OMG I wasn't that close to our two dogs (I thought) But watching penny girl dye and my husband crying over her was so tear breaking for me. It took over four grouling hours for her to dye. Her little heart just wasn't going to beat anymore.

Sad part is Hubby was feeding them at four in the evening and penny just went down and was breathing the lung sound. It was awful. So I give badger some water and we take penny out of kennel and bring to the house. I even gave her some aspirin in water to help with pain. She couldn't stand up so hubby had to take her outside and hold her up to pee. he did it three different times before her heart gave out.

Hubby brought penny down to see badger to show her brother she was dead. Badger wouldn't come out of the dog house so hubby put the penny in back of truck , then went back to see what was wrong with badger. OMG he couldn't walk and hubby carried him up and into the house. He has been in and out of sleeping since penny died. it has been over twenty four hours and he has thrown up and went into a coma state. then he lifts his head and comes back to life. God why cant he let go and get it over with. I have cried and hubby has cried. I even ask who ever is over doggy heaven to please take him. But as of yet he is still here and once in awhile he does a terrible sound of bark or cry . Should just get it over with but me or hubby cant make our self do it. I feel so awful for him. all the suffering he is going through. Penny girl went out with dignity and badger is scared to death to let go. Or his heart is still strong but nothing else is.

I am just writing this cause I just feel I got to vent it out. I will never get another pet. they don't out live you and its to hard to watch them go through it.

My little stars

Now you tell me if this isn't the cutest bunch of grandchildren. I must say I am the happiest and proudest grandmother around Minnesota. They make life worth all the sore backs and arthritis that I have to deal with. Getting older is easier with the younger ones to share with. They make me at times feel young again. Also they make me feel my age when I play with them. :)
I love my grandchildren very much. Who would have thought my heart had room for more love. Funny how the human body can love so easily. If the whole world population could just use this kind of love to get along with each other. Our nation would be a wonderful place to live in.

January was a month of sick

I and hubby were sick most of January, thank god its gone. With the cold and then the flu and then hubby bad teeth, I thought we would never survive. But we did. and now we are in February and now we had a outbreak of scabies at work. But we are sure we are not caring them and out in the clear. So finally I am going to take a trip to MPLS. to see the kids and grand kids. Yeah! Haven't seen them since Christmas.
I don't know if it is my age or if we just get the worse of the worse residents at work. I feel like I'm running my ass off and getting no where. With the Alzheimer's not knowing they are suppose to sleep I just cant keep up with them. I had to look outside last night to see if there was a full moon. Its just horrible.
Hubby is outside on this beautiful day we are having snowplowing the mushy snow of the driveway. I am just finishing supper and waiting for him to come in so we can eat our homemade stew and biscuit's I made. We have been eating in more. I am enjoying taking new recipes offline and trying them. Found a great baking powder biscuit and also a great steakhouse wheat bread. I have to go buy some fresh herbs and then I am going to try some new recipes on avocados. ( just to see if we like them) Well hubby is coming in so off to go eat.

remolding

I remember doing this like twenty some years ago and never thought that I and hubby would go through ripping out the bathroom and putting it back together. But we did and now that we got the tub and tile done we spent all day cleaning our bedroom out to see if we could fit a closet in the bathroom. And yes we did it. so we will be adding a closet in the bathroom and shrinking our bedroom a little bit.

But we will be gaining room in the bathroom and also we can have access to our piping for the shower and tub. So maybe we wouldn't have the water damage we got by not seeing the leak before it rotted the wall and floor under the tub..

And really I don't entertain in the bedroom . So to loose the space isn't going to hurt us that much.

Also hubby says he wants to go look for another sink for the bathroom. that should be fun. And I need to figure out what to do with the walls, Man are they ugly now.... So I think I will be busy for a few more weeks.

Forgot I had a blog

I've been so busy with my farmville I just haven't had time to even write on here!
But it isn't just that! The stress level at my job is over the limit right now! I had to wait till Friday for my new schedule and then to find out I still have my old one! Thanks for that! But it will be very interesting on my holidays and what I will get off this summer! Well I hope I can get out of there in three years and go do something a little more fun!
Because of my part time I will be at the bottom of the list by next year in seniority so I will have everyone passing me up so when it comes to signing up for the holidays and vacation I wont be able to get them! That's what I get for giving twenty years of service to them! Oh but I am getting a severance pay of three hundred dollars and a hundred for every year I work there! Yeah!!!!! but I did loose over twelve thousand dollars in sick leave that I cant get because the benefit was only for when I work for the county! So they just take it from me! I should have been one of those who abused it and used it!!!!! Oh well isn't a thing I can do about it! So I need to let it go and get on with my life with the new company who took us over!
Life is so fun at this age ! Who would have thought I would be looking for medical insurance as of Nov 1 I and hubby will have none! I did find one company that I can afford but there is such a deductible that if we do end up hospitalized we will have to pay with a credit card and pay on that for a few months!!! I wish the government would get something in place for the middle class who pay all taxes and get nothing but stabbed in the back in the end!

Out to eat

We went to the casino for a special they were having through out July! Of course we made it to the last Tuesday for the seafood buffet for only 8.99. We got there at 5:15 pm and we had to sign up for our grand casino member card which is free! Because either me or hubby have never had one we got ten dollars to use on a machine! We then went to get in line for the buffet! Well you have to get a number and then wait till the number is called!

We got our number and were told it would be a three hour minimum wait to get in! They had just called 15. We were number 67! Well we took off to go spend the money we got and I liked the wolf machine so I put my card in then you put the code in and then I put a dollar in and I lost it all! Well I had one more dollar in my pocket so I put it in the machine! Hubby got very upset with me as he had to borrow a dollar to start his machine up to play! I finally told him to shut up when my machine went on a 6 game free spin and I won hundred and six dollars! I proceeded to take the cash! Hubby won sixteen dollars but played till he got to ten and took it out! We payed my sister the dollar back!

Well we then proceeded to the buffet to see they were at number 24 and it had been a hour ! So we went to the bar and had a beer! Took our time sipping away and then we went back to see we were at number 30! We went to the truck to read newspaper and now we are running about three hours into this! So we head back in and sit right by were you go in and they were at number 38! I told hubby we will be in by nine or so! Well A guy came up to us and offer his tickets to us with the number 42 and they just called the number! So we got in about 9;15 pm. Boy was it worth the wait! great crab legs and the rest of the food was wonderfull! But I filled up on crab legs! hubby filled up on shrimp.

We got out about a hour later so around 10:15 and they were at number 59 so I went around and found a young woman and man who had number 90 and gave them our tickets! She was very excited!

Well we headed home and if I were to do this again I would get there by two and get my ticket for the buffet early!

oh my gosh

I got a new clown and had to pick it up at the post office! And of course I couldn't wait to get home so I open the box and look at it! Well the box of Styrofoam peanuts didn't get into the house! So when I went to work the night before I realize it was in my view for backing up! So when I got home I took it out and put it by the truck!
Well hubby put it under the truck tire while working on the trailer and we both forgot about it!
Oh my Gosh!
Hubby pulled the truck around to the garage he ran over the box! Glory be we had Styrofoam peanuts flying all over! Into the woods and to the neighbors ! We ran around trying to pick up the darn stuff!
The neighbors must have thought we were nuts! Plus it must have been one of the windiest days we have had so far! We got most of them!
But what fun I and hubby can find for us to do on my day off!
