Happy Thanksgiving

Today we are thankful for all of our wonderful family and friends (furry & nonfurry)! It doesn't really feel like Thanksgiving as I don't believe we have ever celebrated alone before. We have always had company or gone visiting, but not this year. This year we hung out, just the four of us, 5 cats & 3 dogs. And you know what? it was ok; not as much pressure to make sure everything is cooked to perfection. And, since cooking is my least favorite thing to do, I was alright with that.

We picked up Wiggles yesterday and he is an angel. He has very good house manners and has hooked right up with Wonder and Lexi, playing and sleeping on the couch. We are getting attached already, so luckily he has already been adopted out.

Mr. Wiggles is coming to visit

We finally received word about which foster pup we would be babysitting over the Thanksgiving holiday.

I present to you: MR. WIGGLES!!

Mr. Wiggles is a 6 month old,25 lb border collie mix. He has been adopted and is being transported to his new home with a vet student on December 4. More to come, when he gets here and we get to know his sweet precious personality.

Busy, busy, busy

Haven't had much time lately, been running like a crazy woman all week. KK & I are off to Memphis tonight for a soccer tournament. The rest of our crew is staying home to take care of each other. We will be back on Sunday, so hopefully everything is intact when I return.

We have volunteered to foster a foster puppy for CCR over the Thanksgiving holiday. There are plenty of foster families who are going away and need someone to watch over their furbabies for 4 or 5 days while they are gone. Nobody wants to waste money on kenneling them, so temporary fosters are the answer! And really, can/does anybody really love on them at the kennel?
I don't know who or what yet, but we will find out on Monday and we are excited!!

It's Sunday, so let it all hang out.

Lexi modeling her new T

Lexi has no fat and very thin short fur, and I know she must get a chill when she is out and about. So, we decided she needed a jacket. She & Wonder often rock our house like the WWF Wrestlemania and we were not sure how long a jacket would last before Wonder ripped it off her in some full nelson kind of move.

We were at Petsmart and found this cute little Black & Pink T-shirt on clearance for $5, so we thought we would start with that. If it lasts more than a day, we will get her a warmer jacket for when the really cold weather hits. Isn't she the cutest? The best part is, I really think she enjoys wearing it!

Wordless Wednesday......

Woo-hoo! Have you seen the price of gas??

I never thought that I would be excited about the price of gasoline. That's just me, I don't really care who has the penny cheaper gas or even the dime for that matter. When filling my tank with 20 gallons that only saves me either .20 cents or $2.00; definitely not worth my time. Of course, I did my fair share of complaining when it was $4.59 a gallon not long ago. But today, I was excited (the real w00-hoo kind of excited), and I couldn't believe my eyes: REGULAR UNLEADED GAS $1.95 p/g, which for me then became $1.85 p/g using my Kroger plus card. The grand total of filling the nearly empty gas tank on my Chev. Tahoe today...........$36.50!! Less than 1/2 of the cost 5-6 weeks ago.

An extra $36.50 in my pocket, hmmm, what will I do with it??? Hearguard? Frontline? Nylabones? New Corrugated cardboard scratchers? Equine de-wormer? 1/2 of a new pair of Nike Shox (and what good is one?) for the unfurry child? So many choices!!
