tiger vampires aren't the only ones who drink tigers blood

happy memorial day! we are blessed to have men and women who fight and often lose their lives to ensure our freedoms. may we never trivialize their sacrifice!

today we got to hang out and i drew up a new idea for a greeting card, but i don't know how well it will go over with normal people...so if you like it, you may be slightly abnormal.

bruno kinda raised his eyebrow, chaco rolled on the floor laughing...who's who?

so we did a little bit of that this morning, and another project, and the maintenance guy came this morning before i had my bra on, so quick as lightning i grabbed a fleece to throw on (mind you it was about 89` outside) i'm sure he was probably wondering what my problem was.  so he came in and looked at it and showed me what the problem was..apparently the electric wire used in the drain cycle was sev/ered. so i think he just spliced the wire and made sure it was tucked away to the side.

he left and i did a load and it made funny sounds, but it went through the complete cycle. so i threw in another load. and again it was making loud, whiny noises and so i went in to check on it and it was smelling like burnt rubber, so i shut it off again and let them know in the office and shannon said they just need to get a new washer up there...duh.

so we took off to the dog park, but not our apt dog park. we went to the real dog park.

chaco's new seat in the back..now i need a baby mirror.

bruno is so happy.

 the pups did well-there were lots of dogs there..some mixed breeds, poodles, schnauzer, chihuahua, king charles, french bull terrier, etc.
bruno sniffed around and checked things out and chaco was acting like he was afraid of the bigger pups so that girls would pick him up. little flirt..thank goodness he wasn't too snippy with the other dogs.

once we got back into the car, chaco asked what kind of animals those were. when i told him they were dogs, he was shocked and insisted that there was no way; they didn't look like dogs. i explained that there were many different types of dogs. "how can this be?" he asked (rather stupidly). bruno looked bored and he said, "can we move on?"

so our next stop on the way home was the shaved ice hut for TIGER BLOOD WITH CREAM! i am not a tiger vampire...what is that anyway? it doesn't even make any sense! but i do love my shaved ice!

when we finally got home, i had a voice-mail from the vet. they broke the vial that had bruno's blood in it on the way to the testing facility. rookies. so i now have to take him back in to get another draw. he's going to be so mad when i tell him.

and tomorrow is field day at school- woohoo! translated: tomorrow is field day at school- nothing is about it is going to be woo or hoo...i'll just plan for chaos right now. and i'm pretty sure it will be a sunburn day. (no matter how much lotion i use)

alright, abnormal is the new normal!
