Praying Dog... 07/29/2010

I continue to observe this interesting
ritual behavior from Bear when he eats ... and I think he's praying before he digs in.

Hear me out on this one {before you imagine me in a straight jacket, K?}

He starts out by sitting in front of his full food bowl
{no eye contact is made}

Then he lays down in front of the bowl, front paws stretched out toward bowl
{head between legs on ground, staring intensely at the bowl}

Next, he sits back up
{continuing to stare at the bowl}

Finally, he sniffs the contents of the bowl
{nudging the food with the tip of his nose}


As long as no one has entered his space, eating now begins. 

If one of the kiddos {or I} breeze past him, he has to start all over again.

My Theory?

When he was a pup he used to eat his food so fast he would puke it all back up within minutes.

Now he’s 3 y/o & I think he’s begging praying to the gourmet food Gods to allow it to stay down each time. 

Or maybe he’s just OCD??

Great the cat needs prozac & the dog has ritual eating disorder ... I’m seeing a pattern here.
 


 
 
hubby's laundered money
There really is nothing I love more than all the machines in my house going at once

washer ... dryer ... dishwasher ... a/c

I appreciate living in modern times.

However, one of my biggest pet peeves ~ is when FireDude or the children don't check their pockets before a load goes in

{{aaaarrrrgggghhhhhhhhhh}}

Yeah, I know, I could "re-check" them.

Honestly, have you ever WANTED to stick your hands in the pockets of {adventurous} boys clothing?

Me neither.

In any case, I got paid for laundry today

FireDude {formerly known as DH} left the mother load behind in his pockets!! $11 ... woot-woot!!

Now that's what I call "laundered money" {heehee}

Till next time,

TOAM

As the phone has continued to ring this {Sunday} afternoon, I have continued to ignore it.

Not only am I working {well, sort of ~ does Twitter count?} but the other end of the line would reveal ...

 
Gut Instinct... 06/21/2010

I've always been one of those women who believes in listening to your gut instinct. {inner voice, 6th sense, weird feelings ~ call it what you like, it's all the same}.

I've recently realized that I'm not as anonymous as I'd like to be {here @ TOAM}.

So for those of you who know who I am {and those of you who had to search it out for your own curiousity} I'd appreciate your best Poker Face in the matter.

So, yes.

I confess.

I let my life take over lately.

    About

    As a Fireman's Wife, Mom,
    Entrepreneur & Woman I often come across things

    I'd like to share
    with others that have 
    NOTHING
    to do with my current career.

    ~
    When I'm sharing the love ... 
    you'll find reviews.
    ~
    I have a teenager, so sometimes you'll be amazed I can still locate my sense of humor.
    ~
    And I have the best group of girlfriends, so I'll post insights both helpful and ridiculous.
    ~
    I hope you enjoy & thanks for stoppin' by!


     


    On my wishlist:

    MacBook Pro 15"

    Romantic date w/DH

    A teenager immune to hormones

    Kids who do chores
    {w/out being asked}

     

    What my DVR is set
    to record these days:
