Hubby has left me... just for the night & only to go help his buddy, D.M., deliver some Alpacas to Connecticut. From OH to CT... a nice LONG trip!!I have my doggies, computer, & tv to keep me company! Believe me, I have a lot to do... even if I didn't turn the computer on! ... or if I didn't turn the TV on!!
On another note, I'm really enjoying being on Twitter... it allows you to type short thoughts or reply to other peoples thoughts (tweets) ... so, again, if you hadn't seen me for awhile on here... Come check on me at Twitter. (I have a link on my home page, now... for easy access.)
I have it set up now so that I can send a tweet from my cell phone. However, I do NOT have it set up to send me any updates from anyone... because of being limited on # of messages. So, I won't tweet that much from my cell until my trip...
Which is in 15 DAYS!! If you go to my home page here, you will see I've changed the countdown!
Also, I've changed the background to "showcase" my creation... I think it goes rather well with the roses, don't you think? Maybe I should make a theme from it! LOL!!! (Laughing only because I already have a mental list of things I want to do tonight... & I doubt I'll get to 1/2 of them!)
Oh, if you're wondering how I am doing, back pain & all... well, today is NOT the day to ask! Let's just put it that way! I just hope that I won't be in this much pain when I go to Az...
If I am, I think my 1st stop when Dad gets me back to his place will be to hop in the jacuzzi that's on site!! After being on 2 planes for over 4 hours... yeah... JACUZZI here I come!!!
*Mental note... better make that written note... need to get some of that "Airborne" or whatever to keep from getting other peoples illnesses! A cold or flu strain seems to be making it's round around here!!*
GOOD NEWS, btw... Hubby had an interview the other day. Though, he's not heard back yet... *goes & checks his email... nope nothing yet* ... He is supposed to hear something from them today. So, I have been given with the task of checking his email in case they send the notification that way.
AND... Coleman started eating out of the dog food bowl again... Wait, did I tell you all about that?
I tell you that dog is a strange one... Couple weeks ago, we believe his tags hit the bowl (which is one of them metal type, not plastic) & we believe it spooked him... because he would not even approach the bowl to eat.
What was odd though, he would drink water, which is in the same type and right next to the food bowl.
To get him to eat, hubby went so far to feed him by hand... then started putting it on the rug... Then I started adding a little beef broth type and got him to eat it from a paper plate... Though, he still would not eat it from the silver bowl.
We even tried a plastic one, & for some reason he was still spooked... AND we even moved the bowl out of the kitchen. He ate every day, but we had to coax him on top of all the above mentioned.
So, about a week ago while at the store, I picked up a "topping" that is a little bit of oils... it's supposed to help their coats & skin (which both have had dry skin lately because of the weather)... and he seemed to have enjoyed it...
So, each night I've been gradually getting him back to the bowl... Sure enough... the last couple nights he's ate directly from their own bowl & in it's spot... but still needed us to stand beside him to coax & praise him. (Wonder if Sunny snapped at him one time while we were away... Nah... they usually don't eat when we're not here.)
Anyway... now he just needs to eat on his own without our prompting. Which since I'm by myself tonight, I'll probably try!
Other than all that... things have been pretty calm this week. Thankfully! After last weekend, I needed it to be!
Ok... the lack of sleep last night and a Vicodin is kicking in... so, I think I'll go snooze for a bit... or at least lay & watch a bit of tv.
Enjoy your Friday & weekend!!
TOODLES! :o)
Sounds like u got enough to keep you company
ReplyDeleteI really like your background on all your bits of page. :) I hope you've gone to get summat to eat or gone to sleep now.........oh dear, I'm in 'Mum' mode! Sorry. ;) I hope your doggy manages to eat from his own bowl all by himself today. :)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you have plenty to keep you busy while your hubby is away. Wow.. OH to CT is quite the trip! I hope you can get Coleman to eat from his bowl without sitting next to him the entire time. That's strange that he stopped eating from it in the first place. Enjoy your night on your own! :o)
ReplyDeleteDon't over do on the list of things to do. Try and take it easy while you can.
ReplyDeleteI would say to get those meds TOO...this nasty stuff keeps on coming back here at home.."I" have it for the second time in two weeks! Not fun!
ReplyDeleteSounds like u will have a pretty peaceful night then....
LOL at the dog eating...hugss
Love your look an sounds like you have a or should say had a busy night
ReplyDeleteDid u get anything done?? hehehe
ReplyDeleteLove the dancing cats , they are so cute... try to take it easy.. Coleman is getting back to himself and he'll get over his fright or the bowl, animals bounce back, their like kids..
ReplyDeleteI'd take it easy on the jacuzzi, the heat might cause your back to flare up even worse, have you tried icing it??? well hon get some rest, after I get my laundry done i'm going to do the same it's been a busy week and with only getting four or five hours of sleep a day I am one tired puppy.....
Harhmf... Coleman is back to being scared of the bowl again!!! I did get him to eat a little off a paper plate, earlier this morning. Neither of them ate yesterday! Usually when Hubby is away they won't eat 'til late... but yesterday.... GEESH, nothing... not even anything from my plate (scraps)... because THERE WASN'T ANY! :o)
ReplyDeleteAlso, they both were (& still are) sacked out 90% of the time since Hubby left. This is odd for the both of them to be this lack luster... I think they're just enjoying the "vacation"!! Because with Hubby around 24 / 7 he's kept them awake most of the day.
Wonder if they'll be like this when I am gone for 4 days.
Hubby's comment when I talked to him on the phone about it... "They know who their Master is." ... "Ha" I said!!
Well, that's the update on Coleman... he's digressing. *sighs*
Toodles! :)
thanks for the update...but did you get anything DONE??? hehehe
ReplyDeletewatched tv, read a few blogs, & I can't remember what else. LOL
ReplyDeleteThat's AWESOME... i figured FOR SURE that you would lay down for that nap and that would be IT...lol. hugss
ReplyDeleteYeah, well, but who's the mama?
ReplyDeleteHa Ha Katha! :)
ReplyDeleteThey both finally ate about 7:30p.m. last night... but Coleman digressed to eating off a paper plate, again... & not in the kitchen... again! Yep... they just like kiddies!! I still love them! :)
