Hello everyone,
I hope you`ve all had a nice day. The weather has been dry and warm, just what we wanted for yesterday afternoon. I`m sure we`re in for a storm soon, the sky is very dark and threatening and there`s been the odd spot of rain. It doesn`t matter what the weather does at this time of the day so it can rain all it likes for all I care.
This morning was taken up with ironing and cleaning then later I made a net curtain out of a voile blind that I don`t use anymore. It`s plain white and the same as the front door panel and I think I made a good job considering I`m next to useless with a needle and thread, all this despite being full of cold. Now that the decorating is all but finished I`ve been clearing all the bedrooms where Jim`s work stuff has been stored. It`s so nice to have my house back and not tripping over paint pots or treading on screws that were lying around.
When Jim got home from work this afternoon we took Jake to the back field for his walk. When we got there we met the local vicar walking her two collies, Toby and Sam. They are beautiful dogs but Sam doesn`t like other dogs and doesn`t play with Jake or any other dog, Toby on the other hand is really friendly and adores Jake. As we walked around the dogs were playing with tennis balls when suddenly a Sam lunged at Jake and sank his teeth into his nose. Poor Jake just stood there as Sam shook him around, it was horrible to watch. As it happened it was nowhere as bad as it looked and they all carried on as if nothing happened. Jake though had learned a valuable lesson where Sam is concerned. Do NOT try to take his tennis ball away from him.....ever! Jake has no injuries apart from hurt pride and a slightly tender nose. When we parted company with the vicar we noticed there were a couple of broken bird`s nests on the ground, it looked as though it had been done deliberately....people can be so cruel at times. Why would they want to do a thing like that?
Not much else has happened today so I`ll leave you all now. I hope you all enjoy your evening so take care. Bye Bye for now. :o)

Oh my..poor Jake. Sounds like the Vicar's unfriendly pooch needs some counseling. Sandra, you have more energy..you get more done in a day than I do in a week. Beautiful graphics ! Have a good evening, Linda in gloomy, cool Washington
Ok am gunna ship our rain down to you lol.You got Dawn French down there have you lol(Vicar).I rekon your Journal should be nominated for an award for all the lovely graphics it contains.There's a lot of work gone in to it.
Poor Jake!! Only his pride dented though hopefully!!! I started ironing at lunch time and am still going at it, but I do keep stopping for a breather, lol! We now have the hall carpet in place, so I know what you mean by not falling over things anymore, lol!
Poor Jake I bet it was a bit embarassing and frightening for the owners to watch ,thankgoodness it was only Jakes pride that was hurt ,thought you was going to tell us you had a sore nose (with your cold )instead of poor Jake ...........Jan xx
Well done on making a net curtain ~ I really do like voile ~ How lovely the hall way is all but done ~ Poor Jake having his nose bitten by Sam ~ glad it was not that bad but never~the~less I bet he was shocked ~ cannot understand why anyone would want to destroy a birds nest that is just sheer vandalism ~ Ally
Oh, Poor Jake. Sometimes lessons are hard learned. So glad he wasn't hurt. I do love your graphic this morning. It is so pretty with the butterflies! Made me want to go to the florist and buy a bouquet! Hope your cold is better and that the rest of your day is very nice. Kathy
Ah poor Jake, lucky he is so good tempered and did not retaliate. What a stunning graphic. I am seeing such lovely graphics on peeps pages these days and never know where they find them. I visit loads of sites and have not come across anything like yours. I am no good with a needle and thread either so you did a good job making that curtain. It will be so nice to have your home back to normal. Do not forget to post piccies.

I thought it was your nose that was sore through all the blowing! Poor Jake, glad he wasn't hurt too badly. It's nice you've got your house back to near normal now, it's been a long time!! Jeannette xx
Glad your house is back to normal and you have it back!! Poor Jake! I'd have been scared to death during the fight.

Poor jake!!

Poor Jake, hope the sore nose doesn't cause any problems for him. That is bad when someone is so mean that they get pleasure from destroying things. Hope you feel a lot better tomorrow. Hugs, Helen
You have great taste in graphics Sandra. . .Poor Jake,hope his nose is better .And hope your nose is better too
Awww poor Jake!

I am sure Salty would do the same thing, and have it done to him likewise. They are not vicious like the breeds that are real killers of other dogs. There is a ban on Pit Bulls in some areas. One got loose weeks ago and killed a man's small dog and attacked him and injured him. The dog was caught and no one came forth to claim him and that is the last heard of it with the dog facing being put to sleep without the owner coming forward. Another day a breeder on TV talked about Pit Bulls and how the owner's play a part in making them killers. They are dog's that are like loaded guns and need special restrictions. Now that Salty has his pen he is able to run and release his energy. Even though I know he goes to the next road where he is welcome at some neighbors, there is another neighbor that may have shot him with a pellet gun but it did not break the skin and just left a spot without hair. I don't even know for sure, but when I first got him and walked by them a woman shouted to me "leave of alone", and I didn't say anything back. She had a tiny little barking dog running loose and the trailor next door had a dog on a chain. As I said, the new pen is fantastic for him. I throw him the stick and he runs and gets it and then runs right back at me or into me , lol, and won't let me have it. He is loosing weight and putting on muscle. mark
Wonderful graphic with butterflies and flowers! mark
Hi Sandra ,glad to hear you are getting your house back in order.Sorry about poor Jakes nose,naughty vicars dog!!!........Jeanx
poor Jake ..wonder what he will do when he sees Sam again? I took in an 8 year old Springer Spaniel ( the people who had her since a puppie wanted rid of as they were moving to a new house) and though a lovely placid natured dog I discovered she would go for Alsations, snapping and growling at them. Apparantly she herself had been attacked by one as a pup and obviously developed the response of attacking them first! Glad you are getting your house back in order. Eve
Poooor Jake. I hope he got an extra treat when you returned from your walk. No one ever said life's lessons were easy though,eh?
Your graphics are so nice. I would love to snag a couple of them, if they are snaggable!! Have a great week and give Jake a scratch behind the ears from me and a woof from my Jake and Frodo too.
Barb
Thank goodness Jake is okay. Doggies don't like to share like some children!
Hugs and love, have a great week!
