True Love

 For all of my blogging friends that
actually, started following me
after I lost my best bud, then you did not 
get to learn about 
Dakota 
AKA
THE KING
and for those that knew of him,
I am going to refresh your memory.

I got Tiger Lily
AKA
Lily Bit
because my dog needed a pet.
Yep, you read that correctly.
Dakota has spent ten years being 
dropped off at my moms on my way 
to work, but when I retired, that
stopped and he got to acting
like a grumpy old man.

These pics were taken just a few
days after Lily came to live
wtih us.
He was ten, she was 12 weeks.

You could not have asked for
an better of a relationship.
They loved each other from 
the start.
It was a BIG chance I was taking
cause as a kid and teen I had been
really allergic to cats. The 2nd reason 
was cause the only cats Dakota had
ever been around was the ones he
chased out of the yard. 

But, within an hour of these
two being together, they were
wrestling.
For the first year of her life,
Lily slept either leaning up
next to Dakota or
reaching out her paw to touch
him as she slept.
Honestly, the last three years
of Dakota's life was happy and he
was well loved by not only me,
but by Lily.

Lily would even hang out at the door
waiting for Dakota to come back
in from the bathroom.
Nap time for Dakota, Lily
was settling in and about to 
nap with him.

Lily just wanted to be 
near him.
I miss these two together.

As you can see in the pic
below, not much changed as
Lily grew.
When I grew up, if you had a dog
and cat, one usually lived outside.
I don't remember ever hearing 
of dogs and cats living together 
like this.

Check out Dakota's paw, like
she is saying, "this is my best
friend"....





Special love between a dog
and a cat.

I miss my bud so much and 
I am sure Lily Bit does
too.

The Rest of Today

Image
After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after him. I had to snap a pic of Kelley making sure that I got

Hot Water Heater Mishaps

Image
 As I stated the hot water heater sprung a leak, from the bottom.  My younger brother came to help  with the issue. Problem, the  value at the bottom where you screw in  the hose to drain the tank, was  all clogged up.  It sets so close to the bottom  that it is hard to slip a  bucket under to catch water if we were to get the clog undone. There was no moving it till water was drained off the tank. We opened the top value, and leaned it over to drain into buckets. I have a great big  plastic tub, like this one. We filled it by leaning the  hot water heater over. Finally got enough off to be able to slid onto the two wheeler  and move out of the garage. Once we had it there,  we lowered it to the ground and let it finish with the drain. Mark went to Lowes and got another one, installed it and  had me up and running. The damage had been done though. With the unit on the  other side of the BR, water came under the wall and flooded the BR,  and the carpet in the den.  Yes, the same two roo
