Happy Birthday Scully! (115/365)

TIME: 9:29 pm

PLACE: Living room
SUBJECT: Scully

*~*~*

Miss Scully turned 3 years old today (That's 28 in human years according to this website).

StellaDella and I took her to White Cottage for a Scooby snack (we also brought one home for Mr. Mulder).

She was surprisingly well-behaved.

Happy birthday to a fellow Taurus.  No wonder we get along so well!

Paint by Number (102/365)

PLACE: Living room
SUBJECT: Vintage Paint by Number

*~*~*

I had a routine doctor's appointment this morning and afterwards, stopped by a nearby antique mall to check things out.

This was one of the 1st things I saw when I walked in. And, like most things I see in antique malls, I didn't need it but I wanted it.  So of course I bought it.

This was on the back:

"If you two are still around when I am gone - Good. Just Rember [sic] - I - I Painted You - 1-3-59

Dick Lles otherwise I spell it like this [fancy signature]"

Still trying to figure out if that is his real name or he was being a funny guy...

Lump (101/365)

PLACE: Living room

*~*~*

I took this picture of Mr. Mulder due to the large bag of lump charcoal in the background.

Because he is a big old lump and I love him!

edited to add:

Apparently today is National Pet Day. I didn't know this. Sorry, Tessa, Jack and Scully, I only posted Mulder today, but I love you knuckleheads too!

 

Full Moon (087/365)

TIME: 7:55 pm
PLACE: Outside
SUBJECT: Moon

*~*~*

On the way home from picking up supper I noticed the moon was pretty big.

I pulled into a parking lot with a decent unobstructed view and took some photos.

When I was pulling out of the parking lot, "Werewolves of London" started playing on the radio - I kid you not!  It was a very appropriate song.
 
*~*~*

Mulder apparently felt the full moon coming on earlier today.
 

He did some howling of his own 
(actually, he heard sirens, he always howls along with sirens).

(Dang, look at smear-age on the front door.  We may have some dogs living with us. LOL. 
Also, that is me snorting/snickering in the video.)

 

Still Missing Her (075/365)

SUBJECT: Oreo

*~*~*

One year ago we said goodbye to this sweet girl.

I still miss her terribly.  

She was a good dog.

Who Finds This Funny? (072/365)

TIME: 6:23 pm

PLACE: SD's room
SUBJECT: Sticker

*~*~*

SD got this sticker from the "Junk Food Doody Stickers, Collect All 10!" vending machine at the supermarket.

Other possibilities were Smellogg's, Dr. Pooper, Lay a Big One, Monster Deuce (the one she *really* wanted and did get as well) and Dingleberries Potato Chips.

I must have the maturity level of a 12-year-old boy, because I found them hilarious.

So did Scully.

 

Happy Adopt-a-versary Mr. Mo! (071/365)

TIME: 7:57 pm

PLACE: Living room
SUBJECT: Mr. Mulder

*~*~*

4 years ago, on this day, as I and the girls were driving down the alley, we saw this guy up against the back of a neighbor's fence.

At first, we thought he was an older dog and hurt, but he wasn't, he was just a 6-month old puppy who was just scared and stressed because someone abandoned him.

It was late afternoon on a Sunday and there was no where to take him.  The police came by and said they could take him to the county pound. The girls were afraid he would be euthanized and begged to keep him and find who owns him ourselves.  I had a feeling he was dumped, and knew no one would claim him, but I had moment of weakness and agreed to bring him in the house -  TEMPORARILY. 

You can see how well *that* went.

The kids did try to find him a home.

But, in the end, we kept him.

Mr. Mulder was good for Oreo.  I truly believe she stuck around with us longer because he was here to keep her going.

He still has abandonment issues.  He doesn't like to ride in cars.  When he gets nervous, we have to hold his paw.  He will steal one of your socks out of the laundry basket when given the chance. When we go on walks he leaves his mark more often than not. He loves to give kisses and likes to be hugged and snuggled. Overall he is a very good boy.

Paw Balm (018/365)

TIME: 6:45 pm

PLACE: Kitchen
SUBJECT: Ingredients for Dog Paw Balm

*~*~*

That crazy dog lady (me) is at it again.

This time?  Homemade paw balm for the dogs.

Their pads are dry and rough, especially Mr. Mulder's.  I think that may be why he limps sometimes, because his paws are sore.

I found a recipe on the American Kennel Club's website.  I included vitamin E oil as well.

Now we'll see if Mr. Mo and Miss Scully will let me rub it on their paws.  

If not, I think it will make a great balm for my dry hands!

Yep - this is the crazy party scene at my house this New Years.

Try not to be jealous of how much fun we are having.

...and because I like a Prisma filter.

 

He Gets to Sleep In (323/366)

TIME: 8:19 am
PLACE: Bedroom
SUBJECT: Mulder

*~*~*

He gets to stay in bed while I get up to go to work.

Granted, I am working from home, which means I have been waking up about 45 minutes later than I used to when I had the 30 mile commute.

Still - sometimes I get a bit jealous of his leisurely life.

He does have to poop outside though - so maybe I don't have it too bad.

Sleeping Scully (310/366)

TIME: 6:09 pm
PLACE: Kitchen
SUBJECT: Scully

*~*~*

We had some beautiful fall weather today - sunny and temps in the 70s.

The dogs were in the yard much of the day.

All the fresh air must have made her tired.

Lap Dogs (298/366)

Yes, I'm sitting on my couch for the 2nd night in a row.

Tonight, I have the doggos to keep me warm.

Oil & Water (275/366)

TIME: 7:19 pm
PLACE: Kitchen
SUBJECT: Oil & water

*~*~*

I found a quick bread mix in the cupboard that had a best by date of yesterday.

I decided to live life dangerously and make it anyway.

Always fun to measure the oil and water like this.

Speaking of oil and water......

TIME: 8:14 pm

PLACE: Living room
SUBJECT: Scully and Mulder

*~*~*

These two are getting along just a tiny bit better each day.

Sometime they regress, but we are slowly moving closer toward the goal of peacefully co-existing in the same house.

It's a process.

Mo-Mo Monday (265/366)

Someone is feeling very secure tonight.

Mitzy (251/366)

TIME: 6:10 pm
PLACE: My brother's
SUBJECT: Mitzy

*~*~*

This is Mitzy or Spritzy or Mitz.  

She has several other names, all of which escape me at the moment.

This girl is about 14 years old.

She reminds me so much of my late Miss Oreo. 

Except she's about a 10th of Oreo's size.  

And white instead of black.
But her old lady ways are the same.

But I do love me a senior dog.

Nothing better than a Sunday afternoon nap on the couch with a snuggly doggo.

What Mulder Dreams Of (235/366)

TIME: 8:02 PM
PLACE: Couch
SUBJECT: Mulder

*~*~*

While I was watching a movie (Valley Girl), Mr. Mulder was on the end of the couch snoozing and occasionally waking up to see what was happening.

I think he was dreaming that StellaDella would bring home bagels like this from her shift at St Louis Bread Co. (aka Panera in the rest of the Country)

She did  - yay! - we have breakfast tomorrow!!!

*~*~*

Sometimes you catch the ball....

Sometimes you don't....

And sometimes you end up with a completely different ball than what you started out with.

And you enjoyed every minute of it!

I am holding a ball.

This is the one of the few ways to keep her still enough to be able to take a photo.
