Finally…It’s Friday

After working at the hospital this week, we managed to reach Friday mostly unscathed. It’s another cold morning around the Ranch and we’re all dog-tired after some pretty intense experiences at West Pines, hospice and the hospital. This level of tiredness requires coffee for me to be a functioning upright. This level of tiredness usually produces something similar to this.

Looks like a lot of you may be receive some moisture this weekend so we hope you are able to stay safe and dry as much as possible. Whatever Mother Nature throws at you, hope you make the most of it with your favorite beverage of choice in hand accompanied with your best friend, be they two or four-legged. Happy weekend, campers. Any special plans for the last weekend of February?

Live, love, bark❣

  1. Oh goodness, that was me the other day, waiting for my toast, wondering why it was taking so long, and then realising I hadn’t pressed the lever…
    Things are looking better today though. Hope you have an excellent weekend ahead!

    HuMom is useless without her morning latte.
    We all know it & usually leave her be until she has had a few sips.
    Most of us leave her be, Jerry Underfoot is not part of that ‘most’.

    Oh boy, my daughter and I can completely relate to your pic!!! I hope you can enjoy some nice coffee and relax a bit this weekend. It is raining here as I type this. ;-( But…the next three days are supposed to be sunny, and that makes it all okay! Hope the sun will shine on you and the Ranch, too! Oh, and that coffee pot keeps right on brewin’!

      The next few days will be in the 40’s which will be much better than the 20’s all week. And the coffee will be strong and hot. ☕️ Here’s to a pawsome week!

      Relaxing during a snow storm is a comforting form of relation around the Ranch. The quiet and beauty do it for me, every time. Enjoy your Sunday!

      Sounds like the pawfect weekend to us.

  6. I don’t drink coffee – so I’ve never done that … but several times I’ve put clothes in the dryer or plugged our space heater in and then forgot to turn them on. I should be embarrassed that it takes me so long to figure out the problem 🙂

      Yeah. That dryer thing. Been there, done THAT too. 🤨

  7. We’re supposed to get more snow here so that means more fun for me!!! My humom definitely needs her coffee every morning because we have to wake up super early for our run before she goes to work!

      Woof, woof! More snow would be welcome here too. Personally I think ‘sleeping’ through runs makes a lot of sense. No one likes running at oh-dark-thirty! 😂

    Still warm to very warm here – not quite reaching the “hot” stage but then we are heading towards the end of summer and soon the clocks will change again. Looks like you had a busy week – been fairly quiet here – not even RFDS things to do. Have a good weekend – enjoy the coffee.

    That’s why I have a Kuerig coffee maker – two, actually, in case the main one craps out – but when I’m away from home, I’m first one up so I get to set up the first pot of the magic elixir. Luckily I’m not (normally) desperate for the first cup. I pretty much just drink the stuff cuz I like the taste.

      My mom has one that uses those individual pods and when I was staying at her house while she was hospitalized, there was more than one morning when I apparently didn’t push the lid hard enough to pierce the pod. Nothing like having taste exceptions delayed after you’ve been multi-tasking while you think it’s working only to find at an empty cup staring at you. Grrrr.

        I understand completely! I’m on my 3rd warranty replacement unit already. This newest one – so far at least – seems to be the best of the batch. The last one? It was a lemon from the very beginning. That’s why I have a smaller one without a big reservoir. Just in case the bigger one decides to crap out on me.

            I need a warranty against hubby using it. No matter how many times I tell him to use the filtered water from the fridge, he still uses the tap water. Thank God I have a charcoal filter thingy in the bottom of the reservoir! Which, come to think of it, I need to replace next week.

  12. weemontyandmissmolly – - Dog lover - Obsessive learner of dog behavior - Sucker for the puppy-dog eyes - Dog mom This blog was started as a place I could spew forth all the wonderful facts about my beloved dog Monty but as I started my first post and I could hear him barking, probably at someone two blocks over bringing their groceries in from the car, I realized that he pushes my buttons as much as he brings happiness to my life. Trust me this is not a complete love-fest about a perfect dog but everything written is written with an underlying love and in hopes that someone can relate to or learn from my experience of being owned by my 18lb four-legged yorkie-x . This will be all about my pooch Monty and my family's struggle to balance what we perceive to be love for him and what he perceives as an opening to 'up' his position in the family hierarchy. Please enjoy and feel free to comment, we love interaction!! Shannon Hobson

  14. That image is me this morning. My dh set up the coffee, and as he and Milo left the bedroom he asked if I wanted him to turn it on. Sure! So I thought I’d get up to ready made coffee, but he forgot and horrors! I had to wait for that cup, standing looking at the maker, yelling hurry up! Well, yelling in my mind since my voice wasn’t connected to my mind yet. We got slippery icy snow yesterday, more today, but Milo got the go ahead to rejoin his life already in progress. Now we’re looking for a friend.
