The Girls

Here are a few recent pics of the girls.  They would rather look out the living room window and mentally massacre a neighboring squirrel than pose for a photo with their Mom. Ha!  In their minds, they are Pitbulls when it comes to a squirrel!

I stopped by Home Depot last night on my way home and bought two gate springs.  I'm so afraid that we are going to let the girls out one day or night and one of the gates will be open and they'll make an escape.  It's happened before and it's not a pretty sight to see me running down the street, my hair flying every which way, after these two dogs - cursing all the way, I might add.  You just can't imagine it in the wildest of imaginations - trust me! 

I don't get home until after dark, so God only knows when the springs will get installed, but probably this weekend.  I've never installed one of these springs, but it can't take a rocket scientist - right?

Yesterday, at lunch I ran my car through the car wash and then me through Starbucks.  I love Starbucks' iced Lattes.  They are so refreshing.  When I got back to work there was a pretty irrate customer on the phone.  Without going into a lot of boring detail we saved the business by doing what should have been done to begin with.  You know, I just don't undertand why some of my co-workers who get paid good salaries to make good business decisions find it so difficult to do so.  But that's a whole other issue.  Luckily, this guy had the fortitude to keep pushing and finally got someone who listened to him and then asessed the situation, and finally did the right thing for everyone concerned.  I think some folks get on a power trip because they can tell another person "NO".  I always tell people that if you don't agree with something simply and respectfully ask to speak to someone else. That doesn't mean that you are always going to get what you want because you won't, but at least you'll know that the situation was reviewed by yet one other person who just might agree with you!

I'm happy to report that it is another sunny day in the Pacific Northwest.  I sure wish I was going to be home today, because I could get a lot of yard work done.  It's the perfect weather for it.

Have a great day!
