Doggie needs deoderant....... Feb 25, 2008 2:57 pm
Mood: amused, 635 Views
Things are going along very well with the adjustment of our Shiztu to us and our home.

There is a problem. He smells like "dog". I looked up deoderants for Dogs on the internet. Baking soda was recommended by one individual. He said to shake the baking soda on the dog hair and rub it in and then brush out any residue that remained.

Do any of you have a tried and true solution to this problem? Love, Pollyanna

Sometimes I wish I could talk to someone who doesn't care..... Feb 24, 2008 9:39 am
Mood: contemplative, 716 Views
Though I don't speak fearfully or sadly about where I am in my health, I realize that any mention of it to those who care, causes them pain.

Little things are happening that make me wonder.
Pain up my spine, headaches, wondering if the reality of the cancer at the base of my spine is slowly creeping up into my head.

The last doctor I spoke to told me that if that happened, I would have dizziness and headaches.

As always I'm not afraid, but I do wonder about the physical aspect of what is happening. I've made up my mind that I'm not going back to any hospital. I can't stand the IV's. So the situation feels the most comfortable in God's perfect will.

I'm not looking for condolences or pep talks. I just needed to share where I'm at today.

The name Sushi, is sticking with the Shiztu. I realized that we had removed him from everything he has known and loved, and that to take his name from him also kind of contributes to the"losses" he has had to adjust too. So Sushi it is.

Sushi has filled an empty place in my son's heart. I'm so happy Sushi is here. Love, Pollyanna

A beautiful warm fluff of energy............. Feb 23, 2008 10:04 am
Mood: happy, 733 Views
As aware of all the problems that come with them, we have a new "baby" at our house.

It's a 10 month old Shiztu dog. I have been without a dog in my home for over 10 years. But my son and I were talking about finding a dog we could name "Murphy". We began looking cautiously.

Our last little dog was a Shiztu-Lasaopso and our sons were young and he fit right in. He was a member of the family for many years.

My son has taken over the "father" responsibilities and loves it. We're trying to find the right name for him. The previous owners called him "Shushi". But Mark doesn't care for fish, raw or otherwise.

At first we tried "China". Too austere. Now we're playing with Panda. It may work.

He's a beautiful warm fluff of pure energy and bounce.

We're looking forward to the enrichment of life he will bring. Happily, Pollyanna

Almost ripped off............. Feb 22, 2008 11:32 am
Mood: annoyed, 825 Views
Almost "ripped off".

I received this official looking Boarding pass which included a $1600.00 travel voucher From Ramada Plaza Resorts OFV.

It offered a fabulous 7 day vacation which included a cruise on the Imperial Majesty Cruise Line.

It gave me a one time call to confirm my reservation which was to include a companion.

My sister told me to "Google" this and the complaints that were filed put enough doubt into the situation that I decided not to bite.

The sad thing about this, is most of the corporate world is cheating their way into the hearts and finances of a people who really would like the offers to be true.

I did call the 800 number to see exactly what I would be told. I asked about a timeshare tour and was told that we would be "required" a promotional tour for a timeshare arrangement.

After reviewing all the pluses in participating, I was told it would only cost me $689.00 for the competed cost of this fabulous opportunity. I told them I would pass.

I'm sure millions of people are receiving these boarding passes. Google it first. Love, Pollyana

Flesh eating cannibals....... Feb 21, 2008 9:34 am
Mood: contemplative, 496 Views
I watch the morning news with coffee each morning.
I've learned that watching an hour gives me the headlines of what has happened within the past 24 hours. Then I turn it off.

I have to say that everytime I see an issue that involves the paparazzi, I feel angry and a little ill.

At this time, my heart goes out to a young woman who made it to stardom at a very young age.

She's obviously confused about the changes in her life. My interpretation is that motherhood, and her hot 6y image do not reside in her comfortably.

She's struggling, running, and hurting big time. She's a young woman in transition.

I can say I absolutely hate the paparazzi for pushing and shoving their way into her path. It would be bad enough for any young woman to deal with without the hovering cannibals. I also hold the TV news media up for chastizement for profitting on her situation by showing this horrible disrespect for her by the pavarazzi. I don't find it interesting in the least.

I have been on picnics where the flies and the bees would not let us eat our lunch. Even going into our mouths, the relentless pests would fight for their morsel of whatever we were eating. It was terrible. There were times when we had to retreat to the car and roll the windows up.

The pavarazzi are like those same hungry bees and flies. What they are struggling to capture of the perversive in life, for money, is indescribible at a decent level.

What little I see on the tabloids and the daily news makes me sick. As soon as I see what the picture is about, I look away.

This young woman has been on the verge of going over the edge. She may ultimately take her own life. This is not entertainment. It's a tradgedy

I do not respect anyone and especially the pavarazzi when true pain and heart issues are making the individual sicker.

The LA Police are stepping in. They are begining to arrest the pavarazzi who are like bees after blood. Thank God someone has seen the situation as I have. When starlets stop having an entertaining life, and it goes beyond real, you would think some decency would prevail. I feel better now. Love, Pollyanna

"Inch worm, inch worm.".......... Feb 20, 2008 3:10 pm
Mood: happy, 532 Views
When my sisters and brother were little, we had days called, "Up and down days". What that meant was the clouds would cover the sun, and then the sun would come out again. sometimes throughout the whole day. Today was an up and down day.

We were out running errands this morning. Some of the puddles were too deep to take the little Miata through. So we had to turn around and head for higher ground.

The trees are beginning to blossom. I saw some Marygold's someone has planted in their yard.

The little song about the inch worm came to mind. I can't remember all the words, but I remember the melody.

From that my thoughts turned to the perfect creation in God's little creatures. Bees that pollinate, and earth worms that eat the earth, pass it out and airrate the soil. All the little lady bugs and little bugs we don't know the names for. They all move like they know their purpose and are on track to get there.

Life's littlest creatures don't have any real problems because they instinctively know what their task is supposed to be. Aside from being bird food, and having short life spans how wonderful to be so happily engaged with their part of life. Smelling flowers, and flitting from one plant to another.

"Inch worm, inch worm, crawling through the Marygolds.....can someone finish the lyrics. Love, Pollyanna

"Quit wearing your feelings on your sleeve"?....... Feb 20, 2008 10:27 am
Mood: happy, 502 Views
ShantiMai responded to a post I wrote. A part of what she shared had to do with my "grit and determination".

When I was growing up, my Dad would often say, "quit wearing your feelings on your sleeve". For the life of me I did not know what he was saying to me. I can remember looking at my sleeve and wondering what on earth he ment.

Here I am at 64, soon to be 65 in the near future. I want you to know that I finally understood what he meant just a short while ago.

I have learned that it doesn't hurt to be hurt. Only if you let it hurt.

I have learned that I can take a lot of whatever life may dish out, and come back fighting.

I have learned that men are only flesh and blood. They're not super heros or knights in shinning armor. They're just as human as a crying woman.

I have learned not to give what I can't bare to part with.

I have learned that it's more important for me to love than to be loved. Most people don't have a clue as to what real love is anyway.

I don't throw people away. I allow for misunderstandings and take time and effort to talk and understand whatever problems may come up. They do for everyone.

There's a lot more that I have learned. One is how to be patient and happy as death MAY be approaching. I'm grateful for everything and everyone. I am blessed and know it. Love, Pollyanna

Doctor's at Walmart? Feb 19, 2008 1:05 pm
Mood: amused, 518 Views
On my MSN home page, it said that doctor's will be available at Walmart.

In a very serious sense, this may help bridge the gap between those who have insurance and those that don't.

On the lighter side, I've been in enough Emergency and Urgent Care rooms to imagine how it's all going to be played out.

They are open 24/7. Where are they going to seat the crowds that come in. How are they going to triage people. Will ambulances be waiting outside to transport the critically ill to hospitals.

It seems to be an answer to the closing emergency rooms at hospitals.

I do wonder if those presenting this new concept have thoroughly thought this all through.

Little old people will stay away because of the germs from sick people.

Customer service will hardly be up to the task of explaining why patients have to wait so long.

While it sounds like an answer to a prayer. I can see alot of nightmares in the situation.

If there's a "code blue" shouted out at over the PA system, to the clerks are they going to be the ones who drop everything and run into the doctor's office to give medical support.

To me, this is going to be crazy for sure. Just my thoughts, Pollyanna

The Hallmark beef scandle...... Feb 18, 2008 10:29 am
Mood: angry, 615 Views
Here in Southern California a beef slaughtering house has been closed down.

They provided meats to the school distreicts and local eating establishments.

People are being asked to return the beef from where they purchased it. The cows being slaughtered were sick and too ill to even stand. News clips have shown how the cattle are laying in deplorable conditions. Being a vegetarion does have some humane qualities about it

I guess when you're in that business you have to redefine mentally what you are doing. I couldn't do it. I would go insane.

I made a pot of Albondegas soup(Mexican meatball soup) I can't imagine eating it.

This recall is affecting local restaurants and fast food places.

What are the restaurants going to do. McDonalds',Burger King, In-N-Out burgers. This could be a financial disaster for everyone.

It's about greed at any price. What next? Love, Pollyanna

What foods make you feel special? Feb 17, 2008 10:42 am
Mood: happy, 638 Views
Yesterday I really wrenched my back. Lordie does it hurt this morning.

It's Sunday here and going to be a beautiful day. I hate it when I feel bad on such a day ful of promise.

But all has been saved! My son when and bought some frozen strawberries, prepared pancakes, and brought me a mound of pancakes topped with red juicy strawberries and whipped cream. I feel so special when I have that. I feel like royalty.

What foods make you feel special?
