Another Saturday Night and I Ain't Got Nobody...

Hershey and I were groomed on Wednesday. Hershey looks pretty! He is annoyed with me though because I have not made a visit to the dog park recently. It has been hot and I am tired at the end of the day. He does have fun there. He has been playing with Sammy and Sammy loves it. I am still sandwiched between them at night. I cannot explain my popularity. All I ever say is stop licking me, okay that's enough!, STOP LICKING ME! They do love the head rubs and belly rubs I give them. These events occur before we go upstairs for they have given up their night time assaults!

Anyway, I have been doing people things...dinner with friends on Tuesday night, therapy on Thursday night and STARDUST (the movie) on Saturday with lunch and a friend. Great movie by the way, if you like fairy tales. I am watching shows and movies that feature women over forty. We need all the support we can get. I am NOT voting for ANY presidential candidate who is on his third wife or is married to someone 15 or more years younger than he is. Before you say that George and Dick are still married to their first wives so this is not a true test of character, it is not my only criteria. I am very much against giving the US Gov another dime of my hard earned money in any form! until they start working with what they have already been given. I listened to a man on TV today saying that if we raised the gasoline tax 5 cents a gallon, we could fix the bridges... I question his intelligence. Where does he think the already high gasoline tax is going? Do we need shrubs, sprinklers, and flowers or to repair our infrastructure?

Because I had unexpected car repair last week, I cancelled an extra visit from my cleaning people and a haircut. True that was a tenth of what it cost to repair the car but it is a start. I am taking my lunch and eating a lot of vegetables. I am looking for less expensive hotels in Italy for vacation. Choices...they aren't so hard. Okay, okay stop laughing. Everyone one at every income level learns to manage. That is my point. You have a billion dollar budget but you still have to make choices!!!!!!!! You can't do it all and you have to be practical.
This blog is supposed to be about Hershey...many apologies...I got sidetracked. Hershey just brought Sammy back inside (Sammy must have been in the back yard)...barking and herding the cat so I guess it's bedtime.

Cat-Dog Characteristics...

Does a dog learn to pounce? Is it fair to grab the cat by his leg in a wrestling match? Is chewing someones ear and licking someones ear the same thing? More of a cat's head can fit into a dog's mouth than vice a versa. A cat claims you by walking on you and sitting down on your chest or back or hip or lap. When a dog climbs on your chest, is it the same thing...claiming their person? I'm really worried about the job. It may be time to move on and G_d is giving me clues. It is easy to focus on the pets.........

Our Friend SC Came to Visit

Neither SC or I have a car today or tomorrow. One car is having mechanical work done and the other ishaving body work done. I catch a ride to work with a friend but SC is home all day and it was driving her nuts so she came to visit. Hershey gets so excited when he sees SC. We took him for a walk when we returned from walking to a restaurant and having dinner. It is warm here tonight but after 8 PM it cools down. Hershey remembers people that he likes and who like him. It doesn't hurt that SC gives him treats when he visits her house. I give treats too and I am "claimed" by the cat and the dog. I cannot sit down and be left alone by Hershey and Sammy. I have someone on me at all times. I am happy for the company.
I am off to take a shower and go to bed. I am sooooo tired. I enjoyed my walk and dinner because it was shared and just enough without bringing anything home. It was good therapy after the events of the day.
