Was sad to hear about Cleo, that little black grand-baby of yours, but she lived a long and much loved life. When we had to put our last dog down, I went in with her while they gave her the injection, I was patting her head till she was gone. A very sad day for us, and for weeks I could have sworn I heard her (her nails hitting the tile) coming across the tile floor to come sit with me in the living room. Now we have our new little Greeley, but I still miss her at times, she was old like us, a couch potato, the new dog wants to play all the time, some times gets a little crazy. It's sunny outside, but cool. I am thinking about what I should make for breakfast, wondering if I can get my husband to make it instead. He always makes bacon & eggs sandwiches, but if I don't have to make them, I'll go for it !!! On my second cup of coffee, trying to drink less coffee, but it seems every evening I get a caffeine headache. I am wondering how long it will take for my body to get use to less caffeine ??? When I drink to much coffee, I am up way to late, so that's why less coffee. Going to try and work on more genealogy today, it's kind of cold in spite of the sunny day, so it's good for me. Have a good Sunday where ever you are !!!! Sully, in sunny California

Sully, I used to be able to drink coffee at night and go right to bed, of course I was quite a bit younger. I can remember my brother and family coming over on Friday eve. if we all didn't have to work the next day and maybe not go home until 11 or 12 and we would maybe have 2 pots of coffee. I am not sure if we had the elec. pot then or made it on the stove. But his wife didn't drink coffee so it was just the three of us. Yes, it is so hard with those darn dogs. Even though she didn't live here besides the vacations they went on she would be here at least every other week end. I swear when I come in the back door I can hear her running across the porch into the kitchen. Almost see her laying there by the stove. She was a sweet heart. Since she got old like us she was taking more naps. That was fine with me. I could never get up in the night with a puppy. I hear now they have paper or something you can put on the floor and they will go on there, but not sure just how that happens. I told them when they get another one I won't baby sit as to old for a puppy. She got in the habit of sleeping on the bed when they first brought her home, of course she was used to her mama and brothers and sisters. She had read if you have them by the bed and put your hand down with them they won't cry. Well that didn't work, I think you need to put them in another room where you can't hear them. Any way she put her up beside her and of course that worked, so the habit was started. She even wanted her head on the pillow. At least we have good memories of her. When they worked the kitchen door has two doors you can close, so they would put papers down and close the doors so she just had the kitchen. Put the doggie door in and she caught on to that good. She hated cats, of course Carol would have her chase them out of the yard. So our two stray cats here she would want to chase and I wouldn't let her. The one cat would come up to her and want to rub noses and Cleo would get so up set since she couldn't chase it. It was like how dare you touch me, you are a cat! Strong wind again today. Ken is trying to cut some more of the wood cut up. Wind just to strong and cold for me. Inside. I go and check ever so often, but can't make him come in. Well need to get something done today. Some days just don't feel like it. Maybe getting a little lazy. Oh no, that couldn't be.
