Tap...Tap...Is This Thing On?

Is there anyone still reading or looking at my blog for updates?  All you are going to find here are lame excuses and cute dog pics.  If you came for the knitting, you must return my knitting mojo.  Then I promise to show you some knitting pics.

I have been extremely busy these days...

• cuddling with the puppy on the bed
• watching Dish TV until 3 a.m. (so many channels - so little time...so many channels showing Cops, which of course, I only watch for the theme song.)
• getting up around 6-6:30 a.m.
• watching the hair on my legs grow (it's not quite to the totally gross length where people would begin to doubt if I evolved fully - but it's more than it should be.  I will spare you the pics)
• I may be growing the hair on my legs because the hair on my head is till coming out BY THE HANDSFULL!  (When your hair is waist-length,  that's not funny.)
• Cisco has lost his long puppy coat, and has only retained the long hair on his ears, and 4 long hairs on his chest.  He has two balding spots on either side of the white stripe on his head.
• The two of us are considering joining the hair club for men.
• Or, we may attempt a transplant of my leg hair to our heads.
• We are both hoping our long hair returns soon.

Can you feel the excitement?  Yeah.  Me too.

Cisco has turned into a total little love bug.  He whines if I leave him on the bed and move to my computer only a couple of feet away.  If I go out of his sight, he gets frantic.  Yes, I have created a monster.  I wonder how my doctors feel about me packing the pooch in my handbag during medical exams?  Although I appear to have his undying love, I occasionally have to play second fiddle to Remy, who Cicso totally adores with leaping, wild puppy abandon.

Here are some pics of Cisco...

Who wouldn't love that little face?


Here he is admiring himself in the dresser mirror.


Here we are in a stare down. 

When he decides I have spent enough time at the computer, and it's time for me to get back over there and play with him - he gives one sharp bark.  The only time he barks.  Then we stare each other down to see who wins.  Usually he does.  Could you refuse that little face?

In other news, hubby is back to work now in his third week.  He's doing very well.  Basically it's just the dogs and me in the house, after my caregivers leave.  Winston has begrudgingly made his way back to the spot under my computer table at times.  He is afraid of the puppy, and will not get on the bed if Cisco is there.  Winston is quite happy to be held as long as I am away from the puppy, and seeks me out immediately whenever food might be involved.  Sachi and Remy love to play with the puppy. 

So, most of my side effects from the medication have resolved, except for the excessive falling out of the hair and brittle, breaking fingernails. 

And that's all the news that's fit to print.  I don't think the networks will be calling me anytime soon.  However the last time I got on the scale, I'm pretty sure I could hear the circus calling.  Holey moley!  I didn't believe even I could gain that much weight sleeping 18 hours a day for a few weeks.  Apparently my body only required about 12 calories a day, and I didn't get the memo.

I'm so happy to see you back here! Don't you ever stay away that long again or I'll send my puppy (8 month old, 145 pound mastiff) out looking for you!

My husband wants to know if he can have the hair that's falling out...he wants me to knit him a hat!

Don't stay away so long next time...you are missed!

Love ya,
Jan

I'm totally still here, and love the doggy pictures. My own knitting mojo has been lackluster for quite some time (I'd say it's a good thing I don't keep a blog about knitting, but my blog mojo seems to have gone as well).

So glad you and hubby are getting back into the swing of things!

Hi, don't worry, we're still here for you!

[Joan]

You have a much better sense of humor than I would going through all this. That pup is so cute! My knitting mojo is suffering too, not from lack of projects but deadline knitting.

I am totally here. I miss your updates and have been thinking about you and your family (pets and people). Continued prayers...

[Jennifer]

So cute!!! I love the one of him admiring himself in the mirror - too funny :)

[Rachel]

What a cutie! It's nice to see a new post from you. :)

I hope I'm not making a repeat comment but WordPress and Blogger had some trouble communicating last night and I couldn't get through to some of the Dogs on Thursday blogs. Just wanted to let you know how cute Cisco is. Love his ears@

I am sooo happy that things are better for your family. It has been a real test to trust the Lord that your family was recovering. Cisco is giving Winston competition I see. They are both equally as cute.
Blessings Bliss, you and yours are in my prayers.

Me! I'm out here! How's everything in your world?

So happy to know that your husband is back to work and things are looking good! Hooray for that!

It's the weather. You'll take those pounds right back off when spring arrives and you start jogging at the park again. :D

Take care and try to blog more - are you able to knit much these days? Miss you so. XOXOXOX

Hi. I found your blog in my search for felted bag patterns. It sounds like your family has really been through the mill recently. Your attitude seems great, though.

Your new little puppy is adorable. Your Bunny, in the sidebar, looks so much like our little Sally, who we lost a year or so ago. We recently got a little Min Pin who has taken over the house!

Oh my gosh! What an adorable dog.

I am glad you are back. Hang in there and your knitting mojo will return. You pup is adorable and I would just a soon see his picture as something knitted! ;o) Sending prayers and good thoughts your way-I have stopped in from Dogs on Thursday.

Loved your post. Couldn't stop laughing about the hair transplant you are very creative. Glad to see you back. Missed reading you and the adorable puppy content.
