The puppy wanted to start the day at 4:30 am. (headdesk)
So I let her out, waited till she was done with her business, and let her back in and went back to bed. 7:30 is a far more sensible time to get up. I have hopes that this will not be a regular thing as she grows up and gets bigger.
We have also discovered the wonders of tiny bites of mozzarella sticks. They motivate us to sit very nicely.

Like your pup, I too have discovered the wonders of mozzarella sticks. I wish tiny bites would suffice for me. Usually I need two whole sticks before sitting nicely. 😂3 -

Preferably coated in batter and deep fried. 😂1 -
From innocence to sinful so quickly… isn’t that the way with food 😜1

Just plain mozzarella sticks. No batter or frying needed. Sometimes you just need a hit of protein. Two sticks = 100 calories.1 -
I like the cracked pepper ones… I’m not sure if they’re mozzarella and cheddar… But they’re dangerous because they’re so delicious it’s easy to eat more than two2

Aldi's has cheese sticks that are monterey jack with habaneros in them. I buy them for my partners, as I don't do heat very well.
Last night we went to bed late because he went out to a meeting, and after I let them out at ten, both dogs came in the front rooms, went into their crates, and went to sleep very pointedly. Ok. Training complete, I guess....! Now if I can get her to understand not pooping inside, we'll have things in order.
Tomorrow we'll wash both dogs and do their nails, and feed them the heartworm medication. Fortunately they like it pretty well.1 -
You’re a good puppy mama Alexandra! Those dogs know when they’re loved.2
-
Well, they want to be good dogs, and all I have to do is show them what I want them to do so they can be good dogs.
Crate training is useful for vet visits and traveling, and if I have the plumber in, for example, I'll crate the dogs. Then he can open the door as much as he needs to, he doesn't have someone "helping" him, and if he doesn't like dogs he doesn't have to deal with them. Same with company. If my elderly mother in law comes over I'll crate the dogs and then let them out to meet her once she's seated and stable.

Packing up my bags for a quick 3 day trip to Houston. Looking forward to exploring some new places I couldn’t visit when I was doing business trips there. The only drawback is it’s ungodly HOT 🥵. But you gotta go when you can and make the best of it.1
-
Have a great trip, Yooly! Hope you don’t melt 🙂
Send us some pictures 🙂1 -
Yooly it sure is going to be HOT!!! Have an awesome time. Nasa was super cool if you are into that kind of thing.2
-
Tried to post the pictures of the Saturday luau adventure with my partner in crime but MFP did not cooperate, probably for the better!
I hope you survive Houston! And that you send pictures!
Actually we should check in on @Dante_80 given the heat wave and fires there. Sounds like a firefighting plane crashed on the same island as his family village....

Hope Dante and family are okay. And CCCGG.
Fire is my biggest fear too. Doesn’t take much to start a grass fire because it hasn’t rained for over a month. With temperatures over 100+ the last thirty days and no end in sight.
It’s hot in Houston but actually 10 degrees cooler than Austin. Hard to believe but 95F doesn’t feel so bad. We stopped at a huge middle eastern market today. And a great Jewish deli for pastrami on homemade rye bread. Can’t even think about the calories. Tonight we’re heading for the House of Pies for dinner. This will not end well 😂
Tomorrow some museums and who knows?2 -
What in the world is a House of Pies??!!! That sounds wonderful and terrible all at the same time1
-
Ah the House of Pies. I think they are only in Houston. 24 hour diner food and breakfast all day. And 40 kind of pies/cakes
We split this bad boy three ways -
Needless to say today was a complete blowout although I had a chicken salad for diinner, I’m sure the 1/3 pie took me way over the top.2 -
YOU
ARE
A
GODDESS
OF
CONSTRAINT
You SPLIT a piece of pie?????????????????????????????????????
Surely you mean you each tried out some of the OTHER PERSON'S piece of pie, right?!?!?!
THAT I could understand!!!
2 -
we split that one piece of pie three ways. Son got a chunk. Hubby got the slightly bigger chunk. Trust me - 1/3 of that Bayou Goo pie was enough!1 -
Can't even look at that pie ! LOL Good for you, your son and hubby for being so reasonable about it.
Today was my first day of tracking in a while. Aiming for 1800 calories (which seems awfully high and low at the same time
) Hopefully I'll find a way to continue.

I like the image (and ain't that the truth), of both "high and low" at the SAME time!2
-
A storm front went through. Therefore I had a migraine. (sigh)
We're just all trying to get by. Husband uncovered the root traumatic cause of his DID this week and yep, it's what the books refer to as the usual cause of DID. Now he has to decide what as a grown man to do about it. I'm trying to be supportive without telling him what to do about it, because he has to work through that in his own time.2 -
Alexandra what does DID stand for?0
-
Dissociative identity disorder. Used to be called Multiple Personality Disorder.1
-
Thank you.
I hope he can find his way to a more peaceful existence. Not easy being a grown man dealing with trauma from your formative years.1 -
Hold up!! that House of Pie looks amazing!! I can't even believe the amount of restraint it would take to eat there. Though I will figure it out when I got in October. I have already told my husband that it will be a stop when we get off our cruise!
Good for you for only eating a little and not just throwing in the towel for the day!2 -
We zig and zag; but, hopefully, we all move forward and onward!0

Heat index yesterday was 104, which is 91 with 83% humidity. Today is supposed to be much the same.
Therefore I got up at two am and did the necessary housecleaning stuff downstairs and ran two loads of dishes and cleaned up the kitchen, so everything is tidy and peaceful here. And yes, now that it is 8:30 and other people are up to let the dogs in and out (and in and out and in and out) I am going to go back to bed for a couple hours.
Of course, the commode in the upstairs bathroom is being difficult again, because It's Always Something. Fortunately, that's something my husband considers his to deal with. I think we just need a new commode, but that will involve bringing my sons down to get the new one up the stairs and the old one down the stairs.4 -
There is always something with houses (and bodies now it seems too!!!)
Great plan for dealing with the heat today.2
