Puppy Crazies
I’ve been in Kentucky for the past 2 weeks. I don’t have internet and I only ocassionaly have enough signal to send a text message. Texting was great while Mom was in the hospital I could send out batch updates. I would send out a message and we would take bets on who would respond first, can you tell we were a little bored. I had trouble finding signal in the hospital too. I think some of this could be my phone, but not all because I have had actual service in Irvine this summer just not in my mom’s house. The neighbors proably got a kick out of me waving my phone around standing on the corner of the deck.
First of all Jim is a wuss, he never took Basil to the kennel, he never took the children to the sitter I always did that. He had to go to Washington D. C. this last week, Saturday he drove to Kentucky dropped off Zoey and 4 hours later left going to Washington so he wouldn’t have to leave her at the kennel. Where someday she’s going to have to stay for a few days. First of all she stayed in the utility room for 13 hours on monday with her legs crossed, I expected she would have had an accident but she didn’t. I had to take her out at 3 in the morning but that was a small price to pay. One morning she had an attack of the puppy crazies she was running to the edge of the dining back across the living room and leaping on to the sofa spinning around jumping off and doing it all again, under the wing chair and spinning around and around. After doing this a few trips, she grabbed my pants leg and was pulling on them as hard as she could. More running, spinning as fast as she can, she can go from flat out to a dead stop in an instant and almost leap sideways onto the sofa (there’s very little forward motion). I think she scared my mom, and there really is very little you can do to calm her down. Right now she’s barking at me wanting something but she has water and I took her outside just a few minutes ago maybe she lost the ball she was playing with, gotta go look for it.

They missed the fedex truck yesterday, so… Jim had to fly the proposal to Colorado Springs early this morning. It used to be they would just buy the box a seat, someone would put it on the flight and then an employee at the other end would meet the plane. Today a person has to accompany the box. So Jim left very early this morning with a layover in Dallas where he still is. The box is checked so even though he could get on an earlier flight he couldn’t get his luggage and without it he doesn’t need to be there. He still has time to make it but its getting tighter. And tomorrow he has to be at the airport at 0400 so he can make it home for a softball game. I just remembered that will be 0300 our time, should I tell him? He has a hotel room but he’s not going to have much use for it. They proably won’t even have slipped his bill under the door when he’s already checked out.
Zoey has to do summer school for puppy class. Actually 2 more dogs from her class are repeating, one because the advanced class is just not at a convient time. Don’t know about the other one. We have two new dogs, one a gold lab named Milo, He just looks happy and just bounces the other one was late so don’t know his name but he was yippee and jumpy and all over the place. We were working on heeling and she’s doing better, I don’t know when she’s going to need to do this. We work on waiting at the doors and the street, this we use every day. Sometimes I have her sit and wait and sometimes we just stand and wait.
Suzanne you could deep fat fry your ongiri. Make them and chill in the fridge for a few minutes to kinda crust over then drop in the hot oil. I’ m watching simply Ming on tv.

I’m going to whine about bad hair. As some of you know North Alabama has experienced a drought the last few years and I had great hair, smooth and silky. But now that you have to chew the air before you can breathe it, I have fuzzy hair. I spend time smoothing it out only to have to walk the dog and you can’t tell I did anything to it. I know this is petty but! its hair. I knew when the drought came to an end it would be the end of smooth hair, but I still want the drought hair. This morning I walked the dog and it was like walking in a cloud it wasn’t actually raining but the air just felt wet. On the plus side our lawn is green on the down side of that it has to be mowed more often. Jim is outside now mowing, by the way Zoey appreciates it that the grass doesn’t interfer with going potty. She saids a great big thank you.
