She looks beautiful! Lulu would be jealous!

Lol! Thank you! Kelly had her looking like a poof ball!

Brad - that pizza looks amazing!! Now I'm hungry!!
And I think in that picture of Gracie going to the groomer, she is looking at me like "really, another picture" LOL

AMD - so glad you decided to change groomers! You are right, being sedated when not necessary isn't a good thing!!
And I do love October too!! Time is just going so fast!

Snowflake - I love the picture of "the only lights on in the house are the tree lights. I agree 100%

HMG - you are welcome for the recipe! And I would have been upset about having to throw away all that chicken too - especially since I don't like to eat Chinese food. HA!
And Gracie had a fine time at the groomer - thanks!

Now I will have to go look to see what else I was going to reply too. Geez ~ could be "one of them days"

Me, too.
Can't wait!!!

Good Morning, Eager Awaiters and Passionate Christmas Appreciators.

And the wait grows shorter by the day, as our figures attest:
Days to the Season: 43
Days to Christmas Day: 85

Now UNDER a week remains until we enter the HOME STRETCH to Christmas Season 2015.
Yes, incredible though it may be to believe, we will be NINETY PERCENT of the way through our journey as of October 7.
And then -- won't the remaining days seem to pass quickly!

Well, we had a break in the rain yesterday, although it was quite damp and often overcast. Rain will resume today and last until early next week, and that's if the hurricane doesn't come ashore. If it does, all bets are off!
We are at 65 degrees here at the moment and Mother Nature looks poised to unleash more wetness at any time.

Keep dry, and have a Thrilling Thursday, Fantastic Friends!

Good morning Crown, Happy October!
Hope you have a great day!

Good morning MMC! Happy Friday Eve!!!!!!!! It's a chilly morning - supposed to be cloudy all day, 18 mph wind & a high of 65º, although we haven't hit our predicted high all week! I guess we'll see!

The good news is the groomer didn't have to cut much off of Gracie yesterday, the bad news is she wants me to start bringing her in every 2 weeks if we want to keep her longer She will do a bath & work on clumps, then in 2 weeks another bath & clumps & at 6 weeks a groom if needed, otherwise another bath & a groom at 8 weeks. The good news is she charges less for the grooming b/c she's so easy since she's been groomed all along & the cost ends up being about the same. Just a lot of running. This is what she does for her Wheatie that she keeps longer. She'll be going to the beauty parlor 3 x to my one. LOL I will try this schedule for the winter so we can keep her longer, but in the summer she will get a short cut again! Here's her "after" shot....


Have a Fantastic FRIDAY EVE everyone!!!

Good morning Holiday!
Happy Thursday!
Maggie goes to the beauty parlor more often than I do too. So funny. Gracie looks adorable!

Happy October Holiday!

I love looking at the calendars we have up at work for Oct/Nov/Dec. I took down Sept since it's over. We have a "work calendar" with holidays, vacation days, and work-related things we need to do on our schedule. Our boss loves to plan ahead so we usually have at least a couple of months up at once.

By the way, the "go to first unread message" button is really, really useful.

Merry October and Friday Eve! Just working today and it is going to be raining for the next few days but the chilly weather is here. I love it but not sure how long it will stay! I have QVC on now and watching Home for the Holidays with Dan. I love seeing all the lights!

Hope you all have a great Thursday!

Good morning everyone, Happy October!
Can't believe it's October, I'm so excited! There's another Keepsake Ornament debut this weekend, anyone plan on going? I can't wait to go!
Maggie's appointment with the holistic veterinarian is today, I'm praying that he can help her. We'll see what happens.
We decided we're going to file the small claims complaint against the animal hospital and the doctor that misdiagnosed Molly. Not sure if we'll make it to the court office today since my husband already plans on leaving work this afternoon to go to the vet with me. If we can't do it today, we'll go tomorrow morning and start the process. I don't know if we stand a chance of winning, it's going to be hard to prove. I have no doubt that this doctor will lie under oath. So it's basically going to be our word against his. But we have nothing to lose at this point. And our word is just as good as his, so I'll let the judge decide.
That's about it for me. I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

Best of luck today at the holistic appointment. Keeping everything crossed for hearing good news. I fully support your decision to take action. No mater what happens at least you can go away knowing that you did something. GOOD LUCK!! Keep us posted.

Good Thursday morning everyone. But even more importantly good OCTOBER morning. We are in to the final and by far best quarter of the year. I know the season doesn't start until November 13th but I am a big Halloween fan so I love October. Plus it really feels like we're in Autumn now. Currently in NY we have 51 degrees and cloudy skies.
Today I will have a busy day at work (which is good). I like Thursdays because I feel like you can start to think about the weekend a bit then. I used to think about it on Wednesdays but that just seems too far from the weekend. It hasn't been a bad week and I'm hoping today continues that trend. Hoping to enjoy this first day of October and start watching some kind of Halloween shows after work. I think SCI Fi has an all month celebration for it.
Hope everyone has a great Thursday, first day of October...the time we wait for all year is pretty much upon us. Check in with you guys during the day. Glad to be back here full-time. Best website by far on the internet.

I agree these are the best months! Have a great day at work. Your evening plans sound great.

I think our days of 80 degree temps are done. But I'm sure we'll have some nice warmish days still here and there.

It really is!!
It has been a week, so looking forward to the weekend!!
Thank you, to you as well!!

I'm looking forward to the weekend too. I wish the weather was going to be nicer. We'll probably need to have the heat on at the trailer all weekend!! LOL I'm having coffee with Mom/sisters/sil/nieces Saturday morning. The bicycle poker run probably isn't going to happen Saturday afternoon, so I can watch a movie...that is until the Buckeyes play at 3:30! It makes me sleepy thinking about the weather. LOL
Glad to hear your day is going well!!!!
