TO PERFECT PAWS, - CARLA

[jackiesdaisy1935]

Hi Carla, I don't know if you have all ready moved to Arizona yet so I wanted to thank you for the mat you made for our daughter-in-law, she will love it, it's so neat. I also want to thank you for making one for "Kona" for me, when I opened it, it made me cry. Thank you so much for your kindness and I hope you love living in Arizona. Don't listen to Angel, it's not that hot
Jackie

Okay, I'm not Carla but I'm just curious how many of YOU are still sweltering in 105 degree heat in SEPTEMBER! ! Wait, it's just ME? Ah, that is cuz it IS TOO DANG HOT!

I know I know... If I complain then why don't I move... well, just like the rest of you... the GOOD seasons and nice times of the year make it worth while... and it's always more than the weather that makes you love where you live.

I can't wait 'til Carla gets here... another Pet Talk meeting!

I hate to tell you guys but our temp here in San Diego is mid 70's and at night about low 60's. We had a great summer, no heat to speak of at all. The best time of the year here is fall., not many colored leaves around town except us we have 8 liquid amber trees which turn color in the fall, from yellow to burnt orange also have 2 ornamental plum trees which have beautiful pink flowers in the spring and purple leaves in the summer.

Two days ago we finally broke the pattern of heat here with a nice cool front. It had been over 100 degrees for 46 consecutive days. AND HUMID AS HECK!!!!!!!!! The humidity makes it unbearable But now our cool front has brought us down to the 80s with a few nice breezes. I can't wait until we get into the 60s. Much lower than that and I start to freeze my toosh off. I don't have much tolerance for cold weather, although I LOVE it. I just have to wear 20 layers of clothing!

Southern New Jersey reporting in! We have 64 degrees here right now which is our high, going down to the 50's and more of the same to follow. It is breezy and beautiful. A perfect day to shop for pumpkins and mums!

[ilovehounds]

Oh I feel bad for you guys here for the past 5 days it has felt like it was going to snow, today its bright, sunny, cool, and beautiful.

Okey enough bragging

I wanted to ask about the mats your talking about, I must have missed something, are they place mats for your dogs dish ?? because I have been looking for one to match my room. Do you have a pic of it ?? and will she still be making them after she moves ??

[aly]

I think they are welcome mats. She has a webpage with pictures but I couldn't find the link I had to it. I'm sure Jackie knows...

The link is on my website... under the "links" tab.

But here it is again !

Pet Mats by Carla

Gee, look what I started.... Pam you cracked me up with your "reporting in".. I was rolling!

And Lablover!! I love the names you gave my girls!!!! You had them all perfect... but Maddie's could also be MANIAC MADDIE! That fits her to a tee!

Right now it is 99 degrees and 11% humidity! Not too bad right now.... But the inside of my car is STILL 150 dang degrees! That is what really stinks about the heat. But, pretty soon we will be living life in the great temps, no a/c no heat, windows open and BBQ's outside while the rest of you are under 10 feet of snow... muuhahahahah **evil laugh**

Aly I know you guys really do swelter in Texas b/c of the heat AND humidity. That has got to be just awful... same with you KayAnn.

Oh, and Jackie... it should only take me about 6 hours to drive to your house... so you can expect me around dinner time I guess... I like steak and mashed potatoes by the way hee hee hee hee - you are so lucky to live where you do. I love the mountains and pines. Aren't you near Alpine or something like that outside of San Diego?

Hi Angel, I live closer to the coast, when we go up the hill to our sons house we can see the water, we live down the hill. We tease our son telling him he lives up the hill and looks down on us. We live about and I'm guessing 15 miles from Alpine. About three or four miles from the Ocean.
You are welcome to dinner anytime, tonight is "take out Chinese" don't feel like cooking. I cook three meals a day, but take the weekends off.

ilovehounds, the mats are welcome mats, I really love them. They come in different colors and she puts a picture of your breed of dog on them. She also puts something like "I love my" whatever name you want etc.
They make wonderful gifts for people who have dogs.

right now its great... theres a awesome breeze! probably in the high 70's to 80's not humid at all.. now this is my kinda weather!

[Logan]

Chiming in.....almost "cool" here in SC. Hight was 70 today!! I love it..We've been getting down to 50, low 40's at night. Very, very nice!!!!

[RachelJ]

Logan the temp here in the midwest is not that much different from yours. I did break down and turn on the furnace earlier in the week, but today was a beauty.

Jackie, my husband says your city is as close to climate perfection as it gets. If you ever feel that you don't appreciate what you have, we'll switch houses with you for the winter. The directions for the snowblower are in the desk drawer but you have to shovel a small area in the yard by hand so the dogs have a place to go potty.

[jackiesdaisy1935]

Rachel, our family moved out here from Rhode Island when I was 15 so I still remember the winters, we had to shovel out the sidewalk so the mailman could come and my Dad would shovel out the driveway and here would come the snow plow and he would have to start all over again. When I lived back there I used to love to go ice skating on the ponds, we lived in a small mill town. I couldn't get used to no snow here at Christmas especially when I was younger, but soon you get used to it, and when you miss the snow you go into the mountains about three hours from here and there is all the snow you want. We still do the usual lights on the house and go pick out our tree (thats quite another story)
At our age I think we will stay put now. Don't think I could handle the cold.
But it's a thought!
