This is Sammy

Well, Sammy is here and he is confused.

Second home, third if you count the pound, in a few months and no one knows what happened before that.  See that tail, that is not a poodle tail. I think he needs a spa day in the near future.

Picked up his stuff this morning and about fell over, there was a bug on on the bed. It turns out it was a cricket. I know this because a guy came in and bought crickets, 64 cents worth of crickets. WTF, who buys crickets in the USof A? I mean China had fighting insects but never had I known Grosse Pointers to fight with crickets.

He stuck his nose up at the bed, his old toys, his new toys, and mama's big chair which he found on his own.

And after all the turmoil from the head of rescue group I have Sammy with no receipt and no contract and no
nothing from the group. Some people should not be in charge of anything. I was amazed though when the foster mom told me Sammy was a tax deduction as a rescue dog. Who knew?

His foster mom cried when she left. I felt bad for her and gave her a silk scarf from China, her Sammy scarf. Planned on giving her the scarf and did it well before the tears. And no I did not have to feed and water them and they were not intrusive.

Yah Lou's Pet Supplies

This dog adoption is still crazy, phone calls all over and now the foster mom is crying I think because she is so attached to Sammy now. Shit this is hard all the way around. Sue and Mike are coming tomorrow with Sammy and I will have tissues available.

So what to do, I called Lou's and put in my order. This is what I love about Grosse Pointe, call up and tell them what you want. They tell you what they got. Tomorrow I walk in and pick the whole nine yards, no problems. And when we see if Sammy likes his shit, then he can go back with me to get more shit. As long as he is on his leash. Which I think I dazed the clerk when I said I wanted a snap back leash, just picture it, and she finally said a retractable leash.

Here is my order:

Merrick chicken flavored dry food, made for water to be added.
Merrick chicken flavored wet food with an additional lid so it is not nasty in the fridge.
Brush for poodle hair.
Bed for 10 pound poodle.
Snap back leash, ha ha ha.
Some soft toys that are nice and appropriate.

Big Daddy, your household may be somewhat larger when you arrive back home.

We will see tomorrow, the triage for cleaning is now on the dining room table and no matter what life goes on.

The dog rescue continues

Pearl has suggested I wear friendly dog walking clothes. I have 2 outfits one for below 70 degrees and one for above. I am hopeful they look friendly. I am hoping the jeans fit as we never know with the slight weight gain from quitting smoking and the IBS, some days yes and some days no. I hope this dog likes to walk as I need an excuse to get out there more. I also hope he likes longer ears, a mustache, and dry dog food. Yes, we like to change our men.

So if this works out I need 3 dog beds, a harness, leashes, yard stakes and food, brushes and maybe toys. And dog cookies.

And I need to get over my fear of bats.

Two dogs ago, Sherry Good Girl and I were sleeping in the Family Room in the big chair. BD took Sherry out for the last time of the evening and a bat flew in our door. I slept through the entire fiasco and Sherry paid no attention to BD trying to capture the bat. BD told me in the morning about the entire comedy skit he performed and went to the airport and flew out of town. I came home from work and let Sherry out and lo and behold there was a bat hanging on the brick right under the mail slot. This was not good.

I called BD hysterically screaming about the bat. I went and got a broom and swept it off the bricks and it landed right by the walkway to the porch. As we all remember from Dark Shadows this was not going to work out. I walked down the street and knocked on the friendly neighbors door and told the son I needed his help, using my broom as proof that I was either a witch or a crazy woman. Did you know that bats can scream? Did you know that crazy women dance with their brooms when this happens. Last I saw of the bat was Billy walking down the sidewalk with the bat clutching a stick.

So I am wondering if I can train the dog to only need to pee in the daylight.

Pet Rescue Operations

I am trying to adopt a rescue dog. I do not want a puppy and I have a good history as a dog owner.

I had to fill out paperwork which I felt should have allowed me to adopt children.

I am looking to adopt a 10 year old poodle with the shortest ears I have ever seen in my life. Doggie is a male, white haired, short cut, no mustache guy who needs a home.

The rescue people answered my email and told me that they would be in touch. They explained the delay as the foster family was on vacation. Okay.

Maybe meet the dog on Wednesday. Then the powers that be want to inspect my
home. Hate that people want to look at my stuff.

How does one dress for this this?

What is up on the Internet and Google and Blogger

If I was in China I would be blaming all this crazy ass shit on Mao, but no right here in the USof A this Internet shit has gone crazzzzy. Can't post a comment on Esby's blog and God knows he needs my help to make coffee. Dude, you buy a European coffee maker that does that steam press thing with regular coffee grounds and a grinder thingy for beans and then you can make coffee by the cup at whatever strength you want. My special coffee maker is broken and waiting to go into the shop. European coffee makers are like the European cars, expensive to maintain. But they make the best coffee ever.

All this computer shit changing is pissing me off. And if I could figure out how to take the stupid ID off my Blog I would, this is getting really stupid.

Punkin Head called me today, I think he is fearful I am about to run down the street naked and screaming. He is probably right, I am getting close. I think my expectations of the new and wonderful jobs would be a done deal by now. Gullible and idealistic.

Now I need think about getting a job, getting a dog or getting into a volunteer situation. Job is dicey in case Big Daddy will need to move, can't risk my reputation in that case. Dog is easier but to make that decision right now, it will definitely be a rescue dog, and some of them just can't take the stress of constant moving. Me and the rescue dog running down the street naked is not a good picture. Volunteering could work for the moment, what could happen there? I could lead the crazees down the street.

This is the big election day here in Michigan and it is turning out crazy. One is asking the Dems to vote for his opponent and the other is robocalling from hell. Newt, I think his hanging back at Somerset Mall in the Tiffany store and who the hell knows where Ron Paul is having dinner.

In the Metro Detroit area, Kwame's dad is saying he will not take a deal from the Feds and rat out his son, the Grosse Pointe lady that was  strangled her case is still  sitting and percolating with no arrests, and they are still killing children a couple times a week in the city.
