What a Great Day For Not Doin' Nuthin!!

Today, JTK and I stayed home from the adoption event.    It was another lazy day, enjoying just hanging out.   It is so nice not rushing around  having to be somewhere at a certain time.   I swear, my life feels like a daily race.    Every morning I wake up, it's like "And we're off ... AGAIN."  So it's really nice to have a day to play the Wii with JTK, rub the dog's bellys and even do some serious QVC salivating! :)   Of course, we went out for a couple of hours to visit my Mom and Foxie Roxie.     Don't you love this pic of TRex?  It looks so sweet and quiet.   I have a dog bed behind the couch and it's in the window.   During warmer months, the dogs flock to it but on cold days nobody wants to lie next to a chilly window!   With the sun out today, though, TRex couldn't resist the sunniest and most comfortable spot in the house.

I know the dogs love having us around while they nap and snooze and relax.    Suzie was especially thrilled with our presence.   I couldn't believe the number of different ways she would flip her body around to remind both of us that she was in need of a serious belly rub.   At one point, she stood on her hind legs begging for a belly rub and fell backwards against the couch cushions.   We were cracking up.   I wish the picture would have come out clearer, but here she is.



Rub my Belly!!! 



No, Really RUB MY BELLY!!

 Joey had made himself a fancy glass of chocolate milk .... whipped topping and chocolate syrup.   Unfortunately, he left it on the kitchen table, too close to the edge.   Cooper is notorious for figuring out how to knock things off a table or counter so he can gobble it up.   Apparently his skills were a little lacking, though, because the chocolate milk ended up on him and not in his mouth.   

Chocolate Stained Cooper ... blech

I heard a clatter in the kitchen and didn't think much of it.   I was chillin on the couch watching some TV while JTK corresponded on his anime and vocaloid forums in the computer area.   Even when Cooper jumped on the couch beside me and I felt how wet he was it didn't hit me.   I was thinking he might have been outside and rolling in some snow.    But within a few moments, it all clicked.   Coopers wet back + the clatter in the kitchen = A MESS.   eeewwww         I was ultra annoyed and because it was Joey's "fault" he had to bathe Cooper and mop the floor up.   mwahahahaha  I know JTK is thanking God for the Swifter with the wet wipe attachments. :)    Cooper is a true dog and would prefer to be the stinkiest, filtthiest and crustiest dog on the planet.    He finds cleanliness horrendous and detests getting wet.  In this picture,  I think he's singing to himself to the tune of Oscar the Grouch's trash song "I HATE BATHS.... " :)

Am I seriously still wet?????

This morning our day was started with a number of people in our group getting fishy emails in regards to our foster dogs.   I had a friend who was selling some art on CL and someone was using a very similar scam a couple of years ago.   I can't remember exactly how it worked,  but it included the need to send an inflated cashiers check by overnight mail to their address.  I then think if my friend had "cashed" the check they would then need to return a large portion back to the person who sent it.    The cashiers check, of course, is counterfeit and the one cashing is taking the chance of being caught.    No matter how anyone replied, this is the response received:

So just a reminder - if an email seems weird, it likely is.    I have a pet peeve about people using "i" when they should use "I" so I would have probably refused to adopt to them even if they were on the up and up.  ha  Doesn't it seem as if the majority of these scamming emails don't know how to capitalize correctly or use decent grammar! :)
