this seems to be...

my year for accidents.  thank goodness that God didn't see a need to bang my head on a brick tile floor again to knock sense into me and that this time it's fairly minor and involves no short term memory loss.  i simply have to stay down.  and things are looking up - this time, i have company.

my house guest, katie belle, is staring at me as i type.  she has the saddest eyes, and occasionally bats the air for no apparent reason.  she came to visit last sunday night and will be with us until..oh, the 16th of December or so...and i'm glad she's here.  rosie decided she was much too independent to be a house cat and moved into the garage, taking an empty lexapro bottle and half my bracelets with her.  so katie belle's arrival was right on time.

she is my son's blue tick hound puppy, 11 weeks old and she is SUCH a little girl, all dainty and beguiling.  she crosses her front paws in a prissy sort of way, looks up at me from under her lashes and sighs a sigh that plainly says - i am so BORED.

typical teenager.  but she is welcome company.  i like cats - they have their ways and don't take no crap off of nobody, but give me a dog any day. 

and now...

naptime!

oh my no more accidents....I love dogs too, cats are fine but they are too independant.  I miss my dogs, still debating about a new one....Sandi

We used to have a blue tick named Belle.  She was quite a character.  She used to tease my little nervous, yippy dog, and I swear she'd smile the whole time.  I'm so sorry about your accident, and I hope you won't be down for too long.   Are you okay?  Take care!
