- The kids just finished about 5 minutes of a game of tug with the Westie Baby. I love watching them play. Mike just has to stand his ground and sound vicious, while little Gidget pulls, shakes her head and gives a low, girlie growl. It's so funny to watch. If Gidge loses hold of the toy, Mike will hang on to it and continue growling and shake it, and she looks at me like asking "is it safe to grab it again?"... so I'll grab part of it and give it back to her so they could continue the game. On the other hand... if Mike accidentally loses grip of it... she takes advantage of it and runs really fast behind the couch with Mike at her heels. She is SUCH a girl. LOL
Gidget is still testing me. I don't want to say this too loud, but she hasn't peed in the laundry room for almost a week... of course that could change the first time I don't pay attention to her when she goes in there and barks to go out. When it seems like she's going out "too" much (like when she was younger and going out every 5 minutes and driving me nuts), I put her in her room for about an hour and "then" I'll let her out. It seems to be working again... I can only keep my fingers crossed and pray she gets out of the habit of every going out every 20 to 30 minutes. I know it's not a urinary infection because half the time when I let her out.. she doesn't even go pee... just wants to sniff around or play with her leash. Oh my... kids... they can drive you nuts sometimes.
I took the laptop to Dr. Blaha last night and showed her what I had done with the VIA program. I was soooo excited... she was really happy with it and said, "this just might work... how did you do what so many others have tried to do and couldn't?" ... LOL... I didn't tell her that all I did was take the time to read the "help" sections. In her eyes, I look like a female Bill Gates. ROFL. It does feel great though knowing that she's happy with it and all those hours weren't wasted.
Hey Alex...
It's so great to see you here!!!
I don't know about being a great photographer... I just have great subjects. I'm going to have to buy another disposable camera to take some more pictures soon. And speaking of great pictures... the ones of Maleah and Shakespeare are priceless. Everytime you post them, I just want to scoop them up and give them all kinds of cuddles.
As far as the paycheck... I can't believe I'm actually getting one after all these years. I mean I was working for West up until last September and got some small ones and a few good sized ones, but it's been almost a year since I've earned any money. I put 23 hours in this week, and she's given me enough work to do this week that I will probably have another 23 this week... HALLELUJAH!!
Oh my gosh... it feels great to be able to know I'll be able to tithe again and have a little extra money to put on my credit card... especially since I've put so much money into the car since I've had it. Hopefully, now the car is done draining me.
By the way... I've had a couple of people e-mail me about commenting here. Just to let you know.. just scroll down to the bottom of the last post... a box will open up where you can leave your comments. The comments don't automatically post on the blog itself but stay in the boxed area, so anyone opening that comment link can read them. When I come on here to post, I open it up and copy and paste the comments here on the blog so everyone can see them. They don't automatically post on the blog itself (that's the question I get the most).
I thought I'd re-post the picture slideshows of Mike and Gidget here. I was looking at them the other day and realized how much she had really grown since she came to live with us.
Oh.. by the way... when you click on the link, it will take you to Photobucket and may take you away from the blog. If you don't want this to happen, just right click on the link and left click where it says "open in new window" or "open in new tab", that way you can just come back to the blog to click on the next one. I know most of you already know this, but just in case you didn't.. it works better that way.

Alexandra said...Hi Joanna,
Everytime I see your page I just love your pictures so much. You are a great photographer!
Your post of them playing made me laugh. Every time we go someplace Maleah jumps in the car first and then guards the door waiting for Shakespeare. As soon as he jumps in she climbs on top of him and rides him around the back seat...kind of like what I think you described:) I'm laughing right now thinking about it. I, too, wish your Mikey could play more with Gidget. It's so fun to watch them and it brings a joyful atmosphere over the house. Especially needed when you live alone. At least for me it is.
I'm also glad you are getting so much work and it does sound like SO MUCH! Good for you. I can just imagine those paychecks rolling in. Well, I hope so anyway.
Anyway, take care and I'm glad I saw the really really fine print where I can post a comment:) Couldn't find it before.
Love,
Alex, Shakespeare, and Maleah
