" Even with Trinity living all the way in Texas with her Mommy and Daddy - that STILL couldn’t stop us from being able to send her that very first Tricycle for her second Birthday!  Mommy spent time putting it together for her after it was delivered by UPS - just in time to surprise that Birthday Girl!  She had to stretch to reach with her toes - but that won’t last very long!

" It was so cold this morning.  Temperatures had gone way  beyond below normal.  Dwayne stepped out to our cold kitchen to light the fireplace - but not before putting on his fleece robe and pajamas.  As he stepped into the kitchen  to make coffee - Zucker followed behind.  He sat watching Dwayne making the coffee - as if he had decided to try learning to set up the pot - himself !

I don’t know how I managed to get it done - but - I have finished two more layouts within the past 24 hours.  But I must have hurried myself badly.  I forgot to put dates on these two layouts.

I will print the darn things out and just scribble the dates on the back.  ‘Cuz I am not going through all that hassle with all those files and formats - again!  Once is bad enough.

I think the 4am wake-up schedule helps with being able to get my layouts done.  For one thing - puppies sleep until 7am - whether they want to or not.

LOL  Naw…. They usually do sleep later.

I will say this.  There is a vicious battle going on under the roof of this abode.  Seems two four-legged yard varmints are attempting to demote their masters and hijack their titles of - King and Queen!  And the party around here never stops.

Zucker has - by far - had all his woes knocked and bitten out of him by - his new puppy.

However - in the process - what remains in the ability to hear out of ears belonging to Dwayne and me is being tested to the utmost.  Last night came to an abrupt halt around 7:30pm.  Zucker had to sit with Dwayne.  Carlie had to sit with me.  The lights were dimmed.  And we were - finally - able to drop the decibel level of the television volume by several notches.

( Look very closely...  The little wench has got hold of his cheek! )

There’s something to be said - when you can’t even hear the rude uproars going on in the Canadian Olympic stadium for the Curling matches.

 

( Downright... Vicious ! )

Almost sounds like we’re raising two kids with ADD - huh?!

Carlie has - basically - surpassed Zucker in size.  She’s growing in ways that put a weed to shame.  She eats three times more than Zucker.  She’s about as tall as him.  She may weigh a couple pounds less than him.  But - those baby teeth make up a whole lotta difference.  And I think she’s figured that out!

I’ve had to put Band-Aids loaded with A and D Ointment on a finger and the thumb of my left hand - within the past 72 hours alone.  And all I was doing was - giving her one of her little peanut-butter cookies!

Note to Self ** - Stop using your left  hand to feed the dogs.  You need it more than they do!

Here are more of my efforts I’ve neglected to post here!  And - like usual - there’s a little  sumptin’ sumptin’ - after all that!

** This was a really sad situation for us to watch.  By the way - the so-called Mare caring for the colt was - actually - a full-hanging Stallion!  He was our problem - but not for reasons you may imagine.  We had him in a pie-shaped corner - barely big enough for him to turn his butt around.  Our faces were only inches away from his butt at times - holding all the barricades and rope.  Not once - did he ever - even tick a muscle to prepare for kicking any of us.  The problem was - he had never been trailered.  He was so good-natured.  Somebody got a wonderful horse out of that one.  If our barn had been already relocated and finished - we would have adopted all three animals.

" This is the face of a dog when he's got only one thing on his mind... 'Touch my feet one more time and...'  Ohhh, he was so ticked off at me after spending half the day trimming his nails and cleaning up his feet and legs.  But what is one day of him taking his turn - compared to all the days I've had to put up with his feet after they come back from the barn?  I guess he'll just have to get over it!
