Wiiiiiii

Got my income tax return and splurged on a Wii. Me and the kids have been having a fun time with it. We played bowling and I got a game Samba something. The one Jeannette has been playing. It is alot of fun. I also got a gift card from my Dad for Christmas. Got some new sneaks for work. The rest went to the Wii. That is the family gift. Not much else going on. Linda

Too Hot for TV: PETA's Banned Ads

Anybody have a stud dog?

(Want to thank everyone for the comments, I agree that letting her have puppies is not a responsible thing to do. I think we should get her fixed too.) Yuppers, our Esther is in heat. She is about 9 years old and Rich thought she couldn't come into heat anymore. But lately she has been... "ahem", paying more attention to her private areas and sure enough now she is leaving little notes all over. Now personally this is like hell for me because I cannot stand dogs licking themselves. Big dogs, even worse. It is all I can do not to scream when they begin lop, lop, lopping away! I have to yell at them or leave the room or I will go nuts. So needless to say, Esther is really making me a basket case right now! There is a male across the street who is part Sharpei, Chow and lab maybe. His name is Dex and he is a beautiful big boy. I asked his owner and she said she would talk to her hubby, but I haven't heard back. No, I am not breeding her to stop the licking by the way. I probably won't do it anyhow because we have enough to deal with without puppies too!
The snow storm was a bit of a dud. We only got about 7 inches of snow. We got a mix in the afternoon and the forecast said it wasn't going to do that, but it did. Have a nice day everyone!

Doesn't this look like fun?

Hey Mom, this one is for you! Yes we are in the blue. It is snowing already at 6:51 am. I should be getting ready for work but I'm being a little slow this morning. Kids don't have school. Regents exams are going to be re-scheduled. Traffic is going to be a nightmare. I guess cars are off the road already in some places and there is only a little snow on the ground. I bet the snowplow guys will be earning their paychecks today!

Here we snow again!

More and more and more snow! We are expecting 8-14 in. of snow by tomorrow night. I am ready for spring but realize we still have at least 2 more months of winter like weather to go. I heard that Greta found a good home. The person who took her did not tell me personally, I had to hear about it on Craigslist but at least I found out. Not too much going on here. Still debating the bankruptcy thing but am going to start getting the paperwork together to take care of it if I need to.

Greta's first home not working for her...

In my opinion this Mike and Dawn don't know squat about dogs...


Hi Linda,

Greta is actually back in our care. From everything you told us about her, and the short time David and I have had with her I didn't think she was going to be a problem. Here is an email from the people who we had adopted Greta out to last night....

Hey David and Lisa, it's Mike and Dawn. We picked up the Shiba Inu last night. I really want to say that last night was the worse night of our lives. "GRETA" was great until we went to bed. All she did was howel and bark and wimper all night. She also destroyed 3 of Dawns expensive plants. She got into the pantry and somehow decided that the cooking oil would be great to chew on and spill all over the place. After getting up and checking on her to see if she was alright, we discovered what she had done. She also decided to knock the garbage can over and spill all the garbage out of the can. She growled at Dawn several times. It intimidated her and scared her. She also scratched the 1 bedroom door we put her in for only 10 or 15 minutes to get her accommodated before letting her roam through the house and check things out. She pooped in the one bedroom after in the middle of the night. I let her out before we went too bed. We live in a very nice home with expensive things. After just last night, we decided that this was not a good idea. We just want too know if you could take her back. It's a shame because, I really like her. We just cannot have a dog that is going to destroy our home and keep us up all night with her action. One reason my wife agreeded about getting the dog was, is that she has Colorectal Cancer Stage 3 and she wanted me too have somekind of companion if anything is too happen after her chemotherapy treatments. I told her I would love to have a dog, especially a Shiba Inu, and just happens there was Greta, it's just a shame she is not what we expected. Please consider taking her back, we know you take in dogs and adopt them out. We are going to Saratoga this evening to stay at friends for the night. Hopefully you will consider taking her back and finding her a home that she won't destroy, and owners that have the time and patience for such a pet. We just cannot afford to have our home destroyed anymore. With us going away over night to our friends, we do not want too come home to anymore damage. Please call us as soon as possible. Mike and Dawn.

More dog rescue

Another exciting dog rescue day yesterday. Sarah's grandmother told me that the ex was in JAIL for not paying a fine. So I went up there with her last evening and lo and behold, there was no girlfriend there. Just the dog running around with his leash on. Now people, you have heard of dirty houses... This house should be condemned. Piles of trash on the floor. Pizza boxes, rotting food. Bottles, cans, dog feces all over. You can't even walk with out having to step through trash. Down the hall was all dog feces and in both bedrooms. The bathrooms were unusable. Black toilets and garbage and filth everywhere. I am going to go up and snap some pictures. Maybe useful someday. I don't see how any human can live like that. Animals don't even live like that unless forced to. Otto was so happy to come with me and was thrilled at my house. He was hungry and is eating constantly and drinking alot. He has not had an accident yet. I'm surprised seeing as he is used to using the house as a toilet. On a different note, that couple I gave my other dog too.. I have not heard from them at all yesterday and I am a little concerned. You hear stories about people getting animals for the purpose of using them for pitbull bait or other bad things. I should of checked them out more. They claimed to be starting up an animal shelter and would foster animals until they find a home for them. I hope she is legit.
