I saw the look in Pooh's eyes, the kind of look he gets when he wants to do some serious cat butt kicking. He and Rusty were eyeball to eyeball with the mad cat screams going. Before I could stop it, they merged into one gigantic ball of orange cat fur flying rage. When the fur settled, literally on my bedroom floor, there was enough extra fur for another cat. I called the match even, though Pooh outweighs Rusty by about 5 pounds. I'm thinking I might want to apply for a grant on "Why Cats That Have Been Neutered..Want to Fight". I'm sure I could get millions, maybe trillions of dollars in research monies for this. I mean this is serious stuff. If people can get millions for researching the sex life of beavers in Southern California, I should be able to get money to find out why cats like to fight. Even when there is nothing to fight about. What do ya'll think?? </p>Sandrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06747074938522828391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725190348350419658.post-44244953851310079962009-05-24T18:56:00.002-04:002009-05-24T19:17:25.395-04:00High School and a PuppyMy oldest grand-daughter graduated Saturday.

But, it has been pure joy watching him grow and develop. Of course he is spoiled rotten, but that's life with me. His eyes are now open, though you wouldn't know it from these pictures! He has these little, bitty teeth, and gives the greatest puppy kisses! His name is Hunter because he can always find the working end of a bottle!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNaRbcaMRsbNHACIovoJnczDI49PnVO41kkdX8eWeZxYFTLJxXtxXU2ccXh-Frq3DwsQkPnogme1wrxMOneIkgKeVKSs2fK4HW2U47l2awIqB4TYMB8xhZzsnZZ1RPQ_oxJGNC4y2b0cGE/s1600-h/puppy051709+005.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

The critter was suppose to be your inner soul. I think. The movie was a little confusing to me. But anyway, Oscar goes (follows) me EVERYWHERE. To the bathroom, check, to the kitchen, check, to the bedroom, check, to feed the chickies, check. When I'm on the computer, he has at least his head on it.<br />I like having his companionship, if anything was to happen to me I know that he could go barking to L and he would come and find me! I guess that makes Oscar a good daemon!

As you will see below, I have a pretty good reason. Well, really its not a very good reason but its my blog and I'm sticking to it!<br />We know you are not suppose to get a new pet before the holidays but we had no control over when the mama gave birth. AND, before I receive all sorts of negative comments from you PETA types, let me assure you that I firmly believe that you should pick a pet that is homeless. We have done that our whole lives. All of our 11 cats were either strays or came from the shelter. The reason this puppy is different is that he is a guard dog. He was bred for that reason alone. No, he is not a vicious guard dog. He bonds with everyone we introduce him to. He bonds with the cats and with our one existing dog. The reason we chose his breed is he can take on a coyote. If you have been reading my blog, you know the trouble we have had with them. They have even come in to the yard and bit my dog! That really made me mad..I dont think this dog could handle a pack of coyotes alone, but they usually sneak around looking for the one chickie that has strayed too far into the woods. Hopefully this dog will help.<br />And now let me introduce... Ranger. He is an Anatolian Shepherd and will grow to anywhere between 150-170 pounds. So I squeeze him whenever he lets me!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0bvfb5crIKzC1-JjsWEOcKP-cAlsxEXKPw3d-n-XA759jgYgIKjK2dtSVE_d_sNQBrDud_8wqNLMNPwVURZt11SuMaddmK4jVAQ9MiRf2HoEYbsRhRs9wmJQ9SB4Enf5nOo2SplZr2na5/s1600-h/ThanksgivingAndChristmas+022.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0bvfb5crIKzC1-JjsWEOcKP-cAlsxEXKPw3d-n-XA759jgYgIKjK2dtSVE_d_sNQBrDud_8wqNLMNPwVURZt11SuMaddmK4jVAQ9MiRf2HoEYbsRhRs9wmJQ9SB4Enf5nOo2SplZr2na5/s400/ThanksgivingAndChristmas+022.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283078971991192626" /></a><br /> He seems to always look grumpie!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAjsYSjNn8kQT5rpUc7qQ3Ru1IgsztuGZT-XwEOfjhUe6qb0pJJxMZy2FipLRuPmqWyeTvfQaAn3OwYy-fZY3KieWVv3NvpLevIwV89ZslAAydDuKBX4b1tBOKbHYM5ryyS_XM77oQsETm/s1600-h/ThanksgivingAndChristmas+025.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAjsYSjNn8kQT5rpUc7qQ3Ru1IgsztuGZT-XwEOfjhUe6qb0pJJxMZy2FipLRuPmqWyeTvfQaAn3OwYy-fZY3KieWVv3NvpLevIwV89ZslAAydDuKBX4b1tBOKbHYM5ryyS_XM77oQsETm/s400/ThanksgivingAndChristmas+025.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283078982459460546" /></a><br /> How can anyone resist a face like this!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt6hLcXdaADDs9SOJy2RbjpzXCl73grhGOd25D-s6JQvnOvqV7XTFREVlrCWJ_FC4x3jSlrBqwDZrtPIRtiLJCdbQdkfgQiCC_s6jiPYzylxWj0ENGO_sEqIPXTMC1Zeq9tg2sc5jqY4Py/s1600-h/ThanksgivingAndChristmas+027.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt6hLcXdaADDs9SOJy2RbjpzXCl73grhGOd25D-s6JQvnOvqV7XTFREVlrCWJ_FC4x3jSlrBqwDZrtPIRtiLJCdbQdkfgQiCC_s6jiPYzylxWj0ENGO_sEqIPXTMC1Zeq9tg2sc5jqY4Py/s400/ThanksgivingAndChristmas+027.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283078984505593762" /></a><br /> Going to bed.

I haven't been in our small sorta local mall in probably 5 years. I usually do all of my Christmas shopping online, but she convinced me to go with her today. We had a blast, especially at the Aeropostle? store. They got my vote for the best at customer help. I mean I am pitiful at shopping, so I walk in and find a store clerk and handcuff them to me until I am done. The young lady that helped me shop for my granddaughters was absolutely wonderful. So if you want a great shopping experience, go to Aeropostle.<br /><br />On the other side of the coin, the worse store we visited was Limited Too. First of all, the sale items were not marked down very much and second of all, who pays $60 for jeans for a size 6 twig 6 year old? NO SALE ON THESE JEANS!! No help from the salespeople, My MIL and I were on our own. I could not find anything that didn't require a loan, so I was just going to get the pack of Mentos and pink headband. Standing in line behind a woman who kept going on and on and on about the store in Chattanooga having this and doing that and on and on....I almost walked. This is why I shop online, to avoid people like this that really needs to have their butts kicked for making people stand in line with their feet killing them.<br />But my MIL came to the rescue by finding the $60 jean look alike on the sale table and it was on. I spent a fortune in that store and all I got was more stupid Limited Too Bucks, at least at Aerospotle I got 3, count'em 3 free Teddy Bears with the cutest red and white striped hat on. So, if you want my advise, go to Aerospotle if you are shopping impaired like me. You might even learn how to spell it!Sandrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06747074938522828391noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725190348350419658.post-57288438520087122802008-11-13T21:00:00.005-05:002008-11-13T21:17:41.742-05:00And The Winner Is....Not Me. <br /><br />I was asked by my good friend Sandra at work, You know she is a great person just by her name! Anyway, she asked me to carve a pumpkin for her work area. She wanted our company name on it and that was all. So, me being the Great Pumpkin carver that I am, said I would. Below is the result of my wonderful imagination! It was a beautiful pumpkin and was The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHKhdWwHoupGtGg59wALLBJ3fI907oTBj9CtjaE-FO5BdA-MAyE-BqrxLPeFsXzKGvXtKTCceM1h41gw7VL-SdrsYsv6uBTMDzuPKEHZKmGuWnOSNMEaMDALTFWrrLyuBckth1RXN_6xqu/s1600-h/PumpkinCatsNest+002.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 312px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHKhdWwHoupGtGg59wALLBJ3fI907oTBj9CtjaE-FO5BdA-MAyE-BqrxLPeFsXzKGvXtKTCceM1h41gw7VL-SdrsYsv6uBTMDzuPKEHZKmGuWnOSNMEaMDALTFWrrLyuBckth1RXN_6xqu/s400/PumpkinCatsNest+002.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268330823513412322" /></a><br /><br />According to Sandra, everyone thought it was beautiful and prompted a pumpkin carving contest. Several people entered. I had to enter a picture of my Great Pumpkin because it started caving in on itself, and a certain someone decided to recycle it by throwing it in the moat that surrounds the factory! <br /><br />Pictures do not do justice to the Great Pumpkin. I think that is why I came in Third! Third! I am not bitter, really. It was just a little contest, we all won candy and ribbons. No..I am not bitter at all.

I know my oldest blew hers up with a baby bottle, but I never thought it would happen to me. I think my microwave will survive but I don't trust it anymore. I put 2 pounds of frozen hamburger meat in my microwave to thaw to make a yummy meatloaf. Set it on 5 minutes and at 40% power. I have done this many times before with excellent results. Its just enough to thaw it all out and have just the tiniest bit left frozen in the center.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">I was doing laundry/cleaning/fixing a new home for peeps that are coming next week, when a couple we know came to buy eggs. I went outside to talk to them with the 'wave still having 2 minutes to go. I had no reason to distrust it since it had always preformed beautifully. I think I was outside about 10 minutes. When I came back in there was smoke boiling out around the microwave door. It was at FULL power and had over 4 minutes showing on the timer! How in the world did that happen??</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">Needless to say, the alarm system screamed out to everyone that there was a fire in the Cuckle Burr Patch! Alarms were going off, the phone was ringing, the cats were running, and the dog was squeeking and barking! Can you say CHAOUS!!! </span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">I had to confess to the alarm system lady that their was no fire, only a burning pile of bovine flesh mixed with melted white plastic bag. I wish that I had taken a picture to show all of you. I am certain that you would have thought it quite impressive. There were 2 little piles of something laying on the turntable and stinking to high heaven. I picked up the phone and ordered pizza. One way to get out of cooking. :-)</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span>Sandrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06747074938522828391noreply@blogger.com3
