Interesting Day!!!

Have you ever had one of those days that's not terrible but some odd things go on that make it noteworthy? That's how my day was today. Not a bad day just a day that certainly made me laugh to myself as I recounted the day's events in my head awhile ago.

It's been a rainy day. Cold too! I'm not scared of the rain and I'm truly dedicated to my pugs. They need their long walk and I'm going to do my best each day to get their long walk in. Even if it means we have to walk in the rain. This morning we started out but the rain got harder and lightening seemed to be getting closer. So here we are a little ways away from home with the only option of jogging home. Cody understood we needed to hurry. He would run some then look back at me as if to say, "can we stop yet?". Simon wanted to eat acorns. So he was running but with his mouth open trying his best to shovel in as many acorns as possible as we whisked by. By the time late afternoon came around I wanted to attempt the long walk again. When we headed out it was raining however nothing too major. Well of course the rain ended up getting worse as we neared the end of our walk. So once again there I was jogging with 2 pugs home. I don't think I have to say this, it should be a bit obvious but pugs are not jogging type of dogs....I'm sure we all looked like a bit of a comedy routine during 2 of our walks today.

At dinner time I had things in the oven and one item on the stove. I went into the kitchen to check the item on the stove when my eye was immediately drawn to the flames that were on the stove. Yes, I said flames! That's the first time I've ever seen flames in my kitchen(any of my kitchens). I've caught a oven mitt on fire before but that was a tiny flame about the size of a flame on the tip of a match....these were FLAMES! Within seconds of me noticing the flames the smoke detectors erupted in blaring fashion. I was able to get the small fire put out on my own. But it was tense for a few moments. The flames were caused by a large piece of veggie with oil on it that had fallen under the burner. Where did Cody go during this latest smoke detector episode? Under the bed! He stayed under my bed for a very long time. I finally had to go get him and assure him everything was okay.

After dinner Simon tore up a brand new toy within minutes of me giving it to him. Then Cody went over and tried to eat the stuffing from the torn up toy. Geesh! Simon can be so destructive to his toys! And Cody can still act like a puppy that doesn't know any better than to eat stuffing. Wow!

So from jogging with the pugs in a thunderstorm to a small fire in the kitchen to the boys antics. Interesting day!
