Rice goop and baths

Ellie has had it!  This morning, being Saturday, she wanted to go for a walk with Geoff and then have a bone.  Routine--she absolutely demanded it!  The puppies were making a racket, and I discovered that indeed, Mr. UPS man had delivered the puppy supplement food yesterday.  Yea!  So I whisked some up with warm water, scrubbed the new puppy pan stickers off, and put them in the pen.  Kirby sat and lapped it up like a big dog (well, he is).  Cloe and Lambie Pie waded in and slurped.  Jasper was befuddled and the rest of the puppies started licking anyone who'd fallen in.  Still, they got covered in sticky rice soup.

Marie, of Linderlabradoodles, who's been my constant advisor (thank heavens), said Ellie would probably clean them up.  But she didn't.  McKenzie and I spent 45 min with washcloths....  She did feed them though.  

Gosh, I can't wait for lunch and dinner!  Think I'll drop my CU course.  I've been looking for an excuse!

Wild Thing and Izzy have been sitting on my lap as I write.  Now Wild Thing has her chin on my typing arm.  She says hi.  She's such a doll.  Should name her Dolly.  She's gone under my neck to snuggle, and is now twitching asleep on my lap.  So sweet.

Did you know that the Honda Element was named Dogcar of the year?  Was going to turn in my other car early and get one yesterday, but stupid Planet Honda put me through the 3 hour haggle, and I had to think about it over a couple of glasses of Chardonnay with Geoff.  Decided to get the Mini Cooper Clubman instead.  I truly love that drive!  So gotta decide on colors--what fun!!! Only it takes months to get one.  So, good thing I started early.

New horses are doing fine, except the well went dry because the sprinkler was on all night.  Hayley took the lemonade pitcher out there to fill up Mondo's automatic waterer.  New horsey, unnamed, took the pitcher and put a hole in it.  That's ok.  It was a dollar special.  No laundry today!  Have to get the well to refill.  

Yep, think I'll just have to drop that course.  

P.S.  Uncle Eddie got ferocious when Geoff called Toby into the puppy pen.  Eddie would have started a brawl if Hayley hadn't stopped him!  He is the true blue protector.  Toby got out of the pen and "woo-wooed" at Eddie, like, "They're not YOUR puppies!"
