"Locked out & Freezing"!

I was able to turn off the alarm & sleep in this morning as I didn't have to work..........nice feeling.........however my body is tuned into getting up early so I was up by 5:30 am! Liza is used to us going for a walk around 6:15 am so I threw my sweat pants over my "jammies" & off we went. (I could here my mother's voice in my head saying "always wear clean underwear when you go out in case you have an accident") - my gawd I wasn't even wearing any!!!! It was about 23 deg. with a wind chill! The lock set on the garage door is loose & NEEDS TO BE REPLACED so sometimes it locks itself. Guess what.......when I got home I was LOCKED out! It was 7:00 am so the Popster was driving & doesn't answer his phone so I had to call Scott to go find him & get the garage door opener for me. Here I was sitting on a flower pot in the shed, hugging Liza to keep her warm for 45 mins!!!!!! My butt still hasn't thawed out!!!

PS I guess I'm going to buy one of these!

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot. When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow. Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out. I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly. Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes. It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet. Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners. We then made her wear them around the house for a while ...

Liza's treat ball

This is one of the most important things in our house - it is Liza's treat ball! I bought this about 9 or 10 years ago & it had a "trap door" where the gaping hole is & when you put treats in it you could control how easily they would fall out as the ball rolled around. Liza learned that if she rolled it down the stairs the treats would usually fall out which is why it looks this way. I have tried super glue etc. but it never stays together! It is sadly beaten & broken but try as I may I have never been able to find another one like it. I have spent hours looking & have bought many similar but nothing will ever take it's place. She knows where it is almost all the time - usually keeps it in her bed - but when it's missing she just paces the house until someone helps her find it. She used to be able to hold it in her mouth like this by just hooking it onto her eye tooth Now she just puts her bottom jaw into the opening like this There is a rit...
