I’ve met the sweetest dog on earth, Sadie. All Sadie wants is a little lurve and not to be harassed by Felina. She is SO SWEET.

We walked through the door and Shirley brought Maddie down to see me, and Maddie took one look at me and was like “HELL NO”, hissed, and ran off. She’s been back to look at me a few times, but still won’t let me get close. Gorgeous but hateful, that one.

Abusing the baby.

I think it’s about the cutest thing in the world to see Felina hopping around trying to pick a fight with Sadie, who outweighs her by a thousand pounds.

Don’t let Nance fool you – her family is fun to listen to, and her kids are funny and adorable. I felt at home immediately. They started up the Wii and I played several games of Bowling. Unlike real life, I can bowl like a madwoman in the virtual world. It was way too fun and now I kinda want a Wii. I guarantee you, if Fred ever got the chance to try a Wii we’d own one in about ten seconds flat.

Last night I called Fred before he went to bed, and the first thing I said was, “This dog (Felina) is SO freakin’ cute!”

And he immediately said, “No.”

Hmph.

Lots of pictures up over at Flickr.

    Heh. Two out of three ain’t bad! I hope Maddy gives peace a chance! I guess you’re not making the eclair cake this weekend, since cupcakes sound waaay better!

    Jean, taking the stalking comment personally

  2. I love Wii bowling! Thank god we don’t have a Wii, or I would do nothing else. But I do have my own atavar (is that the right word?) on my daughter and son-in-law’s Wii.

  3. Re: Wii – I can bowl way better on it too. I average under a 100 in real and 170 in Wii land. I’m sure you should take Fred into one – the health benefits alone. I swear I throw my shoulder out everytime I play the dang thing. (My friends got one on V-day).

  4. This has nothing to do with anything in today’s post, I just wanted to comment that I watched Real Housewives of New York City and OMG.

    WHAT is Felina wearing? She looks like a wee Charo.

  5. Wii is the best thing to come out in a long, long time! Real life bowling 178, Wii bowling 233. I do the daily exercise thing which tells you your fitness age and I range from 40 to 78 years old! Real age 60. The tennis and the baseball are loads of fun but the golf stinks!

  6. I brought our wii to my parents house last week while on vacation, and my 86 year old grandmother actually bowled! She loved it! She said she’d totally rather wii bowl instead of go to rehab, but that’s probably also because she wouldn’t have to talk to other people to wii bowl.

    My dad also invited the neighbors over to bowl.

    And my mother-in-law got in on the fun!

  7. Robyn, you little sneak,can’t turn my back for a moment, you’r gone in a flash. Great photos tho’. I think you could really bond with a dog like that. I’ll bet Your cats would enjoy kicking it’s butt every day. Awww!!!!

  8. I can only imagine Nance would be a blast as well as her family and pets. It is the ones that claim “boring” that end up being the funnest to be around IMO.
    Cute pics! I think you should of threatened to bring Maddy back home if she didn’t let you take a picture and then show her just how many cats, chickens and pigs are at the Anderson’s.
    I am sure she would of vogued in no time. 🙂

  9. Hey, I think that Fred’s got a lot of nerve saying no to a teeny tiny puppy when he’s got a whole yard full of pigs and chickens! (and future goats?)

  10. My parents got themselves a Wii after playing the bowling on our Wii. hehe! They were here for a visit. I can’t wait for the WiiFit to come out in May. Why yes, I do have a gym membership, and multiple pieces of excercise equipment in my home, but I want to videogame into shape!! I’m glad you are having fun with Nance, Robyn, hopefully the kitty will let you get pics of her. And you’ll just have to buy a Wii!

  11. Glad you’re having a blast with Nance and her little gang. 🙂

    Hell, I’m in California and I’m tempted to fly to Pennsylvania just to get some of those cupcakes.

  12. Robyn, that was exactly how it worked for me! I went to visit some online friends, tried their Wii, and called my husband up and said we MUST have a Wii. We got one shortly after I came back home!

  13. Oh c’mon, how fun would it be to introduce a Chi to Crooked Acres?! Besides, you NEED a guard dog right? 😉

  14. We got a Wii on Saturday. The kids were actually complaining on Sunday that their muscles hurt! Yeah for the Wii, an interactive and physically ACTIVE game.

    I think that cup cake shop should sell franchises. A shop like that with a great cup of coffee would do very well here!
