Tuesday, January 31, 2017

Good morning. It was 40° when I awoke after a crazy sleep. Fortunately, it's quickly warming to 70° by noon. That's more like it; and tomorrow it's back to normal with a high of 76. 

I see Rocky is sleeping in our Bougainvillea outside the living room window. Poor guy is all fluffed up keeping warm. It's time to feed him meal πŸ› and get the bird seed out for our cardinals. What a life! Our squirrels (4) are happily living in the oak tree out back as it's full of acorns! Yep, we're nuts! πŸ˜‚

Sue and I had a good old gab this morning and she sent me something interesting about pets in Alaska. 

 

Pets are gaining rights; soon support will have to be a shared expense. πŸ˜›

Sue wondered how Randy had fared with onions in his socks for the cold. When we spoke with him yesterday, he sounded quite a bit better. The report was that there were only a couple of little shreds of onion left in his socks when he woke up the next morning. Now, Sue wonders if he may have eaten them during the night as we know he suffers from "night eating syndrome." LOL. Regardless, do not eat any onion soup at the "Staggerman's" this week. πŸ˜…

I talked to Jim G today and am happy to hear he's doing very well with his knee replacement. (That's a rough surgery/recovery!) Jim has a new therapist who he finds is helping a lot. Nice he got to the lake last weekend. (We're looking forward to visiting this summer.) 

Mark puttered about and cleaned Da Mounty, even vacuuming it. (No need to worry Randy, Mark loves his hunting truck!) Touch up paint was applied carefully and scratches covered! 

It was dusting and laundry day for me. No, it wasn't very exciting but it had to be done. We are having a gathering on Saturday night to play Mexican dominoes and drink some wine. There will be seven of us ... and Ken will be a domino beginner. Laughs are guaranteed. 

Robbie and Bee pestered me til they got rawhides tonight. (I guess it's like people relaxing with a movie or a good book.) Darn, those good quality ones are $2.50 each x 2 for a couple hour's chewing. Ka-Ching! But, we have to buy the good quality ones ... 8" Retriever rolls ... 
 
These are the ONLY rawhide chews we allow our aggressive chewers! (All the other split apart and end up in big gooey chunks.) 

Well, I guess that's it for tonight. Mark has the hockey game on and it looks like a good one! Ta Ta.
