More heated discussion

ha! Should say more hot discussion. I can't stop talking about the weather. It was 41 here today. This heatwave has lasted all week. I'm completely over it. At the moment the evening has cooled down outside but it's hot as hell in here still. I jokingly said to Mike we should camp outside in the backyard last night, he nearly took me up on the offer.

I'm off on a fabulous girls weekend this weekend ... to a house with air conditioning! hahaha No no, that's not the only reason. My old workmates are having a girls overnight get together, and we're going to learn beading, before the drinking starts! To be honest I couldn't give two hoots about learning how to bead, but it's more to get together with these girls who have meant so much to me over the years.

Mike is taking Lucky to his first obedience class on Sunday. I won't make it back in time but will be there for the rest of the sessions. Lucky was a show dog (well, for all of his young months anyway) so he knows how to stand proudly and all, and now he sits nicely for us, but as for coming and dropping, etc. sometimes I swear he doesn't know his own name. So we're all going to learn together.

One of the photos I took over the weekend of my sister-in-law's birthday, we were struck by how grey Mike was looking, although he will deny it till the cows come home. I couldn't resist doing a page. He of course is absolutely insulted by it but all he said was ... "I don't like the set out, I don't like the colours you've used, what's these papery bits on it, I don't like this or that". He said absolutely nothing about the photo! See, denial is the key isn't it?

Well that's it from me, over and out.

I ... am ... melting

I do not *do* hot weather very well. Oh sure I like nice warm days. I like feeling the sun on my skin. But the scorchers we are having at the moment defies description for me. No energy. No thinking clearly. We don't have an AC here in the house either. Oh I should refrain. We do have an AC, but you have to sit right slap bang underneath it and wear ear muffs because it's so loud. Every year we say "we must do something about that". And every summer rolls around and we haven't. This year it's on the list, not just a verbal thought floating in the air. I can't stand this heat.

It got to 42.8 C here today, that's 109 F in imperial temperatures. Just so not on in my book.

I went and dragged a chair out into the middle of the backyard before and sat in the dark and tried to soak in what little breeze there was. That was fine until I got attacked by mozzies. I just couldn't win!

So this is a quick posting, it's too hot in here.

I had a lovely surprise yesterday. I got a very nice email from Gwen of Scrappy Angel Quilts. She has just had her 2nd anniversary of blogging. I like to stop in on her blog, I think I originally found it because of her beautiful quilting, now she's knitting and I'm admiring that. If she starts digi scrapping, well I'll be in heaven! hahaha Anyway back to Gwen, she has thanked me for my regular reading of her blog and is sending me some of her delicious sock wool that she hand dyes. Wow! Thank you again Gwen. What a lovely thing to do.

So before I go, shall show you a fun page I did recently of my father-in-law. He was trying number one step-son's motorbike on for size. Doesn't he look big bad and mean huh? Big bikie with his shirt and tie on. hahahahahaha Gosh I love my father-in-law, he's such a great sport.

And with that I'm about to go jump into a cold shower, run around in it, jump out and go to bed. And obviously lie there in a puddle of sweat not being able to sleep. Urrrgh.

Happy Australia Day

However you are spending it, it's gorgeous weather, I hope you are out and about enjoying it. We wandered down to the Village Green and chatted to friends, stopped in at a cafe and enjoyed a cappucino on the way home, it was lovely.

I think we are the only house in the street with a flag pole, it's attached to the shed. It doesn't always have the Aussie flag flying, sometimes Mike puts up the Scottish one or the Lion Rampant (I think it's called), at Christmas we have a Santa one flying. I reckon as long as I don't come home and see a Scull & Crossbones up there, I'll be right, ha!

I'm still plodding along with Project 365. I've become like the papparazi, I never leave home without the camera. Heck, I even took a photo of our cappucino earlier at the cafe. I'm sure people were wondering why? But it's fun, it's making me look at every day things in another way. I think this will be a treasure to look back on.

That's it from me, over and out, I'm off to enjoy the rest of my lovely Monday off work!

It was a hit !

Saturday was a hit, the book for my sister-in-law was a hit, it was a fabulous day. I can let you in on a little secret now. She was having a surprise party. What a hoot. She had absolutely no idea. She knew that we were coming down for a BBQ lunch at her dad's and we had three of the kids with us. She knew about that. What she didn't know was that evening a surprise party was planned.

We supposedly "left" to go home around 4pm but we just did some odds and ends in town. She was going out for dinner with her husband and then home to get changed before going to a Naturalisation party for one of her friends. Her friends had gone to such lengths even sending out fake invitations to this Naturalisation party in aid of the upcoming Australia Day. We headed back around 7pm to her house where her friends had moved in and decorated after she'd gone to dinner. It was completely a synchronised watches type of evening.

When she came back to the house (mind you, she lives in a court and no one was parked in the court, everyone was parked in adjacent streets) she had no idea. Walked in and SURPRISE!!!! What lovely friends she has to do this and what a lovely husband. She's had just as shitty a year as I have in that she lost her mum last year. So this was a lovely bright spot to start 2009 with.

Here's a picture of her during the day opening her Shutterfly book. You think she liked it? I know she did.

Calling all digi-scrappers. Head over to creashens blog to wish her a happy birthday, pick up a fabulous freebie, and have a chance to be a guest member on her creative team. Shen is an amazing designer and a lot of fun to boot and it's sooooooo easy do do pretty pages with her goodies. So you've got to be in it to win it, so get scrapping. Oh and not only that, but she still has 35% off her goodies until Sunday.

Now finally, Sharon has a new Simple Set out, visit twolittlepixels and check it out. This whole format is appealing to me at the moment, particularly with the 365 pages springing up everywhere. I'm lucky enough to be given some cute as a button photographs of my dear friend Tanya's beautiful daughter so I can scrap with them. How lucky am I? Win-win for each of us. I get to use twolittlepixels pretties to make a page with, Tanya gets the page.

Australia Day tomorrow, so however you are planning to spend it, make it a good one. We are planning to go to the entertainment in the Village Square here in town, partake in the sausage sizzle, and just generally enjoy the music and entertainment.

Proof !

Proof that they've been in the same room together. It was quite cute actually, Bo popped up onto the dining chair and Lucky sat watching her for quite some time, disappeared outside, bought the ball back in and dropped it at the chair and then sat back and watched her. An offering? Who knows. Then decided, well heck if you're not going to play with it, I will gnaw on it! They even both come into the kitchen while I'm getting breakfast ready for them too, both sitting almost side by side. I won't say it's peace at last but it's (almost) peace at last.

See Polly, here are those absolute horrible dining chairs I was talking about. I trumped you on it, didn't I? hahahaha

And the book, oh I love it, I know my sister-in-law will too. We'll be giving it to her tomorrow. Here's some snaps of it.

Shall report back on the reaction !!!

It's here !!!

YAY. The book has arrived. We will have a gift for my sister-in-law when we see her on the weekend after all. And it's beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. I do think she may cry. I'm over the moon happy. Pictures will be forthcoming. Obviously it will appear in my next 365 page! ha

So there's a thief in our midst. Shocking in this small town of ours, but true. I went to put my sandals on for work yesterday and one had disappeared, later found on our front lawn under a bush. MY GOOD SANDALS !!!! I just saw Lucky hightail it out the door just before with one of my high heels. Ack! Looks like there will be no more of the throwing the shoes under the bed. It's become a game with him to fetch, retrieve and hide, little devil.

Mind you he doesn't go anywhere near Mike's steel capped work boots, 'nuff said!

I haven't showed you this first page I made of the little boy. This face just melts my heart.

Credits here.

Well that's it from me. It will be another fan night tonight, it's rather warm here at the moment. I'm getting my elbow nudged big time to my left from Molly so I think she wants to go out. Bye!

Count down is on

Only 4 days of post to go. I do hope I get my sister-in-law's book back in time. Cross fingers!!!! I have given Mike strict instructions to ring me as soon as it arrives so I can stop worrying. It won't be the same to give her an "IOU present". It left USA on 9th January so surely not much longer. ~~fret fret~~

Another hot day here today. The house is stifling at the moment, once nightfall hit it was cooler out than in. I have all the windows wide open trying to let the slightest breeze in. Mike has settled down in the loungeroom in front of the fan. He's bunkered down to watch the first of 5 episodes of Roots on Fox Classics I think it is. It's on all week. Looks like I'll be scrapping or sewing cause I'm not overly interested.

I thought I'd share with you two special pages that will take pride of place in my sister-in-law's book. Lucky she doesn't read or even know of this blog! I really love this double spread I did.

Credits here.

I'm in desperate need of some chocolate right now, I have a massive craving. I may have to just settle for a hot chocolate because I have absolutely no chocolate in the house otherwise. I suppose it's safer that way!

Big turning point

I swear you're going to get sick of hearing about the Molly - Lucky - Bo menagerie saga! Late last night after we came home from a party (more about that later), we sat in the loungeroom having a coffee. Molly lay at out feet in her usual possie, Lucky jumped up and lay between us. And lo and behold Bo came walking in, jumped up on the coffee table, walked up Mike's legs (naturally he had his feet on the coffee table ~~rolled eyes~~) and sat on the arm of the couch. We didn't dare breathe to break the magic spell.

It was terrific, and just as we've been hoping for. This is what we want, Bo was here first and she needs to be able to have the run of the house and not just retreat to her safe areas. Lucky was fine, he was more interested in snuggling on the couch than chasing the cat.

Chalk that one up on the blackboard if you will !

The party, oh it was lovely. The 65th birthday of a friend of ours from town, the mother of one of Mike's best mates. The ruse to get her there was that she thought she was going out for Chinese in the next town, so had gotten dressed up. The twist was that she was making the cake for a party in town that had hired out the supper room of the local hall. See, she makes brilliant chocolate mud cakes and is often called on to make them for special occasions. So the idea was that she would deliver the cake to the hall on the way out to Chinese.

How funny when she walked in. SURPRISE! She was surprised because the first thing out of her mouth was "Oh my God! I've made my own bloody birthday cake!!!" hahahaha. It was brilliant.

So we're moving right along with Project 365 and I've done the next page which depicts the week just gone. Here tis!

I'm really enjoying this project and looking at things in different ways. How lucky I was to snap that sunset huh? I might have to get it framed for the wall. We're lucky to get lovely sunsets, just a short drive up the road to get a clear vista like that. Oh and Lynne, will that do for a sock photo?? I hope so. It's nice to have a stash of socks that you can give as gifts and know they are truly appreciated.

As for my husband's lawn mowing attire ... NO COMMENT! ha!

I did it!

Thanks for the advice but I found the instructions on Chookyblue's blog thanks to Tracey I went looking and now I believe it's working, if I make a comment on a blog it will link back to an email address. So I'm not so mysterious after all!

We had a near disaster this morning. I was getting ready for work, Lucky had gone outside and was playing around with Molly, I was about to get their breakfast ready and I hear the most heartwrenching half barking, half squealing, half crying. I don't think I'll ever get that sound out of my head. I raced out the back and Mike sprang out of bed as he'd heard it too, we were worried a big dog had jumped our fence and was attacking Lucky.

He had climbed up on our garden chair via Molly's outside bed and obviously had gone to jump off it but had gotten one foot caught in the gap in the slats of timber and he was half hanging off the chair and struggling and crying, Molly was looking on anxiously. I just got to him as he got himself free but the poor little darling was in a bit of shock I think and I grabbed him up and brought him inside. We were checking his leg for a break or tear or bleeding but nothing, he let us feel all over without a whimper so we were satisfied there was no damage to the bone. And of course I was all over him, hugging him and petting him and giving him some treats, anything to make him feel better.

He was very quiet for a while, limping everywhere, my heart just bled for him, he looked so sad. I fed him and he ate that, then he wanted to go outside so I watched him out there limping around looking very sorrowful. I had to go back inside to get ready for work and he disappeared around the corner of the house. Something about it made me sneak back outside and follow him round the corner and lo and behold the little terror wasn't limping at all. But the minute he looked up and saw me, he started limping again.

HA ! Sprung Mr. Lucky. I have no doubt he was shaken and maybe had wrenched his leg, perhaps a bit of bruising, but my fault entirely because of the way I over-reacted with him. He wanted some more loving. But you know it was at that precise moment when I grabbed him up in my arms and brought him inside and he looked up at me I knew I loved him. I must admit, as much as I've liked him, I haven't felt the same way about him as I obviously do Molly. But in that instant it changed and I loved him with all my heart, the same way as I have always loved Molly and Bo. Animals have an affect like that on people don't they?

Oh and once he realised Mike wasn't falling for any more of the limping, he just stopped it completely. And he was bouncing round all over the place when I came home from work tonight.

Thought I'd show this page tonight. I'm no gardener, no way. I can never understand the people who love to spend the entire weekend pottering away with dirt under their fingernails, but not I. The feeling of dirt under my nails squicks me out anyway. But then I could spend all weekend knitting or scrapping or quilting, so each to their own right?

But just over a year ago my father-in-law struck a whole stack of hydrangeas which we duly planted. Many died, obviously planted in the wrong spot, but all the ones out our back door into the patio grew. We have a sliding glass back door so we look out onto a row of pink at the moment. It's absolutely lovely.

Well obviously Molly thought it was lovely enough to sit in and squish one of the plants down entirely. I guess she was cultivating her horticultural side. haha

Help !!

Okay I need help, how do I make it that I can put an email (instead of no-reply) when I comment on people, so they can email me? I have no idea. I'm off to check other blogs to see if anyone else has how to do it. I've clicked every darn button Tracey, but I can't find it ! Ack!

Almost there, last day of the week tomorrow, whiz, where has it gone? I must admit that Project 365 has dominated my thoughts. Thoughts of photography, scrapping, what photos I want to pick to show at the end of the week, how I portray the week we've just had. It's such a fun project.

We went for a drive after dinner the other night, that very hot day we had recently. Decided to wind the windows right down and drive up the highway for a bit. I had told Mike I wanted to take some photos for the Project. He said he'd come for the ride, he wouldn't get in the way, just nice to go for a drive with the wind blowing in the car.

EXCEPT ... I spotted a nice area to take a sunset picture and he wanted to have a go, he wanted to take a few shots, and I couldn't get the camera back off him. I sulked (for only a bit). Hey this was MY project, this was MY idea to get out after dinner and take some shots around town and the sunset was slowly disappearing. After a very quick sulk, I was actually quite happy that he's excited about it too and it was nice to see what I was seeing through his eyes too. No one ever looks at something quite the same huh? Now I look at the photos and I can't remember which photos I took and which he took. No matter, it's OUR year I'm documenting.

Onto the scrapping front. Creashens and fei fei's stuff have a fabulous new collaboration kit going called Fortunate. It's absolutely beautiful. The papers and elements are just divine. It's available at Catscrap and Oscraps, so do yourself a favour. I've used Fortunate here, a pic of Lucky and Molly. Molly has decided to mother Lucky now, I think they're both in love.

Still talking about scrapping, one of the fabulous new designers at twolittlepixels Click Photo Lien, has a contest happening on her blog, check it out HERE. She has a very nice freebie going there and wants to see what you can do with it. You've got to the 21st and the prize is one of her kits and let me tell you, they are BEE-YOU-TI-FUL !!! So go to it.

So tomorrow the girls I work with are going out for lunch. I looooove going out for lunch. What a nice way to end the week.

Anxiously waiting !

I'm anxiously awaiting dinner right now. Mike is cooking, YAY! That's a big plus. Every now and then he'll surprise me and say "I'll cook tonight", but he doesn't tell me that till I get home from work ... AFTER I've gone to the supermarket, AFTER I've waited forever in line, AFTER I've rushed back to the car to drive the 45 mins home. I've told him if he's going to cook dinner he needs to get me excited about it in the afternoon before I leave work, send me a text, let me know, so I don't have to go to the supermarket, one of my least favourite things to do when I've finished a long day at work.

So there's t-bone steak and salad in the offering tonight. I can't wait.

So I haven't featured my little girl for a while. She's getting braver. The nose rubs from the other side of the baby gate are with more regularity, but still on either/or side of the gate. We're getting there.

I was lucky enough (right time right place) to snap this shot of her. She was in the neighbour's yard sneaking a peek at Lucky out the back playing through a gap in the fence.

Credits here.

So what a relief today, a cool change came through after such a hellish night. We slept without even the sheets on and the fan all night. It's the first time I've come home from work and there's not been a rousing welcome to me from Molly and Lucky. Molly just lifted her head from her cool spot in the carport and ignored me and Lucky did come down to the front gate and then just walked back with me, no frantic jumping and excited to see me. I don't blame them. It was a horrid day for animals.

Well I better go see how this dinner of mine is coming along. I'm looking forward to it.

Project 365 - week two

Just playing catch up here. Week 2 of Project 365. Poor Mike, he will be the butt of some of my photos. Don't you just love the last picture? That will teach him for sleeping in! hahaha It will be fun looking at the pictures when they're all in an album at the end of the year.

Gosh there's some great 365 projects appearing in the galleries. I'm feeling like a real sticky nose. I can't wait to read what some of the ladies are up to next, what their week has contained. In a discussion recently I likened it to taking a walk after dinner, it's dusk, the lights are going on in the houses but the people haven't drawn their blinds yet and you can see in. It's a real peek into people's lives. And as has been pointed out to me, the mundane things that we take for granted, will be so great in years to come to look back on. Our mod cons that we can't live without will be old and ancient. You do wonder what the future holds.

Credits here.

So tomorrow the weather forecast is for hot hot hot. Poor Molly, it's really taken it's told on her today. Right now she's plonked herself in front of the fan. I despair of her tomorrow. I've already made beefy iceblocks in the freezer ready as a nice cold treat for the pair. Thank heavens I'm in a nice air conditioned office.

I've started sewing my step-daughter's quilt together. I had bought a kit, fabric included, for this quilt. It's one of those funky-eclectic-anything-goes-retro kind of quilt. I couldn't put these prints together in a pink fit. I liked the materials when I bought the kit. Once I opened it and laid the fabrics out I had serious doubts. Now that I'm putting it together I'm liking it again. I'm never satisfied. The proof will be in the pudding when it's done.

Nothing else to report. Over and out.

Project 365

I can't believe it but I'm on the bandwagon! I wasn't going to, I was just going to enjoy looking at other people's photographs and pages and have a sneak peek into their lives. But I've been swept up into it!

For those who are living on another planet and haven't heard (LOL) Project 365 is quite an undertaking but well worth it. Have you ever thought you get to the end of the year and think, heck the year has just gone by in an instant? Your life is starting to flash before your eyes? Where did the year go? What did I achieve? All those kinds of thoughts. Yes? You're with me? I say it every year. Well Project 365 is that you take a photograph every day. At the end of the year you have a visual account of the year, how you spent it, something for every single day from the mundane to the exciting, from the serious to the ridiculous. It's also a great way to improve photographic skills.

Digi scrapbookers however take it another step and journal about the year. It's a diary really isn't it? We decided after such a sh!tty 2007 and 2008 with friends and relatives passing away, going through all the grief and the subsequent healing, that 2009 was going to be a good year, a new leaf, a positive year. It was so cleansing to be able to rip that old calendar down off the wall and open up a new one. A new year full of possibilities and excitement and achievements.

Inspired by the last pages I displayed, I've decided to go with simple kraft paper, a few embellishments, each double page will have a different background colour, but always with the tan kraft paper to keep the book cohesive. And I'm putting it out here so I'm committed now. I can't decide it's too hard. I'm going to keep on going.

Credits here.

Back to the sewing machine I go. I'm deep into sewing the top of my step-daughter's quilt. It's quite a bizarre mix of material patterns, hopefully the end result will be funky which is what I'm aiming for. I'm looking at it at the moment and am having a few doubts, it's looking like a bit of a mish mash, but I shall persevere.

Oh and there's a bath in Lucky's future today. At least bathing a little dog is not the drenching experience that bathing Molly is.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Thought I'd run off with the 1.3 did you?

te he, I haven't had a chance to update this week, did you think I'd won the 1.3 mill in lotto? Yeah right!

What a week. Big week at work. So glad it's over.

Big week here at home. Much progress on the menagerie. Molly I think now is mothering Lucky and he's lapping up the attention. It's nice to watch. Oh they tussel, yes they do, but in a fun nice way, a motherly way she treats him now, keeping a watchful eye on him.

Bo still is keeping her distance but two mornings ago I was getting read for work and I hear a kerthunk and she'd jumped off the spare bed where she's taken to sleeping on her rug, rather than in her basket on the floor now. I thought OMG it's going to be on, Lucky was in the passage way, I was on the other side of the baby gate which goes into the bath/toilet/laundry areas. (Yes! We had to install a baby gate, sheesh!) But to my utter amazement Lucky just sat, Bo came out of the spare room, walked up the passageway in front of him, not 10cm away and walked through the gap in the gate that only she can get through and he can't. Of course he did a bit of butt sniffing on Bo's way through, hahahahaha But no barking, no chasing, no excitement. I had to pinch myself to work out if I was sleep walking. She hasn't done it since, but we're getting there right? That was a huge step.

Oh and a big purchase. But it's on order. I'll keep you in suspense until it comes in. Ahhh see that's the perils of living in a small town, you can't get exactly what you want when you want it. Even in the next biggest town. I won't say any more till it's in my hot little hands. Although I think Jodie might hazard a guess if she tries hard enough!!

And the last big thing this week, my sister-in-law's book has been finished, has been sent away only yesterday and I got the email tonight to say the book is finished and it's winging its way back to me. What service from the amazing Shutterfly. I can't wait to give it to my sister-in-law, I'm sure she'll love it.

Loving this double page I put in the book. A visit from the family up to our place during December, actually for Mike's birthday, gave me a perfect photo opportunity. Oh how I love these kids, my niece and nephew, what characters they are. Love the out takes page.

Credits here.

Lynn had asked for a pic of the socks I gave my friend for her 50th. Heck, you know they were a pair I made during the year last year and I know I took a pic of them when I finished and I can't for the life of me find the photo. I will continue to look though.

Oh and I don't know whether I've shared this or not but I'm doing Tony Ferguson, I started back in November. For those not in the know, Tony Ferguson is a pharmacist who has developed a diet, and it's working! It's hard because it's low carbs and I do so love my bread, potatoes, rice, pasta, and they are ruled out. But the fact it's working is still spurring me on. As of tonight's weigh in I have lost 8.2 kg. That's 18 pounds to my American friends. And I'm feeling great!

Right oh! Time for bed I'm thinking. I have a weekend stretched out ahead of me and nothing much planned except coffee with friends tomorrow. Love these types of weekends. Have a good one everyone!

Weekend over - back to work

:-( That's my sad face. I love being off work. If only I could work out a way to stay home and get paid to scrapbook and knit and quilt. te he. If only it was that easy. Oh I know, I still haven't checked our lotto ticket for Saturday night, I wonder if we had one of the 1.3 million dollar prizes. We can only dream right?

I have done a few more pages for my sister-in-law's birthday book, just more pics of the kids. Shall share one I did with hubby with his nephew. I did some cool swirly thing with the background. Don't ask me how I did it, I couldn't repeat it if I tried! ha But it worked, it was such a busy background and I like the effect. Such a funny fellow my nephew is. I was almost going to write a disclaimer as to how this photo came about. He was egging his Uncle Michael on and on and on and the last comment I heard before he was picked up and I snapped this photo coming toward me was ... "Uncle Michael, can you flush my head down the toilet" hahahahaha. Thought perhaps my sister-in-law really doesn't need to know that, right?

PS : I do not like my husband with a beard. Ick.

There will be some sewing to show very shortly. New year, and I thought I better get cracking on my step-daughter's quilt. She'll be getting a quilt for her 18th birthday in May. I'm measuring twice and cutting once. So far no mistakes. Or not that I've noticed yet, I haven't started sewing.

And on the knitting front my friend from up the road who I go to water aerobics with, turned 50 today and I gave her a pair of my socks. I made a little wrap around label which said "A hug for your feet" !! She loved them.

Okay, off to check the lotto ticket.

Last Christmas pages

Okay okay I know it's the start of the new year, and I promise these are the last Christmas pages. I'm putting some pages together to add to some already done as my sister-in-law is 40 at the end of this month and I'll be getting a book printed for her, mainly of her kids and family. It won't be a huge book, but I know she loved the one I did for my mother-in-law so she'll have one of her own. It really makes such a personal present doesn't it?

So anyway I have put together a double page of how we spent our Christmas Day with her family.

Credits here.

Mike is camping at the moment and yay! or I should say EUREKA !! He's found some gold. Usually when he finds gold he puts it on his hand, takes a photo with his mobile phone camera and sends it to me to see. I get excited because it looks huge and then when I see it up close when he gets home it's only a mere speck. But this time it's the biggest bit he's found. Still not big by anyone's standard but it's double the size of his biggest one found to date, so he's over the moon happy.

So peace is reigning supreme here at the moment. Lucky is in his bed, Molly is laying next to him, I think she's taking on a bit of a mothering role, it's like complete dog psychology watching the two of them, it entertains me no end. Bo is sleeping on a rug on the spare bed with the door jammed so that only she can get in and out, but Lucky can't fit. I expect she still sleeps with one eye open and one eye closed, but I think things are getting better. I probably am just saying it, you know, the more I say it the more I believe it. But she keeps coming back, coming in for food, having snuggles with me as long as Lucky isn't around.

This is my only anxious part about the whole Lucky adopting our family, oh did I say that? I mean us adopting Lucky, te he! I don't care if they don't get on, if they maintain a distance of each other, but I don't want Bo too scared to be able to sit in the same room as Lucky. She doesn't care two hoots about Molly. I want her to be like that with Lucky as well. Am I expecting too much?

Well I'm off to bed. Nighty night!
