Cruising

I have paid my deposit to go on a cruise next March! We'll be going on a Wester Caribbean Cruise from Tampa sailing on the cruise ship Inspiration. Many thanks to M-C for setting this up! For those that don't know M-C is a wonderful woman I met several years ago on RCS, she and her husband moved to North Little Rock while her DH taught at the Law School in Little Rock. Sadly they had to move back to FL only a year later. But, we were fast friends and developed a wonderful friendship with Debbie. This will be a wonderful cruise as we will be scrapbooking and enjoying each others company. Debbie and I will be sharing a room, she's used to the sound of a CPAP as her DH has one; hopefully she doesn't snore! LOL I am looking forward to being in the company of so many talented ladies and seeing their scrapbooks!

Dogs???

This is often where you will find our "baby". If you look really close you will see a little pile of dirt by her elbow. While I love her to death it's like a little dust devil visits her and she leaves little or in some cases large piles of dirt where ever she sleeps!

Daniel let Joy out of her crate after we came in from having dinner. I stayed outside and talked while Alan had his "post dinner smoke." Joy came outside, walked into the mud/water (did I mention we've had LOADS of rain here lately?) after I told her to move she sat down in it! LOL Sadly I didn't get the sitting down part, but you can see by her leg just how deep the water was.

Now she is drinking out of the muddy water hole. What is it with dogs??? Why do they feel the need to drink out of something so nasty?

But apparently it was delicious!

I've even notice that the cat who will not drink out of his clean water bowl doesn't mind drinking after the dog, nor as it appears after the rabbits. That's the rabbits water bowl he is drinking out of! What's up with that?? He also drinks out of the scummy pond, the bird bath (but only when I haven't cleaned it out yet), or like the dog he drinks out of pools of muddy water. Go figure!
