Sunday morning giggle

[pbpatti]

I thought I was doing really well until yesterday morning when I took Sable to Home Depot so I could pick up some paint.The store in my neighborhood is really good I like the staff as they are so helpful.We get to Home Depot at about 8:45 am get our paint and proceed to the cash out..they have two cahiers open one in the lumber area and one in the main area, they also have about 4 self serve cashouts..It is Saturday morning at the hardware store and they have TWO cashiers on, this is when I find out that yes I am sleeped deprived and getting cranky..I had a TEMPER TANTRUM, my Mom said that I never had tantrums as a child. Can you picture this a 52 year old women standing in the cash yourself out line " I am not doing this, I am on strike, we are not doing this (she looks around to see if she has any backup)nope".. I try to ring in one can of paint machine goes click ...please wait for assitance...no no no, " I am not doing this, I am not doing this, do this for me"..with a whiny voice even* OMG I was not even embarassed I was just so upset, I got the puppy at my feet pulling all over I got paint etc...well finally a clerk comes over and finishes scanning my item and off I go...the only thing I did not do was stomp my feetthat is when you realize you are sleep deprived....today is no better but I think that when puppy has a nap I should too.** pbp

Oh man, sleep deprivation is murder. LOL, at least Sable can't refuse to go out with you again for embarrassing him

[pbpatti]

We had to go to Home Depot today again and they did not kick us out so I guess our money is still good

Puppies come trained for causing sleep deprivation, don't ya know...sort of like newborns. There is both an upside and a downside to this.

The upside is that sleep deprivation is actually a very potent antidepressant. No, really!

The downsides are numerous, however: temper tantrums, short term memory loss, falling asleep at odd moments ( not when driving ), etc. hazel has always found the memory loss aspect to be most troublesome.

The upside is that sleep deprivation is actually a very potent antidepressant. No, really!

But I hate having no short term memory.



Did you get your nap, by the way? (Or did you forget?)

Is she watching TV with you? What a sweet little girl!

[Longblades]

My gosh! Did I get mixed up with another post? Is she really only 9 weeks old? She's so BIG. Or is it the angle of the shot? Black Labs are best. My puppy boy is a black Lab too. You got a good picture with lots of definition in it. Black is hard to photograph. I just wrote up the six month report I have to send to the breeder and in it I have included a lovely head shot of my boy but, darn, there's a big eye goober in one eye. Phooey, spoils it.

I took that picture while I was trying to type here..I just got really lucky, Sable is 14 lbs and growing too soon she will not fit in my arms:sad:

What an absolutely beautiful pup! Almost puts mine to shame.

[Longblades]

No, no, she'll always fit. My lad is 40 lbs at six months and he has figured out how to contort himself so he still fits. They can curl up into a really small space if need be.

What a sweetie! Puppy breath! I miss it!
