Busy day yesterday!

Yesterday I has an eye appt at walmart. (Follow up to see about the contacts) I picked my sister up at 10am, so she could keep an eye on Ryleigh while I went back to the appt. After the appt we took Ryleigh to see daddy and talked for a little bit. Then we looked around walmart. Rona had a few things she needed for school, and I needed a few things to start my sewing adventure. After that Rona went into Bed, Bath and Beyond. I stayed in the car with the sleeping princess. Then it was off to ToysRus to return the umbrella stroller. The rubber handle broke. Then I found out that that stroller was discontinued and the only way to get the same one was to wait 3 + weeks for a store to store transfer, or get the plain dumb purple/black one. That was the only one remotly "girly". So we went with purple :( (I learned a return trick from Carly. Create a registry and put that item on it as "bought". It makes for a hassle free return! Thanks Carly)

Then, off to Gabes to get more stuff for Rona, and to look around for Ryleigh things. The only thing I found was 2 red doggie collars for $.49!!! Great deal! Then off to DHHR so they could copy a paper they needed. After that I dropped Rona off at the house and went HOME. By that time it was almost 3pm! I put Ryleigh down for a nap and asked Beverly to help me with the sewing machine. To make a long story short I was on the phone with her and looking at her web cam for about 30 min or more and it didnt work :( I did find a free manual online for it, I just have to find somewhere to print it out. Its 20 pages....yikes! I have a printer with ink, but its not compatable with Vista. So anyway, the sewing is on hold till I figure out the machine. I did find out that my machine is 15 years old! WOW. Older things seem to be made better, so Im hoping it still works. I really want to learn to sew!

Doggie Funnies/Temperament

Harley has a new trick. I think we may have given him a complex about his weight. We've been calling him chunky, chunker, Chunky monkey, etc. Now whenever he needs to go through a door he will nudge it open. It opens about a foot. Plenty of room for his little body to get through! Nope, that's not enough room, so he thinks. He nudges it again. Still not wide enough. He isn't happy until the door slams against the closet doors!

Harley and Chopper both LOVE the water. Harley is very calm in the water. He will walk around the tub, sit in the shower, swim around the pool (he can barley touch) and run in the hose water and jump to get to the water. Chopper on the other hand is a WILD MAN when it comes to water. he cant just stand in the tub and let me have a bath, he has to dig at the water. He doesn't stop digging till there isn't anymore water. Showers, forget it, he stands there and snaps at the water, jumps and goes psycho. The same with the hose.

Its amazing how different both of them are. Harley is very gentle with how he does things. When he drinks water in the dish he gently laps it up. He doesn't spill a single drop. Chopper gulps that water and there is a puddle of water a foot around the dish

At night Chopper turns into a little snuggler. I think he feels bad for me, because the baby snuggles about as good as rock does...lol. He curles up next to my chest and hes sound asleep. Harley will go under the covers and lay his head over my feet keeping them nice and toasty. I love my dogs very much! They aren't too spoiled are they? Do you have pets that you spoil?
