Lunatic Loves These Links- Sept 19

Hey folks. I am back with my weekly installment of linky love. I adore doing this one but I always feel bad I can’t include more. It’s a time thing. Posting links and testing them takes up some serious time. You all know lately time is crunched for me. With only 2 cars for 4 people this household is hopping and Mom seems to be the one doing most of it. Which I don’t mind but man oh man does it keep me busy. Really hoping we find the time to pick up a car for Bray this week. Then things should mellow a bit. Finding a good car is a time sucker though. Finding one that meets the needs and the wallet seems like a time waster. Not much out there that fits all the criteria. But I’m sure he’ll find one soon.So I am way tired tonight so this might be a bit snappier than usual. Who knew such a little tiny cute puppy could wear me out like this. She is pushing me over the edge. Not that I had far to go. Training a terrier is a bit daunting. Not sure what I was thinking. She sure is cute but another sheltie might have been a better way to go. Hopefully a couple months from now I’ll be raving about how good she is. And that her and the kitties are co-existing nicely. Right now that is not happening. She has been asserting her dominance and driving the cats to higher ground. I think I saw them all packing tiny little suitcases earlier. Not sure if they are jumping ship or pushing her overboard. But something is happening. A kitty rebellion is on the horizon. I can feel it in the air.

Before I start I’d just like to say a huge thank you to all of you who comment regularly. Also to those of you who buzz my posts. I cannot thank my readers enough. I know I’ve been busy and not responding as quickly as I normally do. Yet you still come by even when I am lax about visiting back due to life getting hectic. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your loyalty and kindness. I cannot express how much it means to me. I adore all my readers, whether you blog or not. Big or small blogs, you are all important to me. I read the comments daily and take stock in what you say. So even when life pulls me away please know I am paying attention, even when it seems I’m not. You make what I do worthwhile and a joy. So thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Your treats look so yummy, the pizza too. I had a dog growing up that was half terrier and half weiner dog. He was my dearest friend. Good luck with your training.
