PawPaw's Grandbaby's

I was on Martha Stewart's blog the other day and under her "pets" section she talks about her chow chow, PawPaw's passing. Now I know in my logical mind that this is ridiculous, but I was so upset. I actually cried about a dog I don't know passing. I have seen him on her show forever, he definitely had a presence about him.Well, the good news is that I was on her blog again this morning, and she blogged about the possibility of adopting his grandbaby's. It turns out that his daughter has had a litter, and they are just precious. There are three in the litter, and she's trying to decide which one to pick, though all on her blog insist she take them all. I guess she does have the space......Anywhooo, if your a dog lover like myself you should go to her website and check out the picks.BTW-I'll miss you Estelle Getty. Megan and I still watch Golden Girls re-runs, and you make us laugh every time.

Barn Swallows

In this "new" home we have had visitors for the last few months. A couple of barn swallows. They are lovely in theory. A place for birds to take shelter, have babies- what could be sweeter?

Well, I tell you their poop is not so sweet. They poo on everything! Forget sitting on the back porch, their home, they poo on the chairs, table, grill, anything they can find, really.

When I went out to feed the dogs this morning, at 530, they were not in their nests. They haven't been around all day either. Could it be true? Could they really be gone?

I hate to admit this, but I would like to make it where they won't come back. In the meantime, I'll be power washing.......
