GDT PENNY'S PAPER-CRAFTY CHALLENGE - RED, WHITE and BLUE

Well, this post is way later than I was hoping it to be, but I do have an excuse and it's a good one!!  Where to begin...  I have been trying to lose weight for some time now so I signed up to do training with a friend of mine who is a personal trainer.  She has equipment in her house to workout so I go over there in the morning after the kids are at camp or I have a babysitter here.  This morning, my babysitter took my 3 older kids to camp and my youngest was at a sleepover so it was just me and the dogs, but the dogs were outside.  When I went to call them in, only one came in and then I heard wimpering and realized the other dog was stuck under my deck.  I tried to get him out for 1/2 hr. with no luck and then left because I was 15-20 mins. late.  While working out, I called my hubby, who came home for 10 mins. and then had to leave to go to a work outing - mind you he had to get up at 3:20am today to go to work, so he's not in the greatest mood - and dog still under deck.

My babysitter called her brother to come over and he dug a huge trench on the side of the deck, then we found an opposum sitting underneath the deck, but in the more open part, so I was face to face with that animal.  Another animal with a bushy tale also ran out and then my dog all of a sudden is out and then went back under and it took another 10 mins. to finally get him out and he is filfthy!!



Meanwhile, after I got both dogs in the house, I went to pick up my youngest at sleepover and somehow my dirty dog jimmied open the gate by the kitchen where the dogs stay and got mud all over my stairs and pooped all over my youngest's carpet!!  That was another 1/2 hr. of cleaning up.

Aside from all that, I am pleased to be GDT for the NEW CHALLENGE this week at

Congrats on the GDT!! Reading you dog story reminded me of my son going to work (at 5.30am) and seeing a rabbit calmly cleaning himself on his front lawn - then popping straight under their decking; Matt describes it as the worlds biggest rabbit hutch :-) He rubbed his eyes and rang his wife who said she'd seen it the morning before but thought she was seeing things so ignored it!! TFS, Dee
