Goooooooooooood Morning Chappell Hilllllllll....It's me again Margaret, Skinny Benny, hurtin merton, Krazy Cephus ! ! ! Been hurting so bad this past couple months, mind just draws a blank when I try to get on here. Then that coupled with the pain triggers the big D, and begats Dr Jekyl Mr Hyde syndrome, and round and round we go, "to the moon alice"..... The pain this time is from head to toe, like a toothache and earache combined, but all over. Feels like the third day of a new workout program, you know how that feels, hurts all over. Well, nuff about that. I'm forcing myself to work through it both mentally and physically.
Hey Pat, Im sure the pictures you describe are great, if I could find them. Well. the description you gave will suffice. You mentioned a "new rescue", well, I knew it was bound to happen sooner or later, we have a new rescue as well also too tambien! (hold on, coffee got cold so time for a refill). "Slurp" oh that is so good! !
Ok where was I? Oh yeah, our gnu rescue. Diane and I were on one of our walks down to the creek to open the gate when we heard what sounded like a cat crying or a baby crying. It were neither!
A little tiny small itsy bitsy baby puppy (hows that for redundancy) was tangled up in the brush in the creek and crying. Dunt da da DAAAA....I unfurled the ol red cape and lept, or is it leaped, into action. Well no matter, neither leapt nor lept, I calmly hurried, as fast as a hurtin old man can, and rescued our damsel in distress, and received a four paw hug and lick in the face. A man cant ask for any better thanks me thinks.
We took her to our vet and had her checked out, no tags, no microchip, so we had shots given, bathed, nails trimmed, defleaed and destinkafied, everything a cute girl needs at the spa. Turns out she was not a puppy as I had quickly surmised, she is a 3 year old beagle, very small beagle. After dealin with the likes of Cooper and Jack and Rocky and Dixie Belle, you could see where I might have wrongly identified the aforementioned rescuee as a puppy. Compared to all of the above, she sure looked like a puppy.
She'd been on her own for sometime, hungry and thin, flea infested etc. Also found out she's not house broken eyether! Found that out the hardway. She does walk easy on the leash, somewhat. The walkee doesnt pull, but has a tendency to wander from side to side and between the legs of the walker. Learnin a few new dance steps with ol Zippy.
That's what I call her, Zippy, or Scooter, or Hey You Dawg etc...I think Diane has settled on the name Ginny, or Jenny which is fine by me because I'll continue to call her whatever she answers to, Zippy, Scooter etc....Zippy pretty much describes her to a T because she is zippin around hither and yon, to and fro, hard to keep up with.
She's pretty much been accepted by the rest of the clan, except she hasnt met Little Miss, who stays in the back part of the house or the screened in porch, so the oportunity hasnt presented itself, yet.
She has met ol saber tooth catzilla, Annie-Bob head on so to speak and quickly learned who is boss. A gentle, no, it really was a loud "SMACK" on the nose and a very LOUD "what did I do" yelp. I think ol zip is a pretty smart dog, cause she steers clear of catzilla, wise puppy eh what!
April and May have been one very busy month for us....yeah, I caught that "one month" too. Seemed like one long 61 day month. Walked our grandaughter Lucy down the aisle in April in Galveston and my youngest son got remarried in May in surfside! What is it about the beach that everyone wants to get married there for crying out loud????? It's just sand and noisy water and screeching boids, so quit it ! ! ! !
Yesterday was our grandsons 25th boithday, and our other grandaughter Haley made the "Deans list" at A&M this past semester. She was so excited she texted a copy of the "list" to us. Oh big deal, I was always on the deans list, and at the top too. Just so happens it was his "not so nice list" , but deans list nonetheless!
Lucy, the grandaughter I so proudly walked down the aisle (I stiffled my limp for the moment) in April, has moved to Dallas with her Doctor husband. They will both be working at the same hospital and have a townhouse right across the street. How fine is that. What a wonderful couple they are! ! !
When Lucy applied for the Job, they hired her on the spot, "name your salary and hours" . Seems they got a call and glowing report from Lucy's last employer. Lucy didnt really need a reference, if you met her, youd hire her immediately to do anything, that's the affect her smile and eyes have on you.
Guess I'd better sign off for now, my fingers keep getting tangled up on the keeboard and my brain keeps smissspelling words, and not on purpose like I am want to do. At my peak I could hit 70 wpm with no mistakes, now its 70 mistakes per minuted...see what I'm talking about!
Keep the sun at your six and ride boldly ride...
your frien and skinny ol krazoid, Cephus R Me
