A Personal Quote

"Ever consider what they must think of us? I mean, here we come back from a grocery store with the most amazing haul--chicken, pork, half cow. They must think we're the greatest hunters on earth!" ~Anne Tyler

I discovered this quote a while back. I found it hilarious!! And true. Too true!! Whenever we carry home grocery bags full of food, first Rose greets the door with her ferocious "hound" bark. Next, comes high-pitched baying. Soon, her nose is poked deep inside our bags!! Ooh!! Potatoes!! Yum!! Corn chips!! Ooh!! Chicken!! Is it all for me....? Seriously. The "greatest hunters on earth", all right....

Thanks for commenting!!
And YOU feed your girls HOME-MADE meals.... Right? They EAT at least SOME of the grocery store's items!! ;op; January 6, 2012 at 2:30 PM
Stacey said...: haha, yep they certainly do! I actually really enjoyed making them cookies. More than I probably should have lol.

True about what you said though, that I know what's in it now. I'll use that as my excuse to make more; January 9, 2012 at 10:14 AM
Mary Lou said...: Yep. With home-baked dog treats, YOU know their INGREDIENTS!! ;)
I occasionally make Rose biscuits, and, yes, I DO enjoy mixing them together!! It is FUN, when you own a "food-lovin'" canine!! On THAT note, they are USUALLY eaten up PRETTY QUICKLY around here!! ;op
Thanks again for posting the dog cookie recipe. I am EXCITED to TRY it!! :-D; January 9, 2012 at 3:27 PM
Karen..and the girls said...: I finally had the time to grab a cup of tea and sit to read all your posts ... absolutely looooved reading all of them! Rose is one blessed baby dog-ter (daughter) =). Praying you are healing well and getting back to your joyful self! In re: to this post, that is so true, for both our furry girls, ... and my human girls too :D! Reading your post on treats is inspiring us to have a day to bake something special for our Gracie too. Your injury, encounter with wild animals, ordeal with illness and fireworks, had me wanting to read more! It also reminded me of the Lord's protection over you each and everytime. We'll be looking forward to more recipes, going on exciting adventures with you, being encouraged to love on our dogger and enjoy beautiful writing .. from a beautiful lady .. via Beautifully Unique. <3; January 9, 2012 at 8:43 PM
Mary Lou said...: Wow.... Thank-you for commenting, Karen..and the girls!! ;)
"Dog-ter".... I LOVE that!! Although I do not consider Rose my "fur kid".... I like to call things like they are.... She's a DOG.... Rose IS the CLOSET thing that I will probably EVER get to having my own daughter.... er, "dog-ter"!! ;-}
And, oh yeah: SHE IS LOVED!! Very, very, VERY loved!! ;op; January 10, 2012 at 8:13 AM

"It's A... Terrible Privilege"

{Taken from "The Avengers"}
Tony Stark: You know, I've got a cluster of shrapnel, trying every second to crawl its way into my heart.
[Stark points at the mini-arc reactor in his chest]
Tony Stark: This stops it. This little circle of light. It's part of me now, not just armor. It's a... terrible privilege.
Bruce Banner: But you can control it.
Tony Stark: Because I learned how.
Bruce Banner: It's different.
[Banner tries to read the computer screen, but Stark slides the data aside with his finger so the two can see face-to-face]
Tony Stark: Hey, I've read all about your accident. That much gamma exposure should have killed you.
Bruce Banner: So you're saying that the Hulk... the other guy... saved my life? That's nice. It's a nice sentiment. Save it for... what?
Tony Stark: I guess we'll find out.
[Banner and Stark get back to work at their respective computers]
Bruce Banner: You might not enjoy that.
Tony Stark: You just might.

I am a 31-year old American woman. I was born with multiple birth defects. Craniosynostosis. {I did not have any soft spots.} Congenital diaphragmatic hernia. {I had a hole in my diaphragm.} And Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. {I had an irregular, rapid heartbeat.} All three birth defects have been surgically repaired!! I live with "developmental delays". Learning disabilities, if you will. Such as--unfortunately--premature short-term memory loss. Oh, and I have attention deficit disorder, as well!! I do not like to evade such an issue as my learning disabilities. No. It hurts sometimes to be different. I was also diagnosed with a condition called folliculitis decalvans. {I am more than likely going to lose my hair, go bald, and unveil twain Frankenstein-like surgically-created craniosynostosis scars. Permanently.} But God is gradually teaching me that we are all, as my phrase goes, Beautifully Unique!!
