Rainy Sunday Morning

February 21, 2010

      I slept in --- 7:15AM - which is as long as I can sleep in with two beagle pups loose in their pen.
      Either that - or I spend a lot of time picking up poop and scrubbing their floor.

      I got them out - little cuties - they sit - butts adjacent - wait for me to lift the pen up and they scoot under.
      I used to pick up Gracie but she's BIG.

      I love to pick up Suky because she's tiny. I think her development is delayed - just like a premie. She's a runt and adorable as all get out.
      If you are looking at a new dog - try for a litter runt. They are just damn adorable.

      I wish I could have gotten Suky's brother puppy - also a runt. They are just so damn cute. I had picked him up and he haunts me.

      They went out after a tear around with one if my pink fuzzy slippers. Grace took it down from a table top - because she can. (All shoes and socks and things I don't want in beagle mouths are up in the air. Summer - the part siamese cat orange tabby queen of the house helps the puppies by throwing things down for them to get.)

      I tossed a small handful of Charlie Bears (3 cal per treat) into deep grass and off the noses went (won't be a scrap left).

      I finally found my measuring cups for dog food - yes - measured. Beagles tend to be fat and mine are living up to reputations.

      I fed them - they are now whining. I keep them separate when eating. They eat different foods. Adult and puppy.

      And it is misting heavily again!!!! ENOUGH! Rain or not - when not raining it is usually blue sky SOMETIME in the day in San Diego. Up North, it is SELDOM blue sky.

      OK - I HAVE to go get food and vitamin pills. HAVE TO. I have cat and puppy food. Need cat litter. Need milk, eggs, meat, fish, and veggies. Cold cream. Oh that's urgent!

      Have to work on taxes - I had made such a good start.

      And of course, must pay bills and deal with the mess in San Diego. Loosing a water heater and a furnace, two walls and the personal stuff in the bottom boxes to water and mold is never pleasant. At least I will be tankless, and have central cooling, although they tell me the house is under-ducted (has been since I bought it new from MacMillian) so wall air-conditioners (I had two - 26 years old) will be replaced not removed and I will eventually add a heater to the lower level. Right now I use space heaters. I am going to get a much bigger one.

      Also still working on the fences in Fremont that went over in the storm and were patched. Neighbors are silent. I gave them paperwork,

      Do not tell me that when it rains it pours!

      Puppies are soaking wet, dried and in the garage. I am dressed - more or less. Need make up and need to set up their pen. Walking not an option until this mess stops.
