it's raining, it's pouring, eevee is barking like her crate is on fire

ugh! once again, eevee woke me up at 145 , barking like her cage was burning down. good lord. know what was wrong? not what i thought. i thought she had to pee. so i of course tried to ignore her at first--- like any neglectful mother does -- but that didn't last long. i got up and went to put her outside... i open the door -- and what do 'we' see? rain, lightening, then... a crash of thunder! surely i've mentioned she is terribly afraid of thunder? don't ask me why. she was like that when we got got her. in fact, i have since nicknamed her 'thundercat'. as big as she is , she climbs on me and sits in my lap-- if i let her-- when it thunders. i've never seen an animal so afraid of thunder. it's actually sad. she literally has panic attacks. it has to be from something the 'bad adoptive family before us' did to her. firecrackers? guns? i do not know.
what i do know, is that part of shutzund training.. the type she went through before the bad family--- gunshots-- or most likely 'starter guns' are a big part of the training. if a dog is what they call 'gun-shy, they can't train. obviously, her being this afraid of thunder-- she would definitely be gun-shy as well.

so anyhow-- i don't know-- if i was eevees kennel people? i think i woulda sued the people that did whatever they did to her. but , if she was still at her prime? we sure wouldn't have her... so it worked out alright i spose.

don't even ask how i got onto all that stuff... i was just gonna complain that she woke me up at an ungodly hour. it turned into her history. see what happens when your babies aren't babies anymore?

i forgot to mention... we did manage to get us a new coffee maker before the weekend ended. :)) and i love it. it is actually the same make and style of the one i praised that we had gotten as a wedding gift-- that lasted so long. i really didn't think they made em anymore-- ahhh but they do! only much more sleek and modern. do you think i have learned how to use it yet? ummm no. do you think i will be forced to soon? ummm, yep. hubby got it on sunday, and has been setting the timer every night since. except-- yep-- last night. whaaaaaa. at the moment i am drinkin yesterdays nuked sludge. sorry, but i am just not prepared to learn new things at 2 a.m. one more warm-up.. and i reckon i'll have no other choice. it'll be sink or swim then. whenever he gets consistent in making the next days coffee- on the timer-- then abruptly stops?? ya know what song comes immediately to my mind?
neil diamond -- "you don't bring me flowers"

haha. what can i say. i'm a loser baby.. so why dontchya kill me. (that's a song btw-- don't get all jiggy on me. it's by 'beck'.)

i know-- i'm just goin nowhere at all with this. i guess i have nuthin to say today. just spewin typage.

i shall letya go.

enjoy your fridays!!!!!
it's a soggy one here :((

It's soggy here, too. I wish it would stop... puts me in a funk.
What kind of coffee maker did you buy? I hate ours. It's an expensive one, too. Figures.
Hope you feel better and have a great weekend!!!

Well don't get your hopes up too high for that new coffee maker - lord knows the way they manufacture stuff today isn't nearly as good as what they were doing even a few years ago. But I don't mean to be jinxing your new pot - I'm sure it will behave itself. And to think we used to boil that shit on the stove top in a "percolator" ! - Hope your doing good my dear! XOXO-BC - will Eevee wear ear muffs?

Brenda said...

hi gypsy--
i'm doin ok-- finally-- i woke up this morning with a gawd-awful migraine-- thought it would never go away- but it finally did. man i hate those. i know you do too.

as for the fever-- it still comes and goes-- (w/ meds)

i'm sure glad i caught this early though-- i usually get really really sick.. so far it's just kinda draggin me down a bit.

hope things are good out your way.

it's gettin cold here-- does that mean it's gettin hot there??

hey bren--
rest? i think i rested a little too much yesterday - woke up waaaay too early-- but then i slept from about 10 a.m. til 3:30 in the afternoon. yikes-- good thing hubby came home-- i woulda slept right through pickin up the kid time (actually--- i DID ) :(( he got home , woke me up - then he went to get her. PHEW.

then i went to bed kinda early -- woke up at a decent time-- but oh maaan, i hurt like hell. my neck was crippled and i had a migraine.

but i feel ok now--- so that's a good sign i hope-

hope things are good at your place-
have a happy weekend-
