The Cheesecake is Rich

I think spring is here… the birds are chirping, the weather is going to be 70+ degrees this weekend, and the mice are back. That is, the dead mice. In my house. (AHHHHHH!!!!) I emailed Gene about it last night: “Please advise where you would like FedEx sent containing Betty and 1 dead mouse” He [...]

the dogs, especially Betty, hate it when I sing. I was watching YouTube videos last night and singing along to U2′s song “Stay” when I noticed that Betty wouldn’t stop groaning (“MOM, STOP IT!”…freaking dog). Okay okay, I can’t hit the notes Bono can but seriously who does Betty think she is?

Puppy Bowl MVP Holy cow… between this and the beagle being named Best in Show at Westminster last year, I expect that Betty and Scooby are going to pop up with some J-Lo style demands. Scooby will demand I debone his beef ribs and Betty will make me kill mice for her.

So, the dogs are stuck in their kennels all day while Gene is gone. The pet sitter comes in for a little while during the day but they’re used to a whole lot more freedom. I thought of taking them to the pet boarding place for the day tomorrow, but Gene had a better idea: [...]

(Ah, song lyrics as blog post titles) Anyhow… so I am getting the house ready for Gene’s return tomorrow. I was in the bedroom, minding my own business when, for some reason I needed to walk down the hallway. And there stood Betty, our corgle, looking exceptionally proud. And next to her was something that [...]

Benadryl tables – in beef flavor! I just had to give “pink treats” to both of the dogs and it was a struggle. Surprisingly, not for Scooby, who took his with maybe only one spit out, but Betty’s was a PITA. I even had to call her a bad dog, which I rarely do. Maybe [...]

Respect the Beagle! Congratulations to Uno the 15-inch “traditional” (my term) Beagle, Best in Show at Westminster. (I know, I know, they’re like Nazis but still … look at the cute, cute doggies!) That said – please, please, please, if you’re thinking of adopting a dog, please go no further than petfinder.com. I would not [...]

…and I like to torture myself by going to Petfinder.com. The whole deal is that Gene and I have a deal – three dogs and no human baby or two dogs and 1 baby. Obviously, we have the 2 dogs part taken care of. Sometimes, I really want a third dog. I have named her [...]

I wonder if I can make a post that references all of my categories… 1) Baby dreaming – Still not pregnant (or trying, of course) 2) Certifiable, undeniable – In therapy, getting quite a bit out of it. Sometimes I take my Wellbutrin, sometimes I don’t. I attribute being able to go to bed at [...]

So the vet said to give Scooby Benadryl twice a day, and I’ve been trying to actually make sure it gets done. I covered one in some peanut butter and shoved it in him a few hours ago. It’s bedtime now, so I got up to start the going to bed process (you know the one [...]
