More Snow, Oh Goody




It is snowing again. Thrill of thrill. We already have snow piled up as tall as buildings. They think we may get another 8 inches by Monday. Yes its pretty, yes it won't last, but man is it a bummer.

Zoey was really bad last night. Barely walking and for the firs time I heard her moan in pain. It just breaks your heart. We are going to pet smart today to get her some glucosamine. I wanted to research which was best, worked the fastest and would be something I could get her to eat. They have a liver flavored one with a ton of good reviews so we will get that. As fast as this came on I think she must have a acute muscle injury probably from her loving to plow through the snow. Its hard on all of us to remember we are young pups anymore.


Sugar suggested a bed but we have never been able to get her to sleep on a dog bed. Why should she when ours is so much softer and she can hog most of it.

I always said I would never have a dog sleep in my bed, but she was impossible to keep off the bed. As soon as we would fall asleep she would jump up and when we woke up in the morning there she would be, all content with tail thumping happy to greet us. I would scold her and shut the door at night but she has this horrible thing of laying by the door and rhythmically scratching at the door with one nail over and over and over and over until you just want to scream. Scritch, scritch, scritch........ like nails on a chalkboard. Zoey has always been great at training us to do as she wishes.


I am suppose to go get my hair trimmed today. It is a real wild mess. I hope it stops snowing soon as she lives out of town and may not make it to the shop. You can never plan anything for sure in this weather.

We went to my older son's the other day to exchange gifts. They bought me the neatest birdhouse. At the art splash earlier this year I had mentioned how much I loved the bird houses this man made out of old posts and pieces of metal. They went and bought me one and have had it stored every since. When I put it out this year I will take a shot and show you. It is so cool.

We bought a massive bag of birdseed the other day as the birds are just suffereing in this storm. Since I can't use the regular feeders I am taking pie tins and filling them and playing them in the snow. Seems to be working and I saw evidence the deer visited for the first time since the snow. No turkey though. I don't know what they do in the winter.

Well the new year is almost over. In many ways it was worse then I thought it would be. We went further in dept nationally then I could even imagine. The government turned out to be even more corrupt then I had feared and the terrorist chickens are attacking. What would have happened if panty boy had been successful. We have got to start insisting on them going after the people we know are likely to attack us. I hear our government is searching babies. Sure, search the babies but let the suspected terrorist with no luggage, no visa, and shifty eyes board without a blink. Watch your traveling companions people.

They say the system worked? Only because a dutch passenger took the man out. No thanks to our government controls. Other countries profile, this country needs to do that also. To hell with stepping on some feelings. These people don't play by the rules. The cowardly attack women and children hiding in the crowd instead of fighting like a man, or women.

On one of the flights that had problems people admitted they had concerns about the person one the plane but got on anyway. They didn't want to profile. Well I say. Profile. Your lives may depend on it.

Oh and one other thing. I want just a plain background for my blog. Not a 3 column one. Anyone know how to get one? Thanks.

the dog bed i was talking about is made specially for dogs with arthritis, & elderly dogs. it's suppose to aid them in positioning. some are even slightly heated. maybe if you lay it right beside your bed, so she's still a part of you, reach down & stroke her as your both falling asleep. esp since you said she can't jump up & off of bed anymore.
if you out, be sure & dress warmly, & be safe!!!

the snow still looks like fun although i know it's a pain in the ass with so much of it..here's hoping Zoey feels better soon...for the new background, i went to my Dashboard, then clicked on Layouts, then you can pick a new template. there were a few close to 'plain' but knot sure any of them are just plain. good luck finding one...

Poor Zoey. I hope she feels better soon. I think all that snow and cold is rough on her and all living things. Good for you feeding the birds. Helen

My prayers on the smoke for Zoey continue hon. I know I worry about Pickles (yes she's young yet), she have trouble with her leg going stiff to the point she can't walk on it. It's usually when she's been romping in the snow.

Wanted to stop by and wish you a wonderous journey into the new decade. Happy New Years! (Hugs)Indigo
