I had a visit from my granddaughter, Sheepie, today. She and her two dogs came to spend the day with me while her fiance' spent the day watching college football games. If you don't know it already, that's a big thing here in the South. The fans can be rabid about their teams...LOL.
The dogs are adorable. They are adults but small dogs. Daphne is Sheepie's dog and little Cleo is Teach's. I thought Cleo was adorable. She's tiny and has these long skinny legs on her. She bounces when she is trying to jump up on your lap or the chair you are sitting in. She loves to be scratched or just cuddled.
I loved watching the two dogs play together. What is funny is that Daphne didn't like Cleo when she was first found and brought into the house. Sheepie brought her in, shaved her matted hair off and bathed her since she was filthy and had fleas. After blowing her dry, Daphne showed her disapproval by trying to kill her. At least, that's what Sheepie said. Sheepie was going to try to find a family for Cleo but Teach fell in love with her and claimed her as his own.
You can tell by how they play together that the two dogs obviously settled their differences and now live amicably together. They even shared a big rawhide bone (one of Baron's) with each of them on a different end, chewing with their little teeth.
We found out that the family is celebrating Thanksgiving on Saturday this year. Two weeks from yesterday. Sheepie plans on going over to the Princess' house early to help with the dinner preparations plus make what she plans on contributing. I was asked to make my sweet potato casserole and some potato salad since Johnnycakes loves my potato salad. I will also make some nut cups since I had planned on that anyway. Sheepie is making the green bean casserole and some fruit salad. So at least we know we will all be getting together, just not on the normal Thanksgiving day. That's because Johnnycake's family is having their dinner on Thanksgiving. The newlyweds don't really want to be dragging the baby (and all his accoutrements) around from place to place on the same day. I don't blame them for that plus Gunner is so damn cute. The family will want to be able to spend some time with Gunner and spoil him a little.
Sheepie helped the Beast salvage his chili. He used a tomato paste with chili seasoning in it. With all he had bought that was chili related plus the chili seasoning mix (in packets), the house smelled like both tomato paste and cumin. That's all you could taste with the *bite* it also had. All-in-all, it was the worst batch of chili the Beast ever made. Sheepie helped a bit with her addition of sugar to cut the sharpness of the paste. Even the Beast admitted it helped. But there's no cure for too much cumin. We all ate it but I've eaten (and made) better chili. We talked about it later and I told the Beast to drop adding the chili mix from the envelopes and use what we have here. I told him what I used when I make my chili and he said next time he would let me get the spices out for him and he's never using tomato paste again.....LOL!
Teach came to pick up Sheepie after the games were over and we got to talk for a bit. I really love that guy and it's so cute how the two of them are together. You can tell they love each other. I think Teach liked the fact that I think Cleo is adorable, too.
I fell asleep early and didn't get up more than once to use the bathroom. I didn't stay up but went right back to bed under my nice warm comforter. I am heading back that way now that I am done with this blog.
Love you all. Stay warm. Have some fun. ***Hugs***
