I was looking at the “station” where the cats get fed, and next to their slimy bowl of whatever disgusting thing that comes out of the pouch they get fed with was – as is often the case – was a pile of cat puke. You know what the difference is between cat food and cat puke? Me neither. Of course, the puppies (or at least one of them) were also up to no good overnight, as they managed to crap on the rug in our family room (where we have been letting them roam freely at night, as they’ve been relative good lately). I didn’t see it, myself (it was amongst the shards of yogurt container that they’ve been happily chewing to pieces), but the wife did. And oh, how she chuckled about it. Those whacky pooches.
Meanwhile, over at my sister’s house, all three of her dogs managed to get sprayed by a skunk last night, after which hilarity ensued. I don’t know if you’ve ever had a critter get skunked (or been sprayed yourself), but it is one nasty stink to get rid of (burns your eyes, makes you gag. It’s neat). I think I’ll wait a while before visiting.
Speaking of stinking, yesterday was the first time in a long time when I sat down and watched an NFL football game. The weather here yesterday sucked. It went from a steady mist to outright downpour from time to time, and it was a little on the chilly side (would have been fine, had it been sunny). So I took Fritz to go play with his as yet unskunked cousins while I watched some football with my sister and her hubby.
Unfortunately, it was the Jets, and they were horribly inept. Especially on offense. So that wasn’t much fun to watch (although I know a couple of you were probably very happy with the game, so congratulations to you). Fortunately, I stopped taking Jets games seriously, so it wasn’t terribly traumatic for me. Just boring.
The other game that was on was the Bill – Patriots. A tough game for me to watch, since I can’t stand New England, and yet I hate Buffalo. But at least it was somewhat of a game (for a while), and as much as I don’t like the Patriots, it’s always kind of fun to watch the Bills lose at home (in front of their “Wall of Fame” which of course includes #32, OJ Simpson).
They did show us a few minutes of Atlanta starting from their own 1 inch line or so to kick a winning field goal, so that was good (not that I care about Atlanta – or Carolina, for that matter, but it was at least fun to watch).
But now it’s Monday. Bleh.
My head is still spinning from that WVU v Baylor game Saturday. The Jets game was a little boring in comparison but I need to focus on baseball. I did take some delight in the locals pulling out their own Tebow card. I have a lot of friends who aren’t taking the 0-4 Saints well. Looking forward to the return of the real refs this week.
:rofl2:
My cats like to puke where they are sure I’ll discover it by stepping in it. I have never appreciated their dedication to this.
So, we go to the news Emmy Awards not knowing what to expect this year. As you know here, the boys – father and son- have spent well over a year in Afghanistan. So tonight they hit pay dirt! Mike and Carlos won 2 Emmys! The best part is they won Best News Story of the year. (Like winning best motion picture). Mike as correspondent and Carlos as producer. The war and our troops matter, is how I interpret it.
I’m so thankful their important work was recognized.
I’m also extremely proud – these are number 5& 6 Emmys for Mr FK.
That is outstanding! :pup:
Excellent! Congratulations!
That’s great. Congratulations to them both.
I’m happy real journalism is still recognized :nod:
:bow: to both your men for putting it on the line.
