Seriously......she designed this home and it is truly a thing of beauty.....ranch, 3300+, not a single wasted square foot...designed with a lifetime of learning how to make every inch count and...

THE RETURN OF HELLHOUND...AND OTHER ANIMAL MATTERS...
So, let's see......where did I leave off with my adventures? Oh, yes.....my poor cat, Bliss, had a feeding tube inserted and we were waiting 24 hours to give it a run.

UPDATE
Bliss still wasn't eating and was just breaking my heart because I am so worried about her.....blubbering and bronchitis do not make a good combination! She's a black cat with an athletic build anyway, so after almost a month of barely eating she's looking absolutely anorexic. Before I go the cat...

WTF!...A RANT!
So.....Mama is in the nursing home/rehab center, supposedly for six weeks but she told me this afternoon she's almost convinced the doctor to let her come home next Monday.....that will be two days after just three weeks!!! Of course, that will mean I will then take over her care here at home.........

As the World Turns...Update
Please, just shoot me if I ever have to go to a nursing home. Of course, like I've always heard....you'd better show up every day if you want to make sure your loved one is taken care of in just about any of those places because they are all pretty much under-staffed and, face it, very few people...

SPINNING
So, I've been staying out at the lake....I gave myself permission to leave Mama to her Hellhound for now and save my sanity. I have her neighbor checking in on her daily. Besides, she's having her new stone floors installed (since her carpets were ruined by said beast who refuses to housetrain) so...

HELLHOUND...CONTINUED
Oh, yes….it sounds cute, doesn’t it? A little old lady with her big Border Collie, as the dog tears around the house, chewing up her furniture, her carpet, and anything else she can get her teeth on? Continue to imagine the dog chewing on thin old lady skin, now covered with bandages…..see the...
