Dog days...

This quilt is going to be done someday! I worked on it until late last night, and I will be back to work on it as soon as I eat some lunch.

This morning was the first of three trips to the vet. Maddie, my pretty girl, was first for her yearly shots and check up. Maddie is a sweetheart I adopted about 14 months ago. People always tell be how pretty she is, then ask what kind of dog she is. I should get her DNA done and find out. When I adopted her the Bio described her as a 2 year old Cocker Spaniel mix. I was thinking about getting her and I mentioned it on Facebook. My best friend since high school, who lives several states away, went on Pet finders and picked out the same dog I was looking at. That made my mind up! I went to get her, about an hour drive north of here, and when I got there I was expecting a 30 pound Cocker mix. She is a 50 pound girl. At her first vet visit her Doctor said she is more like 7 or 8 years old. We have 2 Golden Retrievers, so she is a small dog compared to them. My husband was really not in favor of getting a new dog, but he left it up to me. When we had her for about a month, he said he was glad I rescued her. She really likes men and greets him at the door whenever he comes home. I think he likes the attention. She fit right in with the boys, and is good with the cats. She was very interested in the bird in the cage at first, but now she pays no attention to him unless he is singing, then she just listens.
I take the boys in tomorrow morning and afternoon. I decided to take it easy and do them one at a time, since Glenn is not here to meet me there and hold a leash.
Lunch time and then some piecing time before the kid gets home and we go to the orthodontist... and I wonder why it takes me so long to get anything done... maybe a retreat is in order when Glenn gets home in July.
