Many things happening dear readers, and so little to blog about it.

Penny and Skyler have been sick recently. So sick, in fact, that we had some vet bills with it. BUT things are looking better now and no one else seems to be getting sick. All humans are healthy with the exception of Bridget's eye which is bothering her again.

Cindy just reminded me that when her friend, Nicole spent the night Friday night, Charity our coon hound decided she was going to play with Nicole. The only problem was, Nicole didn't know this. Charity was barking and barking and Nicole didn't know why! So Charity, getting frustrated jumped on the bed to "show" Nicole "Hey! THIS is what we are supposed to be doing!"

Well it was funny anyway.

Carla - you remember Carla? She just rec'd 10 red roses for her 10 month anniversary with her soon-to-be hubby. That made us remember when Bryan last sent me roses - it was for my last birthday when we both worked at HMI. The roses were so powerful smelling they made us keep our office door open - which of course we never ever ever did. And...the bouquet was so large that we had to keep moving it around because we couldn't see each other when we talked. I have never seen a larger bouquet of flowers! They were beautiful and lasted for about 1 1/2 months.

Well I have to run....again.

Yes - it is 6 a.m. What am I doing up this early on my day off? (Let alone on the computer posting a blog?) The answer is...I don't know. I am getting to be like my Grandma Edith (I miss you, Gramma!) she could never sleep in past 6. Ugh!

Anyway, it's still dark out and I was a nice mom and took Skyler and Charity out for their early a.m. potty (You're welcome, Cindy!). We came back in and Skyler had to go back out immediately again. You can imagine why. So I bundled up this time - I was unprepared for the cold the first time and took him out....again.

He sniffed.

And sniffed...

...and sniffed....

Then I realized this was probably one of those moments in which I am supposed to enjoy. So I looked up at the sky. It was amazingly clear and all the stars were shining. It's been a long time since I saw that. I am sure they have been there...I have just not taken the time to look up!

Skyler was STILL sniffing (He's a beagle boy so it takes him a while). I then noticed the dew on the grass mirrored the sparkles I saw in the sky.

I need to remember to take time to look around me more often. I get so wrapped up in stupid stuff that I don't notice the things God puts right in front of our noses to enjoy.

For instance, yesterday I walked into my bedroom to get some socks and finish getting ready to go to work. Most mornings are the same routine. I took a second to look at Skyler who was curled up on my pillows with his head resting on my teddy bear, Grimsey. It was so cute! He looked so comfortable I wanted to curl up with him!

Here is a pic of the little nipper from last Christmas.

I haven't downloaded 06 images yet. That's on my "to-do" list of "not dones".

Well, I am gonna dash. Bryan will be up soon and Libby and Penny will need to go out. Is that all I do? Help my pets go potty?
