You are doing a wonderful job! How about keeping some gum in the car, just for when driving. Chew, sing along, whatever it takes. $40 is a huge amount to save, treat yourself to a massage or facial with that money,girl!
It's getting so the new year starts out looking like the old year 😞 I'm already late with this.
Happy new year and wishes for all good things to all my basenji friends 🙂
I may take you up on that - if I can't get in where I typically stay and am familiar with. I've stayed in a couple of dives that I'd not care to return too.
Seems like even if it's 'high' season - I should be able to risk waiting until I get there to see what the weather is like - I could go down to Fort Myers - I did that once before when it was too rainy and gloomy in Tampa area.
I may just get one night somewhere certain and then just decide when I get there. Doesn't bother me much but hubby is a bit less willing to risk it.
We had a lovely day with family and friends. Cory got a new coat and enjoyed a big bone in her crate while we all opened gifts. The crate was by the fireplace and she had a good vantage point without being tempted to assist in the unwrapping of gifts. She hadn't ever seen a fire in the fireplace before and wasn't too sure about it at first. (We don't get too many chances in coastal Georgia to justify building a fire.) We hope everyone's Christmas was as good.
When my middle son and wife come to visit - they bring their 2 labs. I let the labs be loose in the house and kennel my basenjis - can't imagine the basenji 500 with 2 huge labs in a small house. As folks get older though the dogs can be an issue so don't know how much longer I'll be able to let them come. This Thanksgiving - 2 labs and 2 mature ladies with walkers was interesting.
However when we would go and visit my husbands family - could never bring dogs - they refused to have dogs in the house - ever.
I agree with whoever said - their house their rules.
I saw this show for the first time last night. I didn't think it was sad, because the nice doggy gets adopted into a home where the people have been evaluated and dog is placed with people who are best suited for the individual dog. It's like a reality game and they all know only one home gets the dog. The people know they might not get that dog. But I'm glad that the people who don't win on the show, will probably adopt and rescue another well deserving dog. Just my take . . . but I only saw the one show.
thanks! clears up my confusion! at first when i saw someone using it i thought it was the initials of their husband or wife or something, then i saw other people using it, and i was confused.. but now i get it!
I had to ask what it meant too DM, I had no clue either.:D
