WOW IT’S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I UPDATED ON LIFE IN THE DANGER ZONE SO I’LL TRY TO GIVE YOU THE CONDENSED VERSION. SINCE THE BIG POWER OUTAGE THINGS HAVE BEEN REALLY BUSY. NOW THAT SUMMER IS GONE I’M SURE I’LL GET BACK TO THIS ON A MORE REGULAR BASIS. BEEN WORKING A LOT ON THE HOUSE AND YARD. HAD A NEW NEIGHBOR MOVE IN BEHIND ME, A NICE LADY WITH 4 DOGS. SHE WAS REMOVING A LOT OF OVER GROWN BUSHES AND STUFF THAT HAD BEEN PUSHING MY FENCE DOWN WHICH WAS GOOD. HAD THE HOUSE NOT SOLD I WAS GOING TO DO IT MYSELF SINCE IT WAS NOT OCCUPIED AND NO ONE WAS TAKING CARE OF THE YARD. ANYWAY WHEN SHE STARTED PULLING THE BUSHES IT ALSO PULLED DOWN MY FENCE. TO BE HONEST IT HAD BEEN THERE A VERY LONG TIME AND THE WOOD POSTS WERE ROTTING BUT I HAD NOT INTENDED TO PUT UP NEW FENCE THIS YEAR BUT THEN THINGS DO NOT ALWAYS GO AS PLANNED DO THEY? SO LAST WEEKEND WE PUT UP NEW FENCING WITH METAL POSTS THIS TIME AND ALL IS SECURE IN THE BACKYARD FOR THE PUPS. SPEAKING OF PUPS, BOY HAVE THEY GROWN DAKOTA NOW WEIGHS OVER 100 LBS. AT NEARLY 9 MONTHS AND MISS PHOENIX WEIGHED IN AT 54 LBS.AT NEARLY 8 MONTHS OLD,THIS PAST FRIDAY WHEN I TOOK HER TO BE SPAYED. SHE WAS VERY GLAD TO GET HOME TO MOM AND HER BOYS YESTERDAY. SHE WANTS TO PLAY WITH DAKOTA SO BAD BUT THE VET SAID NO RUNNING OR ROUGHING IT FOR ATLEAST A WEEK. WILL BE FUN KEEPING THOSE TWO APART THIS WEEK. EMMET IS HANGING IN THERE HE GOT A HAIR CUT FRIDAY SO HE LOOKS LIKE SNOOPY AGAIN, STILL TOLERATING THE PUPS EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE BOTH 3-4 TIMES HIS SIZE, HE STILL DOESN’T TAKE ANYTHING FROM THEM. THE EVIL KITTIES TURNED TWO LAST MONTH AND IF I CAN EVER GET THEM TOGETHER AT THE SAME TIME I’LL GET A PICTURE OF THEM TO POST. DANGER SON TURNED 17 THIS WEEK, WHERE DID ALL THAT TIME GO?? HE IS SUCH A GREAT SON. YESTERDAY I WENT TO TAKE PHOENIX OUT FRONT TO GO POTTY AND MY KNEE LOCKED AND I WENT FLYING,LOST HOLD OF HER LEASH AS I FELL ON THE SIDEWALK FACE FIRST OF COURSE, LUCKILY SHE CAME RIGHT TO ME INSTEAD OF RUNNING INTO THE BUSY STREET. I GOT A BAD CASE OF ROADRASH ON MY NOSE AND SCRATCHED MY TWO WEEK OLD GLASSES. OH ABOUT THE GLASSES, ABOUT 6 WEEKS AGO THE PUPS DECIDED TO EAT MY GLASSES, I THEN WENT TO THE BACKUP PAIR WHICH DUE TO MY OWN STUPIDITY LASTED A WEEK (THEY FOUND MY HIDING PLACE AND ATE THEM TOO, I CAN’T HONESTLY SAY WHICH ONE DID IT AS THEY WERE BOTH LOOKING GUILTY WHEN I FOUND THEM ON THE FLOOR) SO 3 WEEKS AGO I HAD TO GO GET A NEW PAIR WHICH TOOK A WEEK TO GET SO I’VE ONLY HAD THESE TWO WEEKS AND DECIDED TO FALL ON MY FACE WITH THEM ON. I NOW HAVE A DEEP SCRATCH IN A NOT SO GOOD PLACE SO I WILL BE GOING TO THE EYE DR TO ORDER NEW LENSES THIS WEEK.ATLEAST THE FRAMES WERE SAVED. CAN I JUST SAY IT SUCKS TO BE ME THIS WEEKEND. WELL THAT’S ABOUT IT, NOT TO EXCITING. HERE ARE SOME PICS I TOOK TODAY OF THE BABIES AND EMMET. HOPE YOUR WEEKEND HAS BEEN BETTER THAN MINE! HAVE A GREAT WEEK ALL!
