Good Afternoon

Its been a good day so far. Looks like rain soon but you never know do you...... It's getting very humid and the sky is cloudy, not the rain clouds but just not blue. I went to the post office this morning because I had to mail my bills and get stamps. The last time I got stamps I got those big Disney ones and others that were big. My son said why don't you just get the regular ones with the flag ..... so I got some of the regular ones with the flag to please the men but I also got some with pretty flowers to please me... Next time I may get some big ones again, you never know. Then I went to Wal Mart for a few things. They have some bird seed there I like to get for my bigger feeders.... it has cherries in and some peanuts and sunflower seeds. Iam sure the birds just love it and probably the squirrels do too. Then I got a couple of small cans of cat food. I was reading about cats and it said cats are not like dogs as they need meat to live a good life. It said the dry cat food isn't enough for them so I will try and see if Charlie likes it and then I will cut back on his dry food. I would think the dry food I get is just fine as its probably one of the most expensive brands but this person or persons seem to know what they were talking about and I want Charlie to be healthy. My dogs get dry food but they also get food from Leo and Gary. I suggest to Gary that Pizza isn't good for them but he won't listen. I guess he figures if its good enough for him its good for the dogs..... I think that is why they are overweight but no matter how many times I tell him I am sure he still gives them some...
Now back to my new neighbors..... he and a friend unloaded the four containers that were delivered and 4 more came but in the meantime another friend came and it took them both to get the man next door into the van.... He must have hurt himself moving furniture I would guess..... I think the people that moved out did it a better way.... the "Two Men and a Truck" moved all the big things for them.... they moved boxes but they didn't have big ones, they made sure. I feel so sorry fot the guy though because if its his back I know what he is going through because that happened to Leo too and he had a hard time getting in the car to go to the hospital. Once we got to the hospital it was easier because someone came and brought him in.... Some men are so .... whats the word? maybe proud or just embarresed that it would happen that they refuse to call an ambulance. I hope he can wait until he gets more help this time. He lives with 3 women... his 2 daughters and his older mother so they probably don't do much .... Their dog hasn't bothered us with barking lately either.... Peaches and their Milo are pretty good about it but not Twinkie.... that little stinker he just heads for the fence everytime he goes out and starts to bark. Now I have to go out with them and get him to do what he is out there to do and not bark or he is back in the house. Maybe he too will learn and he will be able to stay out longer. he really really loves it outside so maybe he will figure it out soon. I think he is rather spoiled, but is not used to a dog on that side and that was their resting place etc as the other side and back have little dogs too.
I have been reading lately so have not yet finished my afghan.... Maybe tomorrow I will work on it some more. :) I worked in the yard cutting back and pulling weeds this afternoon but then it was so humid I decided to wait until the weather is better. I think I will start another book. I got 4 at the library but I think I may have read a couple of them before. thats why I like to get new books --- then I know I didn't read it yet.... I either read too many or my mind is getting bad... don't think its my mind, must be I read soooo many, LOL
Hope your day is going good, Sandra

My dog passed away in April. She was 22 years old. She stayed in the house most of the time but when she went outside, she spent it barking at nothing. I think it was her way of "doing her job" of protecting her humans. She was half blind and deaf. She felt like she was still useful. She is missed.
