Day at the Museum

I've been wanting to go see an exhibit at our local museum as it is only going to be there until April. It's called the Afterlife: Tombs & Treasures of Ancient Egypt. So I decided to drag my husband there on Valentine's Day. I enjoyed it. He was yawning three quarters of the way into the tour. They also have a small aquarium there. Here's some pics. Hope you enjoy the quick tour. It was hard to get good pictures as most everything was encased in glass.

 Doesn't this one look like it's smiling?

 A Hawk mummy. Period is 664-30 BC

 Front is Bronze figure of Bastet. Age is 664-525 BC

Rear is a cat mummy. Period 664 BC - AD 100

 Set of Canopic jars. Age 1186-715 BC. These jars held the

internal organs from the body during mummification.

 Panesittawy Coffin and wrapped mummy. Age 1069-322 BC. This coffin

belonged to a man named Panesittawy but the mummy inside was that of

a woman. Apparently it was common for this to happen.

 This is the mummy of a 2 1/2 year old girl. Age 100 BC- AD 100.

It was determined she died of appendicitis. A CT scan also showed

that her hair had been perfectly braided beneath her gilded mask.

 This mummy was discovered to be the man of the son of the 

great Pharaoh Rameses II. Age 1295-1186 BC. His body was discovered inside the

coffin (underneath him) of the Chantress of Amun Tayuhenet. He lived 300 years before

her. It is believed that the coffin was used to rebury him or possibly was just placed

in the coffin to make it more interesting. Like I was told, this seemed to happen a lot.

New Bed, Toy and Friend

Sometimes I can't tell if the week is going by too slow or too fast. It's already almost the middle of February! Geez Louise!

A quiet kind of week. Yesterday the rescue guy came back down for the day to get some more maintenance work done on his minivan. He was at my house for 8 hours, which left me no time to do any house cleaning. So today I will be busy all day. He brought down Rosie and one of his fosters Cody. At first no one liked him because he was just bouncy all over. Then after everyone calmed down, there wasn't any more growls. Holly wanted nothing to do with him, as usual. Really don't know what to do about her. She loves her Rosie though.

Here's Cody with Rosie laying down.

The other week I bought a new bed for the kids. Seems to be a hit with them both. Not sure if it's because it's nice and warm and they were both exhausted from a hectic day with their company, or if they really do love it. We'll find out.

Lucas testing it out.

 Holly fake sleeping.

And here's Pugsley and Gomez' new cheap toy.

Well I must be off to start house cleaning or I will never get it done. Hope everyone has a great Sunday, and upcoming week too!

Picked Up a Hitchhiker

I can't believe January is done and over with already!

The update from the rescue guys visit last week, the 2 dogs he brought did get adopted. One was adopted by someone not far from me. The other one was adopted a few days later by someone in North Florida. I'm so happy for the both! Here's a pic of them. Louie is the Dachshund (once in awhile he does a favor for other rescues and takes a little one), and Zeus is the Doberman. They are both very young and that's why I'm happy they both got homes. So they don't have to grow up in rescue, waiting, and can be trained to be good puppies (although Louie was perfect).

I went down to my parents yesterday and picked up a hitchhiker. His name is Finn and he's about 11 months old. He was scared and unsure at first when I got home. He wouldn't get out of my car. But then he heard Holly and Lucas barking and he was good from then on. He played a little rough, by placing his paw on their back and trying to play. He's a big boy. Holly would have none of it and did her berserko crazy thing she does. Lucas, well I didn't want him getting hurt. So they both stayed inside while Finn had run of the yard. A very good boy. He went from one rescue to another because the foster he was in had too much going on with kids in and out and he was too nervous about it. He would growl at people coming in. A good move for all. He'll find a good home.

Tried getting my paperwork together to do our taxes soon. Gomez was no help at all. Kept laying on the papers, playing with the papers, chewing on the papers. Finally got it all together though.

In the meantime, Holly and Lucas are enjoying the nice weather. Supposed to be back in the 80's this week again, but hopefully not permanent so soon.

Hope you all enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
