Doggy Daycare

So, since I don’t have enough that I’m doing right now I offered to dog-sit my parents dog (you know the dog that used to be mine that my dad adopted (or dognapped) from me a few years ago).  They put their house on the market and since they are driving up here next weekend with my sister and Rider I figured it would be a lot easier for them to bring Chloe up here then and be able to show their house without her around plus packing and moving would be easier.

So, here’s the problem, the dog is C-R-A-Z-Y, I have a cat and I’m not sure how either will do with the other.  Plus, the dog is C-R-A-Z-Y.  So, to keep the dog safe, me sane, and my house from getting destroyed by this (C-R-A-Z-Y) dog I am looking for a crate.  (Plus, I just think crates are good for dogs.)  Here’s where I need your help…anyone have any input on crates?

The dog is 8 inches tall and about 12 inches long.  So, I need some input on the right size crate for her.  Also, I’m not sure which type is best.  Chloe is C-R-A-Z-Y but she won’t chew or destroy the crate (honestly, despite my dad’s protests I really think she’ll like it) but I’m not sure which is the best choice.  Ideally I’d like to use this for a future dog that I hope to add to my family (assuming it’s the right size and assuming I find someone who can install a fence for less that the price I paid for my house).

So, with all that randomness, opinions please.  :)

till-later

Lunch…

Last week Fred Meyer had these on sale for $1 each. So, I bought some for lunch. Looks OK, doesn’t it?

Yeah, so I cooked it and got this:

I’ll admit it tasted better than it looked. Although, I probably could have eaten two of them. Or, I could have made a salad to go with it…but that would have taken more work. LOL By the way, the reason you can’t see the yummy five cheese filling in MY picture like you can in the box top is because mine was only about 1/4 inch thick and covered by the mass of lasagna noodles. Oh well.

So, Jeeves really likes his job as Office Manager of Taylored Office Solutions. Unfortunately, the whole day doesn’t look like this.

I could handle that. I would gladly welcome him sitting in that spot all day watching me work and taking a nap (him taking a nap not me). Sometimes he actually spends his day like this. I’ll take that too. Heck, I don’t even mind when he gets on my chairback and lounges. But, NO. My lovely bundle of energy likes to run across my keyboard, then claw up my back to eat my hair, then fly off (because I yell at him because it HURTS) to mess up my perfectly organized piles of work. He’s crazy, I tell you. C-R-A-Z-Y!

But, I love him.

10 Random Things for a Friday

It’s Friday.  Yes, I know it’s been a LONG time since I’ve posted any randomness so…

  1. Jeeves is learning to stay on his throne (aka the chair next to my desk) and let me work (most of the time).
  2. I have a friend coming by this evening and I’m cooking dinner.  We haven’t hung out in a while so I’m excited.
  3. My flowers outside are gorgeous.  :)   I love the warm weather and watching them grow.
  4. Someone (OK, a few people) at one of the organizations I belong to is irritating me.  They want to change things that DON’T need to be changed (as in dumbing down a good thing to make it “easier”).
  5. I have some movies I need to return.  I’ve had them too long…I should have mailed them back but keep forgetting.  I’ll take them to blockbuster today and get new ones.
  6. I’m really getting annoyed that I can’t perfect my iced coffee recipe but something isn’t right.  :(   Today’s version is passable, but last week’s version was passable too.  But, at 50 calories a glass I HAVE to perfect it.
  7. I just finished authorizing the transfers for all my domain names.  That was a chore.
  8. I just heated up my lunch.  It doesn’t look all that great but it tastes OK.  Now if Jeeves would just keep his nose (literally) out of it.
  9. I’m trying really hard to concentrate on work today but it’s FRIDAY and I keep get distracted.
  10. I went to a new (to me) bakery in town yesterday for lunch and brought home a sticky roll.  It’s DELICIOUS and I want more of it right now but am going to hold out since I cut it into thirds and the last piece has to wait until tomorrow.

Jeeves

Jeeves has come to stay. That’s right. The nameless kitty has a name. Now, my Jeeves isn’t as helpful as his name would lead you to believe. But, bossy he is. He’s taken over the role of office manager for Taylored Office Solutions. Unfortunately, his idea of what work should look like and mine don’t always coincide, in which case he’s banished from the office. Although, I think he gets the good end of the deal there because I get stuck in the small, hot office with the door closed while he gets run of the house. Hmm….

But, the rest of the time he’s quietly observing to make sure I stay on task. I think he’s learned that the only way treats come his way if if Mama gets some work done. Not that the house is covered in cat toys or anything.
