Gone 30 Years

                                                     I can hear her now,
                                                  CAROLINE KENNEDY,
                                          Why in the heck do you need 4 dogs?

                              So i'll quote Chris, who has said to me, a million times
                                       "BUT MOM THEY ARE GOOD DOGS"

Patience

                               
 You have to have patience, to have 4 dogs. Our dogs are so spoiled they require a lot of attention. It's not as much work, for multiple people, but for 1 person it's a little work.
Pete left over night for a bike race. Tom went out, Jake and Elvis spent the their time trying to bark them back

 This morning I woke at 5 am, to Elvis & Jake eating paper cups, a little later, it was the the garbage, Jake, ate some food and it's plastic, then he ate a foil snack from Pete's nightstand, Pete forgot to pack in his bag. Snapped at me for trying to get it, he does not like giving back his finds.  A little later he jumped in the pond to chase the turtle who was sunning on the rock, I chased him out, then he jumped in the tortoise enclosure to gulp tortoise poop, which he dropped  in the yard and they all feasted on, before I was able to get to them. They ran through the back screen door, hoping they'd find someone was out front, and there was no one. Jake ate grass threw up, I cleaned it up, the other dogs think thats treats for them,  he ate more grass threw up again , and it's not 11 am yet.
 Sigh
4 dogs is a lot of work.

They Are GOOD DOGS

Sleepy Betty

                                                       She is so pretty

She's my big girl, and she likes her sleep.

 She sleeps in my bed at my feet, she's been sleeping there for as long as I can remember. Use to be she'd curl up, and make herself seem small in my bed, but these days, she must figure that i'm gonna let her stay there, she gets pretty comfortable in my bed. This would be okay if I was 2 feet tall, and did not need any leg room, but I'm 5' 6" and need a little leg room.
               I've been having a little trouble sleeping lately.

this was taken 40 minutes after we went to bed
SHE'S A GOOD GIRL
