Bailey and Friends

Mom is BACK!!!!!:D:D

I didn't take Maddie to the groomers after 2 tries and she was so depressed I couldn't do it anymore. I really didn't like how they trimmed up her fuzzy butt--I like it natural. So this means no groomer for Ella--I just give her a bath myself. It looks like Ella will be Kujo at the Doggie Spa after our last battle and I got the scar to prove it. :eek: We will just try that one without the blowing dry, but since she doesn't care if we use cold water in the backyard it saves me mula.

I think I had heard that about show dogs being scissor trimmed too.

I think it is really cold when it hits 37 degrees in the morning, but the last 2 mornings it has been 46 and warmed up to about 79. Sorry we just have weird weather out here even in the winter.

I like my chocolate chip cookies with the dark or milk choc. chips and made with butter--no nuts for me--thank you!!! If I had to choose nuts pecans would be my choice. There is a restaurant out here called BJ's Pizza that serves a huge choc chip cookie in a special pan and vanilla ice cream on top--they are called P'zukies (sp.) very delicious.

Here's to a wonderful Thursday!!!

I use a combination of dark and milk chocolate. Pecans is what it usually is. You can eat around the nuts. Ryan doesn't like nuts in them either.

You could try cutting Ella yourself. I did Bailey's first cut......and it was very obvious it was not done by a skilled professional! I had all the equipment when we had Peaches, but it never looked good and the blade heats up. I was worried about giving her a burn.
Still 37 degrees.

Addy-you can't tell me that that sweet little angel faced sweetie bites you! I think that when you sleep you go into the kitchen, get a toothpick, nick yourself, then go back to bed. Then in the AM you accuse Zoe. How RUDE!!!!! ;):D

Yay!!!! Tree is STILL up. It won't survive after tonight, though.

Love,
S

She does, she does for real bite me or tried to and she is fast let me tell you. She was like that from the very beginning when we sprung her from jail. That girl does not like being picked up or having her paws fussed with. But like I said, it is weird, when she is good, she is very, very good and when she is bad she is KUJO:eek::eek::eek:

It is like she gets PMS or something and can't handle things and then she chills and is so sweet. I bet it is her sex hormones.

I LOVE chocolate chip cookies, chewy and gooey not crisp and you can put white chocolate and peanut butter AND pecans AND the kitchen SINK:D:D:D:D:D

I will start taking the tree down slowly, this weekend. Big Sign, I will miss it. Does your living room look bare after all the decorations are gone?

HAPPY NIGHT
love,
addy

Heaven yes! Very bare!!
Sorry-no pb, no white chocolate, definitely gooey and I will think about the kitchen sink.
Nite!
Love,
Sus

Happy weekend!!!!!!!

Started taking the tree down last night. I was sad:(:( Looking at it and thinking about all our Cush angels was comforting.

It is another beautiful sunny day. I hope you are enjoying the same. Have you any good movies to suggest? I am in the mood for a movie tonight.

Hey Sus, did you ever get your new "do"? My hair has gotten so long it is driving me nuts. I am considering chopping it ALL off, much shorter.
If you come across any cute new hairdos, let me know. I am always on the look out:D:D:D:D

love ya,
addy

Well.....tree is down and away for another year. :(:):D I wish there was an angel somewhere who would come in 2-3 weeks before Christmas and then 10 days after Christmas and take care of all the decorating, storage chores!
Beautiful day here. 66 degrees and nice blue sky. It's about to change, I'm told.
My new "do" is in progress. The sides and the length have to grow some. Not a lot.
So far- I am "standing" it, so hopefully it will work out.
Movies-the last movie we saw was "The Help." I thought it was GREAT. I want to see the one Julia Roberts is in, the one Glenn Close is in and the one Meryl Streep is in. They're not out on DVD yet and I missed them in the theaters.....well not Julia Roberts-that one is just starting.

Do you like Peeps? CVS has BIG heart shaped peeps....for valentine's day. A pack of 6 is how they come. I just got them about an hour ago and 4 are already gone!:eek::rolleyes:

Make some popcorn to enjoy with that movie! Or buy some cheddar cheese popcorn. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.:D:D
(I gotta stop this sugar!!)
Love,
Sus

We already tried to give up sugar remember? I said I would give up Bunny Tracks ice cream. Well, actually, now that it is winter, I don't eat it. But I keep drinking orange soda:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

I want to see Meryl Streep also and maybe that Tom Hanks movie but I don't want to cry alot.

How come Animal Planet stopped all the cute dog shows on Saturday night? We had Underdog to Wonder dog and that other rescue show with the dogs going to the east coast from the south. I miss my dog shows.:o:o:o:o:o

love,
addy

Definitely no Peanut Butter in cookies---yuk, imo of course!!!:eek:

I hate the look of the house without the decorations--we took it all down last Monday. The tree went out for the trash pickup to recycle them. That tree was so dry it wasn't safe...:eek: It is all in boxes ready to put up in the attic. We wrapped most of the boxes so it looks like we have really big presents behind the tree. Then we stage the really presents on some of these boxes. It saves from having to put them away and then get them back out to pack. We store some of the items we take down for the Christmas decorations.

I couldn't resist getting more wrapping paper (I didn't need any), but Target had 90% off so I choose a few new ones--$.50 for a roll was a great price--the downer was it is only 8ft of paper. And you can not have enough tissue paper.

I am lucky I do not have to doing any trimming on Ella other than her nails. Just a wash and brushing every so often. You would think with all that fur she would need constant brushing...it might help with the shedding if I did brush more often.:p

I haven't watched the Animal Planet for a while so I cannot tell you why Saturday nights are boring!!

Happy rest of the weekend!!!!

Wow! Marie Irene is FULL of news.:)

I don't understand...."We wrapped most of the boxes so it looks like we have really big presents behind the tree. Then we stage the really presents on some of these boxes. It saves from having to put them away and then get them back out to pack.":confused::confused:
Do you wrap empty boxes? Then you put the real gifts on top of those boxes? OH! You do that with the storage boxes....right?:confused: That's kind of a cool idea.:cool:

When I lived in VA, I went out every year on the 26th for wrapping paper, gift cards, tissue and anything cool looking. I guess I haven't done that in 10 years now.....that's how long we've lived here. I guess Palmer was only 3 or 4 when we moved in here. Anyway-my wrapping paper supply is still holding up. Sometimes Hallmark puts their paper on sale before Christmas. Their paper is the only sturdy paper left out there (imo.) I'd rather pay a little more and buy their stuff than constantly using tape to mend tears. :mad::mad: Some of the paper is not much thicker than tissue paper.:mad::mad::(

I won't do Bailey's nails...and I didn't do Palmer's or Peaches. They all have had black toe nails and it's just not worth it. Too stressful.:eek:

Addy-that new Tom Hanks movie does look good....but it's probably a tear jerk-er.
I ate some ice cream last night and man did it hurt my teeth. :eek:Toothpaste hurts my teeth and gums.:eek: I may be eating baby food soon.:( I don't know what's changed. I also can no longer put hot red pepper flakes on my pizza. :(:(:confused: Just show me the nearest nursing home.:(:(:eek::(
Love and hugs-s

Okay, you are not allowed to get sick yet. You have to wait at least until February to have any kind of pain.:):)

My weakness is ribbon, I can't resist going out to buy ribbon on clearance. I sure don't need any more ribbon but I just have to buy some or I have withdrawals:D:D:D Gee- I wonder why Zoe is so much like me????:eek::eek::eek: But, hey, I don't turn into Addy Kujo. ( Well there have been a few times I felt like biting:D:p;))

I think the Tom Hanks movie will need a box of Kleenex but I might see it anyway. A good cry could be good for me.:)

Sus, maybe you just need toothpaste for sensitive gums and teeth and a softer toothbrush.

When I was crawling around underneath the tree, trying to unscrew the thinga magigs that you tighten into the tree from the stand, I got up and asked hubby "how the heck am I going to crawl around under the tree like this when I am 80?" He didn't answer:eek:

HAPPY MONDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
