image (7)I think all my shoes have poop on them.  I’m not complaining.  I’m just passing on this observation I had yesterday while getting ready to go to Bar Method class.

If you doggie sit you pick up a lot of poop.  More than you would expect.

I had an ex-boyfriend who stepped in dog poop and was such a whiny weirdo about it he tossed his, not so inexpensive shoes, out the car door and left them by the curb.  If I was such a wimp I’d have to purchase shoes daily.

Sometimes I wish I could just poop wherever I wanted like the dogs do.  They have it so easy.

Don’t you think it is somewhat unfair that you have to pick up dog poop but horses and coyotes can carelessly poop up the trails all they want?  Coyotes should be held accountablephoto (5) for their poop.  With all it’s delicious 1/2 digested berries it is a huge distraction for dogs who are casually walking along and decide they are hungry.

I still believe it when Dr. Drew says dogs mouths are cleaner than humans.  I’ve been on paths with “delicious” coyote poop and dogs and have seen what happens.  STILL I believe him.  THAT is how much I believe in Dr. Drew.  Today is Dr. Drew’s birthday.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY!  Please enjoy these adorable pictures of Riggins, Morgan, Asscher, Dexter and Dragon on your special day.

Downton Abbey Love

Since Time Warner Cable (my internet AND cable TV provider) and CBS are having a ridiculous spat and the summer shows (of which I watch many) are coming to an end I have less to watch from my DVR (anyone worth anything watches TV time shifted vs. live).  It’s simply horrific.  CBS itself isn’t really loss in the summer months but Showtime is a real shame.  I was caught up in the finale season of Dexter and the premiere season of Ray Donovan when my signal was pulled and I was thrown into cable darkness.  I honestly don’t know which of the two gazillion dollar companies I hate more.  It is a hard choice so I choose to hate them both.  I am nothing if not fair.

It is extra aggravating that CBS, in its need to be as petty as possible, took away Time Warner Cable Internet users the ability to watch their programs online.  I feel like this is a HUGE opportunity miss.  They could easily take advantage of this time to become the King of TV on the Internet but alas, no one has that kind of creative thinking when a money war is going on.

Luckily for me I can watch Under the Dome online with my Amazon Prime subscription (I don’t subscribe to Hulu Plus nor do I have Netflix).  So TAKE THAT TIME WARNER CABLE!  Honestly at this point I’m not even missing Showtime and think I can probably cancel it all together without being that sad.  Oops …. not quite the viewer reaction you were looking for during your little quarrel …

After I caught up on Under the Dome and realized nothing on my DVR was very exciting (I wouldn’t dare watch live TV … don’t be ridiculous) I decided to dive into another series that Amazon Prime was offering.  It was between Breaking Bad (which I have never seen) and Downton Abbey (which I, also, have never seen).  I choose Downton Abbey.  Yes yes yes … I know… EVERYONE loves Breaking Bad.  I get it.  It’s just Downton Abbey seems to fit my sensibilities more than the angry drug show.  Don’t get your feathers ruffled.  I’m sure I’ll get to it sometime in the future.

I just finished the first season of Downton Abbey and I’m very pleased with my choice.  Here are my thoughts so far:

  • Every single episode is just heart breaking.  Seriously my heart hurts and almost every episode has me in tears.  So much unrequited love.  I just want to slap some characters in the face and say “kiss her (or him depending on who I smacked).
  • I’d marry Matthew in a heartbeat … I N   A   H E A R T B E A T!
  • Lady Mary and I would definitely be BFFs.
  • I’m  madly in love with Mr. Bates although his extreme morals make me ridiculously aggravated at him (I am assuming he ends up in jail at some point since you search his character name on the internet and you get “FREE MR. BATES” sites).
  • I know that some beloved character died this last season as Twitter was all a-twat about it.  I can’t remember who it was and I’m horrified to get to that part (I feel like its the Red Wedding of Downton Abbey).  Unless it’s Thomas that dies.  I’m okay

    with that.  That dude is an asshat.

  • Dressing for dinner each night would be exhausting even with a lady’s maid.  I assume my normal attire of yoga pants and tank top would not be suitable.
  • I’m sad corsets are no longer considered the “norm” for women.  They look so darn good on. (I know that goes against my yoga pants attire but if I gotta wear those dresses I might as well look good in them.)
  • I’d appreciate it if the darling lab of Downton Abbey received more screen time.
  • War is coming and I’m scared!

There you go!  One gals opinion on the season of a show that originally ran in 2010!  DON’T TELL ME WHAT HAPPENS …

Unmade Bed Vs. Poo Foot

There are a few things in this world that make me realize humans can be real suckers.  Sushi, for example.  It’s super overpriced RAW fish … you realize you are all getting scammed right?  Or any cup of coffee over 75 cents.  Personally, I’ll never get over paying for bottled water.  One of the things that always puzzles me is making the bed in the morning.  Making a bed in a room that you will spend very little time in before you are going to jump in and mess that bed up all over again seems a bit futile doesn’t it?

photo (4)With all my dog watching I have gotten much better at my daily bed making.  I make my bed and then throw another sheet over it to “lock” it from any furry beast that may jump up on it during the day.  If at all possible I try to cut down on the number of dog hairs I lay my head on at night!  The last couple of days Riggins and I haven’t had any dogs to host so I haven’t been as gung-ho to take the time to make the bed before jumping in it again either later that day for a quick nap or that night for a long snooze.  During this time I’ve had to admit to myself that I would much rather crawl into a messy bed then a strictly made one.  When I make my bed I tuck in the corners and straighten everything out, as I assume you do.  Then when I get in I have to PUSH my legs down to the bottom and flail around for a bit to get everything untucked, comfy, and wrapped around me (or not).  It’s such a pain!  When my bed is just a giant pile of pillows and blankets I can jump in, pull what I want over me, kick off pillows, and snuggle into my own personal human birdie nest.  In the morning I take anything that got pushed off the bed during the night and throw it on top to be snuggled in again later that day.  If a dog takes a blanket, or for that matter all my blankets, I just grab my afghan (that doesn’t live on the bed) wrap myself up in a burrito and lie back down in my own personal comfy cocoon!

Dexter (cocker spaniel) is staying with us again today.  As soon as he showed up we headed off for a hike.  Once home I forced Riggins and him to pose for pictures for this post.  That is when I noticed that Riggins paw was covered in goop.  When I say goop I’m going to have to assume it is animal poop with mother nature attached to it (leaves, twigs, etc.).  He also smelled a lot like dead animal.  AND HE IS HAPPILY HANGING OUT ON MY UNMADE AND UNLOCKED BED!!!  AAAAAAAAHHHHH! (At one point in our adventure I stopped to take pictures of Dexter and me.  When I turned around Riggins had made his way upstream and off trail.  I assume that is where he picked up the dead animal scent and poo foot.)

Now I not only have to give Riggins a bath and make my bed I also have to change the sheets.  Gross.  Thanks a lot Riggins!  Way to screw up a perfectly good “not doing that chore” excuse!
