DOG CONEs TO THE RESCUE!

Monday.

got here fast.

got here too too fast.

I will tell you how fast it got here.

I woke up and I thought my MOm was still alive.

I had to remember that she was gone and has been for almost 5 years.

That means someone could have been born when she died and they would be a whole 5 years old.

Freaky.

so...this face brought me right back around to NOW

This is Charlie. He is on most days....my best friend. 

Wherever I am...he is at my feet.

 OR ever since he saved my life

... next to me on the sofa..

while I was away at the HAVEN Conference, 

my husband texted me and said that both, 

well two of our 3 dogs...

 had itched them selves so bad they had raw spots. 

Gross? yes!

....and I am sure, quite painful.

We treat them for fleas and ticks and ticks and fleas 

with this and that

but it had been brutally hot while I was away and I think 

the combination of the heat

and being outside more while hubby was at work

their back sides were on fire!!

Hence....the collars...

The Vet recommended the collars and letting everything dry out - 

no cream or medicine...just let it be.

They have helped immensely, their backsides are healing...

 and on top of everything else...

they never cease to make me smile!!!

MONDAY....

Sorry to be so short and sweet but...

You know how when your house is a 

mess and finally you get so frustrated with the house and yourself...for caring so much and driving everyone crazy trying to keep it clean that you throw up your hands and say

"I give up! Its not like my house is 

being photographed for a magazine or anything!"

well, this afternoon, my house IS being photographed for a magazine

.....just a local thing...but I have to go clean!

Oh my.

I was just typing and thought I had an ant on my arm....

I made a new friend!

Happy Monday!
