Good morning! Friday! Lots of good adventures coming today and throughout the weekend and I am sitting here with COFFEE CUP on the cusp of my day but instead… doing nothing. 🙂
It will get busy soon. 😉
My regular readers know we have three dogs. I did not mean to have three dogs. Two years ago we were down to just Bailey, our now 16-year-old shih tzu. Then Sammy (estimated at the time to be a year and a half) came along in April 2012… a stray, abandoned, unwanted cute as a button and homeless and we took him in. Three months later we rescued Mater, an abused Beagle/Basset hound, about 4 months old and in need of a “forever home”.
It’s funny because while they can be really fun they are also a real handful. For instance, there is no such thing as giving one of them a taste of whatever you are eating… IE a burger or popcorn. Nope, that is three faces looking up at you so everything is three tastes. On the bright side… I think I may eat less 😀
Just this week I was going to give them a bone. I buy these real meat bones from the meat department at our grocery store. They like them a lot and the vet says it is good for their teeth. I realized I only had two bones left in the package I had bought. Two bones… three dogs. I had some rawhide bones too so I gave Sammy and Mater the real bones, and gave Bailey, who doesn’t have as many teeth as the younger ones, a rawhide bone.
I am not proud of what I did. 😯
Well, it was like having three children and one received something different. Bailey looked at the other bones… then at his. Then…
at me.
I felt like poo.
Thankfully I dug around in the refrigerator and did find another lone bone from another package that I was saving because I did not have enough to give all of them. Lesson learned. I need three of everything. 😀
In about 45 minutes I have coffee with a friend, then a meeting at the library, followed by a few errands to run and ending up at the gym by early afternoon. Book review up later and later yet… a fun kickoff tot he weekend post you will not want to miss. 😀
How is your weekend shaping up? Any plans?
Book Journey 
I love your dogs, they always make me smile!
They usually make me smile 🙂 Although sometimes I feel I say “Mater!” as much as they said “Beethoven!” in the one movie….. 😉
I think those dogs came to you for a reason. I’m heading off to a lunch for Sarah Addison Allen! I’ve never read her work yet I’m all kinds of excited.
Have a blast Kathy! I know you will 😀
Awe, cute doggies. We have another “ice” day so I get a three day weekend. yay.
The weather has really been awful this winter… we have had so many chill days with temps dipping to 30 below zero. A friend of mine just told me that their heating bill went over $1,000 last month. 😯 How can people afford that?
I can just see Bailey looking at you disapprovingly….LOL
Its crazy because he is pretty much blind, but he knows things Laurel! He knows things! 😆
I have had multiple pets in my younger years, but right now we just have one cat… We are ‘cat-sitting’, though, and the guy can’t figure out that he has to feed the cats at the same time. Our cat is going to be a blimp by the time the visiting cat goes home.
LOL… food hoarding 😀
On the one hand I want a dog (or two or three) so badly, but on the other, I can’t see walking them when the weather is as cold as it has been! If we had a yard, maybe….
We have a fenced in area off our back deck – thank goodness! I just have to open the door and let them go do their thing….
Awww! You are so fortunate to have so many dogs to love. i’ve wanted a dog since we got married (45 years in March). Hubby is resisting. I keep telling him, if he goes before me, the first thing I’m doing after the funeral is replacing him with a dog. 🙂
My hubby keeps telling me that Mater and Sammy are mine. It is true that I brought them into the home (both of them) without consulting… counting on his love of dogs to soften his heart 😉 SO far… so good… I do now however think I would get away with a 4th (nor…. do I want to!)
Bless you for taking in three dogs! If my husband wasn’t such a stickler we’d have a houseful!
