Fight the Bite

Snag Only Please!!

Tag is a LilA's daily challenge. I was asked to use the girl.

Ok ... the subject line is fight the bite. What's that all about? Well, you all know I have a new puppy Zeus & although he's keeping me awake a lot through the night he's still just as sweet as can be. Now my delima with him/me ... he is always scratching. I've given him several oatmeal baths, can't find any fleas at all yet he scratches non stop. If that weren't bad enough ... I've got tons of bites all over me but don't even know what they are. It's can't be fleas cause there isn't a single one to be found on him or in the water ... hubby thinks it might be mites so I carefully sprayed him with some meds to rid him of that. This morning he's still scratching & I've got even more bites then yesterday & I can't stop itching. Any ideas on what he might have? How to get rid of them? How to make mine stop itching? HELP ... if I keep scratching the way I am now I'll be so raw come Monday morning. I've tried peroxide, alcohol & anti-itch cream already with no such luck.

Nothing else new today ... planning on going to the Peanut Festival tomorrow so I'll have lots of pictures to share in a few days. I've never gone to this festival before cause it is kinda pricey but we promised the kids we would go this year. I'm thinking it will be a blast.

Have a great weekend all. Hugs .... Emmi

Baby it's Cold Outside

Snag Only!!!

Now we don't get snow here in lower Alabama but it was pretty darn chilly this morning. So chilly that when I woke up (after a brutal night with Zeus), there was a fire all ready to toast my tootsies. Hubby had coffee ready & waiting on me to. It's one of those rare moments when I get to see him when I wake up in the morning. He took a sick day from work cause he had some veteran affairs things to take care of. I'm thinking he'll be home by lunch.

The fair is in town! Actually it's a few towns over. It's called the Peanut Festival, it comes once a year. Our state celebrates peanuts cause we make up 1/2 of all the US peanut supply. Pretty cool huh? We haven't decided which day we will be going. Today they are having a concert but it's someone I have never heard of ... tomorrow Bucky Covington from American Idol will be playing or we could be going on Saturday to watch the Demolition Derby ... I just love those things. Yes, I'm a redneck woman and darn proud of my title. I pack a pistol and I have no problem hunting for my own food =D I believe PETA stands for people eating tasty animals. he he he

Sorry to any vegitarians out there. I look at it like this ... God wouldn't have given me teeth to tear away at meat if I wasn't meant to eat it.

Well, that's all for me ... gotta get back to teaching the kids, their short break has come to an end. Have a great day!
