making purses for myself, too, maybe that’ll help motivate me.
Well, the old clock on the wall says that if I don’t go to bed I’m going to fall out of my chair. It seems one of the sleeping pills is actually going to work. Yay! Good night!
