I'm sitting here after a long day at work. We're remodeling a bathroom and creating a "Home and Garden" style bathroom complete with a jacuzzi tub, full tiled shower, and granite counter-tops. We are at the demo stage of the job right now. It's looking a mess, I know, but we've done so many of these I can see the end picture. Here are a few pictures from today:
I'm sitting here enjoying a Latte with a splash of amaretto for extra warmth... oh so good! I've got my IPOD playing - I got it second hand and preloaded with a ton of songs I really like. It's kinda full of an eclectic mix - Brooks and Dunn, Flo Rida, Metallica, Gorrillaz, Tantric, Beatles, Led Zepplin, Ra... things I love and many songs I've never heard before. I really must recommend that if you don't have an IPOD, get one and load it with everything you listen to. Before I got one I didn't understand it much, but now I always seem to have it handy.
Happy Tuesday Everyone!

I know this sounds and maybe looks a little silly, but I took this picture on the highway in California. The look of the woman and the grafitti and the shadow.. I just thought this was cool (it's not something I see in Lower Slower Delaware...

Well, I've had a lot of pets from cats to lizards to dogs and wolves to cows and horses to Parrots and ferrets. It's a VERY difficult thing to choose only one!
I can, however, tell you one of my least favorite... cows. Cows are nothing more than 500 pound wrecking balls that are always dirty and stampede and break everything. I do mean everything. We sold our lovely cows to a local butcher - my family wouldn't eat beef for 2 years after that. Every time we went to a steak house we all got chicken cause someone would make the comment, "This could be Daisy." *sigh* Good thing we all got over that!
Ok, so back to my favorite animal... I guess my favorite would be Woofy, my timber wolf.
Woofy is my favorite because no one snuggles better or makes you feel better when you are low. He always looks at you like he totally gets it - "I understand Nina." Woofy is a bit of a moron though. When let to run free, he runs with wild, unstoppable instinct. In the house, he's perfect. I do yell at him to get out of my kitchen when I'm cooking (more for his safety) and he'll back-up to the threshold and lay there with one paw defiantly in the kitchen watching me cook, waiting for me to throw him the random cooled off taste test. At night, he always beats me to my landing spot... it's like he knows whether I'm going to chill on the couch or go to bed. And when I get up in the morning, after his morning walk, after I make the bed and get ready for work, I walk back by and find that bum on my bed, head on the pillow, looking at me like, "Just leave me here I promise I'll be right here when you get home" FYI I fell for that once... the garbae did not survive a bored wolf.
When we got him there were 7 or 8 other pups to choose from. Woofy stood out because at 4 weeks old he marched up to his father and started stuff. LOL He just walked right up and bit him in the leg - "I can take you" His dad of course put him in his place, but you could see the alpha-male in Woofy right away. It's crazy, I know, the alpha-males are supposed to be the hardest to deal with - but that's what we wanted.
As he grew up we had to teach him when it was time to rough-house and when it was time to be calm. He had a bit of an issue with it at first, but now, it doesn't take much to go from a quiet moment to a roll around romp. Despite what anyone might say, wolves need that and you better be able to play hard. Woofy kinda cheats sometimes by getting a hold of the back of my jeans and dragging me around a bit, kicking and screaming (sheer glee, not scared being killed screaming) of course it helps him when the guys in the house jump in and help Woofy attack - It's a family affair LMAO.
Well, it's off to work for me. Oh, I almost forgot I need to put some pictures here!
I actually thought I had more, hmm I will have to take some better pictures this afternoon and post them here!
