May not feel the heat, but watching the dancing flames can still warm the heart.
Behind a show of defiance can actually lie fears that one doesn’t want to admit!

They have perfected the skill of sleeping! I am looking at our 13 year old Sheltie sleeping right now. I wonder how she can sleep so much, but than again, she is old! She’s earned the right to sleep. š

And then the slightest noise from the pantry where the treats are kept, and the are wide awake, dashing into the kitchen with tails wagging.

Sooo true! Or start frying an egg and suddenly they are right beside you! Dead to the world one minute and bright eyed and bushy tailed the next! I wish I could be so quickly alert when I wake up. I don’t make a mad dash for anything when just waking up!

Sometimes my dogs gather around me when I am in the kitchen. It is kind of insulting the way they expect me to drop food on the floor.

You should feel honored by the attention.
You know you have to give into those puppy dog eyes that they give you!

I too, have huddled around a cozy looking, fireplace screensaver, hoping the flames would warm me up. Doesn’t work. What does work is waiting for my wife to leave the house, so I can turn up the thermostat.

Didn’t he promise you a helmet, once?

Actually I think it was you that promised that he could make me one! Sooo where is it???
But actually I am afraid that would backfire! My husband would get too much laughter out of seeing me get a helmet! He would probably tell me to wear it while driving!

All I can say is I think I’ll have to renege on my promise. Therefore, you must punish Jason by doing a screen-grab of his comment, and then holding it over his head for the rest of eternity.

You are sooo baad! Make him take the blame for your failed promise??
I don’t have leverage to use against him, for he said that it was okay to leave it.
I can make you a promise though…..
If you ever make a typo like he did, don’t even think of asking me to correct it. You will be sooo out of luck! š Because let me see, how many typos of mine have you corrected??
