It was quite a day for me as I took care of a lot of business. I started my day at Weight Watchers where I lost 1 & 1/4 pounds! What did I do differently this week? Every time I felt like eating, I ate fruit! I’m starting to think this is a good thing to do in the future.
I wore my new coat, the one I got at LL Bean along with a pair of jeans for Hubby for $7.29! I love this coat! Here is a picture of what the coat looks like.
After Weight Watchers I did a few errands in the next town before coming back home and getting the mail. I also stopped at a local ladies clothing shop and decided I am not old enough to wear their clothes. Now isn’t that a nice feeling!
I came home to four happy doggies. I took them all outside for a run, and then brought them in and started making lunch for Hubby and myself. Today’s weight loss encouraged me, so I made a nice salad with a stuffed tomato and mandarin oranges.
Hubby got home in the early afternoon and we talked while we ate the lunch. You are probably wondering what we chatted about over lunch….well, tomorrow our Grand-puppy, Bogart is coming back to us for 10 days! We are very excited about this. Earlier in the day I had gotten a picture from his Mama Alex and I was so shocked! Bogey and Arnie could be twins!
Arnie is on the left and Bogey on the right! Amazing!!!
Greta was a little bit sore when she got up this morning, but by the mid part of the day she was doing so much better. I took her outside myself today and didn’t allow too much running around.
Anneliese was pretty funny too. It seems she plays this little game with Greta. When Greta moves she dives right in an swipes her rawhide bone. They are pretty funny to watch and give me so much joy!
I never thought that I would be the owner of 4 dogs. I’d considered three because when I had Shubi and Fritz, we got Greta and three dogs was no more work than two. However, 4 dogs….well I must be just a little bit crazy!
Despite the work, and the cleaning up and the feeding, etc., I must say that these four have brought with them more love and fun and joy than I thought was possible. I never planned this. Arnie just happened to lose his home before he had even been picked up (The new owner changed her mind). What was I to do? He was, after all, “Little Orphan Arnie” then, and my heart was taken. I thought I could do it. I thought I could send him off to another home, but I couldn’t let him go.
So although I know many of you think I am mad, for me it works.
LOVE the short video!!! And mad you’re not, CRAZY you are!!
Congrats on the WW visit!
Oh I LOVE that coat! You got an absolute STEAL!
I love the pictures, love the coat, love the dogs and love YOU! Mel
I don´t think your mad. I´m happy they give you so much pleasure, even if it is a lot of work. I think if we love something/one enough, we don´t mind the work it causes.
you have the same destiny than I with my cats ! I started with one, then they were two, then I inherited the two of my son, makes four and then came Arthur ! And you are right, I don’t feel any difference between one or 5 cats, they go in and out ! I am very happy today because little Rosie ate something of her own, went to the litterbox and even found her vanity back and groomed ! All good signs. Hopefully it continues like that. The whole night she spent beside my head and purred in my ear ! So cute.
