Okay. So I have this old Beagle named Buddy, who was a stray and very likely always an outdoor and hunting dog. Anyone unfamiliar with Buddy can read my entries about him here if you so choose. Anyway, to make a long story short, it’s COLD outside, and that’s where Buddy stays. So far he seems to be doing well with his Dogloo filled with ( Read more... )

Day three of my six day work week has just come to pass. I’m tired beyond belief, and having to put other things on hold while I learn to re-structure my time. But you know what I’ve come to realize? I actually like working weekends. We’re so busy we’re totally swamped for most of it. These 7 & 8 hour shifts are passing by so much quicker than ( Read more... )

I blogged about how upset I was when Buddy, our old Beagle, went missing.

I nearly cried after coming home Sunday evening and hearing that no one had seen him. Then today I nearly cried again, when I got home from a doctor’s appointment this morning, and he still wasn’t here. I had to really, really bite my tongue to keep from going off on Joe ( Read more... )

Life has been a whirlwind lately.

Another Beagle (I am *hoping* it is the one I blogged about briefly here, and that there aren’t anymore abandoned hunting dogs running around.) has found Buddy, and is now sticking around. So I guess we have ANOTHER dog.

The boys have been calling this one Pretty Boy. He ( Read more... )

Last week, I made a post about the stray who wandered into our yard, which we decided to keep and named Buddy.

We continued to feed Buddy and let him get used to us. When I got my paycheck, I got a harness, stake, and tie out for him, then we didn’t see him at all over the weekend. (It was rainy/stormy, and turned out he was under the neighbor’s ( Read more... )

First off, it’s been quite a hectic week!

I’m feeling a LOT better - almost super - even though I still have remnants from the ick I’ve been fighting off for a few weeks now. Not even the best diet pills have been needed to keep my emotional eating in check, though. It’s amazing what the state of my mood, mind, and possibly getting myself put ( Read more... )
