This and That



so time flies by so quickly...

Emily and Jack and I and Deezel and Josi like to take walks, I like to coo at Jack's little feet

he has the cutest little sweaty:) feet
Recently Emily, Greg and Jack were road-trippin it to Wooster for the weekend and I tagged along for the ride to and fro...carsickness and back ways do not mix well.
I stayed at Clete and Chris's with my nephews for the weekend - I know I've said this before but dangit they grow up fast. I had some pictures, but alas I accidently deleted them:(

The car ride both ways, was an event all to itself...consisting of delaying parades, trying to keep the little man from crying, and "don't try this at home" attempts to stop the crying:)

Overall I'm glad at any chance I get for spending time with family and friends.


Here are some pictures of the sandwich I was raving about - Sourdough bread, pesto (North Market), tom, mozz and spinach...and yes I made them two nights in a row, in case any smartypants out there notices the plating differences
and I rescued/found a kit-cat about a week and a half ago...I have put up found signs in the area, but nothin...more than likely his family packed up and left and gave him the boot, sad I know and tragically this happens alot. Fortunately for him he ended up on my porch, and has been staying at chez Carmi for the time being. I took him to the vet to get neutered (he has forgiven me, I think...) and to get vaccinated, dewormed, his ears cleaned and nails trimmed. The works, I guess you could say...I had already put some flea/tick med on him on Day 1 of his stay. Given that he ran up to my dogs and has since established himself in charge, I think that wherever he lived before, he lived with dogs...maybe. The point is on Monday (sept 1st) he's going to Jessica's ( a friend from work) to live, yea! saving one lost soul at a time:)

the vet put him at about 7-8 months, isn't he a cutie-pie? I'm going to miss him but I'm already at full capacity...I do have to admit that I had no idea that cat-nip would drive the little guy so crazy, who knew?

This past weekend, my Dad came down and spent the night, Friday into Saturday, the 22nd-23rd. I filled up his time with dog based events, and he was happy to spoil his granpuppies, and daughter...Friday we went to the Dog Days Festival in Westerville, Deezel and Josi being the mini-celebrities that they are prevents me from getting to to many booths to score some goodies, so Thanks Michele for stocking up Josi's backpack and my bag too, or else I probably would've left empty-handed...except for the bag of dogfood that my Dad got at DJ's Feed Store, to say that Deezel and Josi love this stuff is an understatment, I usually put it as a garnishment on their boring regular food and they go to town with tails wagging, I like it because it's good for them. It's probably like when your kids (real ones) say no to cookies, they'd rather have the carrots, or something...the point is I like it because it's healthy they like it just because.

On Saturday, my Dad, Josi and I headed downtown for the 5K Dog Jog and man was that fun. She and I made it through the race, running yes, although we did stop to walk, once or twice...Josi needed to (wink, wink) and I felt I should oblige her. It was a fun and relaxing time to spend with canine like minded people. Next year, if we train harder, we can be contenders:)

Sunday, I slept alot and had lunch at Easy Street Cafe on Thurman St. I like it, there are lotsa greek based dishes...yum.

This week has consisted of work, and dividing my time between walks/cuddles with the furkids, and giving kit-cat some attention too. I did manage to get over to Kathryn's for dinner on Wednesday, and discovered another wine to crave. I like Yellow Tail in general, normally going for the Shiraz, we'll she had the cab-merlot blend and it was delish. My favorite though is still Layer Cake Shiraz, but it's real difficult to find locally...however they do have it at Mohawk a restaurant in German Village.

Allright, I'm done typing for now...ready to embrace the long weekend with open arms!
