Hi Potties! Just a note before bed. Worn out from watching the Olympics every waking moment.
Katie - Congratulations on the new little one. My neighbor Zac named his son Alexander but they call him Zander. Quite the coincidence. Is this your 1st great-grand?
Glad the puppy is back safe inside with no issues. Almost could wonder if he talked to my 2 cats who were outside recently if y'all weren't so far away.Shelly - Selena has already dropped off the gifts for her parents & twin sisters with her mom since Rhetta's house close to both twins. Rhetta called last night to thank me for the gifts for she & her husband. I gave Garry a deer doormat from one of my charities' gift shop & it turns out when their house was repainted this past summer the colors chosen match the doormat perfectly. I couldn't do that on purpose if I tried!
Could you redo your will with something left for Terry's son & daughter while mentioning although you were aware of your kin, it was not your intention that they share in your estate? That's what my father did with me although he'd never done anything for me when he was alive either. Interesting that those who least deserve to inherit are the 1st to get in line with their hands out.
No, don't have dogs anymore. We had to put our beloved Thumper down in 2011 due to health & age issues & dear Brulee about 2 yrs. later when her health failed. Decided since we were in our 70's that it wouldn't be fair to get a dog that might outlive us. For the same reason we haven't added a cat in at least 5 years or more. Our pets normally live a long time - Thumper: 16 yrs.; Brulee: 13 yrs. - Peaches the cat about 12 yrs. - the remaining cats are, at the youngest, about 8 yrs. old & the oldest probably about 12 yrs. old. Luckily, Selena is very much a cat person (they have 3 but 1 will go to law school with EA in Aug). They'll probably set up a room in their basement for any of mine that survive me & see how they settle in after a time. At least I won't have to worry about them. Zac wants 3 of them but he might let them outside & only Timmy has lived outside enough to be safe. Not sure what to do about that issue since Irish likes Zac (who'd love to have him) & has no outside experience. Will trust Selena to handle it the best way.Max - So sorry to hear the new dog isn't working out. Our Brulee had separation anxiety when we 1st got her - I still have a small chew mark on my coffee table from her. Luckily she got over it very quickly & was no trouble the rest of her life. Terriers seem to be more prone to issues than the average dog. When we had the rat terriers they did more damage in a few months than Bru & Thumper did in their whole lives. I am surprised damage was done when y'all were home - usually it's when they're by themselves that they get anxious & become destructive.
I've already fed the zoo & the Olympics are done for now so I'm off to bed. It's cold again tonight but expected to be in the 50's or low 60's the next few days. The fish were thawed today & very interested in being fed. The birds still act as tho we're in the middle of an ice age so I feed them accordingly. Everybody take care & try to stay warm for those in chilly places. Later.
Susan
