This and That

I'm sitting in the office at my computer trying to come up with something interesting to post about.


Obviously, my office companions are bored. This is Noah and Sky napping right next to me.


Noah wandered off and Fudge took his place. Next to my chair or under the desk on my feet seem to be the most highly prized spots in the room.


Look what came in the mail Saturday. This little stocking is from Maggie and Mitch. Their Mom knit it. I won it in a contest where I didn't even have to do anything, that's my favorite kind of contest. Thank you M and M and Sue. We have a tree with doggie ornaments on it and this will go on that tree.


This is something I thought I would never see. We planted this holly tree the first year we lived here. It was growing pretty well till it got broken by the ice storm two years ago. The tree survived, by it was only a couple feet high and had to start growing all over again. It never had berries. Every year I looked, but no berries. There were no male hollies in the neighborhood and although I intended to plant a male, I kept forgetting about it. Then last spring my neighbor put in a holly. I asked him if it was male or female and he didn't know. Well, now we know. His plant is a male and my plant is covered with berries. It looks so pretty.


Miss Bessie arrived at her new home in Frederick, Maryland last evening. It was a long trip for the old girl, but she handled it well and made a lot of new friends. She is now a resident of House Of Puddles. Check them out. They're having a wonderful raffle with all sorts of neat doggy prizes.


Samba is doing pretty well. She takes her medicine happily and she is opening her mouth a little more than she was able to do last week. She even managed to pick up her ball this morning. She's a tough little dog and we aren't going to let this disease beat us.


Fudge is sitting at the door giving me that look that says "when are you going to get away from that silly computer and come play with us?" So, I'm going to go play with my dogs.
