Raising the bar

So I was talking with the hubs the other day. He pretty much told me that I'm the most amazing person he's ever met. awwww

Growing a person

He told me that he's all proud of me because since he's gone a lot here I am running the house, taking care of the critters and everything that they do, go to Iowa to visit not only my family but his family as well, I'm making a person, and I still go to work every day. Boom I'm amazing.  But he also told me that I'm not ever going to be allowed to say I can't do something. Is that good or bad?

Speaking of what the critters do....

Belle earned her keep again... gross. But she got a mouse. I was doing laundry and then went into the kitchen and out comes the cat from the laundry room. I knew she had something in her mouth and she was all proud and prancing. I thought maybe she just had some fabric or something else random that she finds. But she went down the hall, then downstairs, then she came back upstairs and I decided to check what the heck was going on. That's when I noticed it was a mouse. Gross. Anyway, this was before church and I decided that I should probably take care of the mouse before church. Gross. By now Charlie and Lucy are fairly interested in what Belle has. Belle came downstairs and so did the rest of us. She eventually just dropped it and I took care of it. Gross.

Flooded Deer Creek

Also it has been raining a lot. Lots of flooding but we live on a hill so things are fine here. That means a lot of mud though.... Lucy isn't a fan but Charlie is. She is getting really good at learning how to get into the tub after only being told once. Then she sits there so nice and lets me wash her feet and sometimes her face. Every now and then someone comes in with a tick.. yeah I take care of that too. Then the other day I was walking in the backyard looking for the dogs because it was nice out and they were just out and about having a good time. Then I looked to my right and saw 6 vertebra  WHAT?! It's still there. I should probably take care of it but, I'm not going to lie, it is actually kind of interesting  I took the picture and then the dogs came running up. They weren't interested. I took a picture to prove it. 

Country

Charlie has been a good guard dog lately. She doesn't spend a whole heck of a lot of time with me. Lucy follows me everywhere... except the bathroom because she hates baths and when it is bath time she runs to the kennel. Then she also gets all sad puppy dog eyes when I pick her up and get her in the tub. She just gets so itchy - not sure if it's allergies or dry skin. I know it's not any sort of bug because I check her out for that a lot and put medicine on both of the dogs for that.  Anyway, Charlie had a full report to give to the hubs the other day. He snapped a picture. 

Well that's all I got for now. I need a slushie. =)
