That's what I'm doing today.
What are U doing? :)

First I have to clean dog poop. Yuck. But at least it's warm out. Then me and Juneau are going on a long walk. This is the day to be outdoors.

AMEN to that! I'm scheduled for a couple of app'ts. So I'll be forced to go out. (lol) Maybe I'll stop at the park and enjoy the balmy weather. But I'll bring my umbrella, just in case. :)

PS-At least Romeo's little sausages aren't as big as Juneau's. Does he do that often? Romeo goes through spells, but most of the time he's OK. The job of cleaning up after our pets once in a while goes with the territory. A small price to pay for all the joy they bring us. Just hold your nose and breathe through your mouth.

It's really not that bad. I'm the only one who does it so I have no choice but to deal with it. When I was a kid I was the one to clean up after my two dogs. I guess that's my designation in life, poop-cleaner, LOL
Well, that part's done, so now we have the whole day free. After our walk I'm going to sit in my rocking chair out back and read for a while. Just to be out in fresh air. I already opened all the windows that don't have plastic over them. I purposely leave a few uncovered for this very reason.

Enjoy the day, Jackie!

Molly, Erin's dog, got into a skunk again yesterday. I think it was a dead one, but she must have rolled in it. I washed her up & she wasn't too terrible, but my daughter owes me for that one. Just because Molly sleeps with me when Erin is gone doesn't mean she's my dog. I don't have a dog, especially one with such bad taste in perfume!

LOL - So... Daddy's Little Girl owes you one.
Somehow I don't think you're going to require payment. :)

Don't rub it in!

Ah! You love it, Jim! You can't help yourself.

I keep telling our son... wait till your daughters grow up. You're going to meet your match. He already has, with them. Even at 10 and 12 years old they know how to manage him. His defenses are down. Even I, as his mother, wouldn't dare to look at him with the disapproving glances they sometimes use on him when they can't get their way. The older one at 12 already knows how to be cool and haughty. LOL I love seeing him so helpless before them. He's not the type one dares to criticize. But they do. It's payback time. (g)

I have a sign in front of our 4 boys' photos. It says: "World's Greatest Critics".

We love to tease each other.
