Tiffiny Federico

My parents bought our house in the 70s and boy howdy did we have crazy wallpaper in every room— flocked, foil, you name it. Our downstairs bathroom was dubbed the Through the Looking Glass room. Bronze, gold & rust patterned foil paper. Mom painted the cabinets orange. It was wild.

I miss it.

I know that It’s caturday, but my cat refuses to grace me with her presence today. Hannah, on the other hand, is happy to celebrate her 10th week being a Federico. She love everything about it, especially the backyard!

Gorgeous!

Sounds like a great panel. Wish I could have been there.

Have you tried using the massage gun on the bottom of your feet? 🦶 so many nerve endings there. It helps relax muscles all over your body. Highly recommended.

100%

So tiny! So cute!

CHARGE!!!

We got a new TV in the living room. I didn't consider it broken in until we watched the trilogy. My favorite part is the very beginning when Galadriel tells the history of the ring.

Hannah, our new German shepherd mix, is lounging on the lawn. She has a new chew toy by her front paws.

Hannah, our German Shepherd mix, is all cozy on her bed. She is taking a nap after her zoomies in the yard. There are several toys scattered around her.

Hannah as been a part of our family for 2 weeks now. She has fit right in. She is enjoying the back yard immensely.

We really lucked out with her. She has a sweet nature and learns quickly. She is very gentle with both of my parents.

Yes, definitely German shepherd, but her head looks different. Our previous dog was a husky. Loved her to bits.

What kind of dog? Her face looks like my dogs face & I’m trying to figure out what my dog is a mix of.

My new little rescue has learned what “walkies” are & what the leash means. It’s adorable

Just thought you should know 😉

This movie is so much fun. I think I'll put it on my 'gotta watch before school starts" list.

Sounds like a scene from a screwball comedy.

Sending you calming vibes!

I can confirm that. I had to go to the ER the first time I used my current vegetable peeler. Doctor was mad I didn’t bring the piece of flesh I peeled off. He had to use wound blue. My fingertip eventually healed. I now have great respect for anything that slices.

My father greets his new dog. The German Shepherd was very gentle with him, understanding he is older and fragile.

My dad is napping on a recliner. Hannah his new German Shepherd is curled up next to his chair resting & waiting for scratches. Both are content.

She truly is bringing joy!
We lost our husky 6 weeks ago. My father has dementia & he has been looking for Scully & calling her name over and over. Devastated each time we tell her she’s gone. Today he was happy to pet a dog, even if he couldn’t remember her name.

Meet Hannah. The newest member of our family! She’s lovely!

Today I convinced my mom we can go to the shelter and adopt a dog tomorrow! I don’t think I’ll sleep at all tonight.

This is what I see when she speaks.

A blurry shot of a brown & white husky running & leaping over a lawn strewn with lots of clumps of fur. That undercoat is a bitch when it blows out.

I understand. I had a husky…

After my cat had surgery, I had to get a cooling gel mat (keep in freezer until needed) for her to lie on to keep her fever down. On hot summer days/nights I'd pull it out and she was all over it. Being too hot is just awful for any living being.

We just had the house painted & my mom (80) was ruthless as she weeded her bookshelves. “I just don’t see myself reading this before I die” & boom it was put in the donation pile! She cleared out A LOT of books & stuff last week.

The best one I ever had I picked up in a bin in China Town. That thing got me through many a hot flash.

Migraines are a bane on life! May yours rapidly evaporate and never return!

My Scully LOVED walkies in the rain. Me, not so much.

You might have to take one for the team.

I feel you. I have watched my family (on both my Mom's & Dad's side) dwindle. My Dad has dementia and in the past 2 years he has lost his last 2 siblings and 2 nephews. He keeps asking about them and relives the grief of losing them anew. It's heartbreaking.

My former principal took me (teacher/instructional coach) to a district wide meeting about the new standards (2002), new textbooks, & ELA curriculum. I got kicked out for questioning their assertion that longer texts & novels were not necessary. Thinking about it 20+ years later & I’m still angry 😡

Even when my Scully was old and had a bum knee, she still wanted her walkies.
