Something Positive!

[Janet]

I need to get busy again...I have another list, but not sure how much I'll get done this year with puppies in the house. I'll have to wait to paint....IF I paint.

[judy]

I'm taking the day off!

[Tink]

It's weird to be able to complete all my housework in a matter of minutes now. LOL
I love it, but keep feeling like I've forgotten something.

I've been trying to decide what to get involved with to keep myself busy, but am leaning toward waiting till spring to take on anything outside the house. When the weather is foul it's such a luxury not to have to go out other than to tend to the dogs and get the mail.

Ok, TODAY I really am going to take down the Christmas decorations!!!!! LOL!!!!

[Janet]

I am thankful that the x-rays showed Gidget is to have 4 puppies. I'm thinking I see a 5th one, but not sure. We'll see!

[judy]

I need an extra tv and don't want to buy an HDTV until I move. My friend Carol has an extra TV and she's bringing it over tonight! I'm making dinner and we'll have a nice visit.

[Tink]

My positive today is that I went to town and stocked up for myself and the dogs, so we're set to ride out the weather for nearly a week if need be.

We have up to 10" of snow and then several days of temps not reaching a HIGH of zero in the forecast. So I will be bringing Canada and the pup in so they don't become Pupsicles. So I'll have a great excuse to hibernate and cuddle with my furry friends.

[judy]

I'm glad you got supplies. It sounds like you're going to have a nice, cozy week!
It's a great reason for down time.

[Janet]

We are suppose to have subzero temps too. I don't like it cold!!!!

[judy]

Oh my! At least you'll be busy at home with Gidget. I hope you have everything in the house that you need. I'd hate to think that you might have to run out in that kind of cold!

[Janet]

My positive is I have everything here I need for whelping. All except k-y jelly. Hubby is bringing that home tonight....just in case. I pray for an easy whelp and that Gidget is as great with the babies as she was last time. Not much longer!

[Tink]

We ended up with 6-7" of snow, so not as bad as predicted.
Today we're slowly inching down to the colder temps... it's 12 right now but is supposed to be subzero by tonight. I plan to bring the 2 outside dogs in this afternoon and just keep them in till it gets decent out again. It will be crazy with them all in, but better that than them suffering in the cold. It will give me a chance to really interact with the little boy and pamper him a bit too so should be fun in that respect.

Greg was in Kansas City this morning, so I hope he'll be home tonight or tomorrow. I've already warned the kids to stay in and out of the weather... so I hope they listen. They're predicting -35 windchill which is just plain dangerous.

[Janet]

Oh Tink, we're suppose to get cold here too. I'm not looking forward to it with Gidget's due date on Sunday. I hope everything goes smoothly so we don't have to get out in it.

My positive for the day is I just plain feel good!

Janet, that's a wonderful way to feel. I'm GLAD for you! When you're feeling good everything else is just a whole lot easier to handle too.

Ya know how life throws you curve balls and surprises... well I've had a few of those lately. I won't be getting a pup from ND like I thought... long story but it boils down to sometimes when people are down they would just rather stay there. So I'm stepping back and letting them

BUT
I just had a phone conversation with the person I"m getting my new poodle from.
It's not turning out like I expected, but I am going to be getting a CHOCOLATE POODLE from the same place I got Moses. It's a boy and just over 6 months old, and I can pick him up whenever I have the chance... so will let the weather warm up a bit before I go there as it's expected to be sub zero there too for the next few days. So I will have a new male to use on Moses dds and a lovely rich color besides!

Tink and Janet, I think that you just need to stay in by a warm fire!!! BBBBBRRRRR!!!!! -35 wind chill is COLD!!!! I think that you're wise to bring in your dogs to keep them warm. When we get really cold we put Mollee in the garage where it's warmer.

Janet, I'm so glad that you've had a good day!!! I think that I've caught the winter blahs! That's just how I feel.....Blah! I need someone to do something funny on here so I can laugh, but then I need hubby to stay off of the computer so I can see it!!!!!! I'm getting really tired of him being on the computer!!!!

Tink, it might be for the best that your little venture with this other family didn't work out. I'd sure hate to see you put in a lot of time and money and be taken advantage of. I really think that if God wants you in something that He makes an easy path for it. You may be getting an early warning to steer clear of it.
