My Day

Well it's 2:14 a.m. and Freddie's been having a restless night after his long day. He slept for a bit then woke whimpering and whining so hubby went off to the couch and I laid here massaging his hips until he fell back to sleep.  He has now curled up between my legs and is out like a light and Gloria is snoring on hubby's side of the bed now.

Note: You know your a blogger when you've not only got your laptop in bed, but your camera!

 I on the other hand am now awake so, what the heck, I may as well post about my day!

My daughter and granddaughter came over to have lunch with me today and we dug out all my boxes of Halloween decorations.  I have tons.  I used to decorate the house every year when the kids were growing up and we used to have Halloween parties. But now I just focus more on Christmas. So I am passing the hallowed torch on to my daughter. When we started going through the decorations, Emma (my granddaughter) was afraid of all the scary ones. Hmmmm....this is no good...it's Halloween, you've got to have some scary.  So after making skeletons dance, spiders into bling and witches shoes seem like the new fashion, she soon thought all that scary stuff was pretty neat and was pushing a giant rat around in a white wicker buggy. I didn't get a picture as we just wanted to let her do her thing and not draw attention to her.  Little did we know that she would actually grow an attachment to this said freaky rat and would not part with him when she left. 

So off she went.

With the freaky rat.

Or as she now calls it........Honey Bear.  Hey, somebody's got to love the freaky ones!

Once they left Freddie was in quite a mood.

When I came in the house he was coming down the hall with a baby doll.

"You're going to get in trouble Freddie."

"Nuh uh! I've got Momma wrapped around my paw right now. I just have to give her my sad look."

Freddie just has so much pent up energy that he needs to get out since he can't run and play any more.  I have been walking him a couple of times a day to wear him out a bit and keep his muscles in his legs built up, but sometimes that just isn't enough.  He will try to run through the house, but soon realizes his legs can't take that.

So he steals things.

"What? I'm building a house for the baby!"  

I find if I just walk away, he usually just stops and drops what he's got. Usually!

So, lunch was over, the Halloween torch was passed and Freddie had dropped the toys.  I took the hounds out back to go potty and when I walked out the door.....

This giant freakin' spider was hanging from the eaves trough and I screamed like a little girl!

So......how was your day?

Well, good night everyone. I'm off to the land of...........Pinterest! (Thought I was going to sleep, didn't ya!)

Fred In Motion

Sunday afternoon we got a snow storm. (Yay!) So yesterday morning we woke up to this.

Because Freddie goes berserk in the snow I thought I would show you all the many faces I see of Freddie Spaghetti as he runs towards me with the camera.  Bare with me, there are a few. These were all taken in sequence with my camera in Sport mode...and yes apparently my lens was dirty.

This is the point where I get the heck out of his way! So there you have it.  That's what Gloria and I see when Freaky Freddie runs at us.  Now you know why Gloria looks terrified half the time! (hee!hee!)
