I wrote up my adventures in caterpillaring for writing class and each of us there read our story aloud. Not too far into reading mine the teacher (retired Marine, retired school teacher) started rolling her eyes, shaking her head, and saying nooooooo. She did see the humor it

If you're going to run a caterpillar ranch, there should be a lot of side-splitting anecdotes to tell ;)

Jerilyn, did someone check your friend's closet for portraits?

Kathy, it looks like you and Jim just missed the houndies in Toronto!  But at least you're home safe.

Ah happy houndies greeting their mommas. :wub:  When I come in from the garage, I look for little white toes just visible in the hallway.  It's not as dramatic as having Charlie slam into bounce up against me, but I'll take it.

Jupiter has decided he's afraid of the kitchen floor but only after our post-nap walk when it's time for his dental chew (which he LOVES).  Truthfully, the floor can be slippery for wet houndie paws but he'll come into the kitchen any other time. :youcrazy

Bitzi, I hope your street gets finished ASAP so you don't hab noise and barriers and prolly weird smells too. 

Miss Patsy, I'm so sorry that you lost someone you respected and cared about. :kiss2

Miss Kerry, I'm so glad that Merlin visited you in your dreams wif happiness and lub.  :wub:  I bet he knew you were under too much pressure at werk and were stressed and exhausted and he came to give you a special reminder ob how wonderful you are. :kiss2

Tiller gets a slumber party wif the Aussie hounds!  And there won't be a hurricane dropping by as well! :yay 

Oh, Miss Jerilyn, what heartbreaking news about 2 young "old" friends.  I'm so sorry. :grouphug  Miss Kerry is so right about how arbitrary and fragile life is. :kiss2

Miss Kathy, I'm glad you are home and can get your girls today.
What a difficult memory of working so hard to save your father and then losing him. :grouphug

Aw, lookit Sadie coming to cheer us all wif her snoot!

Caroline, are you posting from your phone, computer, or laptop? 

B    U   S        <--- at the top of the comment box.

Somehow you have touched that S with the line through it. You can click on it and drag your mouse/cursor backwards to make it go away. Or erase it all and retype, making sure that the S isn't activated.

Noah's vet visit went well this morning. Since he is getting a dental next month my vet requires all (non-emergency) surgical patients to have had the Bordetella vax.  We reviewed what we've tried so far for his itchy-itchies.  Not trying Apoquel again. Didn't help and cost way too much. We will now do a one month trial with Atopica (clyclosporine) and Ketoconazole, both of which works differently than Apoquel.  Bonus points for being much cheaper!

THANKS  Miss Ducky, mom found the U & hit it now the line is gone.

Our street is fine &  so smoooth. In fact Mr K who walks his little, very little dog while on a skate board was seen going down the street with his dog in his arms.

Tiller glad to hear that hurricane has decided not to visit you,

Bitzi hoping when she checks in this evening Gabe will be home , Let the fun begin.

No lawn chemicals ever used here, with the except of treating individual fire ant hills with a liquid that goes deeper into their ant cave below the surface. There's occasional poison ivy on the fence but I snip that off. We discussed food today but changing the protein won't work here cuz Mr Ducky buys all kinds of junk cookies and doles out way too many of them all day long. :angry:

Here, in Florida, they don't teach about 9/11 in school because ca1a20_6b61872957eb4ef6975f247ba51858c5~  it upsets some people. :headwall

Gabe is on the way! :banana   I can't wait to hear the stories. :hehe

I pulled out a possible set of clothes for Maine and... one again.... everything is black.  Back to the drawing board. <_<

Ducky, sounds like someone else needs some rule-boundaries-limitations.

Elizabeth, some people need a swift kick in the unmentionables.

They wanted a picture of Gabe with his new family, so I took several in Donegal.  I thought this was so cute because of the way they are all looking at each other.  He is adorable!  Stunningly beautiful, of course, and a sweet, gentle soul.  He and Kiva were so lovely together. Cindy will tell you more of his and Lacy's escapades when she has had some rest.  She's had a busy week!  :nod
