“A special box came for ME today.”

“Okay, for da stinky brudder Gavin and for me.” Lucy mutters under her breath, “It’s all mine! Not da brudder’s.”

Play with me
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Lately, Gavin has been bugging The Curmudgeon to play throw the KONG Genius Leo Dog Toy for him at least twice a day. It looks like good exercise for The Curmudgeon since to get the toy from Gavin he has to work at it.

Picture day
Posted by doggonedmysteries
She’s exhausterpated from doing nothing all day.
Pouncing on her brudder doesn’t count.
Does this look like the face of a brudder humping stinker?
Poor Gavin.

I saw a robin today…
Posted by doggonedmysteries
According to the forecast, we will have a lovely day today. A high of 41 degrees sounds almost Springlike after the cold we’ve had.
Does seeing a robin yesterday trump all the dire six more weeks of winter groundhog predictions? I hope so.
Lucy was a very good girl about going outside in the bright sunshine we had yesterday. I’m sure she is looking forward to Spring as much as I am.
Gavin has always been a homebody and never enjoyed going away from his yard or house. Therefore, we didn’t take walks in the park with him. Lucy is another story. Looks like we’ll be going for daily walks in the park as soon as the weather gets nice enough to do so.
This will be a great way to drop both hers and my weight and we can work on her training too. Socializing her is easy. She loves people and new places.
You all have a good one!

Letters from the pups.
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Dear Readers,
Dis winter weather is too much. I do not like it one bit. When are we going to hit dat lottery dat Momma says will give us a nice warm beach house? (Deep sigh)
Momma says at least I has been a good girl and pooped outside the last two times. But I’ll tell you what, it is so cold and windy I might not go out later. If I do, I might just pee on the top step or inside at the door.
Phooey on 18 degrees and forty-five MPH winds.
Can you all tell Old Man Winter to pack his bags and leave?
Dis be Lucy signing off.
Dear Readers,
My sister is such a wuss. I go out in the snow without a hoodie and hat.
You all take care and stay warm.
Gavin.

Laughing at Lucy.
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Oh, this poor girl truly hates snow and cold. She is a creature after my heart. We heartily agree that the cold and snow can go away.
She protests every trip outside and is quick to dash back in. Then she insists on a warming period on the couch all wrapped up in her fuzzy blanket. Tonight she is sporting her grey one since the gold blanket is in the dryer at the moment.
She is so different from Gavin who doesn’t mind the snow in the least and hates to be covered up.
What a pair. We love them and they always manage to make us laugh.

I hear it’s normal to want to run away…
Posted by doggonedmysteries
It breaks my heart when The Curmudgeon has a bad day as he did yesterday. I also get angry. Angry at his Multiple Sclerosis and angry at him.
The disease for taking a strong man and destroying all that he once was.
Him for giving up and not fighting back. For sitting in his damned chair every day and letting the freaking disease beat him.
I wish we had a light at the end of the tunnel but we know there isn’t an end to this tunnel. Thus no light ahead of us.
Secondary progressive MS is not like cancer where you can cut away at it, radiate it, bombard it with chemo-therapy, and have some hope of regaining your life.
Yes, we have more days of hopelessness than hope.
Winter makes it ten times more depressing to be him and to be the person who loves him watching him fade away.
Somewhere there’s a beach house with my name on it. Heck, I’d take a beach shack these days.

Too too cold!
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Dear Readers,
I would not go out last night for my last out without my hoodie and hat. It was too cold! I could’ve frost bited my ears, tail, and feeties!
I plunked my butt down in the kitchen and barked at Mommy when she tried to get me to go out nekkid. I would not let her take me to the back porch without my hoodie and hat.
I should have some warm booties. Momma and Daddy have warm booties. It’s not fair.
I protest this mistreatment of my princess self. I should not have to go pee and poop out in the cold, with that white stuff.
Sincerely,
Lucy, Princess extraordinaire.
Dear Readers,
My sister is an idiot. Yes, it was windy and cold but I went out without a coat and my hat.
Sincerely,
Gavin

When is it going to stop?
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Momma looked out the window and she says it is snowing again. NOOOOOO! This cannot be!
It is no fair! I say it should warm up and the sunshine be tickling my behind as I roll in the grass. Stupid white stuff falling from sky is not nice.
I told Momma she has to get me some boots like hers so I can walk in the white stuff without my feeties getting frozen. My name is not Elsa it is Lucy!
Stupid white stuffs. This be Lucy signing off!
Signed,
Gavin

Attack of the killer dust bunnies!
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I thought I’d attempt to clean my desk. It’s been a while and the dust bunnies running races across the surface and diving under the computer monitor were my first clue that it was time.
Any cleaning done around here is attempted cleaning. Why? Well, I have two dogs and a husband that all think I am their slave. I am subject to their demands from the time I get up until they all are down for the night.
And you people wonder why I am up until the wee hours of the morning and sleep in so late. Ha!
As it was, I spent most of the time clearing and cleaning off my desk while dodging around Lucy who felt she had to be the center of it all.
Three times she took of with my Swiffer duster. She felt real smart having invented a new game of chase me!
Tomorrow, after everyone is off to bed, I will attempt to clean the book cases.
More cold and snow
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I beg you please wish for the Momma to win the lottery. I do not like dis weather. She sez if we winz, we go lives on a warm beach.
Daddy took a little tumble on the porch this morning and I couldn’t wait for him and I didn’t want to go out in the cold and white stuff so I peed in front of the door before he could open it. Daddy sez I am a bad girl. I don’t like the white cold stuff, I’m not bad. You believes me don’t you?
*Whispers* I heard Momma tell Daddy that she was going to replace the rug runners there in the spring anyway.
Lucy
My sister is an idiot. She should just chew on these toys and go out when she’s supposed to.
*Gavin*
