Puppies, gnomes and the truth about weighing....

I still haven't caught London in the position I want to. She puts that teddy bear between her paws and "holds" it. It's so freaking cute, but every time she is doing it, I can never get my camera before she moves. Still, it's adorable I think!

I had to take Betsy to the doctor today. She has been sick for a week. Her head hurts, scratchy throat, stuffy nose and now laryngitis (although that could be due to the hours of screaming at the Korn concert! lol). Turns out she has severe allergies and the doctor gave her a bag full of Zyrtec samples along with some nasal spray. Of course, Betsy is already hooked on nose spray....we all are. And we don't use the wimpy stuff either. We use the menthol, eye watering Afrin Severe Congestion. Whooo! That stuff will blow your sinuses out! Of course, she didn't mention to the doc that she uses it, being that they tend to frown upon that. She took her first dose and is now laying down. I hope she feels better soon, poor kid. The mold and pollen is so bad right now, everyone is sneezing....including London. She has been sneezing for two days now. If she isn't better by Monday, I'll take her in too....jeez.

After going to the doctor we went to Walgreen's for the prescriptions and a few odds and ends. Of course that included a $5 of malted milk robin's eggs. Those are the girls favorite Easter candy, and being that Betsy was sick, how could I refuse? She also got a Golden Retriever folder for school. Awwww, it was like she was 7 again! LOL. We then headed to Winn Dixie so that I could get fixins for soup. When we went in they had a set up of lawn things....and I saw the gnomes. They were so cute! Usually they have freaky faces....I'm rather picky about the facial features on my gnomes....and I liked these. I picked them up and happily put them into my basket. Of course the minute I unpacked them at home my mother, who stopped by, made fun of me and my husband put them in an x-rated position (as you saw in the pics above). Well, I don't really care because....I love my gnomes! LOL.

JB was off today, but it rained and was cold, so tomorrow we will head to the beach with London. It's only supposed to be 65 but that's okay. It will make for a nice day. Right now it's cloudy and rainy....I didn't get to take my walk....which reminds me....

I forgot to mention how exactly I weighed myself. You see, I do not own a scale, as I get depressed if I don't see the weight coming off and then ditch the diet. So....I go by how my clothes feel. I knew I had lost weight, but wasn't sure how much. I was a bit curious....so when we went to the vet, and the aid had finished with London's stats and we were waiting for the Vet to come in....I figured if those big scales can hold a mastiff, they can certainly hold me! I sat for a few minutes, deciding if I should do it. I mean, how embarassing would it be if a.) the vet walked in on me or b.) I sat on the scale and it came crashing down. However, the suspense was killing me so I listened at the door, then quickly sat on the scale. I read my weight and was thrilled....and after a minute or so, I tried it again just to be sure. So....according to the vet scale, I've lost 6 "dog pounds". Can I get a Woof?
