Snowman in July

Yesterday morning started with a trip to the vet. The pup needed her annual shots and I decided I would drive her there.  She knows something is up before we even make it to the parking lot.  However, she did great and didn't panic too much.  In fact I panicked more than her.

While we were in the main lobby, a bald-headed younger man, full of tattoos (including a teardrop near his eye, spiderweb on his elbow, and tattoos on his actual head) was in there with his pitbull.  Now, I'm not terribly close-minded and understand that there may be one or two "nice" pitbulls out there, but none I have ever met. (The one I did meet a while back actually PISSED on me!)  But in this case, the owner was much more scarier than the dog.  He turned to me and said "Isn't that a schnauzer?"  "Yes," I said in a very quiet tone.  Thankfully, he mostly talked to the lady behind the desk.

Then the pup and I waited in our room for a while. She just kept walking around and looking at me expectantly. The nice vet tech came in and whisked the pup to the back for the annual fecal examine.  I'm so glad I don't have to see that.  But if I remember right,  when I was a child, the vet techs would do that in front of the humans.  Hmmm, maybe I suppressed those memories.  Anyways,  the pup is very healthy. Her weight is great and she no longer has lipids in her eye.  Which the vet said was "unusual." I guess I have a wonder-dog!

After that the husband and I went garage sellin'.  It was drizzly and cloudy so the heat was manageable. I even purchased some items and got a shopper's high.  Albeit a cheap one.  Below are some of my treasures. Enjoy!

This was my first purchase of the day. Originally, I just wanted the black bowl with the bird design. But it said $5 for the set.  I thought that meant just the four bowls but it included the plates too!  The seller stated they were from UrbanOutfitters. Score!

This red and gold bowl is quite heavy. It was marked at $8 but I purchased it for $5.  I will use it around Christmas time and set gold balls and ornaments or gold potpourri in it.  Can't wait!

My very first Christmas yard ornament.  I love snowmen!  The buyer had him plugged in to show that he worked and he looked so friendly to me. I was giddy with excitement and the husband and buyer just looked at me like I was crazy.  Eventually they both laughed with (at) me.  This purchase was for $15.

Have a good week!
