Nikki and Puddy

Here's two I haven't spilled the dirt on. Nikki and Puddy. Nikki is a black lab and Puddy is an Australian Shepherd. They are very good, very BIG dogs. lol. They take up alot of room. Puddy is a bit of a whiner. He cries sometimes and you have no idea why. But he's a sweetie. Here they are.






This picture is several years old. That's my old laptop. You can leave things like that out and they won't bother them. Their new playmate, Lucky, though, is an entirely different story. He's a very, very young black lab and he is a handful.

Curly

Okay, you've read about mr. Curly. He is a bull terrier that I am watching for 3 weeks; just having completed one. Everything's gone extremely well until today. I think I've lost the mail key.

Anyway, let's not talk about my shortcomings. Here's Mr. Curly!!









^ There's the mostly decapitated toy that he ripped during
the emotional One Tree Hill scene

Anyway, there he is!! Isn't he cute???

Just a Pretty Little Christmas Tree

I thought my sister & mine's Christmas tree was very pretty this year. Here's our tree plus the buffet that's all decorated, too. I don't use the buffet per se; it is stuffed with linens, dishes, and whatnot. It's mainly used for display, lol.





Christmas 2009

Well, this is certainly a Christmas Eve to remember. Dogsitting and separated from my family. But stll having a good time!

Thought I would put up a picture of the dogs I'm watching. Barkley, Libby and the newbie, crazy little Maizie. Maizie is obssessive about looking up at the skylights. She sees her reflection up in the glass and thinks it's another dog.




Barkley ^^^^^




Libby ^^^^^

My Dog Watch-ees - Pt. 1

Dogsitting began for me as just helping a friend out. This was years ago, lol. Now I have several regular customers and a new one scheduled for next year already.

Molly and Lucy are border collies. Jingles is a Yorkie. Molly & Lucy are two of the best dogs ever. They know phrases/words like if you tell them you're going to "work" or "to the store". Jingles? Jingles is a different story. He's pretty bad. He likes to make his mark in the house, if you know what I mean. And he is the horniest little dog. He is always looking to hump something, lol.

I have been watching Molly and Lucy for quite a few years now, not sure exactly how many. Maybe 5 or so? Anyway, border collies are great watch dogs and they sure seem to love to chase the squirrels. And Molly is great at catching a frisbee.

Here is a picture of Molly and Jingles at the door, most likely looking at someone jogging or walking along the sidewalk in front of the house.

Chloe & the Major
Well, I had to show off Chloe & the Major. Chloe is the dog & Major is the cat. They are new "customers" of mine that I just started watching last summer. Chloe is a beautifully behaved lil' dog and the Major? Well, he's finally warming up to me. He's 15 years old and so he's kind of set in his ways. But I love him. Here they are. One of them is Chloe modeling her cheetah-skin coat, lol.




^^^That's the Major! Now, here is little Chloe in her coat. I think she's embarrassed, lol!





I get to watch them in later June. I'll have to introduce you to some of my other clients. Next up will be Libby and her brother, Barkley, who I am watching this weekend.

My Christmas Toys

Well, one has to have some kid in oneself, right? Here's my kid at Christmastime, well 1/8 of the kid, anyway, lol. My Christmas toys. Little odds & ends that I've picked up along the way of antiquing and heaven knows where else. My cubemates must've thought I was looney today when I was sitting in my chair on my lunchbreak, snapping pictures & closeups of things on my desk. My favorite is my Santa in the car. I can still remember where I saw him; at an antique mall in Osage Beach, MO. He really goes, too. He can race across a desk in nothing flat. And I included a shot of part of my lunch today - yogurt!!! Key Lime, mmmmm! It's really good and I'm not kidding. Anyway, let the slide show begin!!!
