Whoops. I can't add. I actually spent $30,000 on upgrades, not $20,000. I was originally a math major, too, lol! I added it up in my head when I was walking the dogs for 4 miles and realized I had made an error. That walk was on top of the 6 miles I walked with my friend this morning who is always late. She was late.
A few minutes ago I realized something was different here, and then it hit me. Molly and Baby were play-fighting very hard. It was like they used to do it before Molly got sick. Talk about being able to melt mommy's heart - I think we finally got Molly's medication amount in her shot correct. Poor Molly has really been through the wringer. Since we walked the 4 miles before the play fighting, these two will be snoring beagles pretty soon.
Not too long ago I had the girls out for a walk, maybe a week or two ago. Molly is a true bottom feeder. Today she found a piece of a sandwich and it was zippo gone before I could even see what kind it was or try to gauge how old it was. I didn't see it yesterday, so I hope it was fresh. But this story is about a time when we were walking past the fire station where they are redoing the cement driveway. As I was trying to step over some metal pieces of signs and dragging two dogs through it all, Molly found a bone.
At that time my wrists and shoulders were really, really achy. I could barely move either one. Yet - within seconds I was dragging on that chicken bone. Molly had it firmly between her teeth and was not going to give up on it. I pulled harder. So did she. I pulled up. She went on her back legs. I pulled harder. She came right off the ground. I was standing on the side of a major road in front of a fire station with a dog hanging from my right hand by a bone, totally off the ground. While I marveled at the strength I still have to do something like that, she marveled at her ability to hang on.
Baby, of course, was egging her on. She wanted that bone, so she was pulling as hard as she could on my left arm.
It was a face off. However, I am bigger. I got the bone. No, I didn't eat it. I tossed it. Molly looked very sad.

My two dogs used to play fight all the time too. I loved having two dogs because always entertained each other. When we used to play catch the older one would always grab the ball and then drop it so the younger one could get it! Glad Molly's doing so well! ~rose
It's always an adventure with a dog....especially when there's garbage(uh...I mean food) involved.
:)
My golden is a complete bottom feeder.
20 grand or 30... you were kind of almost close at least, LOL!
You are the best! Every single time I read something you write you have me peeing in my pants I'm laughing so hard. I would say more but obviously I have to go change my pants now! Martha ;-)
Im so glad that Molly is doing so well!
Love,

That is a great funny story about Molly. I have had to pull bones out of Lukes mouth too, but HE lets go. Yes, those upgrades do add up, but you will be glad. Anne
Now that Molly is feeling better, maybe she can get her drivers license, lol!

So "bone-wrestling" with beagles is an accepted form of working out these days...?! Good for you! Score one for Mommy!!! I am really bad at math, but, I have yet to make an error of 10,000! Hope I never do...can't wait to see your 30,000 worth of upgrades...Jae
have a good week:)

Suzy, I know what you mean about our pets getting older and seeing signs of being a bit frisky is so great! I'm so glad Molly and Baby are doing well.
Thanks for the Birthday wishes for John today and for being such a good friend!!!!!!!!!!
