Chloe On Patrol

Today, it was a really pretty day out! I believe it is getting a bit on the warm side though, as they didn't all feel the need to stay outside all day. Especially Mariah and Chloe they would rather stay inside with me and watch what is going on outside. Chloe is on her throne! This is where she loves to set and patrol the neighborhood for any moving objects.

Boy that's a Big Picture!

I didn't know it would be soooo big! Anyway, this is a pix of my hubby, whom I love so very much. We have been married now for 8 years. As in all marriages, we have had the good and the bad, but I wouldn't trade him or the marriage for anything in the world!
He's my Knight in shining armor! That's what I've called him since the beginning. We spend alot of time together when we can. Easier now, because he is retired. He probably spends more time with the dogs than what he would like, but he is a great househusband!
Trying to think of something special to do for him on Father's Day this year!
Anyway, just wanted to share him with everyone on here.

Outside almost all day

Not too much to report here. Today was Jonathan's official first day out of school! He got up, ate, and walked over to where his Dad and Papaw were cutting wood. Helped out there and then came home. The dogs stayed outside all morning, with the exception of my shadow, Mariah. She doesn't stay out too long if I'm inside. Chloe and Tink took breaks and came inside, but the other 3 stayed out the entire time. They love laying out there in the sun right now. The weather was really nice, cool, but sunny. I dread summer, I don't like the heat as much as I used to.

Scratching in the Night

I get home night before last and let the dogs out as I usually do. Hubby went up to bed with Scooter in tow, and I stayed downstairs with the others as our usual ritual to let them settle down long enough to start drifting off to sleep but hopefully not long enough for Cojak to fall into full slumber. He's a bear to wake up just to go upstairs, seems like it takes me 5min or more just to get him to wake up. Some guard dog!
Anyway, once upstairs, I shower, and give the 3 that sleeps with us their nightly snack, and lay back to begin watching a bit of tv. Turn the baby monitor for the downstairs on to listen and make sure all is peaceful. SCRATCH, feet running, SCRATCH, SCRATCH, more feet. I get up and go down to see what is going on. There is styrofoam all over the floor in the family room. Some one had gotten one of the kitchen chair pads and properly destroyed it. That's the third one now, by the way. So I pick up all the pieces, meanwhile just fussing at all 3 of the ones downstairs. Bad dog, I say, you shouldn't do that. Just scolding away. I throw the stuff away, come out of the laundry room, 2 of the 3 are gone, and Dakota is slinking around with her tail tucked between her legs, head held down. The other three went and hid under things, and wouldn't come out! Now I feel bad, cause I scolded them. Sheesh, to look at them you would have thought I beat them, they just have a way of pulling at your heart huh? So, naturally I apologized, started talking baby talk to them, and all was right with the world.
Told them to go to Nighty-nite, back upstairs to bed I went, no more problems.

Last Week of School

We are on the last leg now! This is Jonathan's last week in school! He'll be out for a week and graduate on the 22nd of May. I will be so glad, now hopefully he can find a part time or full time job this summer. Keeping my fingers crossed for that too. He wrote out his announcements this weekend so they will go out tomorrow. He still hasn't tried on his cap and gown, but I figure we still have a bit of time for that. Wonder will I cry! Of course I will, better remember the tissues and make sure LB has the camera in his hands.
