Good morning Happy Wednesday First Day of May Laura that is interesting you were a storm chaser in college. I am glad Lisa inspired you to make something for Pippi that doesn't cause sores. Nice that the vet told you the sores from pads on Pippi will be ongoing and you are trying to create something not to cause her sores. I think you are doing fabulous with her being 17 years old. Glad you and Willy and Dakota got to go on a walk. If you have been to 36 states you have been to more than I have. Anick since Willy was attacked but a dog when puppy I don't blame you for saying safer off leash. Deb neat you were in New York several times and you have been to about 48 states. My girlfriend Mare has been to all the states. When I was living in New Jersey with my aunt and worked at Prentice Hall Publishing Company the girls in the office put so much money in every payday then we went to New York City had lunch then went to the play Grease I loved it and it was so funny. When I visited my girlfriend Mare in her home in Omaha Nebraska they took me out west to Colorado, Wyoming and South Dakota. plus when they visited me in New Jersey they took me to see the sights in New York. Lisa you inspire a lot of us. How neat you had a storm chaser show you videos at the library that must have been very interesting. I loved the cartoon you shared but whenever I walked Sabrina if I could see a dog ahead of us I would turn down a street to avoid any confrontation with dogs as she would get so scared. My neighbor did research of calming dogs because what my groomer said to medicate Belle heavily before bringing her to groom said that Lavender suppose to calm dogs. So she brought me some Lavendor Oil and I sprinkled on the pee pads and in their dogs beds so shall see if it calms her down. Leslie how is Murphy doing with training Diane what did the vet say about Buddy I checked your facebook page and did not see anything haven't seen you post so has me worried. Sending you prayers I have the last of the window installers coming to give me a quote for 9 windows today between 1 and 3 then on Friday at 11 the title company is coming for me to sign paper work with a notary to close on my home equity loan. Then I can put down half for the windowx and safe the rest for when windows are complete. I also what to get a landscaper in to plant me some beautiful flowers so when I sit on my porch I can see flowers instead of green shrubs. I will pay my sister what I owe her and pay off the electric bill from Green Sky that I had to pay$13,000 to get home insurance as had to do all my electric and since did not have the cash had to finance with them it jumped to $19,000 so paying that off will kick out the $300 a month for it. Plus pay off my credit card from having to put that tree on it and Orkin and my girls heart worm and tick and flee medication it put me behind as I always paid it off as soon as I got it but having that much could not. Hugs, Dee, Dallas and Belle

Oh my, I will try to catch up on what everyone is doing.
Monday and Tuesday were busy and I just didn't get here. Buddy had his appointment on Monday and his bloodwork came back yesterday. All things considered, he is stable for now which is good. He actually weighed more than he thought he would. We are trying him on a hydrolyzed protein food now as he wasn't wanting to eat his other food. He ate well yesterday. His liver enzymes are more elevated this year and his cholesterol is off the chart.
Thank you for the good wishes for him! Now to try to catch up on what everyone is doing.

Good morning everyone! Laura, I meant to say how happy I am that the vet didn't say what we all dread and that Pippi and you are doing good, creative things to make her life better! I am so lucky that Sparkle hasn't become incontinent. She is actually doing quite well for her age! Deb, so why did your parents move around so much? Anick, I remember when that happened and am happy that it did not affect him too badly! I can't say I blame him! Carol, you are right in that Laura is a great Pippi parent! Hee hee!! Dee thank you for saying I inspire all, but I really don't know how!! I am glad you are getting a home equity loan to pay off that high interest stuff! I did the same!! Diane I am SO glad to hear from you and how well Buddy is doing. Like everyone else, I worry! My happy today is I FINALLY got all the endcaps updated in Adult Fiction so they are ALL finally correct! It has been a LONG time!

That's something that your girlfriend made it to all 50 states! Going to Alaska and Hawaii isn't cheap. My parents didn't go there as a child because it wasn't enroute to where my Dad would be working next. If he had wanted to work in Hawaii, just like in Fla., he would have had to do an additional year as an intern. He did that once when we first came across to America and didn't want to do it again. The pay is lower. Anyway, I was always told that having wandering ways was something that ran in my Dad's family. I have since found out there was more to the story. When I write or work on my autobiography this summer, I'll go into it. One thing for all you home owners, you will always have the equity you accumulated to fall back on if needed. I have a small place and it's hard enough to clean! I no longer need a big place for me and Foofy. The main thing, I live in a city with rent control! That has kept my rent relatively low. Yay on getting your endcaps, Lisa! BTW, what is the difference between adult fiction and just plain fiction? Have a great day today, everyone!

Diane, I hope Buddy's new food makes him want to eat more.
I don't know much about home equity loans, they are very new around here, I am just happy we did finish paying our home loan this year and can finally say we truly own our home.

Good morning Happy Thursday Carol glad everything makes you happy I know about being picky this morning Dallas would not eat so I tried again at 8 don't want to leave and her hunbry all day so she finally ate. Lisa so glad you got the end caps all finished for the Adult Fiction Willy it is nice to actually own your own home mommy paid cash for this one from the sale of the one in Kentucky she was preapproved for a loan but the owner wanted cash no home inspection found out why when I had to do a whole new electrical system. Mommy will have a monthly payment for the home equity loan but at least she is getting windows. She is going with First Choice only costing ^8,300 have to put half down then it will take 12 weeks before they get windows in and can install. Tomorrow title company coming with a notary to sign for the home equity loan. Diane I hope the new food helps Buddy but if his cholesterol\Deb that is off the chart do they give dogs cholesterol pills, I take cholesterol for high cholesterol Deb you are right if you own a home you have equity in your house to fall back on Everyone have a great day I have to go to chair yoga and cardio drumming is back today and I have quilting Hugs Dee, Dallas and Belle

Deb, yay for rent control!! And the good thing about renting is you are not responsible for repairs or landscaping!!
The difference is we have fiction for adults, fiction for teens and fiction for kids. We also have readers (easy reading for those learning) and picture books, as well as graphic novels for adults, teens and youth. This is as opposed to the non-fiction for all three groups.
Anick, that is a big deal!~ Congratulations! I still owe quite a bit on mine, but I am able to make my payments with no problem.
Carol, trees with leaves is the best, especially for providing shade in the triple digit weather! EXCEPT I do NOT park under the trees at the library because the hundreds of birds (peacocks and pigeons) poop all over the place!
Dee glad your cardio drumming is finally back! I know you love it!!
My happy today is I finally got my account with Southwest straightened out so I feel more confident that I will be able to fly on Tuesday! Hee hee!

Anick, that is awesome you paid off your house loan. We have been mortgage free for several years now. It is a good feeling.
Lisa, glad you got your flight figured out!
Dee, cardio drumming sounds like fun!
Deb, there are many advantages to renting! No yard work is one of them.
Buddy had a very good day today so that is my happy

Yay, Diane for Buddy! And hooray for Anick & being mortgage free! Lisa, glad you'll be able to fly! Hope you enjoy your cardio drumming. True enough about no yard work, plus calling up the manager when I need repairs, so that's cost free! I have 3 more days off. Yay for me!

Good morning Happy Friday Anick that is great you have your home mortgage paid off. Also great that Willy is going for the Lure racing I bet he will go nuts. Have fun with setting up agility we will miss you but know all is well Lisa so glad you got stuff straightened out with Southwest and you will be able to fly. We are so anxious for you though trees over shade so steering wheel won't be hot I don't blame you for not parking under it for all the bird poop. That is a mess to clean up when it sets from the hot sun. Diane so happy Buddy had a good day. Cardio drumming is fun though we only had 10 in attendance. Leslie good morning how are you and Murphy doing with training Deb nice to call the manager to fix any problems but do you hear a lot of noise in the apartment. When mommy was young in her 20's had an apartment she had the floor apartment she heard thumpkng of kids on floor above her and trying to get her laundry done in laundy room was hard people put their stuff and left. She worked 3rd shirt so very hard to sleep during the day with all the hollering Wiw 3 more days of that is great My happy today the notary coming today for me to sign paperwork for the closing of my home equity loan so when the money goes into back I will be able to put down deposit on windows. I have a landscaper coming Monday to see how much it would cost to take out green shrubs and put colorful flower, then pay off the finance company for the electrical work I had done when I first moved here and pay my sister what I owe her and some money to go in bank. After windows I do need to get new blinds or curtains. Bonnie posted pictures on Facebook of Mindy having a good time with Pat's dog Zack. I sure do miss Mindy Hugs Dee, Dallas and Belle.
