I have just two words for tonight…

Yay, Terrier group!
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I may miss one or two of the groups but NEVER the terrier group. Nice to see a couple of familiar faces in there too.
Hats off to Mary Remer and Margery Goode. Good to see you out there Ladies.
Terriers, the clowns of the dog world. Got to love them!
Congrats to Sky the wire fox terrier on the win.
Me with Joey our second Bull Terrier.

Another Westminster…
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I watched the first four groups last night. I don’t get fired up until the second night and the Terrier group though.
You better believe I will be cheering the Bull Terriers on again this year. I’d always wanted to be there if only to show in the breed. Malcolm would’ve loved it, but Gavin, not so much. He hates shows, crowds of people, and noise.
Malcolm, Veteran’s class, judge David Merriam, Devon PA
Gavin, his third show …all he wanted to do was get the hell out of there…one of the few times his ear stayed up.

More snow…shoot me now.
Posted by doggonedmysteries
You notice I don’t complain about the weather when it is warm. This is because I find winter miserable. and I actually enjoy warm weather.
A tropical beach paradise would be ideal for me, but not for The Curmudgeon. Damned shame that MS patients do not do well in the heat…and yet he keeps the furnace cranking all winter at melt down levels.
I think this calls for another chocolate martini…

I need a computer geek
Posted by doggonedmysteries
My browser is screwed up. Therefore this is going to be short.
Between that nonsense and the damned ice and snow, I am not a happy camper.
Day 38…
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Day 38, I haven’t killed them yet. The snow is not melting and it has a thick ice covering thus effectively trapping us all. Clear daggers of frozen beauty hanging from the roofs could work as weapons. The evidence would melt away once the deed is done.

Another few reasons why I need a keeper.
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I forgot my morning pills again. Finally remembered them two hours later. I’m doing this a lot lately. If not a keeper, I need an alarm to remind me.
I also completely forgot about the load of wash I had sitting in the kitchen at the top of the basement steps. Midnight and that load of wash just went into the washer.
I’d pulled some stuff from the freezer to thaw for dinner and then not once but twice went digging through the freezer for something for dinner. Yeah, I need a keeper.

Is there no end to this winter?
Posted by doggonedmysteries
My goodness I really don’t know what we’d do without the woman who clears our walks and driveway. Arlene was here yesterday in the ugliest of weather and cleared the nasty, icy snow away. She’s a real gem.
Two more storms are heading our way. (Sob) I need a beach.
Spring, can you hear us pleading for you to arrive?
Speaking of Spring, I’ll be needing volunteers to help fill in the pond, level the yard, build raised beds, and transplant flowers… *Watching people scatter in the opposite direction. Yeah, I thought not.

Superbowl? Nope. Books!
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Nope, I didn’t watch the football game. I read two books. When I get the chance to read without The Curmudgeon yapping at me I can actually zip through two books in a day.
Getting that opportunity is a rare thing. I take full advantage of it when I do get it.
One large paperback and a heavy-duty hard cover book later, I am a happy camper.

Using Yoga for the Brain
Posted by doggonedmysteries
Describe a small memory that involves someone older than you.
She held my hand. We walked down the road at a pace only an old woman and a toddler would understand. As we padded along she would stop from time to time to point out a plant, describe its use and how to remember what it did.
It is the single memory of my father’s mother that I have left. I never knew her well, we seldom saw her in later years. Most times when we visited she was shut in her room too ill to deal with young ones.
