Doing The Rollie Pollie by Abby (AWW Mondays)

I like to take a break along my walks and roll around in the grass in the shade to cool off. Gerard thought you would like to see me doing this so told Karen to get it on video. This time was at Snow Road Park but I usually do it on my evening walks. I'll even do it in the snow!

I found out that sometimes I can get my leash off this way. Karen was very surprised the first time she saw it happen when we were at the park. She quickly grabbed onto my collar and put it back on.  Shortly after this, Karen took me to my vet to get a micro chip inserted so if I ever got separated from them, their chances of getting me back are much greater.   It doesn't hurt, all doggies should get one.  Cats can get them too!

I have a number now and it's in the computer with my address and phone number.  I have another special tag to wear now that came in the mail with my number and a phone number on it that people could call to find out who I belong to.

Spunky Doodle and Manny do the rollie pollie sometimes too, but always in the house and they don't have any collar or leash to worry about.  I do it the best though if I do say so myself.

Did you like my video?  Do you have a micro chip?

5 Things We Learned This Week 31 of 2011 (nails, bears, shoes, charity, comments)

Nails

Last Friday I learned that you should soak your nails in water for 10-15 minutes before applying nail polish. Then you should apply 3 coats! We had a ladies spa night at church but I didn't do my nails. I just don't have the patience for it and don't need yet another thing to keep up with. Do you do your nails?

Grizzly Bears

The two new Grizzly Bear cubs at the Cleveland zoo are named Cody and Cooper. We visited them last Saturday for the first time and posted a video. They were fun to watch!

New Balance

According to the Cleveland PLAIN DEALER on Tuesday, the only major tennis shoe made in the U.S. is New Balance. Both Gerard and I like this shoe best so this was good news for us.

Easy Way To Help Someone

I was surprised that only two people expressed an interest in trying out KIVA for free by using my invitation link. KIVA is paying the $25 for people to lend to any of their listed borrowers just to introduce new people to KIVA. I know of two other KIVA members who got not takers on this fantastic limited offer. I don't understand it.

comments

Our comments were down last month at 175. I thought I had decent posts but maybe people are just spending less time visiting blogs. That's what I told myself but then I found that another blogger got the most comments she ever got last month. Now I'm not sure what to think.

I Survived Without Pizza!

Last weekend was the first in a very long time that I did not have pizza. We ALWAYS get pizza on Sunday so I can take it to work for lunch on Monday and Tuesday and can’t remember the last weekend when we didn’t get it. I absolutely love pizza because it tastes good, is easy to eat and easy to take for lunch.

Last Saturday, we attended a graduation party and were given two full plates of food to go. Gerard’s loves to cook and is a fantastic party giver. Gerard almost fell over when I suggested we just eat that food instead of getting pizza this week, but readily agreed.

So, can you guess what I had for lunch Monday and Tuesday? I had a roast beef sandwich and it was very good! I knew I could survive without pizza but look forward to having it again this week.

What food do you love so much that you have it the same day every week?

Try Out KIVA for Free!

This is the first person I loaned to through KIVA

That's right, KIVA is offering free trials this week! This is the site where you can loan people $25 increments to help them out. There are many from which to choose from all over the world. The cool thing is that when/if you get paid back, you can re-loan that same $25 again! It really feels good to know you are helping people and at the same time, in my future retirement years I'll still be able to give to help others through this just by re-loaning. Or, if I'm in dire straights, I'll have money coming back to me when I really need it.

Go now and try it out using my link here and I will get a KIVA t-shirt if 5 of you become lenders by August 13: http://kiva.org/invitedby/karen7242.(Please let me know in the comments if you try this out.)

Cat Playtime Again--This Time With The Milk Cap Ring

Sometimes the cheapest toys are the ones the cats like best. This is a video of my cats, Spunky Doodle and Manny, taking turns playing with the blue milk cap ring. I was surprised that Manny played with it because he usually isn't interested in playing with the toy mice or string for very long. He will climb into a box now and then but doesn't stay very long. This little ring kept them amused for 15 minutes! Sorry this is over 5 minutes long but they were both very active.

Spunky ran through the tunnel twice, they both knocked it off the table, Manny hit it under the TV and tried getting it out, they pushed it pounced on it. I was disappointed that neither of them fluffed up their tail. I really wanted to get that! A few days before when Spunky played with it, she fluffed her tail up.

How do you get your cats to exercise?
