Miss Boss'em Blossom has had another full week, and it's only Thursday!

On her birthday we went out for Chicken Samiches and Vanilla Ice Cream. Blossom and I found a table and Cindi went in to order. A family seated nearby was really checking Blossom out. Lot's of smiles and pointing led to them come over and meet her. As they started reaching out to her, she stiffened up a bit, but "let" them pet her. There were smiles all around and they left happy. 

20 minutes later a mom, her daughter and her 2 daughters came over. With lot's of giggles and hands petting her, Blossom "put up" with it. They also left smiling, and Blossom had her birthday dinner and desert. 

A couple of evenings later, we threw Blossom in the truck and headed off to Baskin Robbins. It's on the outside of a mall with tables and chairs and a good amount of foot traffic. Blossom and I found a table and Cindi went inside. A couple came up and said their dog just lost his front leg to cancer. They knew about TRIPAWDS and were so impressed with "you know who." Blossom really responded to them, perking up her ears and looking at them as they sat with her. We chatted for a couple of minutes, and they headed inside. They were in line with Cindi and the conversation turned to "you know who." 

Cindi brought our ice cream out and said, "they bought our ice cream!" I said, if I knew that we'd bought a couple of gallons to take home.

On their way out they gave Blossom some more hugs and left. Not 5 minutes later another couple stopped by and Blossom perked her ears up and looked like she was really enjoying meeting new people. Several more people stopped and spent some time with her, she did great! On our way to the car two other folks stopped us and as they bent over to pet her, she moved behind Cindi. On the next try, everything went well!

Blossoms come a long way and we're really proud of her! 

It's the middle of the afternoon on a gorgeous autumn day and the "girls" have been playing for hours. That means bringing in any twig, rock, plant root, chewed up toy or random sock they have "procured." But what they really enjoy, is shredding any piece of paper, cardboard or magazine that we foolishly put in the recycle bin. Sometimes even poor Dusty has been influenced by "them" and joins in their debauchery. 

Yes, they are a "bad influence" on poor, sweet, Dusty. Rosy, on the other hand, would never, ever, partake in such foolery. She watches, disapprovingly, all this from Mom's couch, while guarding her ball.

Worn out and content, they lay among the carnage they have created. 

Ya, they do all that stuff, and more, but sure are cute!

Gonna be a rough few days for the girls' starting tomorrow. I know it's a good thing...I just have to keep telling myself that.

Daisy has her spay appointment tomorrow, she has to be there between 8:15 and 8:45 IN THE MORNING! I told them we're retired; we don't get up that early. They said, well, you'll need to make an exception. Cindi told me, yes, we'll be there, and something about with bells on?

I'm really dreading it, I don't do well seeing our "kids" hurting. I would think they'll send some drugs home with Daisy to help with the pain and such, who do I ask if they have anything for my pain and suffering?

Boss'em Blossom has hers the next day. I have no idea when we need to be there for hers. She'll probably look at Daisy when she comes home and leave! Also, she will be upset about not getting her breakfast!

The house is going to be pretty quiet while they heal up...maybe that's not such a bad thing?
