Yet another reason why everyone loves Bella

Today Bella made my day.

She was driving me oh-so-crazy this afternoon so I finally went outside with her to play. Upon entering the back yard she proceeds to do about 15 laps (think she was happy to be playing?). Then, she pounces on her toy & attempts to taunt me with it. I have to wonder if she thinks I actually want her dirty, saliva damp rope or she knows I only humor her. Well, Bella isn't exactly a throw-and-fetch kinda dog. She is more like a "chase me! chase me!" kinda dog. And Oklahoma is HOT so needless to say I didn't chase her for very long.

Instead, I decided to water our almost dead lawn. Dead grass is so not a problem in West Virginia so watering is new to me. I know there must be some really excellent way to water a lawn, but I basically just point & shoot with the hose. No, it doesn't get watered evenly & no, it's probably not very effective, but it's all I got. Anyway, in watering the lawn I discovered that Bella is afraid of the water hose! She runs from it like it is poisonous! I sprayed her a couple of times which really freaked her out. She is afraid of the water hose, yet she will lap up bacteria laden water & eat cat poop. What gives?

Well, while I was still watering, a little white doggy stuck it's head through our wooden fence. Bella freezes. Freezes & stares. I guess the little doggy didn't see us because it just hopped right into our yard. So I said "Hi doggy" which caused it to run back out of our yard which lit a fire under Bella's butt to try to follow it. However, Bella is a big dog & will not fit into the opening in our fence so all I could see was a white butt wiggling. Then I think the little white doggy must have run away because Bella proceeded to do about 10 more laps in our yard. I guess she was excited about our visitor :)

It was so funny! I love dogs!!

Bella & Zoe

K, so much for catching up with vaca & the like. Today Bella got to play with her friend Zoe. They are so cute! Check it out.

This is Bella realizing that something in the bushes is moving...

It's Zoe the Tabby Cat!! yay!

Bella asks Zoe in dog language if she wants to play.

Zoe says, "No Way Jose"!!

Bella says, "I won't leave you alone until you play with me"

"BACK OFF Mutt-I will claw you!"

Bella finally resigns to just lay down near her :)

Friends at last.

This is the closest I could get Phoenix to the outside world

& then as soon as I turned my back this is where he ran to! He's such a wuss! (But he's my wuss & I love him)

Just Another Manic Monday

wow, monday again. they just keep on coming...

worked again-busy day. on my way to work, i saw a cute little bunny. so sweet. you can try to see it in the picture below, but it's pretty itty bitty.

after work i went to kroger & there was this guy in a white t-shirt that looked a little bit like my honey, but nowhere near as hot.

at kroger i bought some stuff for strawberry shortcake for a bridal shower i'm going to tomorrow night & some new dog toys!! yay for dog toys!

the hedgehog on the right is bella's favorite. we can say "go get your hedgehog" & she actually will!! she's so smart. she's already destroyed 2 of them.
watched 2 more episodes of army wives, ate leftovers & was also super productive according to meg standards. not only did i empty 3 of our garbage cans, i vacuumed & then proceeded to rinse out the filter. oh yes, i am so learning how to clean :)

bella is still pacing waiting for hubby to get home. i just do not satisfy. she keeps looking out the window :) poor girl.

then dawnage called me. here's my favorite pic of her:

& here's a better one:

Dawnage is so great. i miss her.

my baby just called. hey baby :) today is the last day he will have use of his cell phone. so sad, but so true.

went outside with bella to try to wear her butt out. a very hard task indeed. aunt betty gave her more treats & informed me that tomorrow is her birthday so i suppose i need to think of a treat to give her...

came back inside. called sweet linda & talked to her while i did dishes (more productiveness points!) & then i noticed a pile of wet soggy aparagus on the floor. i almost took a picture but didn't so really, you ought to feel lucky. upon observation (lucky for bella i observed before i yelled) i discovered it was not asparagus but grass. still gross. it's still lying there...

no, i'm kidding! i promise i cleaned it up :)

next up...books!!! i've been productive enough for some reading time, right? here are my lovely books. dont tell ashley, but pendragon is way better :)

love you baby. wish you were here so i could tell you about my books cuz they are way cool.

by the way, i'm so tired of kate plus eight or whatever that i could practically vomit at the checkout line. are we really so pathetic that we must obsess over their lives? if people are so interested in infidelity they ought to look around because it's happening everywhere.
