Well, here we are. Monday, Feb. 28th. the last day of the shortest month of the year. And March is about to begin. It is a good name for the month as it it truly a march toward spring.
The day is dawning bright and sunny here, the storm that was to come is not coming up here and is weakening even for the downstate areas.
Finn and the girls made it through another day yesterday although not with out problems. He being a little aggresive, is making my dogs especially Sassy very nervous. His has kind of made this area under my computer table, his private domain now. So when I am in here, so is he. Keeps the rawhide rings under here too. But it is not necessarily a good thing. On Saturday afternoon, he was laying under here when Tessa came in to curl up in the dog bed that's next to my computer table here. She had just gotten on to it, when he charged out from under the table and snarled at her.
She of course left. I don't know if he thought maybe she was a threat to his rawhide rings or what. But she will not come back in here. Spending all her time in my bedroom on the other bed.Yesterday afternoon, after we came home from out walk, we were all in the breezeway getting out of leashes, collars, jackets, boots etc. Sassy was standing by his food bowl just waiting for me to take her collar off. He must have though perhaps she was going to eat a bit of what food was in there and went snarling after her. I promply balled him out.
And then again yesterday evening when I was fixing my dogs dinners, both of them were by the counter and he lit into her again. Don't know if maybe I accidently dropped a piece of food or what, but nevertheless. So Sassy is now very nervous having him around here and is getting very clingy around me. Last night she was sitting and laying very close to my chair while I was on my laptop. At one point I could feel her shaking just a bit. So I think it is going to be best to place Finn elsewhere. Although he's a good dog, I just don't want my girls under stress for another month before he goes home. He loves t oplay, but my two are older and won't play. Let's just say, if he disappeared, they would be very happy. So I have called my pet sitting neighbor to see if she can take him in at all. Waiting to find out as she wasn't home last night. I hate to do this, but ........ A few people were asking yesterday how I can sleep with all the bodies on my bed.
Well, my two don't sleep up there. They have never had any interest in getting of furniture. Other than Tessa who wants up during storms and ocassinally once in a while when she wants some "snuggle time", they stay either in their own beds or on the floor. I think it's probably because they are older when I adopt them and having spent their lives in their outside kennel and yard, they aren't around furniture and aren't interested. Not sure where today is going to go. Do plan to work on my little sign for awhle, time to change my bedding and put away yesterday's laundry
Then of course, dog walk. Eventually I will get back to finishing up my spring cleaning. Going to be time to remove my plastic storm windows from my breezeway windows before long here. Ah, the nice thouoght of changing gears into another season, slow but sure. Have a great day all.
But it will dry up so, bring on the sunshine!! WooHooooo Can ya'll tell that I'm ready for Spring? 
The kids and I had a really fun weekend, playing croquet, bocci ball, and trivial pursuit! It's nice to do things with family once in a while.
