But she got over that too, eventually - but about a year after she was potty trained at home. They seem to come around - eventually!
Aw, poor Miss FR!!

I figure, they all go to kindergarten potty-trained, right?

Oh, my.

The dust seems to have damaged my violin.

Little miss FR makes me wish I had a daughter instead of all the hairy manly men boys I gave birth to.

A very expensive day here, as our Lab has a torn crutiate. Dang! That's the one thing I didn't want to hear, since it requires surgery and our Golden had two already. Vet said so far it's a minor rupture, and can wait until we pay two college tuitions and possibly take a vacation. That brings us to Oct I think.

I also pulled something in my back lifting said Lab out of the car, so I'm headed off to bed with Hopes. I don't have quite as many happy drugs as she does though. Let's see what this bottle of wine can do, shall we?

A real one or the itty bitty one that someone keeps needing?

Hope you feel better Mattie.

The itty bitty one I use as background music for select threads.

Sorry Mattie! Take good care of yourself.

We need an emoticon for that - where's Zim? She finds the best ones.

Me too. But I just couldn't let the credit card thing go. She's glossing over it. I can only imagine how furious her mom was.....

On another note - our dumb cat - the one who ran out of lives long ago, is convinced there is something on the wall and is precariously sitting on the skinny ledge on the second floor. He's seeing things. He really is a dingy cat.

Every once in awhile Macie will do something similar. It's a good thing she's cute and sweet because I'm convinced she's not the sharpest tool in the shed either. She went through a time a year or more ago where she was scared to go in the kitchen. If a toy rolled in there she would just stop and go no further. For awhile, I was convinced we had some kind of critter that she could hear or smell...but I cleaned out all of my lower cupboards and saw nary a sign....she got over it but I will catch her staring at the wall or ceiling from time to time. If the house was older I might wonder about hauntings LOL.

Happens to the best of us, you guys. (not the credit card thing, the chiming in thing).

Oh dear. Our big cat has long hair, and he's been outside rolling in the weeds and what have you. Well now he has all these sticky little seeds stuck in his hair and has some glorious matts going on. I've tried brushing regularly - but did I mention he's a cat?

So I've had to go at him with the scissors, to get the matts out, and now he looks like he has a mohawk, with long hair down his spine and a bunch of thin spots on his body. I think he's quite embarrassed, but he's keeping a brave face.

Sorry to hear about your dog, Mattie.
