Hi ya'll ,I got some DVD's at the library of a British comedy series called "Forty Something". Starring Hugh Laurie. (Dr. House) It is hilarious! Him and his wife are a 40 something couple with 3 young adult sons.One of the sons is screwing 2 sisters, their dad is after Hugh Laurie, he thinks his wife is a lesbian ,the kids fight (like mine) and he's having a midlife crisis.
The neighbors could probably hear me cackling. THEN...what to my shock ,do I see? That's right....Hugh Laurie, buck naked!OMG! It was like seeing my brother buck naked!
Why wasn't this on TV in England? Rush out to your library and get the DVD's . You won't be sorry.(except for that naked Hugh Laurie thing)
Our cold snap ends today. Woo hoo!!
I stupidly left all my warm coats in England. I feel like I must go walk .Our mall is so dinky I have no desire to go walk around that thing. I'd have to make about 50 laps in there.
I've been checking the paper for jobs since I got home and guess what? There aren't any!
It's horse racing season down here, usually one of the busiest times of the year. This is awful.
Who wants to hire a socially phobic ex-Realtor with no recent job references ? Oh , wait ...I hear them lining up outside.
My kids are going through job hell as well. One wasn't paid what he was supposed to be paid. One is barely working at all. Naturally ,THIS is when his car breaks down. Ack!
And the one with his own company ,needs to hire a leg breaker to get people to pay what they owe him.
What is Obama gonna do about this??? Hmmmm???
I've had no luck finding a geek yet. Did you know that "geek squad" is through Best Buy?
I didn't know that. WE do not have a Best Buy. They are building one as we speak. That is not helping me.
I can't tell you how glad I am to have t.v.,phone and internet back! Speaking of luxuries, you know what the most noticeable one is ,since my return?
Being able to wash my hands in warm water.That's right! Warm water comes right out of my faucet.
Not having to fill ice trays or hang laundry in my living room is pretty cool too.

Some comments to ya'lls comments:
Brad said...Try a very wet wash cloth on that boy before you risk life and limb on the full submersion bath. I use it on Lilly when she's been playing in the goat barn.
So what's the plan on getting the rest of the clan home?
I already tried that. His fur is just not fluffy. He looks like white trash. LOL
It could be that he grew a winter coat in that hell hole and THAT fur may just look scroungy ,like when they have baby fur.
The rest of the clan will be staying in England. Hubby will come home this summer for vacation and Cavuto and I will go back to England after vacation. His quarantine will be over mid July.
Animals can lose the will to live and will literally starve themselves to death. I have seen it happen. Years ago, someone gave us a long haired Siamese cat named Ivy.My mother gave Ivy to a man at the gas station. About 3 weeks later she saw the man and asked about Ivy. "Oh , he's still in a cage ,the man said, acting miserable and unhappy."
He gave Ivy back to us. ...nearly dead. In spite of going to the Vet and being given i.v. fluids. Poor Ivy did not make it. His spirit had been broken and it was too late to save him.
That was NOT going to happen to my Cavuto!

Cavuto is really thin. Prison food didn't measure up. Also, I looked at the "blood draw" site under his chin. That looks a bit excessive for just drawing blood. Prison didn't agree with this little man.
He DOES look just awful!When they did the blood draw they shaved a little area on his neck and I think they nicked him with the clippers. In THAT environment,it soon turned into a huge crusty scab.If they had shaved the spot where they inserted his microchip ,maybe the damn thing would have gone in deep enough to have stayed there. Gah!
Poor Cavuto! He sure looks emaciated. I think he must have lost all his appetite AND didn't like the prison food. Poor baby. I know you will fatten him up in no time. Every time Cavuto curls up for a nap in the daytime, go rub his face. Every time. Then at night he will be so tired he will sleep and not wake you. I would like to be a fly on the wall when you go talk to your vet about that mythical micro-chip. G5
I think he was too sad and cold to eat.Yesterday afternoon ,every time he tried to go to sleep I got him up and sang "No sleeping, no sleeping!" He must have thought I was nuts , But he did sleep until 4 A. M. this morning. I'm positive I will be getting a NEW Vet . Even if I have to drive to Dallas to find one!

do you complain about everything? You must have something that is good in your life...what happened to the blog you wrote that said that you would be thankful for things back in the states, after you had been in England?
It sounds like you need to get something to do to make your life nicer.
I have plenty that's good in my life. But I think that since wounds hurt when they are fresh, I have every right to feel sad that my family has been ripped apart over some bullshit.And since this is MY blog I guess that gives me the right to say so.

How could this not make me flaming mad?
L: Cavuto before quarantine
R: after with his sides all sunken in.
Before, beautiful and healthy.
After, I don't think I need words here.
Even his eyes do not look normal.
After: fitting in that crumb of a bed.
Looking dry and mangy.
Before: spilling his fat happy self out of his girl bed.
Shiny , pretty and happy.
Have a great day Ya'll!
Luv me
All the years I was married to hubby #1, I'd board my dogs when we'd go out of town. They were always very happy to see me. Until I saw the difference in Cavuto, I never dreamed they'd grieve so much!
