Now that you aware that yu really are special- I believe you will have a good day--Lord love a duck! Everyone should be told that everyday. Imagine just how good one would feel, if as you were entering a grocery store, and, someone would stop us, and tell us that we are special--everyone of us---But-- (that big "butt" again!)---it is not going to happen, is it?---Everyone of us is unique--just a reminder.
There is always "stuff" going on here ---Yesterday, Son#1, brought our new carpet in ---Apparently the man who owns the flooring and carpet store , must've seen him, and asked him to bring it--It is sitting in a roll in the sunroom. Himself and I ( mostly the "and I" ---person) will have to get the old rug up and out--If I push all the living room furniture against the wall, I think I can do it--The new rug should sit in the centre of the room, on the hardwood---
You might wonder, "why the new rug?"----- Well, the old one has lived here , in the living room, since '87--- Many German shepherd puppies have chewed holes in it-I remember, Tess was the worst--And now, Lopez does the same , if I'm not watching-and, Coal-and the dog who had seizures , in the picture above, -did the same--
But, now----- I guess it is--- altho people will not be tramping through our living room anymore (for now anyway)- It will be a treat to have a carpet which is not known as "the Holy Carpet"--
Yesterday I did cut the front lawn--good exercise-- My grass cutting Grandkid has a job and it's hard for him to work my little part time job in--for now---- Hopefully the grass will not grow as fast with FALL coming-
So, a new rug--- no holes --- Grandchildren--growing up-Below is the same little girl-- walking Willow, the rug chewer, with me and another Shepherd one winter-Dogs were a huge part of out life!
and --- below-- is this little girl --the "rug chewer-"---- yu can see that German Shepherds meant more to us than a new carpet----crazy us eh?
Love the pics of your dogs. Nothing crazy about loving them as they certainly return unconditional love. Just wish they could live longer as the passing of each one leaves a hole in our hearts. I’ve had at least 2 dogs my entire life of varying breeds. Currently a 60 lb black lab and a 15 lb chewinnie, what a pair! Hope your new rug goes in easily, and that Lopez doesn’t feel the need to baptize ir!
ReplyDeleteOMG--Hopefully Lopez will not do that--but--one never knows--Between Himself and I--We got the old rug out to the sunroom-windy and cool here today-Lynda
DeleteIt's Kathy. A very appropriate blog on National Dog Day! We were very lucky with Daisy - she never was interested in chewing on things. She has all her toys from years ago and the only thing she ever did was destroy one of my shoes when she was very little. Guess she was mad at me for leaving her at home. It's a cool day here today so next we're going for a walk! Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteDaisy is a very good little girl--It is a much cooler day here also--I do like it--Lynda
DeleteLoved the dog pictures, especially on National Dog day. They give us unconditional love.
ReplyDeleteMaybe...you'll wait on the new rug until you get your painting done. And, just maybe, Lopez will be a bit older and less interested in chewing the new rug. I'm thinking one of the boys will help you get the old rug out when you're ready.
Darn. Although I'm glad grandson got a job I'm not glad that your back on lawn duty. Sigh
Inner peace posting was lovely. I will work on practing those principles.
Its thundering with light rain and COOLER. Thank God. We need this break after a week of 100+F temps. Now I wonder what kind of underwear those clouds are wearing....think I know. Thanks for the smile.
YOU Lynda are very special. Everyday you make the world a more positive place and demonstrate incredible love, patience and strength. God bless you!
Have a peaceful day. Play your piano for the dogs lol
Hugs
Son#3 was out helping me move rugs--He took the old one somewhere--happy to see it out of here--LOL--Oh Margene-- Life just goes on and on--and we do what we can don't we--because we have to-- --It was cooler here to-day also--I loved it-Lynda
DeleteI know what you mean about priorities... I have pet-stained carpets and holey spots in them, too, from past and present pets. The love they give you is worth it.
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed seeing your doggies, memories of how quickly their lives zip by!
Much love to you and your whole family! May the grass grow SLOWLY now that your grandson is busier!
Yes, when you’re busy raising kiddos, priorities are different than they are when they’re all grown up w/families of their own!
DeleteAnd Happy Nat’l Dog Day to Big Beau and Lopez.
Hope putting the new run down can wait til one of your sons can help! Pretty heavy job.
HUGS

Son#3 came out--helped with the rug---- so nice to have a decent rug now without holes--Lynda
DeleteOh Barb--- I enjoyed posting the "old" dog pictures--Dogs do not live very long do they?--So, I am not the only one who has dog stained rugs?--Lynda
DeleteLynda, take care moving all that furniture. Maybe Himself can help a bit with lighter stuff...table lamps, etc. And the dogs probably need to be out of the room. Could the son who delivered it or your grandson help tomorrow?
ReplyDeleteLove your memes, as usual. The one about the dog was apropos today as it is International Dog Day.
Did some shopping lots of sorting out, Lucky doesn't want to play.
Now I'm going to see about the A/C filter if it needs cleaning. I found the instruction booklet.
Karaoke tonight with our favorite deejay! My 'adopted daughters' (well they said they were adopting me ;-) will be there my friend I always take, another friend who used to live here, one of my daughters had to move her mom in with them so the mom is coming...88 y/o. She likes Country music and oldies. She will fit right in. And, if we're lucky, our wonderful manager who just got a better job will be there with her husband. Whew!
Such busy days! But they make life more interesting. Fun! And they make the hours pass...sometimes too quickly.
Hope your day proceeds as you wish it will.
Is it cooler where you are? Here it's just in the 70s, but the gusting wind is kinda cool.
{{{HUGS}}}
Funny-- that I wrote the blog about dogs to-day--I did not know it was International Dog Day--- I need to know how to clean the filter in the AC unit-and yes, It was a cool day here to--I loved it--Did another section of grass this afternoon---no bugs-today=--Hugs-- and I hope yu enjoy Karaoke to-nite-Lynda
DeleteAll the pictures are real cute today. Lots of great looking dogs. And doesn't Lopez look mischievous like he knows something new is coming for him. You need to have some of your sons come and help change the rugs. I would think it's too much for you guys to do. Be careful. Have a good night. Hugs Brenda
ReplyDeleteFunny yu said that Brenda--because Son#3 came this afternoon--took the old rug away-=-moved computers around--They do things so easily-Lynda
DeleteGood luck with the new rug! It was 109 here today, 112 heat index, but by Monday might be 99, and stay in the 90’s for a week, we have a terrible drought and grass fires, too. Too much heat, not good for man or beast! Careful out there, with that yard.
ReplyDeleteOMG--109--- That is very hot--It was quite cool here today---Lynda
DeleteCongrats on your new rug! I am sure you will love it when it gets down. Yorkies love carpets, too! When you aren't looking, of course! lol We have had a lot of thunderwear in Ohio this week. Lots of rain, lightning and hail, too. Tornadoes not so far away. I am sure your daughter has told you. They were even rescuing people in boats off the highways. Crazy weather these days! My nephew left today to start school Monday. I won't see him until Thanksgiving. He didn't want to go back to school. He always gets a little nervous when the new year starts but settles in a week or two. I was sad when he left but started cleaning to take my mind off of it. Let's enjoy our favorite day tomorrow!:)
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to see them go but--they do return--even smarter----Yes I do love thaT NEW RUG___ The old one has been here since '87--Son#3 was out here and took it away-- also moved the IMac across this room--Boy oh boy, they do things fast All of a sudden things were disconnected--and then reconnected-- LOL--=Lynda
