It is a dark and frigid day here:(.
Ken's story reminded me that Dagny threw up on the doggy cot that is in her crate yesterday and Rob took it outside to hose it off. When I took Dagny out this morning the cot was just sitting in the snow still full of vomit!! Then I remember that Rob was called into work yesterday and it must have been when he was cleaning it. Now it is all frozen :( yuck!!!

Yeah he was. I want to try that on my torts. This way I don't have to worry about losing one. I frequent this Cyprus trees park near my house. And, when I let my babies go, they all go in different directions. The two larger ones are easy to track, but Baby Runt is just too tiny still. I can easily lose him in the grass. With the balloon, I'll always be able to track him.

I lost Beasty Boy in that park when he was about 5 months, and I started to cry. I found him 5 minutes later, but it definitely taught me a lesson: never take your eyes off your torts for even a second. Btw, I was visiting a friend today, and some man came over to the car I was in, opened the driver's side door, and asked if we has seen his two kids. He looked frantic, probably thinking someone had abducted his kids. I felt sorry for him as we watched him walk down the street.

If I can't find one if the russians in their outdoor yard in the evening, I don't stress too much because I know they can't get out and the overnight lows won't hurt them. But nay nay on the sulcatas. They're in before sundown no matter what.

You're in Florida right? You have a carry law their. Me, last car door he would have opened. No police involved in finding his kids? Odd that.

Honestly you would have shot him for just opening your door? Not that I think he should have opened the door, but seems shooting him would have been a bit of over kill. As for the police, perhaps he has just lost them and is doing the first step of looking before involving police without need. I know I would do a look around before I would ever call the cops.

I live in the sticks. When we go to town, we make the joke of, “lock the doors, we're in town!".

I live in the sticks, too. I am also I think the only person in town who locks the house when not at home. Of course it would take an idiot to break in with all the dogs. I never have my car doors locked, except when it's parked in town.

It's weird that you would open up someone's car door. Why couldn't he just knock and look in?
I am so glad I am home. :) I get to sleep and relax tonight.

Yeah...if some unknown guy reached for my door handle and I knew it was unlocked, I would have bailed out so fast I would have been a blur.

Jacqui: I went to CVS (local pharmacy) this a.m. and they had both Tea Tree Oil and that other thing that was mentioned. I bought them both to try.

I'm afraid my first thought was, "Hey, little girl. Will you help me find my puppy?"

When I was at WalMart getting my script filled, I saw the other one, but not the tree oil. I decided to hold off on buying either one til I see the "specialist" and see what she does. From what today's dermo Dr said, it will be the shots pretty much for sure. Perhpas even the "raygun". :D He gave me a script for Clobetasol Propionate to use on the worse areas. I am guessing he is thinking I am going to use a bunch of it, because the Pharmacist acted like getting as much as I was getting at one time was unheard of (and I can refill). They didn't even have more then one tube on hand. I see the Dr on Wed, so we shall see.

I was looking for an action figure of a different sort for Jacqui so she could replace the little green man, and I found this one, but I really don't have an application for it. But I like it:
