Bailey and Friends

OMG....she's BACK!!!! :D:D:):):)
I couldn't have stood it much longer.
What's the outcome of the hot dog caper? Maybe I'll find the answer to that over on your thread. :confused:
I just took Bailey for one of our longest walks to date. It is SO MUGGY :eek: outside. I am thinking about getting into the cool tub.

Thanks for the comments on the stones. I like the "idea" of the frog best, but the glass colors didn't come out as I had planned. When you make these things, you put down the glass then add the concrete. That means you need to put down the pattern as if you were looking from the back. Most glass has two different sides....and I think one of the feet got cut on the wrong side. I still need to make 2 or 3 more. I have to let them cure for 1-2 weeks. So-right before my surgery I will place them. I'm eager to see how they'll look. I already have a sail boat and a ?? (something else) in place. I may do some with just pieces of different glass to separate the designs from one another. I won't even have to cut that glass!!

I hope Mom is settling in some. I hope you've gotten some sleep.

Keep up whatever you're doing. It looks good on you!:)
Love,
Sus

Where has this year gone????!!!!! :confused:

I cannot believe it is time for another surgery and it seems like you just got back from the last one!!!:eek:

The stepping stones look great and I like the idea of just pieces of glass in some to separate the designed ones. :D

Have a great weekend and take some more long walks with
Bailey--bonding time--hehe!!!:p

Night, night, Sus,

I hope you had a good Friday, your voice is back and you and Bailey had a nice day.

Counting down the days untill your foot surgery. Hope everything goes well. I can picture you now, in the recliner trying to post to our threads and yours while flying high on your meds. You were a hoot last time.:D:D:D:D:D:D

Aw, Sus, where does the time go? glad it passes us by while we are hanging out with good friends.

Love,
addy

Sus beautiful stepping stones!!!!!!!:) And Bailey is soooooo cute!!! :DLove the pics!!! glad you are feeling alittle better - sorry you have surgery again:( Addy is taking the Culturelle I take the Align - wow we are a sad group!!! hahahahaha:D Thinking of you and prayes always!!

Good Morning and it is Afternoon for you!!!
Checking in for the weekend and Miss Ella is sleeping at my feet--such peaceful moments I cherish!!!!:D:D I think she thinks everything is a game and doesn't know her own strength when she goes in for the bite or jump into you--you are lucky Bailey doesn't weigh so much. We have the walking down pretty good now--she doesn't pull to go after other dogs like she did. She goes when I want her to--maybe I am the boss...sure!!!:rolleyes:

Keep up the good work of getting better. I guess we will see how silly your stories get once you are on your meds from the surgery--Addy will have good responses I am sure. Where the heck is Carrol she could play with the best of you!!!!???? :confused::eek:

Have a wonderful weekend!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh..........I miss Carrol as well. She is quite a character!:)
Bailey is still waiting at the bus for Miss Ella.....so they can go off to "boot camp" together.;)
Bailey is walking better on her leash as well. I KNOW I am still NOT the boss!!:(
I hate to bring about bad luck, but the biting thing seems to be easing up just a bit. Every time she does it I completely remove access to my hands....and firmly say "no." When she approaches and does not bite, she gets excited praise. I found that if she could have access to any part of my hands, to her, it was still a game.....HER game. She doesn't need to have a finger....the back of my hand will do. We are getting there slowly.

I will say..........feel badly about this....how I really miss Palmer...especially with the surgery coming up. Palmer would come and cuddle if I asked. Bailey won't. Palmer knew when something was wrong. Bailey doesn't. On the other hand, Palmer never put his neck on my neck or the top of my head. Bailey does.:) I've just really been noticing Palmer's absence recently. I did ask Bailey if Palmer knew she was "biting" me. She didn't answer.:(

Sometime you'll need to break your soup recipe down better. I am a totally can't wing it cook. I need quantities, dimensions, exact ingredients. I just never got to be a wing it cook. Probably my accounting background......or my weirdness.

Have a GREAT weekend all. It is one lousy day here.

HUGS-
Susan

Where is this Boot Camp? Do we get a reprieve for how long? I am hoping a week....:D:D haha!!! I would miss the silly pup, but not the mischief she makes--sometimes it is cute, but a lot of times I lose it!!!:eek:

I know I had a few moments today of missing Maddie like the walks--it was just so relaxing with her doing her thing and me mine--like drinking coffee. Then we were discussing fixing the ceiling from the rains last Dec/Jan (yep haven't gotten around to it because 1. the skylight hasn't been fixed yet)--it just reminds me of when I found out she had cancer and saw her just go downhill through the holidays. Of course she is my screen saver on the desktop computer--I am a crazy to keep her there, but....:o

Ella is a cuddler where Maddie was not so much. Ella loves to lay next to you in bed when it is time to get up. She also likes to lay at your feet under the table and she will also lay touching you while you work in the kitchen--she likes to touch you for some reason when she sleeps. I am not complaining...:p And she gives kisses and Maddie was very stingy with hers.

Today I said I was going to breakdown the mini condo and put it up in the attic-my daughter said why don't you get rid of it (she is good at getting rid of stuff)-I said remember the breeder said this wasn't our last dog-my husband said yes when Ella is six we are getting another one so she can train it and put it in their place; we should have done that with Maddie because she would have done a great job...:D:D

Okay moving on....the soup recipe isn't that hard because you can really just use a beef broth recipe out of a cook book and then use veggies along with the meat from the bones you want for the end result--season to your liking. I like recipes too, but I have learned somethings I just wing it by taste from making it so often. You will do just fine and you are not weird most of the time....:D

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!!! :):)

Hey Marie!

I have Palmer rotating on my desktop screen saver and my desktop. I am crazy, too!

When it is very wet around here, we often get ants coming inside trying to escape the wet. I haven't seen any for almost one year. Today I have them strolling around my desk top. They are the teeny, tiny little ones....and they really bug (ha,ha) me-but I'd rather them than the red ones or the large ones. They won't survive long. I haven't yet figured out where they're coming in. It's usually the sliding door, but I don't see any there. I sprayed anyway.

Lazy day today. Just vegged out. I always feel regretful when I do that. It feels like I'm wasting time.

Have a good Monday!

Hugs,
Susan

Happy Monday Guys,

Dog hugs are the best hugs and cuddles. Zoe will cuddle in bed but Koko cuddles on my lap. So if you need two kind of cuddlles, you need to get another dog:D:D:D:D:p:p:p:p

We had ants last spring, drove me nuts, I finally had to get the little ant houses but the Ace hardware guy had me get the ones with double poison. It took a week but they have not been back. That and spraying their trail with vinegar.

My motto is 'It's me or the ants" and "Take no prisoners":p:p:p

Well gals, it is Monday and I am off to work, singing my favorite song, I'm at work and I don't care!!!

Cha, cha, cha all day!!!!!!!!!

Love ya,
Addy

ANTS!!!! I hate the little boogers!!!:eek::eek:

I see no purpose for them at all. We get the little dark ones--I just say the ants are visiting again. I use alcohol to kill them; haven't tried vinegar (smells :eek:), but I know it would work. We did get a spray for outside that seems to work well and keeps them away for a while. Also, another type was was a kinda gel that I put on a piece of foil and then they come and eat it take it back to their nest--really funny looking because they circle the spot of gel.

I know the feeling if I don't get stuff done I feel like I am wasting time, but this year I just don't want to do anything most of the time.

Addy, I really like the work song--so fitting...cha cha cha!!!!
