1.29.13 Coffee’s On, Come On Over

coffe-date-phot

“I love the smell of coffee brewing. A hot cup with tons of sugar and equal portions of heavy cream or one of coffee mate’s flavour. Yum Sigh*”

Worldly Winds invited us for coffee – is that not the sweetest thing?  I LOVE coffee; the dogs, not so much.  What a fun new thing to do in cyberspace.  Thanks Alexandra.alexandra

1) How many cups of coffee per day? I hate to admit it but it is about 3 or 4 at the moment. I drink regular at about 6:30 AM and make a second cup from the same grounds at about 8 or 9.  In the afternoon, I have a cup of decaf.  In the evening I try to switch to decaf tea (Constant Comment is my fav) but sometimes just want decaf coffee to go with my gluten free cookie.

2) What is your favourite caffeine delivery system? My single cup Keurig

 3) What was your best cup of coffee? Cappuccino in Venice, Italy

4) What was your worst cup of coffee? Old restuarant dregs (I always make them brew a new pot)

mug5) What does your favourite mug say? It is red with a giant blue M&M character on it.  Before that was one that my daughter made me in some art class when she was little, no words just color, but some cat knocked it off the counter (or at least that is what the dogs told me).

6) How do you take your coffee? Non-dairy Hazelnut creamer.  Or regular non-dairy creamer with 1 sweet n’ low

 7) When was your first cup? My mother made the worst coffee in the world and I thought all coffee was those little crystals that came from a jar with hot water.  So I did not start drinking coffee until college, and even then, I preferred herbal teas.  I really got into coffee big time about 5 years ago.

 8) Have you ever gone on a coffee tea date? How cute is that.  I do drink Coffee when I am on a date with my spouse but V doesn’t drink either tea or coffee, only Pepsi..

I shall now invite a few friends for a tea/coffee date – please bring your pets if you have any.  (I think this may be the first non-animal related post that I have ever done. Wow!)  I prefer small crowds, but feel free to invite more people when you have your own dates.

1.28.13 Monday Mischief: Switched

Mom, can you solve a problem?  Lulu says that black dogs are smarter than blond dogs.  Is that true?

Mom, can you solve a problem? Lulu says that black dogs are smarter than blond dogs. Is that true?

Sometimes, Mom’s just have to do magic to answer the more difficult questions.

Well, Sofie.  What do you think?

1.27.13 Black & White Sunday: Gimme!

Gimme that!  It's mine!

Gimme that! It’s mine!

Doesn’t matter what the toy is, if one has it, the other wants it.  In the end, Louise usually just gives it to Sofie, since her jaw is so much stronger, she rips it away and then puts it in Sofie’s mouth.  Very interesting play my girls do.

1.26.13 Caturday: Baby Stella

Baby Stella is about a 1 1/2 years old now.  It is hard to believe what a big beautiful girl she has become.  Stella is extremely shy (now that couldn’t be because she is so overshadowed by her big brother, Nine, could it?) and likes to stick to the outer rooms.  She still prefers to eat her meals alone in the cat room and not in the kitchen with everyone else (so we let her).  Stella comes down to the bedroom and plays with the others for a little while in the evening.  She especially likes to hide in my bathroom with all the plants that are in the big tub wintering over.  I do think that she will come out more and more over time.  It is hard being the youngest of 5 animals.  I should know, I was the youngest of 3.   Have a great day!

1.25.13 Follow Up Friday: Lovies and other things

Well, it is that time of week to look back so that we can look forward.  

Mom! Louise has all the toys and she isn't sharing.

Mom! Louise has all the toys and she isn’t sharing.

People were very taken with the wonderful angels, Gertrude and Squash, who were present on the blog last weekend.  I appreciate the nice comments, we all have our fur angels and sometimes we need them to visit more than others.  I am blessed to have a whole zoo of angels that all come visit from time to time.  

The dogs were so bored after their Monday Mischief that I had to break out a new Bo-Bo.  All those toys and they can’t find anything to do.  Amazingly (and I really should not say anything or I will jinx it), the new Bo-Bo still lives!!!  But let us see what destuffing goes on tomorrow.  

We really appreciated the response to Meet Mini Beaver.   It was great to find out that Sofie is not alone in her attachment to a Lovey.  Droppie, of AngelWhisper has a squeaky duck; Misaki has a squirrel; Doggy has his blanket, and; the humans at Animal Couriers make sure that when their dogs have a Lovey they go buy lots of extras.  Cupcake on the other hand, like Louise, is fickle and will play with anything (or not).  

Knee Update:  The bad news is, as expected, I tore the Menisus in the left knee.  But the good news is: not planning surgery immediately (I do hope that is good – right?) Since I already have trouble with the knees we are going to take the most conservative approach.  The doctor shot the knee with drugs and I am going to go to Physical Therapy to try and get the muscles stronger.  He said 50% of people are not bothered by the pain of a tear after about 12 weeks (that seems like a long time). We are hoping that it will stop hurting even though it will never go away.  When I asked him if I would every be able to knell again, he was a little hesitant to say anything other than, “you may have limitations.”  Wish me luck, folks.  All I want to do is get back to my walk every day with the dogs.  We are all going crazy!  Maybe next month.

Follow Up Friday is part of the blog hop hosted by Heart Like A Dog.  Check out the other blog hoppers:
