The Pack is Growing!
We got a new ba
by! She's a year old Weimeraner. What a story! Our oldest dog, Sobaka is nearly 15-years-old and Luna is a three-year-old with some energy, so we wanted an active playmate. I've always wanted a Weimeraner and never thought I could afford one. We happened to be looking on petfinders.com when a photo of a beautiful Weimer came up, we called, she was still available. The rescue asked tons of questions and said if we wanted her come get her.

When we arrived in Newport Arkansas we where met by a battered, bitt

en and dirty dog. The poor rescue people are attempting the nearly immpossible with more animals than they can handle. She is covered with scratches, scars and bites. Poor thing. We have been putting neosporin on her wounds and hoping they heal well. We allowed her and Luna to play and get to know each other and signed the paperwork. Off we took for home. We where told a couple bought her that lived in an apartment and was overwhelmed with her and her chewing. We can handle that! We had three raw-hide bones in the truck waiting. She was great travelling and we went to the vet the next day, aft
er blood test, was told she was doing good, no health concerns. We are waiting to hear from the rescue, who was attempting to get her records, before we get shots.
er blood test, was told she was doing good, no health concerns. We are waiting to hear from the rescue, who was attempting to get her records, before we get shots. I got a phone call, after researching, the rescue director found out she was lied too. This dog was passed around from person to person, never has been to a vet, and never spayed. Oh boy! Appraently the people who dropped her at the pound, the apartment dwellers, where not the original owners. The trail has went cold six different people back!
Good news, her and Luna are the best of buddies and love to play...everywhere...non-stop! I'll call the rescue again today and see if there is any new news, and set an appointment with our vet! The pack is growing!

Father develops cleaning obsession after cornea transplant
Father develops cleaning obsession after cornea transplant
A father developed a cleaning obsession following a cornea transplant that he says "must have come from a woman." Before the operation, Will Palmer, 46, was happy to leave household chores to his partner Sarah Gadsby. However, since the father-of-three had a cornea transplant in March this year he has taken to doing the dusting and washing up and developed an aversion to grime he didn't have before.
Mr Palmer, a financial adviser, said: "Since having the transplant my vision is almost 20/20. I've can now notice every speck of dust and dirt and can't help but have a go at cleaning it up as I go along."Before my vision started to deteriorate my partner had to pester me into doing my bit around the house. Sarah always said I never did enough washing up and hoovering, but now I'm always at it. For some reason seeing the grime gets right on my nerves and I have to do something about it. It started as a joke that I must have been given the cornea of a woman but I really do think it's true.
"There's a reason why men don't clean like this and I think it's because we just don't see the dirt, but I see it everywhere I go."Mr Palmer, who plays tennis, golf and squash, contracted corneal disease Fuchs Dystrophy six years ago. The condition causes cells lining the inner surface of the cornea, the thin layer that covers and protects the iris and pupil and is responsible for two thirds of the eye's vision, to slowly die. This meant that over time the sight in Will's right eye had deteriorated so much that everything appeared cloudy and blurred. It was also sensitive to light. Mr Palmer got a much-needed transplant, which took 40 minutes under local anaesthetic, at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield, South Yorks., after being on the list for just six months. Scientific studies have suggested that up to a third of organ transplant patients believe they have inherited changes in their personalities, preferences and skills from their donors.
PS. My Dad got false teeth and didn't stop talking for two weeks straight. Come to find out he got the wrong teeth, the woman was much happier after she got them back.

THINGS YOU DON'T HEAR ANYMORE
Things you don’t hear anymore
Be sure to refill the ice trays, we’re going to have company.
Watch for the postman, I want to get this letter to Willie in the mail today
Quit slamming the screen door when you go out !
Be sure and pull the windows down when you leave, it looks like a shower is coming up.
Don’t forget to wind the clock before you go to bed.
Wash your feet before you go to bed, you’ve been playing outside all day barefooted.
Why can’t you remember to roll up your britches legs? Getting them caught in the bicycle Chain so many times is tearing them up.
You have torn the knees out of that pair of pants so many times there is nothing left to put a patch on.
Don’t you go outside with your school clothes on!
Go comb your hair; it looks like the rats have nested in it all night.
Be sure and pour the cream off the top of the milk when you open the new bottle.
Take that empty bottle to the store with you so you won’t have to pay a deposit on another one.
Put a dish towel over the cake so the flies won’t get on it.
Quit jumping on the floor! I have a cake in the oven and you are going to make it fall if you don’t quit!
Let me know when the Fuller Brush man comes by, I need to get a few things from him.
You boys stay close by, the car may not start and I will need you to help push it off.
There’s a dollar in my purse, get 5 gallons of gas when you go to town.
Open the back door and see if we can get a breeze through here, it is getting hot.
You can walk to the store; it won’t hurt you to get some exercise.
Don’t sit too close to the TV. It is hard on your eyes.
If you pull that stunt again, I am going to wear you out!
Don’t lose that button; I’ll sew it back on after awhile.
Wash under your neck before you come to the table, you have beads of dirt and sweat all under there.
Get out from under the sewing machine; pumping it messes up the thread!
Be sure and fill the lamps this morning so we don’t have to do that tonight in the dark.
Here, take this old magazine to the toilet with you when you go, we are almost out of paper out there.
Go out to the well and draw a bucket of water so I can wash dishes.
Don’t turn the radio on now, I want the battery to be up when the Grand Ole Opry comes on.
No! I don’t have 10 cents for you to go to the show. Do you think money grows on trees?
Eat those turnips, they’ll make you big and strong like your daddy.
That dog is NOT coming in this house! I don’t care how cold it is out there, dogs don’t stay in the house.
Sit still! I’m trying to get your hair cut straight and you keep moving and it is all messed up.
Hush your mouth! I don’t want to hear words like that! I’ll wash your mouth out with soap!
It is time for your system to be cleaned out. I am going to give you a dose of castor oil tonight.
If you get a spanking in school and I find out about it, you’ll get another one when you get home.
Quit crossing your eyes! They will get stuck that way!
Soak your foot in this pan of kerosene so that bad cut won’t get infected.
When you take your driving test, don’t forget to signal each turn. Left arm straight out the window for a left turn; left arm bent up at the elbow for a right turn; and straight down to the side of the door when you are going to stop.
It’s: ‘Yes Ma’am!’ and ‘No Ma’am!’ to me, young man, and don’t you forget it!
Thanks Gene
