…because I can’t think of anything earth shattering to write. To tell the truth every full length blog post has turned into a rant and who needs that?
The dentist/prosthodontist appointment was wild. You know you’re in trouble when the dentist disappears after examining you and the finance person is suddenly beside the chair. The dentist is spared the nasty business of discussing how much it’s going to cost and the financial person whips out the tissue and pats you on the back. They couldn’t scare me. I’ve been to this haunted house before. Bottom line, I gave them my credit card and told myself that I need to write another book. 🙂
Speaking of which, I’m currently writing a new book and it’s kinda/sorta different. I’m enjoying it thoroughly. Plus, I like mixing things up a bit.
Stanley has been acting funny ever since the dentist appointment on Monday. He hasn’t been his usual bouncy self at night. He hasn’t wanted to play. He only wants to stick close to me – as if he’s afraid I’m going to leave him again. Poor guy, I have to go to the dentist for the next six weeks – once a week for them to remove a screw, insert a screw, test the screw, do the cosmetic work, etc. He is going to day care first, though. I hope it’s not going to be traumatic for him. Joni – the manager of the doggy day care – takes him outside with one or two other dogs so he can sniff doggy butt. At least he gets to socialize a little.
I removed Stanley’s FitBark from his collar. It was bugging me. I worried about him not doing as many “steps” as other dogs his breed. Okay, I was getting a little anal. Good heavens, we all have too many things to worry about as it is.
Today is put out the garbage day and we’ve already done that. Stanley stays inside while I schlep the container to the curb. At least it wasn’t raining which makes it even more delightful. 🙂
I’m on a new eating plan that requires I consume at least three cups of greens per day. Y’all, I am not a greens kind of person. However, I do like arugula so I eat three cups of arugula or spinach or red leaf lettuce. Stanley LOVES kale chips so I make them for him, but Lord love a duck I have issues with kale. Do any of you eat it raw? It has sharp leaves. It’s like eating a Venus Fly Trap. Do you like kale?
Okay, heading off to do the greens thing and then a little cleaning. Have a lovely afternoon/evening middle of the week!
Hey, I want you to keep in mind that you and Stanley are a brave team. He is in need of some assurance that he is safe with you. On Easter, I had a house full of company. Sonny was accidentally touched from behind by a strange hand. He had an accident on the floor. He never does that. Now he does not want to sleep in his bed, he wants to be under my bed – near me.
So, you going to the dentist and having major stuff done = a brave woman. And Stanley wanting to be near you when he can = brave dog.
Y’all are a good team and you are both working through acceptance of situations you don’t like. See – brave!
I love cooked kale—but not so keen on it raw when it tends to bite back.
Dentists are a big rip off. In the olden days it cost next to nothing for a filling. Now you have to take out a loan to pay for it. My dentist told me I needed a deep cleaning. I didn’t do it right away because it was expensive. Then that dentist left and another one took over the practice. He said nothing about a deep cleaning when I had an appointment.
I bought some kale because I heard it was good for you. I sautéed it and didn’t like it. I love vegetables so maybe I’ll try cooking it a different way.
I like sauteed kale in small quantities.
Just a quick statement. The only one that eats kale in this family is my rabbit Blossom.
We are so similar, in both life experiences and tastes. I feel for you, my friend. Mush on.
That’s a lovely picture of Lord Stanley. I will not eat kale in any way, shape, or form.
Lovely picture of Sir Stanley. He’s so cute. I will not eat kale in any way shape or for
with your greens.
