Machelle Has Her Say
My dog has a patch of red, irritated skin on his underside. It looks like poison ivy to me. But I have always been told that dogs can’t get poison ivy rashes. I need to find out if that is true.
I hate to go to all the trouble of a vet appointment just because he has a red belly, butt he keeps scratching it and making it redder. I guess if it is not better at all by morning I will see if the vet can squeeze us in at lunch, because I have no idea what to put on it and make it better.
Just as I was about to give up on finding a place to rent video games, I hear that Redbox will be carrying them in addition to the DVDs that they rent for $1 a night. That is great news. I love the Redbox locations and the price is more than fair. I hope they have games for all the different platforms. I like the Playstation 3 the best and those are the games I want to rent.
It seems to me that when my mother would go grocery shopping back in the day, she would stop at the butcher counter and ask for a pound of ground chuck. She sometimes asked for ground round, although I admit I do not know the difference between chuck and round. But it was important to her. I’m just happy to find ground beef, whatever the original cut, at a fair price. It has gotten so expensive lately that I am not buying much of it.
About this time of year we start seeing fireflies in the yard as the sun sets. They are just harmless little beetles who light up briefly as they fly around the yard looking for their friends. I used to run around the grass and catch them, then save them in an empty mayonnaise jar. But after one night of captivity I would set them free the next day. After all, they were not going to be happy living inside a mayonnaise jar – they wanted to fly free and be with their friends.
