I Love A Rainy Night

Thursday - Sewed up some things on the sewing machine; Hubby came home at 6:00 and we had to drive to Spoky-Jo to drop off parts at the "old man's" shop. His name is actually Don and his wife is Lucille. They are a wonderful couple. We refer to Don as "the old man" because he is still doing machine work in his small garage at age 91!

Harriet was playing outside today and tore another toenail on the ice. I have scheduled an appointment at the vet for her to go into at 2:30 on Friday. Isabelle has been so upset with not being able to sleep in her own bed all day long that she has been refusing to drink enough or pee. Going outside just once a day to pee is not enough. I think we have another bladder infection on our hands. So Izzy is going into the doctor too.

Friday - It has been raining for a few days now. The snow has been melting & along with the rain, flooding is everywhere. However, the ground is still too frozen for the water to leech into. So our driveway is an ice pond.

I totally forgot that Bud has not been Micro-Chipped, so he goes into the Vet on Monday. Yesterday morning on the way out to the truck with Bud & Bit, both dogs decided to go out to the highway & run away. I panicked for a while, but found them when I saw some cars braking about a mile away towards the west. Driving the truck quickly over the icy driveway, and then out onto the road, I caught up with them. Came up behind them as they trotted down the road, honked at them, threw on my safety flashers & loaded them up into the truck. Bad puppies. Thank goodness they did not get hit. So from now on they are not to be trusted. It was 'Lil Bit that actually was the instigator. Don't really understand why he wanted to run out into the road.

Tweak went to live with the girls at the Latte Stand. They have been talking about getting a Schipperke for a while, and they fell in love with him when I brought him along. They have re-named him Waylon. Such a happy little, panting dude. He smiles all the time. Thank goodness he had a happy ending from away from the drug home! Chyna takes him into the latte stand with her and inbetween smiling at customers, he sleeps in the kennel she has in the corner for him!

While cruising the websites, on Yahoo Groups I found the Dog Rescue Railroad - a group of people that volunteer to Drive dogs to and fro. There was a group on there that was desperately seeking sweaters for Chihuahuas and Pits. So I will go through all my dog apparel & send them some.
