Recently  angelsmama posted a pic of her cute pupper slobbering her with kisses (such a cute pupper).  I noticed that there wasn't a lick of snow anywhere!   She told me it was SIXTY TWO DEGREES that day!!!     
That got me wondering how different the weather is in BPO backyards. 


So...run outside and snap a shot or two.

Here are mine.....

We adopted Daisy from the shelter when she was 5.5 months old.  I can't believe that she is already ONE!  It's difficult to remember when she wasn't a part of our family.   

Unfortunately Daisy had to go to visit Dr. Anna (our vet) today. 

Good news......Dais y weighs 111.9 lbs.   

Bad news.....Bad news comes in threes right?

1 - Daisy's  left ear has a bad infection. I thought it was yeast but it's worse. When Dr. Anna flushed it Daisy whimpered and began to shiver.  It obviously hurt quite a bit.  Poor girl.   So....Ointment morning and night & a solution to flush it out at noon.  Recheck in 2 weeks. 

2 - the bump on Daisy's leg is either a bug bite or a bacterial thingy of some sort (I don't remember what Dr. Anna called it ) but the ointment for her ear can be used on it for the next 2 weeks and it will be rechecked. 

3 -  The famous anal sacs.  Dr. Anna says, "Everything on Daisy is BIG and her anal sacs are no exception!"   yea...I'm so proud.      Usually Daisy doesn't mind having this done but since her ear hurts so badly she isn't very cooperative and it takes 2 of us to hold her plus Dr. Anna doing her thing in the back end.  ugh!    Here's the worst part....Dr. Anna got 1/4 CUP out of Daisy!!   I don't know anal sacs but that seems like a lot to me!!! 

So...now my birthday girl is asleep at the end of the bed.   She smells a bit better.  Her butt is washed, her ear is lubed up and she had a special dinner.   
I wanted to take a special birthday pic to post but I just don't have to heart to bug her.   Poor stinky girl.

Jilly & Daisy will chase a laser pointer forever.
Jilly knows that "All Done" means the laser pointer is gone.
Daisy will look for it for hours.
Jack thinks it's stupid and won't chase it for anything.

Will your pupper chase a laser pointer?

My stupid husband got me addicted to this game.
He plays on paper with a pencil.
I like playing on the computer....be cause if I had to use a pencil I'd probably end up erasing through the paper.   

Anyone else playing this addictive game?

Good News!!  Everyone has been adopted.

Cartman (kitten) - Went to a friend's mother.  He's living the sweet life with a little old lady who dotes on him. 

Butters & Kyle (kittens) - returned to the shelter yesterday and were both adopted within an hour of the shelter opening for the day. 

Binks (mama), Tweak (kitten), & Stan-lee (kitten) were all adopted into the same home.  A loving family with 3 large dogs who all seem to love kitties.  Especially the huge Neo.

Yea...yea..... the last family is mine.  I wanted to keep them all!  I managed to give away 3....that's half!  I love the newest members of our family.   I'll post some pics soon.
And yes.....Daisy got to keep BOTH of her favorite kittens.   

Just got a call from the foster care person at the shelter.
She's scheduled the kittens to be returned on friday.
One kitten still needs to be fixed.  They are making the appointment for friday and then they will pick the kitten up.  So I won't see her again. 
This is harder than I thought it would be.

Daisy seems to have dumped Tweak in favor of Stan. 

Power was out from 9:30am until 2pm. 
Luckily I had just finished cooking pancakes when we lost power.
Unfortunately we had to reschedule having relatives over for dinner.
You can imagine how thrilled the kids were when they couldn't try their new electronic gizmos & gadgets. 
We did spend time together talking and laughing....an d that was great but we were really glad to have the electric come back on!

Hope everyone had a great Christmas!!!
