Throwing Away the Crutches

Hello all.  This is a vulnerable one. In case you're wondering about the title, it's not referencing my newly pulled back that occurred while dumping out a bag of mulch Sunday night.  Not lifting it... dumping it.  It's been a week full of back braces and squishy ice packs .  Yay. Saturday I forced a weigh in, at least for myself.  We basically haven't weighed in since January.  From that point on it was dealing with holiday weight gain and all of our projects (bathroom reno, finishing that reno, carpet installation on the stairs, work instability (still going on) then the never-ending saga with the water coming in on the subfloor/roof hole, etc) so our lives were just fitting in walks where we could when it was cooler.  We actually did that quite a bit until the weather got unbearable.  When I had to go in for my vulvoscopy June 3rd, I accidentally caught a glimpse at my weight and it leveled me.  I was 10 lbs higher than when we came bac...

Do you buy gifts for your pet at the holidays?

We always did.  We put our girl's toys in her stocking that hung on the mantle.  Every year she got a new hoggie and would be so excited.  She also loved these treats and she would stick her head in the box and grab one of these which was hilarious.  We would buy my mom's dog treats for Christmas too.  She liked to "bury" her bones in a corner by nudging fake dirt over it.  It only took her twice to realize our dog could still see it and wait for her attention to be averted to go in for the sneak snatch. 

Man, I miss those two.

  1. Dogs are the best. I do miss them both too but sure glad we had them around especially at the holidays.

  2. Yes. We will even wrap them. Usually it is some type of special treat, like homemade jerky, and a new toy.

  3. There have been many a year when the dog/dogs had more gifts to open than we did -- true story! LOL We wrap everything either in tissue or wrapping paper (no tape) and each dog always had their own way of "unwrapping", which was a hoot to watch. They all would tear at the paper and turn their head to spit it out and did that over and over until the toy and or treat was revealed. And then they'd go on to the next one! ROFL Our first dog would go find his gifts at Grandma's house and ours towards the back of the tree. So funny.
