back from stephen kingville

we had a great trip to pville (perryton not plainview). the girls and i headed out of happy after monkey's wonderful veterans day program. all we did was to hang with mimi and watch movies. her highness and monkey did major snuggling with the mimi. i noticed something this trip that struck me as strange. this is the first time that my mom's house didn't give me the creeps. most of you know that my mom lives in my grandparents old house, and some of you know that it has always given me the creeps. i have nightmares about this house since i was like 4. for some reason it didn't bother me at all this time. my aunt sue came to visit on sat afternoon, but she left early because one of her monstrous Pomeranians bit monkey. it didn't break skin, but it bruised pretty bad. when we got back finch told us that the girls had gotten out on friday while he was gone. mulan was hit by a car and we can't find ella. they have been running the interstate for about a week now. short of chaining them we couldn't figure out how to keep them in the yard. monkey was terribly sad at the bad news, but she perked up when i told her that she could help bathe bruno and that he could be an indoor dog again. it's always nice to go visit, but it sure feels good to be home. i hope everyone had a great weekend.
