Jane, Guinness and Murphy's Blog – May 2011 Archive (5)

Tomorrow morning I'm heading to Atlanta for my nephew's graduation from Army Boot Camp.  I have always been particularly close to this nephew, and he really wants me to come.  The thing is.....I have to leave my guys until late Friday night.  I will be really, really worried about them.  I know that my DH will take great care of them....and I've home cooked enough food until Saturday.....but still.  So, I told my husband that if there are any problems he can either call the Vet or get right on… Continue

We're just back from spending three days at the beach with the kids and six grandkids.  We broke all records for chaos.  What amazes me is how well my Doods handled the whole thing....way better than their Mom.  The house is right on the water and the other beach houses are very close together.  Everyone has kids and multiple dogs and cats....and they roam free.  There are no "leash rules" at the beach...actually there are no rules whatsoever at the beach.  There's a little beach store right…

Guinness has a whole ritual that he goes through in the morning.  When the sun is coming in through the bedroom windows, he gets up on our bed for his morning nap.  He has a "set way" he likes to have the pillows arranged, and he'll move them around until he gets them perfectly placed, so he's cozy and the sun is hitting him.  It's really cute to watch this little procedure, and when he finished the other day and finally laid down for his "nap", I grabbed the camera.  Murphy was happily…
