Razputin, Anyastasia & Fisher or the "Babies"


 Yes, RAZ putin, not Rasputin. Or as he is called "Raz". He is my buddy. He is a beagle that DJ & B adopted from a shelter and he is the best guy ever! He either sleeps as you see here, in my bed or on the floor, by my bed. Well, that is until his daddy gets home. 

That other furry friend up there in my bed is Anyastasia or "Anya". She is a dachshund/pit bull mix and she is a princess! She also loves lying in my bed until Daddy gets home. 


Then there is the little baby. Fisher, named after Carrie Fisher as we got him the day Carrie Fisher died. Maltese / Shiatzu mix. Veracious bark, but a chicken shit.  Scared of his own shadow. He refuses to get off the patio when it is dark outside unless someone is with him. He prefers to sleep downstairs in his playpen. He doesn't like coming upstairs in the dark.

These three babies keep me company. DJ works normally 5pm to 5am and B works 10pm to 7am, so these three are my companions and my co workers since I've been working from home. They work cheap, for treats! They also help keep me sane. Yes, I talk to them. We have some great conversations!!😘

Getting into the Season



 HAPPY HALLOW--- oh wait it is still September.

That doesn't matter, it is officially autumn, so why not put up Halloween decorations? B is all about it, just thank goodness he didn't want to decorate the yard in Halloween Gnomes! Will get to that in another post at some point I am sure.

It does look festive, and after placing 17 inflatables and various other decorations (pumpkins, mums and scarecrows) the "boys" (how I refer to DJ and B) were finished, for now now anyway.

All these decorations had me going back in time to Halloweens of past. Trick or Treat as a kid was not that much fun for me, and once I got married we didn't participate as my ex wife thought it was some kind of worship of Satan or something. Then once I came out it became a yearly extravaganza! I would either host or co-host a costume party every year.

This year DJ & B are hosting a costume party (as long as Covid slows down, which unfortunately, it seems to back in rampant force) The theme for the party is Disney. So now I need to decide what I will dress up as. I am thinking an Ape, from Tarzan. B already has the costume and I will be in a full faced mask all night! We will see.

As for my shingles, they are still active, but slowing down. Had to get another prescription of the famciclovir, so hopefully they will be gone soon! 

So, Happy Autumn and let's hope for a party!
