* beauty Queens birthday *

my beauty queen Hurray Ruby is 5
her birthday was the 24th...
we had butt rubs .. a meaty juicy bone..
and
LOVE LOVE LOVE
of course we shared bones with herbie & lulu also
forest & marley & we have a bone all wrapped up & ready for our poo poo rocco..
we hope to see him this weekend.. his mom katie called & sang to ruby ..
promised a kiss from rocco..
ruby has been waiting on pins & needles.. she adores that big beauty!

marley is the oldest dog of the gang.. he is a 12-13 year old chocolate lab chessie mix..
he was soooo
thrilled with his bone.. he took it to the back yard & laid down & just barked ..
i thought for joy ..
my brother said he is old & nutts .. he interpreted what his old farty dog was saying for me

"hey don't look at my bone!"
"you over there ..don't look at my bone!"
"HEY quit looking..
IT IS
MINE
MINE
MINE
MINE
!!!"

that was hysterical.. the image of that nutty old man just barking at the wind was priceless

we also went to the star wars exhibit this week .. pretty cool star wars fans..
wookies.. original land speeder.. original costumes .. r2d2..c3po .. darth vader....
i would show photos but somehow in all the excitement my camera turned the
photos into an unrecognized file format?!?!?!?!
andy the computer wizard & great oz thinks he can recover things so cross
your fingers...

i went kayaking on weds... it was a blast.. i really would love a kayak...
colman & i went out exploring & there was a kayak rental so we went kayaking... we had been wanting to.. probably would have been nice to have had swimsuits on ..
but thats fine..
wet butts never hurt anyone...
:)

it has been hot & muggy... my new airconditoner is backordered.. it was supposed to be here today ..
in & installed.. so it is hot..
and it is raining outside..
this is what happens when it rains..
i have latte the guinea pig.. bing the cat .. herbie .. lulu is here just can't see her ..she is panting like crazy under my chair.. she is afraid of thunder...
ruby is downstairs still waiting at the door for rocco to come kiss her ..
either that or
for me to take that car ride junkie for another ride..
it is a toss up!
and of course colman ..
trying to eat a taco in peace..
