Lucy Adventures

Early in the afternoon I went out to the garage to wash the windows in my car and vacuum the floors. I heard a funny bark and went to the back yard to investigate.  Lucy was on our side of the wooden fence trying to get a squirrel immediately on the other side.  I threw some sticks at the squirrel and it just sat there until I hit it and it meandered up the pole in the backyard that leads to the wires.  Lucy was going nuts and I tried to get her and bring her in the house.  I kept throwing sticks at the squirrel and it seemed in no hurry to leave.  Lucy nearly climbed the back wooden fence while the squirrel walked the wire, slipping and a couple of times turned upside down and sideways.  I finally got Lucy by the collar and brought her in.  When Otto go home, he let her out and she hopped on her dog house and over the fence while he was chasing her and trying to stop her.  He followed her into the neighbor's back yard going the same way she went.  Their gate was open and the two were off.  He caught up with her and carried her back to our yard while I got the garage open only to find the squirrel in the front yard.   When Lucy saw it she nearly got out of Otto's grasp and he grabbed her collar, making her nearly pass out.  In the 16 degrees, he could barely catch his breath.  Both got home, Lucy revived and Otto had an asthma episode that took him near 2 hours to breathe normally again.  He ran into the yard in slippers and no jacket after her.  Lucy is again on a chain in the back yard and I want to shoot that stupid squirrel.  Something is definitely wrong with it.  I thought it was going to come right in the garage.   It is what it is and what a day we had!  PS....we are going to be grandparents...Matt & Dana are expecting in September.

Delta Dog Days 3

 We have not been able to leave her alone for more than a few minutes.  UGH newborn.  She is a sweetheart and not bothered or barking at other dogs. After I worked at the Thrift shop I took her up to the pool deck and locked the gate.  She is so small  she got through the rungs of the deck.  ðŸ˜³  It is what it is.  She is so sweet but so is needy and so challenging.

Delta Dog Day 4

 Beyond belief, we both got to sleep upstairs in our bed all night!  She could not scale the new gate and settled in her crate in the kitchen around 2:00 AM.  Otto gave me the night but after she settled, he came upstairs and she did not bark or whine all night!!!   I came down after a shower, took her outside on her lead and then fed her.  Back upstairs to do my hair etc.  I heard "something" and came downstairs to find that she had opened the pantry (that has a magnet closure on it for dog/children safety) and had a bag of marshmallows on the floor, not opened thank goodness.   I blocked it with a chair but removed anything that she could get to if she opened it again (within her reach).  NOTE:  new plan for pantry.   Later in the day we were sitting outside with her and she picked some cherry tomatoes and ate them (yes I checked on Google that they are NOT poisonous for dogs).  After dinner with friends, she snatched a corncob an...

School's out, teacher let the fools out!

No more pencils, no more books, no more STUDENT'S dirty looks! What a group I had this year, eiy yie yie! I can honestly say if I never see some of that bunch again, it will be too soon. Fun party last night...too tired to sleep! Nice feeling to sleep in. ADK party this afternoon, piano lesson (may have to re-schedule), picking up new car in Ann Arbor and going to Amanda's 2 baseball games. Nice video chat with Andrew & Matt last night. They get so silly! Brian landed safely in L.A. at 2:09 our time. His plane from Philly was delayed over 3 hours. All day to go 5 hours sucks, but he is safe! Congratulations Matthew Sandoval on your middle school graduation. Have fun with your family. I cleaned out 2 filing cabinets of old 4th grade files and old materials we don't use any more. I think I filled 10 boxes to re-cycle. I didn't get my bulletin boards done for fall (who knows where I will be anyway!) or my books sorted (paperbacks). Administrative whispe...
