It's cold enough (-20 this morning on the way to surgery) that the water tanks freeze and stay frozen. Ted bought another tank heater and threw it in the other water tank. He had to bust up the ice - even with the heaters - with a big 2x4. I just keep reminding us all … Continue reading Winter water

Begging in stealth mode
The other dogs are obvious in their begging. Smidge employs the cute factor. Puppers is decidedly attentive yet respectful. Cooper just flat out goes with the "pity me" strategy.... ...but DG goes into stealth mode. Evidently if she can't see me (although she's not fooling me because she's peeking at me through scrunched up eyes), … Continue reading Begging in stealth mode

Look at that grin
Smidge was grinning... ...until I started taking pictures. That's when DG came over to ham it up for the camera. She needed just the right position. Cooper was NOT amused. "Almost there..." "CHEESE!"

Tax time
Our tax appointment is tomorrow. We itemize so I keep a lot of receipts all year long and put them into a spreadsheet for ease of keeping track of expenses and sales. After trying lots of systems, I realized I'm a simple girl at heart. I honestly hate dealing with money and would barter any … Continue reading Tax time

It’s a hit!
The Captain Underpants series is a big hit with Jake. He stayed up late last night to read the first book, and now he's on the couch reading it again (to me). He thinks this book is "hilarious!!!"
