Ferry to Cape May & on home.......

I don't think we needed reservations for the ferry
There were only around 30 cars on it


Molly checking out what's going on




 After we got underway I took Molly out of the car & we explored.  She made friends with everyone we met & checked out every square inch.




Coming into Cape May


Popster stuck his head but at this point he was going downhill rapidly......he was losing his "superman cape"!

 He drove as far as the thruway & finally gave in & let me drive home from there.  We got home around 6:30 & by 7:00pm were sitting in the urgent care clinic.  By now he looked, as well as felt, terrible.  His eyes were red & oozing crap & his throat was so sore he was positive he had strep.  He was finally seen by Doogie Howser's younger sister who "diagnosed" him with a sore throat caused by post nasal drip & conjunctivitis.  No strep!  He was sent home with a nasal inhaler, eye drops & something for his cough.  He proceeded to sleep the next 2days round the clock & I finally convinced him to see his own doctor on Tuesday, who put him on an antibiotic.  By Friday morning I was ready to call all the kids in for an intervention as he was not getting better & refusing to do anything I suggested.....the absolute worst patient ever..........I now know why my life skills never led me to nursing!!  Finally by Saturday he said he felt a little better & actually stayed awake most of the day.  He went back to work on Monday but it was the middle of the week before he really felt good again.
Love

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...
