~Achey Day~

We are getting our snow. I can tell, my stumps are really

achey today. They've not ached this bad in awhile. Must

be something, I'm achey and just feel like I'm in a

frump kinda, not bad. Its really a good thing I'm in this

chair I go up and down so much, be hell if I had to walk

it, I ride it out now :-) The boys are crabby as all get out

as well.. They have steady fought the past few days...I

found a huge clump of fur on the rug this morning that

came from one of them. Penny tried to pet LB yesterday

like she always does, and he slapped her. Not like him..

I just have no idea why theyre acting up but then I don't

know why I act up half the time either :-)
The boy phoned last nite and he was kinda upset.. I guess

Jerky, his chocolate lab, found a rat trap or something

that was left outside by a bug company. The dog ate it

and collapsed. Donnie made an emergency call to the vet

and he told him to make the dog sick so he would expel

that crap from his stomach. Donnie said he grabbed that

dog, poured that peroxide down his throat and made him

puke at least 4 times.. then he picked him up and drove

him to the vets.. Jerky almost died.

Dawn kept the dog yesterday as Donnie is making a daily

trip to Ohio for his job. which is a 5 hour drive each way.
He had Jerky home last nite and said hes doing ok. But

boy, is Donnie mad.. How could this company I don't

remember the name but its a well known company, I will

ask before I say the wrong company. But this is awful.

They left this trap outside, and when Donnie let Jerky

out, well he paid no attention to him chewing on stuff

cuz he loves to chew on sticks.. but when the dog came

up to Donnie and he saw it in his mouth and made him

spit it out, he realized it was NOT good.. Rat poison is

NOT good.. for any animal.. and to leave this out for

squirrels or rabbits or cats all these could get into that

thing just like the dog.. To me that's careless..

I asked Donnie to let ME call the company for him.. He

said he would do it.. I sure hope he tells them off AND

makes them pay for the vet bills hes got now.. how care

less, that's not right. I wonder how many other places

they've been left out for animals to get into.. I just

have a serious thing about mistreating animals.. Theyre

people too.. :-) But I sure would have loved to tell that

company off for him... Bad business and when I ask him

what company I will put the name here for the whole

world to read at how careless this company was.. Poor

Jerky.. He wanted to play ball last nite with Donnie so

bad, but the vet told him to keep the dog quiet for a

few days.. Well how do you tell your kids "no"? I wish

I could babysit Jerky but hes just too much for me

to handle, he doesn't mind me.. well hes not my dog..

No one can order someone else's dog around.. :-)

I finished my grands pjs. They are so cute.. TAZ.. This

pair is just a sample for her to try on him and then I

can go from there. If they fit, make more, if not, then

I just re adjust, which isnt hard.. I talked to my sis

yesterday, shes better, and told her I couldn't figure

out how to do that V neck. That thing gave me fits.. I

figured out a way, totally NOT the way it says but it

works for me .. That's the joys of sewing,, you can

sew stuff the way that works for you.. I just could NOT

figure it out .. I just figured out a new plan of attack!
and it works.. I know Kelli will like them.. Now I'm making

the slipper sock pattern smaller for him.. so he matches,

cant have our boy not matching :-)

Well I'm gonna go and fix myself some lunch, what.. I

have NO idea.. but I am hungry.. I have some shrimp

and that sounds really good so I might have that.. The

snow is steady coming down, I had hoped it would wait

till later just in case my sis wanted to come back up

and bring me some more goodies :-) So, time to post

then eat but not before my HUNGRY GORGEOUS
WEEBLE "g'day,g'day".. :-)

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya and THANKS!
Always, Lois ****


"God Bless You", is my prayer today,

I'm honored to call you "friend".

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again...
