To clean or not to clean - I think I have my answer.....

Oy, I just watched Million Dollar Listing Miami.`  Sam, the woman agent on the show had a darling Yorkie for 8 1/2 years.  She loved Chloe so much.  She took her to the vet to have her teeth cleaned and there were complications and Chloe died!  This hit me hard as I have vets in Louisiana and Tennessee saying I should have Zippy's teeth cleaned.  I have talked with them both about this possibility and the fact that he is so small and they have trachea issues.  My next door neighbor in La,  said her daughter worked at  Banfield vet at a PetSmart and the  vet convinced a lady to have her dog's teeth cleaned and it died.  I think that seeing this show tonight added to the fact that I'm worried about having this done makes me think that I'm not going to do it.  If he has some other problem that has to be taken care of and he is put under for that, then they can clean his teeth.  Otherwise, not.  Years ago you never heard of dogs having their teeth cleaned. 

The weather has turned cooler and it's so wonderful.  We are going to do a little work in the yard even though it has gotten later in the day.  I know it probably won't last too long but it's so great while it's here. 

Ok, Here I go again.......
 
This Northfield day lily has been blooming for a few weeks. We were fortunate to receive it at Oakes Daylilies  last year when they had their open house It is much more yellow in person than it appears to be in this iphone photo.  Maybe I'll try a few photos with our regular camera.

Long time.......

     Haven't been here in a long time. 
     We sold the Dodge last fall.  At least the guy is working on it and will be driving the car.  We were rarely using it.  The last time out to Sonic, it had to come home on a wrecker.  By the time the Dodge was sold, it was (as my Dad would have said) "running like a sewing machine".  It was my Dad's first and only car bought brand new and he & my Mom drove it for many, many miles..  Part of me hated to give it up, but it has a new life now.

Remembering my Dad

Today is the date of my Dad's birthday. He has been gone just over 7 years. He always liked to mow the grass, so I mowed some today in his memory. My Mom was a good cook. Today I made stuffed peppers like she did. They were pretty good and I think she would have been proud.

My Happy Mother's Day

Today I had a really nice Mother's Day phone call from our daughter. We talked a long time and during the call I opened my great presents that she mailed to me. There was a sweet handmade card (forgot to put it in the pic) and she made me a beautiful necklace. I can knit with the lovely sock yarn and eat candy!

Later Hubby & I took a ride in the Dodge and we ate out again. I didn't have to cook at all today!

I have had a great Mother's Day and soon I'll get to see her when we go to TN for a visit! Yay!

A visitor came today and she left something.......

Today Hubby walked over by our shop and saw this little lady along side the building.


At first he thought she was stuck in the corner but then while taking pictures realized that no, that wasn't it at all.





She was covering up eggs that she had deposited.

This was how it looked after she left.
