Here's a little trivia fact for you. We homeschool our daughter and had her look up Polar Bears not too long ago. One of the facts about Polar Bears is that they don't move very fast because if they do, they overheat. They walk very slowly, even in the cold weather, in their natural habitat, and they have to rest every so often so they don't overheat. My daughter has a coat that came from the Ukraine, I believe it is, and she calls it her Polar Bear coat because it is so warm. She can only wear it when it is below zero out or she overheats.

Lazy Summer Day
Well, It may not quite be summer yet, but it feels like it. It is warm for this time of year in my neck of the woods, much warmer than I like it. We don't have our air conditioning hooked up yet, hopefully soon, so everybody is warm. I feel kind of like the polar bears in the summer, here, when it's in the 90s. All they do is lay around. I've been working away at my computer all day, trying not to do a lot of moving around. It's 86 degrees outside right now. The house was rather warm this morning whe I got up and Duncan, one of the dogs, was already panting. It's also getting more humid now and that is what really gets to me. I plugged in the little fan and put it on the floor. Before long, Snickers, the chocolate lab, was laying in front of it. We have 5 dogs in the house right now, 4 of them ours. We have a Pommeranian, (an old Pommeranian), an old Papillion, a Golden mix, a Black Lab, and we are dogsitting a Chocolate Lab. We also have 3 cats in the house. Everybody is sleeping right now, except for me. There are dogs sprawled out all over! Cats are sleeping in windows and even the little Degus are sleeping in their cage. Yawn. I'm getting tired just thinking about it. :-) Tomorrow is supposed to be cooler but rainy. Even the horses hide from the sun when it gets this warm. I think I'll stay inside by the fan.

Memorial Day
I hope you all had a good Memorial Day. We cooked out burgers, brats and polish dogs on the grill. I made cole slaw and Hot German Potato Salad and corn on the cob. We had some baked beans, pickles and olives. My daughter brought homemade ice cream (cookies and cream). It was in the 70s today but it was cloudy most of the day. I hope you took a few minutes to remember the men and women who have died serving our country in the armed forces. My husband was in the Marine reserves so that is an important part of the day for him.

Bad Dogs!
A little background. We have 4 dogs, 2 little ones and 2 bigs ones. We have a fence on the side of the house for the little dogs and they have a dog door in the side of the entryway to get to their pen.
The rest of the yard is fenced in for the big dogs, a Black Lab with really bad knees and a Golden mix. We live about 1/2 block from the lake and Magnum loves the water. He has not been able to go swimming for the past couple of years because of his bad knees. Even though swimming is the best exercise for arthritis, he just hasn't been able to handle it. We recently took in my ex-son-in-law's Chocolate Lab(temporarily) as he is having trouble finding an apartment that will take dogs. So now we have 3 big dogs. If you know anything about Labs, you know they love water. I let the 3 big dogs out to potty this afternoon. It's nice out so I didn't think twice about them. They were out for quite a while so I went to check on them. Duncan, the Golden mix was in the yard, Snickers, the Chocolate Lab came running up to the fence nad Magnum, the Black Lab was nowhere to be seen.
Hmmmmmmm, I'm thinking. How did they get out? I went to let Snickers in and he was wet so had obviously been down to the lake for a swim. Then I started looking and calling for Magnum and, sure enough, he was missing. I sent Erica down to the lake to look for her dog and there he was, eating a dead fish. He was all wet, so had been for a swim also. When she found him, he put his head and tail down and came to her. He knew he was naughty. It used to be when we would walk him on the lake that when he found a dead fish, if he ever got hold of it, you couldn't get it out of his mouth. They have amazingly strong jaws!
I still am not sure how they got out but I'm going to be watching them while they are out now.

Freecycle
Do you like to get free stuff? Most people do. I just just reminded again, today, of a group called freecycle. The idea behind the group is to keep stuff out of the landfills. There are groups all over the country. Just put freecycle in the google search box on the right side of this page and go to their main site. Put your city and state in and find the nearest freecycle group to you. Then sign up and shop. You can find some great stuff on their and you can find a new home for your used items that you no longer want, rather than throwing them away.

Degus, weather and a new business
I haven't posted for a while. I've been pretty busy. The Degus have settled nicely into their new aquarium. I like the glass for them because it's easier to see them. They have been chewing up their wood house and they like to knock over their wheel.
The weather has been beautiful here lately. This is my favorite time of the year. It's warm but not too warm. I think the horses like this time of year too, although, the bugs are already out. Once it gets up to 80 and over, I'm too warm and hibernate in the air conditioning.
I have started a new business recently also and that has been keeping me busy. If you are looking for a business that will give you residual income, one that you can work for the next couple of years and be done, email me at mapiklfish@charter.net and I'd be happy to give you a link so you can take a look at it.
I've also put together a new website. Stop by and take a look at it. Legitimate Online Jobs has a ton of good information and LOTS of ways to earn money online. I think it's well worth the price.
Want hundreds of people sending you dollars? Leaping Dollars has tons of marketing tools and you can't beat the price.
