The small stuff

  • Mood:
You know how they always say, don't sweat the small stuff. Well I beg to differ. 99% of our lives is the SMALL stuff! So only about 1% should be worried about then? I don't think so. I am sure you are wondering what has me in a tizzy today! LOL You would think with our current living conditions being crowded it would be the kids, right?!?!? NOPE! Of course that only leaves one of the pets and since Magic (the cat) is generally well behaved it would leave only one suspect.
TALI! Some of you may or may not know that I do not care for carpeting. I don't mind an area rug or other small throw rugs in front of entries in the house. I just don't like carpet. If I cannot change it or clean it easily, I don't want it! So our home is about 90% hard surfaces with 10% carpet/rugs. With that much hard floor you would think that Tali would throw up on a hard surface eventually. NOPE! She will run to a rug to throw up. Now don't panic, she is not throwing up because she has any serious aliment. We have two very prolific pear trees in our back yard. Some of the pears fall off this time of year (not sure why, but I am sure there is some pear logic to it). What does Tali do? She eats them. Of course way under ripened pears are not great for her stomach. So she throws up. I keep sweeping the pears up, but you know I am bound to miss one or two that her nose will find. Now she does not eat them when I take her out. She knows better. When Dad takes her out in the morning he does notice ANYTHING! One day she brought a block of bird suet in that fell out of the holder and he did not notice. So yes I am going to sweat the small stuff when I am scrubbing the bright green stains off my carpet today, LITERALLY!
Anyone want a slightly used Beagle??? LOL
