Just sent grandson off to school. Temperature is 39 this morning. Just heard on the local news, that with all of the school cancellations this year, that instead of getting out on May 30th they will have to go until June 9th.
I'm on my way into the City for my follow-up appointment. Plan to hit a couple of the specialty grocery stores before heading back out to the country. I hope this is the final trip into the City for awhile--I've been to the City four times in seven days. That's more often than I usually hit the City in two months. I almost think I should've packed a lunch...
Good luck with the appointment. Have fun shopping. Thinking of you.I'm on my way into the City for my follow-up appointment.

When we had a dog, we trained him to lie down in his bed while we ate. I didn't care for pets begging at the table. When we were done, the dog made a beeline for the high chair/kid's chair to clean the floor. No question, if you have small children, a dog is a boon for keeping the floor clean.
Don't you hate when that happens? I do.IT's been a lovely warm sunny day here today. I was watching Mrs Blackbird collecting nesting material to take into a tree on my boundary this morning, 2 blue tits having a tremendous row about something and a bird of prey (a buzzard?) riding the air currents, swooping and soaring and really enjoying him/herself.
Up with the lark at 6.30am. Briefcase packed, showered, hair done, make-up perfect, dressed in most efficient-looking smart casual outfit and sitting in car outside on road by 9am waiting for my passengers to turn up to go to the National Ladies' Luncheon Clubs' conference in Macclesfield...........
.................At 9.15am I suddenly realised that the conference was on 17th March and today is NOT the 17th!!
(Sigh!)

We don't give my dog much people food because it causes issues you don't want to hear about. But he LOVES Cheerios. They can't be dry, they have to be out of my bowl with the milk on them. As soon as I put them in the bowl he starts to jump around. If I sit down, he will try to jump into my lap. So I dump a spoonful on the floor and hope he eats slowly. LOL

Trust Andy to find the silver lining!

We don't give Violet much people food either - wouldn't you know we would get a dog with food allergies (wheat, beef) . I do give her some gluten free pasta noodles once in awhile as she loves them, but she mostly gets hypoallergenic dog food. She had banana once or twice and loved it, but it gave her horrific gas.
We taught Violet not to beg when she was a puppy. She would go to sleep at our feet or go to her bed. Then Joie came along with tons of bad habits including begging and barking. She doesn't beg all the time and we choose to ignore it so she ends up laying down and going to sleep.
Another reason I so love Beagle. She waits a respectable distance from our food, then will Hoover up any spills when we're finished. All my dogs have been second-hand, and adults. They would stick their faces in our plates if we let them. Sit and Stay commands did not work. DH's 2 original white mutts were the worst. He did no training of them at all. The cockers were just plain dumb (or smart, depends on perspective).
I need to get on some mending of DH's shirt pockets.
All's good!
