Cecil's Cookie Search
"Let me tell you I've got a taste for all kinds of delectables, not just carrots and apples, but watermelon, bananas, granola bars, gatorade..."
"I've been standing here while Kim grooms my gorgeous tail forEVER now, so I think if I'm going to get a treat I better find it myself."
"SURELY she keeps the horse cookies somewhere around here..."

Crafty Owen
I found this kneeling chair for free on craigslist. Its fabric had been pretty well demolished by the previous owner's cats (my dogs thought it was AWESOME) and so I made a trip to the local thrift shop and bought someone's old curtains. Owen re-upholstered the chair for me this weekend and I love it. Hurrah for crafty Owen!

Say What?
Yesterday was spent tack shopping in town - I was attempting to sell some of my old stuff that I know I'll never use again at a used tack sale fundraiser for the CSU rodeo team. I unfortunately didn't sell anything, it wasn't well advertised and I don't think very well attended by those looking to purchase items.
On the other hand, since it was Bethnie and me with her daughter (age 4) we had some hilarious moments in the car. Her daughter, Phoenix, is always interrupting her when she's talking to another adult, so it's a pretty common thing to hear Bethnie saying, "do you hear me talking?" to Phoenix. As we were discussing something in the car Phoenix loudly interrupted us, Bethnie ignored her and continued our conversation, and Phoenix shouted, "Mommy, do you hear me TALKING?!"
Kia had a vet appointment too, and I offered to let Phoenix come in with me rather than Bethnie having to take her to Home Depot to run their errands if that would be easier for Bethnie. Bethnie responded no, that she'll bring Phoenix with her and pick up me and the dog when they were done. Phoenix piped up from the back, "No, I want to go with Kim!", to which Bethnie responded, "You're going to come with me to the store." Phoenix then declared, "Mommy, you're a big girl, you can do it yourself." Do you think she's heard that one before?
