Shall we go for a spare now?

No, my husband does not abuse me. He's actually a wonderful husband. He doesn't do dishes, but he's still wonderful.

That bruise, on my left elbow, and the matching bigger bruise, on my left hip bone, is the result of my 90 something pound dog using me as a bowling pin.

She wanted to go bowling, in the dark, saw me standing there and ran full speed ahead until I flew in the air and landed on the concrete walkway in front of my house. She ended up with a strike. Me, as you can see, ended up with something else.

Because of the pain on my left side, I was forced to sleep on my right side for 3 days and as a result of THAT, I had severe neck pain on my right side because I couldn't sleep on my left side.

All this because my wonderful guard dog wanted to go cow tipping and I wouldn't let her.

Cinni mini's story

Hi ya'll! Welcome to my homestead. I'm glad ya'll came by. Now let me tell you a little about what happens here. You see, I have four humans. Two are big, I call 'em my momma & daddy. The other two humans are small, I call them AB and UB. Now them humans are some nice people you know. But sometimes them little humans just wear me out. I mean, sometimes they think I'm a horse and want a 'ride', I'm still not quite sure what that means, so I just sit down because well, they are a little heavy you know.

Now let me show you how I walk right now. Not everyone can walk and run on three legs, but yessiree bob, I sure can. I've got no problem at all hoppin' along on sometimes two legs. You see, my little human AB was riding his dirt bike. Now, I saw him doing tricks and all and UB was as well, but I knew AB wanted to go higher up you know. So I ran to him because I was going to be a doggie ramp, and I guess he didn't see me 'cuz next thing you know, my left rear leg is a hurtin'. Now it's not AB's fault you know, he was riding with that big thing on his head and didn't see me, I'm quite fast.

So see? There's lots going on 'round here. Anybody wanna play twister with me?

No? OK, I'll just lay here and guard my homestead. Thanks for stoppin' by. Come again real soon.

Cinnamon with a twist

This is Cinnamon. Cinnamon likes to do stuff that drives us crazy. This is Cinnamon trying to get warm inside our house. Here is her story.
This is Cinnamon's nice comfy cozy house. Keeps the dirt and wind away. Keeps her warm when it's cold and dry when it's wet.

This is one of three blankets that are supposed to go inside Cinnamon's house. She drags them out of her house to the front of our house. Every evening, Hubster goes and gathers all the blankets and puts them back in her house. But by the next morning, they are back all over the yard again.

This is the chair that she prefers to sleep on. It is 28 degrees outside and still she sleeps on this chair. She is guarding her house as well as ours from this nice and comfy chair. The chair that doesn't stop the wind from blowing dirt on her or the rain from getting her wet.

I'm sorry!Do you still love me?

Sweet dawg

Do you like her "guard her" belt?

This is what I call a redneck garter belt.

The boys decided they were going to dress up Cinnamon just a little. Amazingly she just lets them do what they want with her. She kept this contraption on until I decided she had been a good sport long enough.

I've been pretty tired with Hubster out of town. It seems like I always have extra work to do when he's not around. I wonder why!

The boys have been good. For a change. Cinnamon has been ornery. Must have been pay back from the belt issue.

I spend a good amount of time cleaning the mess she had made outside.

She has a nice comfy house on the back porch. This house has 3 nice and warm blankets that are supposed to keep her warm. For some reason, she takes all the blankets out and drags them out all around the house.

Hubster says this makes us look like white trash, but I beg to differ since I'm Mexican. I can think of many other things.

Each blanket is set up in it's own primitive location due to the way the sun shines. She has to sunbathe and just goes from blanket to blanket during the day.

I still have pumpkins outside that I need to make more pumpkin bread with. But I guess I won't anymore, because Cinnamon has been placing them as decorations around her blankets.

I had left a cooler outside and forgot about it. I don't know why, it's not like I have much to do around here. As we get ready to go to karate, I notice that she had dumped the cooler over and there were several water bottles that I had failed to get out of the cooler. She got a hold of them and was having a drinking party at night. These water bottles were everywhere. All chewed up and the lids were unrecognizable.

Dogs are just like children. Wanting attention and doing whatever just to get it. She looked at me with her big brown sad eyes and I couldn't help but love on her. Sweet dog.

Personal trainer for hire!

"Trust in God. Lean on your God!

Isaiah 50:10

*********************************************
The cows next door have been complaining of losing weight. They say that their personal trainer is working them like a dog. They say that they are not allowed to stand still for long periods of time. They even say that their babies are being told that they have too much baby fat.

Their owners have told them they are losing too much weight. They don't have enough meat on their bones for America to eat.

So the personal trainer has been fired and they are now on a high fat diet filled with grains, special fattening grass and what not.

Now there is a personal trainer that needs a job. Anyone need someone to make them work out like a dog?

She'd lick all your pounds away!!!
