Tony Pratt...we shall not forget you....

Let me apologize first. This should have been posted this morning. However, I've been without internet all day due to our cable company, Adelphia, switching over to Time-Warner. I was told this morning that the delay would only be two hours. Now "they " say they don't know how long it will be before we have our high-speed internet back.

So.....I apologize for this being posted so late. and to CP who actually wrote this lovely tribute and is just borrowing my blog for the space to post it.


Tony Pratt was a 43 year old food handler for Forte Food Services in New York City, the same city that he lived in for much of his life.
On September 11th, Tony was killed in the World Trade Center. Tony must have lead a very private life, for there is very little information available on him. However, in his legacy guestbook...an online tribute to those who fell that day, there are two very touching and moving entries. The first one is from a former teacher of his, Janet Bianchini:
"I had the pleasure of meeting Tony when I was his teacher. Needless to say he was my star pupil. He and his family are always in my thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace knowing that you touched and inspired my life and many others."
The second entry is from a woman whose name is Asmareli, otherwise known as Mrs. Pratt, Tony's wife. Apparently, Tony was very well loved in his lifetime...having known the affection of this woman and having been a father to two small children. Her entry conveys a deep sense of loss.
"Dear Tony,
we all miss you so much. The Holidays were especially hard this year, we are still trying to figure out how you made your "secret stuffing". All the kids in the neighborhood still talk about you and miss you too. The kids and I will forever cherish our 7 years together. You will always be my Husband, and I Love You.
Asmareli and the 2 Kids"
While there may not be much about Tony Pratt online, there is much to know about him in his real life. He touched the lives of many. His short time with his wife and children was well spent.
Rest in peace, Tony Pratt and may God keep you in His comfort and care always. You will continue to be a loving father and husband from the most beautiful view of all.
You did not die in vain. We shall not forget you.

No show

The casa was shown three times today.

Due to how exhausted I am from all this "keeping-the-house-perfect" thing that I've developed, I've decided that I'm not going to answer the phone tomorrow.
That way, the casa cannot be shown.

Who wants to go to the pool?

My dogs have fleas!!!!!

We took Andy to the vet today because he's scratched, bit and gnawed himself bloody two nights in a row. We had just put Frontline on all three boys on Monday.

Apparently Alabama fleas drink Frontline for breakfast.

Andy was infested. I won't go into the gory details.

Suffice it to say that it's sorta like when kids come home from school with head lice.

My instructions?

Bathe all three dogs with Dawn dishwashing liquid today and then again in 5 days.

Andy was also given 3 different medications to take and he's being shaved bald tomorrow morning.

Moose is being groomed (shaved down too) on Monday morning..... groomer couldn't fit them both in tomorrow....

Here is Moose before his 'Dawn ' bath....


during his bath.....


a close-up....
doesn't he look pitiful?


p.s. I have washed all their bedding in hot water and cleaned the entire house.

Now I'm going to take a Dawn bath myself because I itch from just seeing all those fleas on Andy.

P.S.S. I don't call 'Moose' "Moose" anymore. I call him 'Little Mo- Mo'. I think it suits him better. (Sweet Man even calls him Mo-Mo. Ha! and he said he never would!)

Casa de Pissy for sale: 'The Casa is Shown' Edition

The casa was shown today to a boy Little Pissy dated when she was
a junior in high school.

When they did start giving mortgages to children?



P.S. ..... this illustration is what I look like in my dreams... 'Cher's' twin....apparently....

Pissy does her civic duty....


"Fashion Police?"

"Pissy here."

"I want to report a 40 W F 40 O."

"That's right."

"40- year- old -white- female -40- pounds- overweight- wearing- overalls."

"Short overalls."

"Yes. You heard me correctly. Short. Overalls."

"Seen entering Ryan's All-You-Can-Eat Buffet."

"No, I didn't attempt a "Citizen's Arrest"."

"The Chief told me I couldn't do that anymore."

"Right. That unfortunate "incident" at the Pizza Hut buffet."

"Ummmm hmmmm.....that was me."

"No....really. I'm ok. I used my pepper spray on the perp."

"O.k....... so you'll make the arrest?"

"Oh, please. No need for thanks. I consider it a public service."

Just wanted y'all to know....

....that I might be tempted....


If Lucifer decides to send "Lorne" as his personal
emmissary....

I loved Lorne on 'Angel'
I mean~C'mon! What's not to love?!?!?
He's a fabulous singer-slash-entertainer-slash-club owner....
has an excellent sense of humor....
....and he's a snappy dresser
(you know how I am about fashion)

.....he looks good "out of character" too.

We could so hang out.

If Lorne calls me, y'all will be the first to know!
