Bike Path Trek

Friday, April 06, 2012

Puppies love to go on the bike path. I thought I'd share some of my pictures with you.



Above: The trees are starting to pop out. It was still a bit cool tonight but still nice to be out with the pups.



I always look at this tree bridge and wonder who utilizes it.



Always something exciting to sniff out.



To this bridge from the parking lot is roughly a half mile. A good distance for Toby's sore leg by the time we get back to the car.

We saw some solid black bunnies near the church (parking for bike path) but I couldn't tell if they were fenced or not. Didn't want to scare them so didn't get a picture for you. I can't figure out if someone has let their pets go or what. Very weird to see black bunnies, they're usually gray or brown.

Happy Easter Everyone!

Hopefully black bunnies don't fall in the same catagory as black cats for superstitious people! Thank you for sharing your walk path. Dogs are so much fun. I often wonder exactly what they are smelling. L. Report Inappropriate Comment

Great pictures! Thanks for sharing them. We got our puppies out for their walk in the sunshine yesterday, too. No seizure after for Maggie (adjusting her phenobarbital dosage appears to have helped, yay!) and plenty of sniffing happened along the way. C~ Report Inappropriate Comment

Derailed pity train

Wednesday, April 04, 2012

This came in an email and made me laugh this morning so I wanted to share it with you.

It is becoming easier to hear this reality check. When I was deep into self-pity, it just made me feel more misunderstood. These days I run from the pity train as if it were death itself. Cheese is no longer necessary with my "whine". Report Inappropriate Comment

21 Sparkly Stars for March

Monday, April 02, 2012

Well, my written record says 22 but I only count 21 on the calendar. Must have missed one some where. Sighs.

I'm excited that a few of the days has double stars. Pretty cool, eh?

Already working on April!

That is too funny...too bad it doesn't seem to be true, because I am always eating calories that no one sees and they DO add up! LOL Laurie Report Inappropriate Comment

Nicky's big surprise

Thursday, March 29, 2012

So, as you probably know, life has been super stressful recently. Sleep is suppose to be a great remedy for calming ones nerves. Unless you have a kitty who thinks bed time for you is play time for him. Meet my snuggle buddy, Nicholas:



His favorite toy is a bandaid. He usually gets his own box for his b-day in Aug. but last night, it wasn't his beloved bandaid with which he awakened me. Oh no, it was way more fun than a bandaid.

He isn't allowed outside-outside, but he does play in the garage and when we don't have seeds sprouting, the sunroom. Last night when I let him in, I didn't realize that he had a gift with him. Yup, you guessed it, he had caught a mouse in the garage and brought it in to show how mighty he is. Only, it was still alive so when he dropped it, the mouse took off. I was screaming my head off. "Get it! Get it!" and he did. But instead of bringing it back to me, he started down stairs to the basement where he promptly dropped it again. We looked and looked for the stupid thing. No luck. It had disappeared into my crafting area. Crap.

Two hours later, Nicky came upstairs and when I woke up, he was chasing the stupid mouse on MY BED! Crap, again. I trapped it in my bedspread and got it outside to let it free but yuck! I know he loves me and I love him back but he needs to learn that the way to a girl's heart is not with rodents. Ick!



Does getting my heart rate up that high in the middle of the night count as cardio? So much for a restful night's sleep. Ugh.

Oh my! Sorry my friend but I am currently laughing my a$$ off... only because my cat has done that to me too! Only he dropped the mouse - a baby no less - in my suitcase and proceeded to chase it around. Glad you were able to get the mouse out of the house. I wouldn't have been able to sleep it I knew it was still in there. Hope you get some sleep tonight! And yes... it counts as cardio in my book! Chris Report Inappropriate Comment

Yes, we too have many "fun" cat stories! Mine seem to know when company is about to arrive. The house gets extra entertainment, for the guests! Report Inappropriate Comment

NEEDTOLOSE100LB 3/30/2012 2:45PM

This story reminded me of our cat "Blackie" growing up. My grandmother had a fish pond and, since my dad didn't like catfish (we called them bullheads up north), we would release them in the pond and fed them bread. My cat would bring them home as presents. I finally caught him in the act...he would sit on the edge and wave his paw out over the water until the dumb fish would think it was someone throwing in bread, then...slap them out of the water and bring them home. Of course he would take a bite or three first....ewwww... I think the cardio counts too! You had to be hopping all over the place! Laurie Report Inappropriate Comment

I know it mustn't have been funny to you but I was laughing out loud as I read you post!!! You'd make a great cat though, you fianlly cought the poor little mouse and released it! Report Inappropriate Comment

CRAZYDOGLADYBO 3/29/2012 2:08PM

Yes it counts as cardio!!! My last cat bought into the theory that catch and play was allowed. Yuck!! Report Inappropriate Comment

oh geeeezzz.... I suppose I'm supposed to say that Nicky loves you blah blah blah... but GROSS lol... Hope things are a bit more restful tonight! ~Irish Report Inappropriate Comment

Oh ugh ugh ugh ugh!!!! I can't imagine waking up to that in your BED!!! AGH!!! We have a mouse in the house right now too - but my boys aren't as skilled as catching them. Oh Nicky.... (He is so beautiful!) Report Inappropriate Comment

Oh my Lord, I'm almost weeing myself with laughter on that one! My friends cat does the same thing and has brought her mice, birds, moles and a baby gopher. Apparently he was catting around a golf course or something for that one! Report Inappropriate Comment
