I am dog sitting at my mom's neighbor's house until Wednesday. They have a Golden Retriever and his name is Titan. He is a blond as you can tell. They have a tabby cat named Pan but she is a little more elusive then the big galoot. I will try to catch a picture of her. I seemed to be a little more prepared this time around. In the past, I would just wing it and then leave their house at o'dark hundred and go to my apt. to get ready for work which was a lot of driving back and forth. They live about 12 miles away from my apt.
Titan a.k.a. Big Boy
Their backyard is a Hummingbird Highway. They have a couple of feeders and if you are sitting out there you can hear their buzzing wings and they come like every two minutes. It is amazing and the picture does not do it justice. They even get in little fights over the feeders and all you hear is the buzzzzzzz of their wings.
I am feeling queasy for some reason. I threw up 3 times yesterday morning and could not eat all day. I tried some cereal and yogurt and both where a no go. I did have tea or my head would have caved in from the lack of caffeine. I did manage to have some saltines and 7-up so I did get a few calories in during the day and then had a quesadilla with chicken and cheese for dinner. The bad part is since I take insulin I HAVE to eat or my blood sugar gets way low and that is not good.
I meant to mention it last week but Dave got me flowers last Monday because he knew I was having a rough day (it was the anniversary of my Dad's death) They still look great after a week don't they? He has been so good about getting me flowers lately :-D You can never get too many flowers right?
Flowers from Dave 4/12/10
It is pouring down rain here today and I was contemplating going to dinner with my mom but I am rethinking it because I am still not feeling well and the weather is crappy. We shall see how the day pans out. Until next time...
I am so relived that HG is gone - sweet that he was so grateful to you, but it was past time for him to move on! Yay - you have your apartment back!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry you're not feeling well - hope today is better.
Pretty flowers from a very thoughtful Dave!
Chin up lovey!
ReplyDeleteYou're right, you can never get too many flowers. They are beautiful. Hope you feel better soon x
ReplyDeleteI love hummingbirds too...when we were stationed in Southern Missouri for 6 months at a National Park assignment, I hung 4 feeders off the front of our travel trailer. If I can find the video I shot, I'll send it to you. It was great to study their behaviors...very territorial...some are very aggressive. There is another variety here in the dessert that we've heard and seen briefly, but we aren't allowed to put up feeders. Ah nature...I love it.
ReplyDeleteOh Happy Day! Now I just hope he doesn't boomarang back. It's happened to me before. Stay tough!
