Good Morning- Having been up for almost 3 hours already- (and having accomplished very little except laundry), I realize I should finally be able to throw a few more seeds in my little garden. It has been tilled 3 times already- waiting for me now... I did get some flower seeds in, and wait patiently for them to grow and bloom so we can have them on our table! Another 2 months for that-
I know you are waiting to hear about Casey- and her upcoming trip to Froedtert- If I knew anything at all, I would share this with you. Seemingly, I can neither contact her regular doctor- or the doctor she had while in the hospital. It took that office 4 days to get all the papers together just to get them faxed to Froedtert. Am getting very very upset. ...Perhaps I need to take a little ride to the hospital AND to her doctor. Why on earth do they leave her in pain?
Amos (our cat) had sequestered himself in the back laundry room for the past few days-
Usually this means I will soon be smelling a dead mouse- (& Where he puts them only God himself knows). Hunting for the source reveals only the smell, but never the evidence. Perhaps Amos has finally realized (after 13 years?) that I do not care for this hide-and-seek routine of his. Yesterday he brought me his "catch" of the month.
I almost had a heart attack when I realized I had almost stepped on, (barefoot no less), a dead chipmunk! ...
The fact that he had placed it on the rug, (and IN MY KITCHEN)!!! only had me bleaching rugs in addition to the kennel!
As far as the 10 little dogs go; they are well, and I suppose are getting used to the fact that Miss Milly only is near them to relieve her milk. Hope all of their adoptive parents understand this- It is not quality spent time for them. I try to spend as much time as I can petting and loving them and playing... Yesterday, as you can see from the photo above- they even played with my tulips!?! Oh boy..... But they eat well- 3 gallons of puppy chow each day- I mix their breakfast and supper with warm water- and lunchtime they actually get to chew their chow. (Puppies chew everything)! At this point, they are so rambunctious and chew on each other too while they are playing.
They sure are great little kids- and I have not had to clean up too many messes in the kennel either- During the day, they mostly wait for me to let them out- and overnight is not too bad either. Knowing they really still are babies I do clean up a bit in the morning, but not too much- Not even compared to 3 days ago. Am happy about their sense of clean, and if I had the time available, I would have them all housebroken in a big hurry.
So now you are 'filled in' on the daughter, the dogs and the damnable chipmunk. I need to go figure out where the darned thing even got in- found myself looking for an opening even as I tried to cut lawns yesterday. -I say 'tried' because the belt kept coming off for me- Tried to get as far as I could- but then it finally broke- Had KC pick up a new one after she was done with college for the day... Will try to put it on this morning- (Perhaps that will frustrate me just enough to have an appropriate attitude when I go in search of her doctors then)!
Hope all is well with all of you!
XOXO
