What are you up to today?

[LizStreithorst]

It's always painful when a family member or even a pet dies. I'm sorry for anyone who has to go through that. I've been through both and it hurts to the depths of your heart.

I was a good girl this morning. I groomed my scruffy looking fat lady dog. She is more spiffy looking now, but without all the hair she looks like a pin head. She was good on the table considering she hadn't had a good groom for too long a time. When I told her that she was a thing of beauty, she believed me. At least I haven't forgotten how to do a good groom.

Then I made 2 boxes for shipments of Ram pairs I have going out Monday. Now I have a nice meal of cheesy broccoli with pasta on the stove almost ready to eat.

If I don't do anything else today it's fine with me. I'm retired, and besides, it's Saturday.

made a hamburger goulash with three pounds burger mixed with two cans cream of mushroom soup spiced with the following:
Cumin
salt
black pepper
garlic powder
dehydrated onion
old bay

Then folded a load of laundry, put a load in to wash, and took a shower and cleaned out open wounds (thanks ingrown hairs, diabetes, and all).

Now to move an empty 20 gallon tall with substrate to my son's room so we can get it running with a water/vinegar mix to get the hard water cleaned up so we can then get the tank cycled and add some fish.

That sounds interesting Dave..never had it. Is it something served like a soup? Sounds like you could serve it over rice or pasta?

Every day is Saturday when you're retired!

I ate it over a piece of bread.
My wife ate it over an english muffin.

It is kind of like chipped beef

Well playing the waiting game now. Our rescue pup is coming up from New Mexico and is now in Tennessee. Its coming with about 30 other dogs saved from a shelter there that is just overrun with dogs. I guess the covid backlash. Great thing is most of these dogs are spoken for. 2 women driven them up in a van. Seems they do this a few times a year. A pic of him now and before he was given up0BFAC3DD-82CF-4C52-910B-630ACA8014BC.jpg0AB72B91-5E44-4CDB-805F-0ABB24A28300.jpg.

A beautiful Boxer. I bet that Brain is envious.

Well I picked him up last night .DF76EFAF-FE00-40E4-A01D-316852998753.jpg bouncing all over the place my son had to hold him .87476BC8-B37C-4CD1-AF45-9DBF6DD98452.jpgwas a little tough last night. Got home after 10 and had to bath him! He stunk!! Didn’t let Mia see him till he was cleaned up and she wasn’t too happy. But got them out running this morn and they are starting to get along.

You just brightened up my day!

Nice to see a nice dog find a good home.

[LizStreithorst]

They'll be best buddies soon. You are lucky to have 2 such beautiful dogs. I only have one large dog, and he's 14 years old. The rest are little yappers, but they're good in bed on a cold night. 2 of the yappers sleep under the covers, one on my right side, one on my left.

I couldn't find my phone yesterday night when I went to bed. I instigated a search this morning. I looked everywhere several times and didn't see it. I was just about to take my scooter up to my neighbor Shawn and ask him to call my number several times. I got on the scooter, looked an the basket on front and there was my phone. I have no memory of putting it there and no idea why I would put it there. But at least I found it which was a big relief.

All I have to do now is to do animal care, change the bed sheets, and make a meatloaf and some turnip greens simmered with bacon. Of course, I should clean house, but I'd rather just play out side. It's 80 degrees here in February which is unheard of. I want to enjoy it.

Sure brings back memories. This is my buddy Jack on the day I got him. He was a boxer/mastiff mix, looked like a boxer but weighed 125lbs. He was the most well behaved, yet animated dog I've met. He loved everything from my cats, to small dogs (he thought he was small) and especially little kids. The only thing he hated was squirrels, lol... I adopted him after a tornado destroyed Joplin, MO and he lost his family...

On the other hand, this is Alfie. A very good boy but dumb as a box of rocks.

Alfie looks sweet, but dumb as a stump. Jack is smart and loyal. I have a dog who's sweet but dumb. He's so sweet and dumb that you can't help but love him. He's the dog in my avatar at his graduation from obedience school. His name is Big Head.

Awesome Tom! Glad to see it worked out and that you guys took in a rescue.. My cats are always rescues.. my last two were black cats.. they get a bum rap but are really great cats.

Brian Jack does look like a boxer. My Mia is a mix. Was sold as a boxer and looked like a boxer. Has a ton of energy. But knows when to stop. Something boxers just don’t know. Named this guy Finn. I’ve had boxers for about 15 yrs. My last guy Guinness was just a great dog. Never a problem EBCB0EC6-D47E-4959-A9AB-4CE4943BB085.jpg just lived too short a life. That’s him just before he died. His heart was too big. These are my first 2 Piper and Rusty.B8E79DBF-D501-4BEC-9ED3-13E9DC0CDCF7.jpg Piper was also a rescue. Got her a year after I got Rusty. She was 2 at the time.
