When my kids were young each one of them had chicken pox at different times. Each of them were given a chicken pox party, complete with cake, ice cream and gifts as well. It's the least I could do to lift their spirits at an itchy, scratchy, difficult time. Gracie's flea trauma was no different.
Her package arrived yesterday from Three Dog Bakery. She keeps dragging her peanut butter chew bone from room to room hiding it, then digging it out from under pillows and hiding it again. I'm not sure if she likes it, or if she's just trying to get rid of it.
Double stuff cookies for dogs. Gracie likes!
Today it was up early for a business meeting in Hagerstown. My boss and me think so differently about how my office should be run. Errrrrrr.
But he's my boss.
I wish this guy was my boss. He'd listen to my ideas. He'd probably even give me a huge raise. He'd never argue with me or put me in my place. He'd just sit there and quietly agree.
Oh well. Enough of my bellyaching...
Went to see 'Unstoppable', a real nail-biter. I liked it, and gave it a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10. That's pretty good for me, and especially since I took a 5 minute catnap before the action started.
Other than that... not much to report.
In all the years that I worked outside the home I only had 2 bosses that weren't my cup of tea. And one of those 2 was the boss I had when I retired. He wasn't as old as my youngest child but he thought he knew EVERYthing about everything. Tasks he should have been doing were assigned to us "underlings" so if something went right, he could take all the credit but if they didn't work out so well, then it was our fault. I was SO GLAD to retire!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I hope little Gracie is feeling all better! So glad she got her Double Stuff! I love my Double Stuff Oreos too!... please give her big doggie kisses from me... xoxo Julie Marie
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!If my son ever gets the chicken pox I am going to do that for him! I think Gracie is going to feel better with all those goodies too!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to hear Gracie is getting her treats! That's cute about her burying and moving her bone!
ReplyDeleteI think Ronald McDonald would be great to work for. I am addicted to their cappucinos!!!
O.K., If I sit up and beg nicely, can I have some of those?? They look better than the treats that I make!!! Three Dog Bakery? If you give Gracie the treats tonight, will it be a Three Dog Night? Har har har!! Get it? The oldie rock group? S'cuse the bad pun, I couldn't help myself, I'm tired tonight. LOVE the picture of you and Ronald and I'm glad you were able to relax and see a good movie after all the stress!!
ReplyDeletewhat a cute idea when your kids were little to give them chicken pox parties! I don't think I have ever heard that before! Too cute with all of Gracie's goodies! I did hear that movie was good too!

ReplyDeleteI meant... LOL Ginny> That was funny!!
ReplyDeleteThose treats look pretty yummy and are probably much better than the Ol Roy beef stick I gave Tootie last month. That one stick, which she devoured in an hour, gave her diarreaha for three days! She had so many baths, and her bedding got washed a lot, too. Lesson learned. Have a great Sunday, Bobbi!

What a lucky dog! I wish my master (my wife) would buy me some double stuffed cookies. Maybe I'll get some for Christmas if I'm good :-)

I finally got the right boss my last five years at UCLA -- He was from Jamaica and sooo laid back and brilliant at the same time! I hope you will have the same luck. Because they don't change, these bosses, so I hope for a new one for you. About the bone, I think she likes it and if she were outside, she would dig a hole and hide it from you.--Inger
ReplyDeleteSophie likes this bakery too! We have one here and she loves going in and sniffin' around the place. Reminds me, we haven't been there in a while. Dogs have it made!!!
