Sunday Post

Sunday, 22 May, 2011

I had to share this picture. If you don’t follow me on Facebook you have missed this gem. It was taken at my parents’ house. I had just made a late brunch – poached eggs, toast, bacon and pan fried potatoes. We were sitting at the couch watching a spot of telly. I put my plate down and felt like I was being watched…I was! Click the picture to get the full size image.

All you see in the foreground is food…and then you see puppy spy. Such a cute little guy. He hates it when he can’t see food. LOL He hates it even more when you’re eating and he wants some. The joys of owning a dog like this – they’re perpetually hungry, but don’t fall for the big sad eyes.

He is freshly shaved, in anticipation for the summer! How adorable does he look? He almost looks puppy-ish again, but the big ole head is a dead giveaway.

Revlon – Perplex

Thursday, 7 April, 2011

I am Perplexed that I was not able to find this color sooner.

I got a call from a BFF going, “What is that color you were looking for from Revlon? Is it called Perplex?”

Me: “OMG…YES! WHERE ARE YOU?”

BFF: “I’m at Big Lots. They have three left and…”

Me: “GET THEM ALL. DO YOU HEAR ME? GET THEM ALLLLLLLLLLL!!!!! ALL OF THEM! I LOVE THAT COLOR. WELL, I DON’T KNOW IF I WILL LOVE THAT COLOR, BUT I WANT THEM ALL ANYWAY!”

BFF: “Ok. Stop yelling in my ear. They’re a dollar each.”

Me: *faints*

I got the package 2 days later. Yay for NAIL MAIL!! Thank you, Karen! Thank you, thank you!!!

Another Dog Day For Rex

Wednesday, 5 January, 2011

I think I’ve been bombarding the blog lately with animal posts in addition to nail polish, but I can’t help it.

Today I gave Rex a bath. I try to give him a bath and clean his ears out once a week because he’s a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. As with most spaniels and dogs of his ilk, they have tendencies to have things go wrong in their ears if you don’t take care of them. Rex is no exception. So I like to nip it in the bud.

Rex always needs a bath once a week because if he doesn’t he’s no longer adorable ruff ruff Rex. He’s Stinkasaurus Rex. He brings the funk and not in a good way.

Rex says, “Your depraved indifference to my suffering shows. You take photos of me when I am cold, wet and hungry.”

Dog Kaadian aka Mr Carinae Pets

My Three Favorite Boys

Sunday, 2 January, 2011

Kaadian (aka Mr Carinae) and my dad went out to the casting pools today so Kaadian could further perfect his casting in fly fishing. Daddy was ready. Mr Carinae was ready. It seems poor little Rex wasn’t ready – he didn’t have his coat or shoes (it was going to rain), nor did he have a fishing pole! Being even more of a bad mommy, I didn’t have Rex’s doggie life jacket from Outward Hound. Well, it’s not like he really needs one since he is such a water dog. He loved swimming in the pool and I had to keep the gate closed because if I didn’t, he’d be in the pool, paddling away.

I forgot Rex has strong tendencies to love the outdoors since he has so much spaniel in him. He gets excited when he sees birds outside and on a couple of occasions back in AZ, he’d be at the back door, staring out of the window and in a pointer pose, pointing at the birds in the yard!

Anyway, my three favorite boys, ready for outdoor activity. Sadly, Rex didn’t get to go.
