Good morning Dianne & MayMay 🙂 All my plans for today will be put off until tomorrow. Thinking about going outside and seeing what I want to do there. The trash service changed our pick up day from Monday to Wednesday. Hope everyone has a great day! | |

Hi Dianne, Both Matt and Cory are also german shepherds. And I'm also allowed to take them to work with me. 🙂 I work at a bar but my boss lets me bring Matt and Cory to work with me because everyone loves them so much and they are very well behaved. 🙂 I don't take them to work with me everyday though. I mostly only take them to work with me on the weekends. 🙂 And when I do take them to work with me they mostly hangout behind the bar with me while I'm working. 🙂 | |

Hi Tillie, Thank you so much for good thoughts for grandson. I just love him to pieces. 🙂 One of the reasons I quit my job years ago was that my animals' care at home needed more attention. I was working at a kennel/emergency vet. I thought, I was putting so much time into other people's animals which I dearly loved (and I could take my German Shepherds to work with me) but my babies at home deserved as much or more. I also left to help my daughter with the premie twins who came home hooked to wires everywhere. Hit by drunk driver. That news story from New York is tragically familiar to us. 🙁 Cleaning the hoard gets neglected because animals care comes first. It comes before my care too which isn't so good. The cats love the hoard because they can play jungle kitties and have lots of hiding places. We rotate the little dogs and the big dogs in and out (3 well fenced acres) and their areas inside are kept clean and clear. They navigate the goat trails everywhere else very well. What keeps me from adding more is that I want to outlive them. All except 4 cats should be gone within 10 years. If I die sooner money and homes are lined up. Although my vet gives me 50% off expenses are still crazy. In the past couple years I've turned down requests to accept more because all the ones here now are a good balance and as they age I don't want to stress them. One of the Shepherds is considered dangerous to smaller animals so we have a solid system to keep him with his brother or people only. So today's chores are daily maintainence which includes washing floors in kitchen, breakfast room, laundryroom and dog room. I'm actually liking this schedule with the back and forth between 2 houses. The little bit of pressure to get it all done is motivating. Hope everyone has a good day. 🙂 | |

Hi Dianne 🙂 You sure have a lot of animal tasks! By posting our plans here we become accountable to who ever reads and sometimes that is all it takes for us to make sure to complete our tasks. 🙂 Sorry you can't come to chat 🙁 | |
| Dianne | Posted: 03 March 2013 - 01:10 PM |
Tillie I like reading your daily check-ins letting us know your plans. I'll try that and see if it helps motivate me. Today, Sunday, I have a few more hours at home than I will during the week. I can't do online chat on their computer. You guys take good care. 🙂 | |

Winter returned over night. He bought me a red rose bush and I was planning to plant it today. Oh Well! I always worry when he brings me gifts. Today my plan is to scrub sanitize and refill the two cat litter boxes. Then find something fun to do. 😀 | |
| Tillie | Posted: 03 March 2013 - 11:30 AM |
I agree. 🙂 | |

Hey Lillie, | |
| Lillie | Posted: 02 March 2013 - 08:57 PM |
LOL. As a future "extreme cleaner" I suggest you poke yourself in the nose next time. I have a relatively clean hoard, something I am quite proud of really, 🙂 I don't hoard trash, animals and their feces and rotting food, but that day could come, there but for the grace of god go I, as they say. But you will, certainly, need your eyes, so be careful. I poke myself in the eye with some frequency ... sometimes I can even manage to put my glasses on without poking myself in the eye. It hurts, and then there's the temporary blindness and all the tearing. Better to poke yourself in the nose next time, I think. | |
| MayMay | Posted: 02 March 2013 - 08:24 PM |
OUCH!!!!! I just accidentally poked myself in the eye. Luckily I can still see out of it though. 🙂 As a future extreme cleaner, it would be really bad if I went blind. Because if I went blind I wouldn't be able to see what I was cleaning. Lol. 🙂 | |

Good morning 🙂 I have no idea what I will be doing today. Going to go have some fun! 😀 | |
| Tillie | Posted: 02 March 2013 - 11:02 AM |
MayMay, | |

Hey Tillie, WOW! 7 loads worth of laundry to do in his hamper?! And then another 5 or 6 loads of laundry scattered throughout his room?! 😮 That's a lot of laundry! And I thought my room was bad! Lol. 😉 | |
| Tillie | Posted: 01 March 2013 - 07:54 PM |
Thanks MayMay 🙂 Since today is his birthday (55) This should make him good and angry 😀 lol | |
| MayMay | Posted: 01 March 2013 - 11:37 AM |
Hey Tillie, LOL. 😀 Sure I'll come over and clean your hoarders bedroom. I'd be happy to do it. 🙂 | |
| Tillie | Posted: 01 March 2013 - 11:26 AM |
Good morning MayMay, come here today and clean my hoarder's bedroom. LOL 😀 | |
| MayMay | Posted: 01 March 2013 - 08:11 AM |
I'm sooooo EXCITED for next weekend! 🙂 Next weekend I get to go to Houston, Texas. 🙂 I'm sooooo EXCITED and glad that I get to help another hoarder and that I get to be away from Ohio for 2 weeks. 🙂 I even booked an appointment to have a spa day during the second week that I am there. 🙂 I will miss Matt and Cory while I'm in Texas though. 🙁 | |

Good morning 🙂 Another lovely day here. Need to figure out what I want to eat then cook it. Yesterday evening I was standing at the window admiring how nicely my garden area was coming along with all the raking and pruning I have been doing. That is what I love most about living here. | |

OMG! I just found out about the shark attack that happened in New Zealand yesterday! 😮 In May I will be going to Hawaii for 3 weeks. And one of the things that I planned on doing while I'm there, is to go snorkeling in the ocean. But now I don't think I want to go snorkeling when I'm in Hawaii anymore. Because I don't want to get attacked by a shark! | |
| Tillie | Posted: 28 February 2013 - 10:55 AM |
Hi Dianne 🙂 Sounds like you have a great plan going there. Let us know how your decluttering is going. 🙂 | |
| Dianne | Posted: 28 February 2013 - 08:54 AM |
Hi everybody, Sorry I missed the last two chats. My daughter, son-in-law and grandson (Jakey just turned 6) left for Minnesota on Sunday. Jakey had a 6 hour spinal surgery yesterday to help with CP. I am taking care of my grandaughter Anna (Jakey's twin sister) in their home. He'll be in the hospital for 6 weeks with daily therapy and another 3 months of therapy 5 days a week when he comes home. So my great plan is to get Anna to school, get back here, treat cleaning my hoard as a job and get back to pick her up and do the evening routine and spend the night there. Her Dad will be home on a varying schedule since his job requires him to travel a lot this time of year. My daughter Laura will need to take on more responsibility here while I'm gone. Today is off to a good start. Bright sunshine, nice temperature and thankfully I had a good night's sleep. Tillie I see you're back and look forward to getting to know you! 🙂 take care all ~~ Dianne | |

Good morning 🙂 I'm thinking about going outside again today. Getting out in the fresh air & sunshine does so much to improve a persons mood and general outlook on life. My daffodils are starting to send up their leaves. Spring will soon be here. YEA! 😀 Have some fun today whatever you are doing. 🙂 | |

Hey Tillie, Lol. 🙂 I love ferrets! I really want to get a ferret. But I'm kind of scared that if I do get a ferret, then Cory and Matt might try to eat it. Lol. | |
| Tillie | Posted: 26 February 2013 - 06:12 PM |
Was probably a mouse playing the guitar. | |
| MayMay | Posted: 26 February 2013 - 11:22 AM |
Me, Matt, and Cory just got woken up by the weirdest noise. We woke up to what sounded like someone strumming my guitar. At first I thought that it was just my head playing tricks on me or something. But once I saw Cory and Matt react to it, that was when I realized that the noise I heard was real. It was so CREEPY! | |

Good morning 🙂 Just as it was warming up nicely yesterday the wind started blowing. That wind was extremely cold. So I didn't get to go outside. Going to try again today. He took today off from work because he has to take care of a speeding ticket and not having proof of insurance in the car when he was pulled over. I know, I'm evil. 😉 Anyways, have some fun today. | |
| Tillie | Posted: 26 February 2013 - 12:47 AM |
Thanks MayMay 😀 | |

WELCOME BACK TILLIE!!!!! 😀 | |
| Tillie | Posted: 25 February 2013 - 11:29 AM |
Good morning 🙂 Not planning on doing a lot today. There is the tiny area right in front of the house where I have flowers, bushes and a small patch of grass that I maintain. When I look out the front window I can see my garden and all the lovely birds that come to visit. Last night's chatroom was fun. A lot of nice people were there. Have a pleasant day! 🙂 | |
