Yesterday was just one of those days. I'm sure you've all had them. I had a hard time getting going in the morning and then the "new " blogger format finally caught up to me and I didn't get a post done. My first thought when I sat down with my coffee and turned on my computer was "WTF"! I knew it was coming, I guess I just thought I'd have more time. So then I thought screw it and just wasn't in the mood to fiddle around trying to figure things out. I was also afraid to click on that "Get Started Now" button. So I just went and started doing some of my comments and as all of you know this takes quite a while so I usually span it out throughout the day. But then for some reason the comment form kept resetting after I'd typed my comment and I'd have to type it all over again. I finally said screw it, maybe I'll just go and make some chili to have while we watch the NFL Draft. The day was just windy, cold, rainy and dark and other than making chili, I got squat done! Even Fred and Gloria slept most of the day.
That meant their new toy from Magic was just cast aside with no one to play with. (Honestly I can't believe Fred hasn't chewed it to pieces yet!)
He went to the bedroom and tried to entice Gloria.......
But she was zonked.
So he headed out to the living room 'cause Freddie's always game.
Yes, our bed looks low because it is. We took our bed off the frame so it's lower for the hounds. We actually did this 13 years ago for Barney. (Geesh, the things we don't do for our babies!)
But he was just too bagged too!
Oh, Fred tried, but was just too tired.
I told Scruffy (that's what we named him) he should just hang out with Ole Blue. If you don't remember, Ole Blue is the first stuffie that we bought for Fred when he was a baby and it's the only one he has never wrecked and now Scruffy seems to be lasting too.
Old Blue just sits in Fred's crate waiting for someone to play with him. I just told Ole Blue and Scruffy to wait 'cause come Monday, there'll be new kids in town!
Oh, and yes, Fred and Gloria did get to share a cookie on Wednesday!
They are Lemon Ricotta Cookies with Lemon Glaze. Just click on the name if you want the recipe. :)
Have a great weekend everyone!
Oy, I'm not a fan of the new blogger format. Oh Fred, you and Zoe have something in common here.
ReplyDeleteoh'sam and buddy could come over and entertain the stuffies if they are bored!Hehe
ReplyDeleteperhaps fred and gloria would like to have a little "group-tuck-o-war"?
greetings anni,the foxbrothermomma
We have been having our share of problems getting used to the new format too! Happy Weekend!!
ReplyDeleteONe of those days...Try one of those years!! Oy. Our mommy is still in 2nd gear! Hey, send Sccruffy here and we'll give him a run for his money. bol. We have to say Gloria and Fred sure look comfy. Nice of you to munchkinize your bed for your best friends. Sure they appreciate it. Good weekend to you!
ReplyDeleteSmooches from pooches,
BabyRocketDog & Hootie
Poor Mr Old Blue, he looks so sad on his own... he can come and play with me and my stuffies if he likes... promise I won't be quite as rough with him as I was with David! He he he... Deccy x
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about the new format. And every time I try to reply to comments the whole thing goes wonky. I gave myself permission to avoid Blogger this week... just didn't need the frustration! I think Fred and Gloria had the right idea! ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, those cookies look delicious. And perfect after that kind of day. Ugh, the new blogger is just ridiculous and not intuitive at all. Blah!
ReplyDeleteScruffy & Ol Blue do look quite alike - at least they can hang out together when Fred & Gloria don't want to play. Horrible dark, wet weather here too so me and my sisters are snoozing on the sofa most of the day too - woofs and licks from Magic xx
ReplyDeleteI don't like the new change....I keep going back to the old one but now they say it is going to change forever....not fun! Looks like Fred and Gloria are resting up for the weekend! I bet those cookies were good....do you have any left....hint, hint....have a fun weekend!
ReplyDeleteThose cookies were worth the wait!
ReplyDeleteI can see that dogs too have those days! The weather really does affect everyone! Thanks for sending us YOUR weather! lol
Funny how some changes can just throw your whole day off. Sounds like you and the hounds needed the down time anyway. Chilli sounds good and the cookies look yummy!
ReplyDeleteI tried to lick the cookies butt it didn't work... sort of like the NEW and NOT IMPROVED blogger thingy. WHINE
ReplyDeleteKnow what you mean. UGH! Let me have a go at that stuffie, I will sink my teeth into it good! BOL.
ReplyDeleteLovies, Miss Mindy
Oh I am so glad I don't have to mess with the new blogger format, I can only imagine the words that would of been coming out of my mouth!
ReplyDeleteI watched the draft last night too and now I have a taste for chili!
Oh no one of those days. Well the cookies look really awesome!
ReplyDeleteI dunnos but seein' dat poor stuffie all alone makes me so sad and reminds me of dat song from Toy Story..."When She Loved Me"...but Fred is a boy and not a she...you gets my point though I hopes.
ReplyDeletehave fun on date night.
Puddles
LOL I want a dog that just lays around!!! My Fred was HYPER. A stuffie never had a chance to make it past 24 hours in this house!
ReplyDeleteTGIF
Oh dear, I hope Blogger won't come to me. I don't think I'm ready for those new changes.
ReplyDeleteThe new blogger form...gees I forgot that it had changed...been using it for so long...hiccups should go away...good luck!
ReplyDeleteGuess what?! I was switched over too and then read on another blog if you click on the little wheel in the top right corner you will go back to the old format FOR NOW...they are going to get rid of the old format eventually but for now you can buy yourself a little more time! They had switched me and I switched back. For now......
ReplyDeleteI MUST print that cookie recipe...OMG THEY LOOK SOOOOOOO GOOD!!!
We've had new blogger for a few days and I am still trying to get used to it! I keep forgetting to label my posts now that it's off to the right instead of directly under. Ugh!
ReplyDeleteHope the energy picks back up and you all have a great weekend!
Sorry you're having problems - that issue with the comment disappearing happens to me sometimes too, I'm so nervous now I often copy the comment just in case before it has chance to vanish!! :)
ReplyDeleteCan you please tell Freddie and Gloria that if they're too pooped to play with Scruffy I'm ready and waiting - I think he looks very playable and he sure looks lonely…. :)
Hope you're having a fun day :)
Your pal Snoopy :)
Yep, my assistant has lots of "those" days! We are slowly starting to get used to the new blogger.
ReplyDeleteYour pal, Pip
Yep we are not fond of the new blogger format either. That looks like our house the other day. I love their new toy. Have a great weekend. Sniffs, The HoundDogs
ReplyDeleteThe new blogger has made my mom mad! Why can't they just leave things alone! Grr!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I think lazy days are just what is needed!! BTW, the cookies looks so yummy!!
~Higgins
I'm kind of glad I switched to the new format when the option first came out, because now I don't have to struggle with the change! haha. I don't mind it now, it just took getting used to. I still can't believe Fred hasn't ripped Scruffy to bits! He must have a soft spot for them. And MMMMM, those cookies are my favourite!!!
ReplyDeleteChin up Scruffy, I know fun days are ahead of you. My MOM sits and waits in fear that the new blogger will find her. I keep telling her we should have gotten an unlisted address or something.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Goose
I hate the new blogger!
ReplyDeleteDachshund Nola
Scruffy looks like a nice new toy. Your mom is so nice to have a lower bed so you can get on it. My mom said when the time comes she will get me some stairs.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh, we've had those days too!! Hope you have an awesome weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteWoofs & huggies, <3
~Bailey (Yep, I'm a girl!)
Mama wants the old blogger back. Great shots of the dogs.
ReplyDeleteGood Lord you're a sports nut too....MY husband said yesterday was like Christmas....2 NHL playoff games AND the NFL draft - he was pig in you know what!
ReplyDeleteThe hounds look so cute just laying around.
Julie
Those cooking to so yummy! I'm sorry Blogger was being a pain. For some odd reason, Wordpress was acting up for me a few days ago as well. =b
ReplyDeleteThose cookies do look tasty. Way to calm the computer blues
ReplyDeleteurban hounds
Those cookies look delicious--I'm going to have to bake them soon. I've heard a lot of complaints about the new blogger format; it makes me happy to be on Wordpress. I hope things adjust soon though, and that you can get some rest like your bassets. They look so sweet!
ReplyDeleteIn case no one said, you can go to 'settings'(the little gear shift in upper right corner) and you can click on 'old Blogger format' to go back if you want to.
ReplyDeleteJust thought I'd let you know.
Must be a sleepy kind of day. Our dogs were pretty quiet for most of the day too. :)
Oh Dog! Ya mean I missed a cookie? I'm slipping!
ReplyDeleteWe've never had cookies over here. Those look delish!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day...
pawhugs Max...
Hint from HH.... When doing comments, she has started highlighting all the text of the comment and then clicking Control C (or command C on a Mac) to copy it all. That way if you lose the comment when you try to post it, you can put your cursor in the empty comment box and push Control V (or command V on a Mac) and paste it there... voila.... no retyping:0)
Looks like a lazy day for everyone! :)
ReplyDeleteWe love the lowered down bed
Slobbers
Those cookies look so good! Here's hoping that the new changes to Blogger aren't too hard to adjust to. I don't like to learn new things...especially if they're not fun!
