It just keepz dragging on

I swear, this getting back into the house seems to be taking forever even tho it isn't, not really. I guess I'm just too anxious to wait any longer. We have power back, that's a plus but paint takes forever to dry when it's humid and when is it NOT humid in Maryland in the summer?

The grass in the yard gets higher and higher and the dogs are becoming more and more restless. I really have to give the two of them credit. They aren't used to not being able to just run and running up and down the steps just isn't enough. So we take them back to the house so they can run the yard and then visit the neighbors. The other night when I was picking up Josh from work, I took the dogz with me. They were so excited when I invited them, I swear they were vibrating. And even tho it was one mommy and two of them they were so good. I let them run a bit when we picked up Josh but they were happy to go back to the rental and went into the yard without hesitation. I guess it doesn't matter with dogz where they are as long as they are with their people.

Now they haven't been perfect. Who would want a perfect dog? They did shred 7 toiletpaper rolls that were sitting on the floor in the dining room because we all hate going into the back of the cellar. & rolls spread from one end of the first floor to the other. A charmin sort of snow storm. We didn't really yell at them, just told them they shouldn't have done it and they responded with the folded back ears and the big sorrowful eyes. I have found that I do not need to yell at my dogs. The worst scolding for them is fore me to tell them I don't like them right now and then I ignore them. Not for long, how could I ignore them for long, and when I tell them they are forgiven they nearly jump out of their skin with joy.

Kali has taken to given me kisses. Charlie's kissed me from the first day we brought him home but not Kali. She does like her smooched which means I cradle her close and smooch all over her face. Just recently and I do mean recently like last saturday, she gave me a kiss and then tried to mimic Charlie's hugs. A Charlie Hug is a daunting prospect, best accepted without glasses unless you don't mind them mashed into you face. A Charlie hug is basicly when Charlie pushes you over and then rolls all over you, using his silly little girl bark the whole while. Now Kali is doing it, tho she is a bit more delicate than the bruzer boy. Meanwhile Charlie is still shedding and after a number of hugs I am about ready to cough up a hair ball. How can that dog shed so much and not be bald?

There have been sightings of what the neighbors think is Isabella but I haven't seen her. My poor timid little girl. Where my other cat Chloe could handle outside well, Bella never could and rarely went out. I hate thinking of her running wild and only can hope someone is seeing to her.

I finally put in an order to replace my powdered pigments and cannot wait till they come in. I didn't order as much as I lost but probably will eventually.

Other than that... nothing is new and so that's it for this installment of as the head whirlz.
