Charming Eddie's Report

 


Eddie here. I am feeling much better since my unexpected surgery. My teeth are so clean they squeak. Mom says my breath is no longer disgusting, but I prefer not linger on the other procedure I was given without any warning! Mom told me it was for my own good. Can you believe she actually said that to me?

I am sitting here with Mom while Bo and Dad are engaged in a game of catch without a ball. Bo prefers to have his wubbies tossed down the hall by Dad. He is a strange little fellow, our Bo. Why would you want to put all that energy into chasing the same thing over and over again? 

Mom got a package the other day. There were 3 sets of clothes for the babies we went to see. She calls them "the twins". She also calls two of her own children "the twins". Apparantly these are children born on the exact same day. She has gone a little nuts over the newest twins, calling them delicious. I hope she didn't actually take bites out of them!


I sniffed the outfits to make sure they were okay to send to the babies, Jonah and Josiah. I heard Mom telling Dad that Jonah just got his second cast on his club foot and then got his tongue clipped. WHAT? Why would they cut his tongue out? That must have been so very painful, I cringe just thinking about it! 

Mom says they didn't cut his tongue out. That was a relief until she told me it was necessary to clip the membrane under his tongue, because he was tongue-tied. After thinking about this, I decided that they must have attempted to untie it before they cut it. I hope he was asleep when they did it, like I was when they cut into my ...... never mind, we aren't going to talk about that!

Mom says we will need to plan another visit with the babies soon because they are growing so fast. I am not sure how I feel about this. There is a dog there. He is a big dog, his name is Bruce and he stays outside, away from the babies. I am glad he is not around the babies, because he looks mean and scary. He is black like us dogs, but he is a German Shepherd and really big. Toni says she could give him a good lesson if he attempted to come after us dogs, but I think she is all talk and no action. Okay, I may be wrong about the action part .... she would run like the wind. I heard Mom say that. I think it means she can run fast. I know she can run fast, but how fast can Bruce run? I prefer to just bark at him, from a distance.

That is all the news here. Things are finally back to normal and I hope they stay that way! Until next time, this is Charming Eddie signing off.

    glad to hear your breath is no longer disgusting Eddie. Also glad to hear the twins are doing well, but geez, a tongue tie and a club foot? That's rough, but he will be fine with his treatments.

      I heard my Mom tell the twins' Mom that Jonah would be fine. She said she knew this because one of her children was tongue-tied, while another had a club foot, too! My Mom knows a lot!

    I see that you are inspecting the twin garments. Don't do anything too strenuous in your delicate condition.

      I am feeling fine now. I heard Mom tell the vet that I was a really laid back, that if I were any more laid back she would have to breathe for me. What an odd thing to say!

    I am begging you to write a dog book. These are wonderful.

      You know, that might be a good idea. After all, Wall-E wrote a book. He told me that it required many hours collaborating with Mom. I like being with Mom, so it should be easy!

  Let's see if I did this right! Hopefully I will be able to add some pictures. Only one way to find out .... This is where it all started. On a rainy day in October, 2021. The first view of the rest of our lives. Here he is, the love of my life pondering this property he had proclaimed to be over our budget.  Here is the front view. The drizzling rain makes the house look like it needs a good power wash. Not to worry, we have one. While I am not a big fan of the screen door entry, this can be changed. This is the view that convinced HeWho proclaimed this property to be over the budget I had set to make an offer that very day. You can't see it from this picture, but a trout stream with rushing water hides down below. I will eventually get a good shot when I finally start to make some steps down to the water. We are old and do not want to fall and suffer any broken bones! The area behind the stream is never to be developed. This existing tiny shed will become my sewing room. I ...

  While awaiting the newest stove delivery I have been working in my She Shed, but the last several days have been overcast, damp and chilly. This has kept me inside. I tired quickly of Netflix and TV in general. Idle hands make me anxious, so I employed the help of HeWho sits and got down all the boxes of photos to sort. I have been saying I would get to them one day when I had nothing to do ..... Strolling down memory lane with each stack. I kept stopping to text pictures to my kids and laughing with them. Then I hit a stack that made me profoundly sad and happy all at the same time. It was pictures with my sister on a cruise with her friend that became mine, too. We had so much fun despite me being homesick. Here we are departing. The winds were high! This is my sister. My big sister, always ready to take care of me. My only sibling. This is Gloria, partner in crime to my sister's antics when I wasn't around. Three three of us indulged in a rum drink called "the Love Co...

Final Chapter!

  So, you may recall that the delivery did not happen on Tuesday, but was supposedly changed to Thursday. I was skeptical. I was right to be skeptical. HeWho patiently waits on hold, was told that the stove had yet to arrive from Atlanta. They were unaware that he had been notified by text that the stove had arrived in Murphy the day before ad was ready for pick up. When he confronted the store manager with this bit of information, the excuses began once again. The delivery truck was already out for the day and nothing could be added. The stove did not arrive before 6am and therefore could not be added to the day's deliveries. Judge Judy is apt to tell a witness that if you tell the truth, you don't have a need to remember what you said earlier. Finally, HeWho has had enough! He told the liar on the other end of the phone to cancel the order and refund our credit card. I was listening and can tell you I have never heard such relief in a man's voice as the liar's had. He...
