A game of Pug~0~War

Willow and Belle were so HYPER tonight...all they did was chase one another around the house...have the Zoomies ( when they run like crazy with their bums close to the floor and their tails out straight) and then they found one sock on the floor and played Tug~0~war on my bed.....






Belle really is not this fat. I think it is the way she is positioned. Poor girl, she is trying to watch her girlish figure and I go and post this picture of her...how dare I?? I don't think she would be too happy if she knew I posted this picture of her....















Poor Belle too much play for one night.....ZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzzzzzzz

Should get Willow by for awhile.....

I bought a 18lb bag of Willow's prescription Dog Food today..$$$Cha ching$$$!.$65.00!....but it shoud get her by for a long time and it is the only food she can eat due to her Protein allergy.......I have to keep their food seprate due to her protein allergy...so I keep Willows in this antique Crock I have with an old wooden scoop. Neither one of them ever try to get into this food....When Miles comes for visits he likes to think it is an open invitation for him to eat....so we do have to cover it when Miles is here....

Changed my mind.....

UPDATE.....

I changed my mind on the curtains I posted about yesterday...I found these at K-mart and were on sale..BONUS! and I bought the black iron rods....Not sure if I like them yet so I didn't cancel my order on the ones I posted....just in case...I like change too so I can also take these down and put up the other one for another time.....
I added some grape vine along the lower rod so I could hang the sign my friend Dawn made. "DO THE DISHES TOMORROW"

New Coasters and a soggy chewie!

Belle Loves these pigskin chew Sticks.....She will chew away until it is limp and soggy...so gross especially when I step on it bare foot!
Got a Light?............





I went to the Candle store the other day....I came across these coasters....of course I had to buy them.





Painting........

I was getting bored of the green paint in the kitchen so I went to Home Depot to look at paint colors.


Before.........


I wanted to get a color the will go well with the rest of the house. So I went with this....
I don't care for the name..*Blood Lilly* but I really liked the color.

During.............



After!...............

I ordered a new curtain for the sink window....Click here to see what I chose..




I like the deep red so much better....It goes better with my Decor better than the green did... AM do you notice anything on my window sill? ( the Live Laugh Love dish! you sent me!)



I arranged above the cabinets differently. I hung up a few antique muffin pan and Bread pan and a few other things.....

It is Still Snowing!

So Pretty.......... But such a MESS! Look what happens every-time I let Willow go out to pee! The snow that has stacked up against the slider...falls onto my floor.......You notice I only mentioned Willow going out to go pee? Belle is such a wimp..she is afraid of the snow! so I have to leave potty pads down for her.
Watch the snow grow.....


Early in the morning...like 7-8am .....


Around 2:30 pm.................



Around 4:00 pm.................



Now about 2 feet of snow at 8:00 pm and it is STILL snowing like crazy!
Poor Brad he has been on the road all day for Work and Plowing. as of right now he is still working getting all the sanders and Plows for the interstates serviced and also Plowing for his friends and family with his Plow truck....so he has been in the storm for 13 hours now...I don't expect him home until 10pm. he has come home a few times to change his wet clothes and get dry gloves and hats... I made him his favorite soup for when he gets home tonight. French Onion!
The girls were happy to have a snow day today. They stayed in their PJ's and hung around the house....T and her friends planned on going to the Movies today but they were even closed...I heard McDonald's closed early.... Who knows anyway More snow updates tomorrow!
