Good Weekend for Some

It's been a good weekend, at least for me. The pets are another story.

Friday night I watched P.S. I Love You and loved it. A friend sent me a txt message during it and I told her I was watching it and I guess she didn't realize I had not finished the movie yet because she asked how I liked the end and then said what happened. Ha!

Saturday I worked for a couple hours, ran a couple errands and then came home and did nothing. Well, I did nothing after I worked out. Speaking of working out....I lost 3lbs this past week. Yay!! Only 47 more pounds to go. :)

Yes I had a great weekend, but my pets did not. Let's recap:

Friday AM: In my frustration with other things I yell and curse at Sophie. I feel guilty all day long. My guilt caused me to stop and buy her a new toy, she got a car ride to the convenience store and part of my dinner. All was well again.

Saturday AM: I take Sophie to the groomer and she is furious with me. I had a hard time getting her to get in the car and ended up losing my patience with her again. While she is at the groomer I feel guilty and stop and buy her a can of moist dog food. We make peace again Saturday night after she shares my dinner...again.

Saturday PM: I buy Ben a collar with a bell so I can hear if he is by the door when I leave. When I put the collar on him he starts thrashing around and gets his bottom teeth stuck in the collar. Thankfully the collar unlatched before he broke his jaw. After a few hours he decides I am safe again only to find out I was hiding the collar. I put it on him and he runs under the bed where he will spend the next two hours. I finally lure him out with the laser pointer. Peace was made when we went to bed and he curled up next to me laid his face on my hand.

I think everyone in my house hopes this week is better then last week.

Sounds like your guilt results in treats...I'm sure the pets are actually hoping for repeat of this week. :)

You are such a softie, spoiling critter-mom!!! You crack me up! Sophie especially plays you like a well-worn fiddle! I absolutely love it!!

Sometimes it sucks to have to put the hammer down. I just say "I'm the mom, I'm the mom" over to myself.

Ah we all lose patience sometimes. I am laughing at Lynilu's assessment!
