    Well, ok, but the very first one you eat tomorrow is for me, ok?

    My word, today was non-stop action packed.  So glad it's done finally.

    Today I got Cinamon bun creamer.  Oh is that ever good!

    Yea!! My shopping is done.  All I have to do now is wrap.  I had to go to a mall in Sacramento today so I tossed my keys to DS #2 and said "I have to take a short trip to hell.  If you wanna come with and drive, I'll spring for lunch." It was surprising how easy it was to find parking and how un-crowded the mall was this close to Christmas. It was less than 2 hrs. from the time we left home, had lunch, hit the mall and were back home again.

    Oh, failed to mention that my crew are blowing coats.  It's almost Christmas and they just decided to do the fall blow.  Sigh.  Talk about screwed up critters. But then I have a duck who purrs like a cat and likes to snuggle like a dog.....

     Earlier today, while waiting for someone to come online and freaking out, I was posting on my livejournal, explaining that I thought maybe she was thinking it would be humorous to drive me a little nuts, being as she now knows of my irrational fear about lateness. I described my fear as being completely rational in my post. My friend posted to me a comment that would have made perfectly good sense, if I wasn't in irrational mode.

    Paige, I can't handle the smell of Solid Gold Tripe. I am guaranteed to lose my lunch if I have to smell that stuff.

    Thankfully, I don't have a poop eater, & I can't remember the last time someone pooped in the house. I *think* that Shooter did once as a puppy, but that was 3 years ago. I most definitely couldn't have handled puked poop. The worst we've had recently was Bev swallowing the last 5 inches of an ox tail whole, & puking it back up 5 days later, still intact. There's nothing quite like the smell of 5 day old, been stuck in Bev's stomach, rotten ox tail.

    Karen, our tripe comes in rolls like yours. It's not all that foul smelling though. I do feed it frozen though, as I have no desire to smell it thawed.

    I helped out with pics with Santa tonight at a local mall. One of the local rescues gets the proceeds from tonight because it was "pet night." I took Bev & Cher along. Bev hung out, & Cher watched the activity from her crate. She got to meet tons of people because everyone wanted to meet the "hound dog" instead of the "killer Doberman." It's amazing what a set of floppy ears will get you...

    Tonight, I learned that I should never complain about my kids or dog's behavior as they are angels compared to most of the general public. I cannot believe how horribly most people's kids & dogs act. If mine were ever to act like that, I would either beat them or shoot them.

    Well. We're back from the ER...pup gave me quite the scare! He came sulking into my room, ears flopped. I picked him up - his entire face was swollen :( so off to the ER we went! a few injections later...we're home. I LOVE my ER vet - have I said that before? I would drive from another state to go to her. Anyways... we've got a slightly swollen, but very sleepy, pup. At least he wasn't too sleepy to eat dinner :) poor baby... kennel cough, and allergies.

    I need to clean, do laundry, and finish my christmas shopping. but - nope. My day off, I'm going to Busch Gardens tomorrow. YAY.

      Did I ever tell you the weekend before I brought Gracie home (she was just under 11 weeks), the rescue asked me to do an info booth and bring one of the two puppies who were left.  Of course I brought G.  She'd never been on a leash, and she balked at walking through the doors, so I had to carry her in.  At least 6 people commented on what a cute Doxie she was... until I put her down and her knobby knees unfolded to reveal the true height of her legs.

    Ox tail in Bevo's stomach for even one day sounds revolting.

    I caught Patrick eating poopsicles in the backyard this morning.  He's a royal pig.
