Happy Valentine's Day

A jolly Valentine's Day to all of you.  It IS just about my favorite holiday of the year, besides my birthday and Thanksgiving and IS much more low-key than any of them.

But, even though it's a sweet day, Romeo the puppy still is using the recycle bin outside the the backdoor as his own personal toy box. Obviously he's unaware that certain behavior is unacceptable.  Huh.  There are plastic milk jugs and 2-liter soda bottles all around the yard, as are torn up pizza boxes.  We look so 'not nice' out back.  Plus, he's taken to tugging the clothes off of the line when nobody's outside.  And he jumped into the air and took down the clothespin bag and began to remove the stuffing from it (it's made of quilted fabric).  He's annOYing.  He really hates to be alone, so when Opal isn't out with him, he's horrible.  Just horrible.  Luckily he's not one to retaliate or bite when you have to correct him.  He usually just pulls away, whacking his head into whatever's nearest, then walks away.  He's cute, just a bit low in intelligence sometimes.

But regardless, it's been a good day.  I've been showered with Valentine-y goodness from the girls and my main squeeze.  Even a new teacup from Anthropologie, always a good idea, among other things.  I'm reciprocating with homemade spaghetti and some heart-shaped chocolate/chocolate chip muffins I'll make after he goes to FedEx tonight.  Such a busy day.

Must go now.  Hope your day's been happy!
