Labor Day, is all quiet here

It is hard to believe that today is Labor Day 2010. We were invited to go to our son's house for a little picnic, but we declined. We wanted to relax and do nothing. Well, I vacuumed, dusted, and washed blankets, and the curtains from the back porch windows, so I guess Labor Day was a day of laboring around the house, so-to-speak.

Cody, our 13 year old, yellow lab is shedding like crazy. So I couldn't stand all the loose hair. I can vacuum everyday and it still will be there 5 minutes after I'm done. When we had our golden retriever it was so much worse, I just hated the hair. Cody is our last dog we have that sheds. He is such a good dog that when he goes to doggie heaven we will miss him greatly, but not the shedding.

We still have three kitties left. Hopefully, this September we won't lose a kitty, like we have done the past two September's in a row. Last year we lost our Snowball and the September before we lost our Misty. We still have my mom's cat, she is the oldest. I believe she is about 15 years old. She was about a year old when my mom got her from the SPCA and my mom had her for 10 years. My mom is gone now 4 years, so that is how I get her age. Gizmo is Snowball's brother and he is about 12 years old and Tigger is about 11 years now. Time flies and it is so hard to keep a track of things. I try to do the best I can.

After these animals leave us no more, because we will be too darn old to get another one.
