I spent a lot of time on my feet and doing *stuff* today. I worked some more on getting my computer room in order, cleaned my desk off well (then spilled coffee on it and had to do it all over again) and did another load of laundry. We actually ate leftover spaghetti ! Even the Beast....but I did *tweak* my bowl with some spices and a little extra sauce (don't tell the Beast...shhh). I just threw in some sauce straight out of the jar. With my spice additions, it worked out fine.
I have to tell you this about our getting Dennis so soon after Baron died. If you read my blogs around that time, you know I thought the Beast was wrong to do it so soon. I missed Baron and hated it when he had to be put to sleep. He was in such pain and struggling to please us that you almost had to cry to watch him. I was still grieving for him when the Beast ended up adopting Dennis. But.......I have to say that Dennis is such a great pup, both to watch and because he is such a happy dog.
He loves to run around the yard, tease the hens and roughhouse with the cat. He goes outside regardless of the weather. He's just as happy when it's raining as he is when the weather is nice. He's becoming more and more obedient and calm and he's not even a year old yet. Unfortunately, Labradors don't mature until they are 2-3 years old. I'll just be glad when he is out of his *chewing* stage that they all go through. At least he hasn't chewed or tried to chew any furniture. Years ago, we had a Lab pup that actually chewed a dresser and I mean he *CHEWED* it up badly. We ended up returning him to the shelter because we both worked strange hours at the time and we couldn't leave him alone for any length of time. It was really sad. The damage he did was just in one day and he made it unuseable. I was shocked.
When I say *years ago*, I'm talking about when we were newlyweds. Since we are married almost 53 years, you know I am not kidding....LOL. I still find it hard to believe it's been that long. *Sigh*
Another thing I accomplished today was finally getting my hair coloring done. This was a totally new brand but I had read some good comments about so I sent away for it since it isn't carried locally.....yet. It has a pre-treatment for your hair, then the normal coloring and the cream rinse supplied smells wonderful and left my hair feeling amazing. Plus, to my surprise, I have color variations. They are subtle but it makes my hair color look natural. It's a shock but a nice surprise. I think the pre-treatment has something to do with that. I will report on this again after a few days and let you know if I still feel good about it. I might even drop the name of the brand. *Wink*
Okay, it's that time again. Love you all. Hopefully, the snowstorms that hit the Midweat and NE are truly the last hurrah before Springtime weather becomes the norm for us all. Be good, stay warm and be kind. ***Hugs***
