That's My Guy


Today I felt like the Paparazzi sneaking a shot of someone famous when they were unaware...  

But I'm not a high paid photographer working for the National Enquirer or any other such magazine. 

 And my subject is only famous in my eyes.  

Shhhh... 

 I could see him but he couldn't see me because our house windows are tinted glass.   Hee hee.



This morning he called me to the window to look outside at our wildflowers. 

 "Take a good look..." he said.  "Aren't they beautiful today?  They'll soon be gone."



My hubby's not been feeling well.  It's the Crohn's disease.  He keeps losing weight and has stomach pain every day along with bloody bowel.  I'm sorry, I don't mean to gross anybody out...  but if anyone knows of someone who has this disease and has a remedy that will ease suffering... we're open for suggestions.  



He's such a good man and has been through so much.


I can remember when I first started dating him his X called me on the phone and for one solid hour told me how horrible of a man he was.  

"Oh sure," she said.  "He'll wine and dine you... and bring you flowers...  but that will fade.  Next year at this time you'll know the real Gary..."  

Of course, I chose to find out for myself.  That was ten years ago.  He still wines and dines me...  and here's the proof that he still brings me flowers.  She must have been talking about somebody else.



Ahhhh


He was searching for the perfect flowers...


Right in front of the living room window is a rose bush.  Here he was trying to get a rose to add to the collection of flowers. 

 Remember, he can't see me.


Oh Gary, You are so dear!



The last of our wildflowers.  Sniff, sniff.


My hubby is the greatest.


But he's not feeling so well.  


And Gracie's worried.

Okay... Smile!

Me: Gracie, C'mon... let me take a fall picture of you for my blog.  My blog friends love you.  They think you're cute.

Gracie:  I have a better idea, let's put twigs and brush in your hair and make you sit still while everyone stands around laughing at you.




Me:  That's it girl.  Smile.

Gracie:  If you see a smile on this face it's because I have gas.  And thanks for that by the way...   You know better than to give me chicken.


Me: Oh Gracie, you look so cute.  Now lets go inside... Mommy's got to go to work.

Gracie:  Sure, and without even so much as a Beggin' Strip as a reward for being good.  That's how you are.  




Me:  Oh Gracie, why are you so sad?

Gracie:  Well, lets see.  You yelled at me for having my chew bone in the middle of the floor, you haven't changed my water yet today, you told my buddy Gumby you were going to throw him away if you tripped on him one more time, you didn't share your toast with me, you pulled me away from the best smells outside - near the fire hydrant, you always have that stupid Mac on your lap instead of me.... and my ears itch!  Why do you think I'm sad?





Me:  Gracie I love you

Gracie:  Yea, well I guess I love you too.

Hmph!


Dear Diary,

Gee, guess what I get to do today?

 I Watched the house again.  Surprise, surprise.  

Hmph! No surprise there.... who are they kidding?


They act like it's such a big deal.  'Oh Gracie, you have to protect us', 'Watch for intruders, Gracie'... and so on. 

 Yea, right.  

Let me bark at a shifty looking little old lady and her poodle as they pass by and see what happens. 

 'Gracie! Muzzle!'  

Whatever!


Wait.  Is that my new neighbor and boyfriend Max?  

Could it be?  

Is it...???


False alarm.  

There ain't nothing going to get me out of this funk I'm in.   

Nothing. 

Not Dairy Queen.  

Not tennis courts. 

 Forget Scooby Snacks.... 

I'm mad and I wish to stay that way thank you very much.
Nothing will stop me from moping around...



Except...

My squeaky Chickie Bird!! 

 Daddy!!  Where did you find it?

  I thought it was lost forever!!!



Happy for now.  Gracie.

PS  I found out that my Squeaky Chicky Bird was not lost at all but PUT AWAY because it makes too much noise.  I'm hiding it now...  see how they like that!
