Hello, hump day!

Today would have been Sadie's 22nd

hatchday.  I miss her a lot.  She was

 my longest relationship besides my

family, but I consider my "pets" to

be family, anyway.

 

I got a card from a friend yesterday

(couldn't resist, Kelly, if you're reading

this!) that was supposed to be a 

blank card when she bought it but

the cards turned out to be sympathy

cards instead.  Since she is just as nutty

as I am-which is why we get along so

well-she decided to send me the card

 anyway because she knew I'd get

a laugh.  So I decided she needed a

set of cards that really were blank inside.

 

These are the first two of a set of

6.  So I guess if she's reading this, the

cards will not be a surprise.  I'm not

sure if she does or not.  The panels are

technically bookmarks but I decided

to think out of the box and make them

panels on the card instead and I think

they came out fantastically!  I'm very 

happy with them.

 

Supposedly we are to get some rain

today but I won't believe it until I

see it.  They lie too much!!

 

I managed to get the whole house

cleaned yesterday.  Well, OK, I 

haven't dusted yet, but I'm the only

one who knows that (you didn't

hear it from me!)  It's surprising

how much of a mess just B'Elanna and

I can stir up.  A lot was grass clippings

that get tracked in every time I mow.

The birds get vacuumed after every

single day.  My poor vacuum is very

abused.  So I can't really blame them

for the mess.  B'Elanna has taken

to putting her food on the carpet

which is dark.  I end up stepping on

it which is a tad uncomfortable.  I

used to get large bags of food but

when Neelix died, there was no need

for a large bag.  I couldn't get that type 

in a small bag so I settled on kibbles

and bits.  It turns out she loves them

but she likes to take some and run away

from her bowl to eat them privately, 

I guess.  Perhaps she forgets where

she left them?  Dogs are so weird!

But I don't know what I would do

without her.  It was hard losing

Neelix, but I'm glad I still have one

furry friend to hang on to.  Birds

aren't the cuddliest of creatures!

 

Happy Wednesday!
