Quick Post Before The Promised Post, Since...

This must be said before the regularly-scheduled kvetching...

"Momma" and Reilly wish a happy Mother's Day to all whom have been in and filled maternal shoes, and to all whom have helped those whom wear and fill maternal shoes!

Preview Of The Next Post: A Smug Camille(?!), Grooming Appointments, How Reilly Resembles "Momma", Etc..

1. Camille did indeed get smug with a jealous Reilly.
2. Both Camille and Reilly, meanwhile, have grooming appointments later today (Pictures will follow, God willing).
3. Reilly resembles "Momma" and....well, let's just say that there is a negative side to it.
4.  Etc., including anticipating to see how Mother's Day goes. 

Un poco incidental: ¡"Mama" Segura!*

As Mother's Day comes up, "Momma" has confidence in at least some things that she's doing—notwithstanding that support from "Auntie Michelle" and "Momma" is another discussion. For example, despite that "Momma" yielded less bone broth than she excepted from pulled-chicken leftovers—since she pre-boiled it on "High" and then simmered it at "Medium" for two hours, and was left with an at-the-time-surprisingly-low-to-her amount of liquid—she ended up making a bone broth that Reilly (and she herself) likes—a thick, hardy, pre-kashered broth (Even despite that it was an organic chicken, the leftovers were pre-kashered, todah rabah!). By the way, "Momma" did not have a Crock Pot^® on hand; so, she used the old-fashioned method of filling a pot with water and boiling the leftovers in water.

With "Mom-Mom", "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" does no good deed in making old-fashioned bone broth for Reilly and Camille—much less not just chucking out leftovers, mind you. Nonetheless, Reilly and Camille have liked what they've of the bone broth—both as a treat in of itself and as broth in which one treat for each of them was dipped.

With both "Mom-Mom" and "Auntie Michelle", meanwhile, "Momma" does no good deed in using the muzzle when she has to do—in fact, one of them will either take it off  when she cab before the time to take it off comes and/or not help "Momma" put on and/or put back on the muzzle. Meanwhile, Reilly has been fine with the muzzle—if, on the other hand, you think that "Momma" is abusive, you may gladly come over and help her roll over Reilly as she says, "Who rules?", since "Mom-Mom" doesn't and "Auntie Michelle" rarely does!



*Somewhat Offbeat: Confident "Momma"!

Somewhat Offbeat: Maybe This Mother's Day Will Bring "Momma" (and Reilly) Some Luck

After all, "Momma" still needs a helpmate for herself and somebody to love, and a "Daddy" for Reilly to love. Besides, Mother's Day falls on the Gregorian Israeli Independence Day and the third anniversary of ten days before "Momma" brought Reilly home.

Besides—for example and as frequently aforementioned—Reilly continues to eat "nasties" and can rarely be reached by "Momma" to get them out of her mouth, "Momma" frequently worries that Reilly will severely or even fatally self harm without "Momma" being able to do anything about it. Also, "Momma" still wants to know what Reilly's possible "Daddy" wants as both she and Reilly are getting only older—and "Momma"'s certainly getting grayer along with getting older (and part of the getting older and grayer is often due to the stress that Reilly's bad behavior can affect as well as having little to no support when, for instance, she has to use the muzzle on Reilly or when she wants to try using the electric toothbrush to get Reilly used to the groomer's brushes).

In short, what can "Momma" say that she hasn't said before regarding needing a helpmate and someone to love, and a "Daddy" for Reilly to love? You'd also think that Yehovah (though He is nonetheless righteous and just in all of His ways) would help "Momma" and Reilly out—though He often doesn't seem to do so (notwithstanding that He owes neither "Momma" nor Reilly anything).

Meanwhile, who on Earth could resist having this "dogter" (on the right) and furniece (on the left)?

Quick Anecdote Regarding A Jealous Reilly

When "Auntie Michelle" came home from hanging out with a friend yesterday, Reilly (according to "Auntie Michelle") pushed Camille away and to the wall side, and even had her paw around her neck! Of course, "Momma" will have to check with "Auntie Michelle" in the morning. 

Excuse "Momma" For Being A Worried Mamaleh!

When Reilly got a piece of raw sweet potato last night, of course "Momma" worried. After all, "Momma" couldn't get Reilly in time and had a knife in her hand to cut off what she thought were moldy pieces—since other recently-bought sweet potatoes were moldy and had to be thrown away—and she couldn't just pick up the piece. Of course, "Auntie Michelle" didn't exactly help—and when "Momma" fetched a piece of the trash can to show "Auntie Michelle", "Auntie Michelle" said, "It looks fine."

As "Momma" said, excuse "Momma" for being a worried mamaleh! 

Mostly Offbeat: Two Scares Just In An Hour Or Thereabouts, And One Yesterday

1. Scare One: "Momma" almost tripped over Reilly's leash, and one can imagine why her heart rate went up.
2. Scare Two: Part of the reason that night-owl "Momma" is still up when she was about to wrap up—as she promised Reilly—was the scare that news followers everywhere had: needlessly to say and notwithstanding the scare, the co-owner of Corgi cohorts of Reilly and Camille is alive.
3. Scare from yesterday: When (assuming that "Momma" interpreted her Feedjit and Clustrmap results correctly) "Momma" saw that a certain person whom regularly reads about Reilly was in Boston, she freaked out until she read that the crash in Massachusetts happened in Billerica. Meanwhile, "Momma" and Reilly send their condolences to the mourners in Billerica. 

Somewhat Offbeat: Two Things That "Momma" Has Explained To Reilly Multiple Times, One Of Which She Has Also Explained To Fellow Humans Of Hers

As patient Reilly continues to wait for night-owl "Momma" on a daily basis, "Momma" thinks about something that she's explained to Reilly multiple times: "Momma" even sometimes gets a goofy look on her face when she thinks about a certain person whom could be in her and Reilly's lives; and to not have an answer from that certain person gets hard especially since "Momma"'s pretty much implied here and explicitly to Reilly how she feels about him, and Reilly seems to think that he's a person whom should be in her and "Momma"'s lives.

By the way, let's just say that "Momma" has a few not-so-nice words for those whom can't figure out by now why she frequently mentions that she needs a helpmate for herself and a "Daddy" for Reilly—especially because many of them don't want to figure it out, and how (un)fortunate they are to have never suffered quite a bit of what "Momma" has suffered or have had anything that they've suffered affect them or their pets (since, for example, they apparently have no need for compassion).

Reilly waits patiently for "Momma" on a pile of "blankies" as "Momma" wraps up for the night.

A Patience-Tried Reilly, How To Bribe Cam For Pictures, Etc..

Even though "Momma" is feeling somewhat better from yesterday, she has a "dogter" whom is not happy with her. In fact, said "dogter" tried to follow "Auntie Michelle" and Camille upstairs, as well as whine and whimper. Meanwhile, she waits once again for "Momma"*.

Speaking of waiting, Camille also was patient with "Auntie Nicole" yesterday: she let "Auntie Nicole" take a few pictures, especially ones for "Mimi":

To Cam: "Say 'Hi, Mimi!'"

However, Camille was not patient with "Mom-Mom" during brushing. Since (like Ralphie with his "BB-gun mania") Camille with gourmandia no "knows no loyalties" (as Ralphie would say), and "aunt-uition" kicked in for "Auntie Nicole"—in other words, "Auntie Nicole" knew that Camille still wanted to be in the kitchen as "Mimi" pulled the chicken (none of which either Reilly or Camille has had so far 🙁). Of course, "Mom-Mom" wasn't happy about "Auntie Nicole" pointing that out!


*Hablando de paciencia, una nota incidental á un persona cierto: yo todavía quiero una respuesta clara de tí. ¿Mi suposición es que pienses que a lo mejor estás eso persona cierto que Reily y yo necesitamos estar en nos vidas, pero es mi suposición correcta? Continúo esforzándome estar paciente mientras espero para tí dar una respuesta clara. Especialmenmte si Yejovah te dice me dar una respuesta clara, dame una respuesta clara: no tener una respuesta afecta una mí confundida y desconsolada por el bien de mí misma y por el bien de Reily.

Somewhat Offbeat: Another Usual Kind Of "What the ****" Day & More Pictures

Today is a little different, though, as "Momma" wasn't hunching over with nausea or trying to not throw up last time—and she also couldn't feel her stomach hurt, spasm, or do whatever it's doing as she tries to type. Perhaps exhaustion partly explains it. Meanwhile, as Reilly patiently waited for "Momma" on Monday night and snuggled by her during the day, she made clear that the exhaustion especially exacerbates her hatred of having her picture taken:

"Fine time to take a picture!"

"!אוי; לא! אני לא אוהבת את זת"

"Professional Lap Sitters", Indeed: Reilly Claims "Momma"'s Lap; Camille Later Claims "Mom-Mom"'s Lap

1. When "Momma" was sitting outside with Reilly and Camille, "Who wants to sit on my lap?" became answered by Reilly blocking Camille and jumping on "Momma"'s lap—and Reilly (as "Momma" recalls) jumped seamlessly (at least once she jumped to blocked Camille).
2. When "Mom-Mom" got the electric brush for Reilly and Camille, "Who wants a treat?" became answered by Camille actually jumping onto "Mom-Mom"'s lap to be brushed and get her treat for being brushed.

Two Reilly Highlights (Ri-lights?) For the Night

1. Reilly once again refused to "go potty" without a belly rub, and she gave "Auntie Michelle" an "eyebrows and all" look when "Auntie Michelle" suggested that she "go potty" prior to getting a belly rub next time. She also was on the hunt for a mysterious creature ("[F]reaked out, but determined.").
2. "Momma" has realized for a while that she herself inadvertently ended up naming Reilly for other Jewish matriarchs, including Rosalia Korschová Munková—and she thought that only "Auntie Michelle" did that with Camille. Meanwhile, she's pretty sure by this point that the Rosalita "McCoy" Reilly was Sephardic through her father.

"Will Tolerate Pictures For Scritches And Belly Rubs"

That is all.

(And see, "Mom-Mom", "Momma" does love Reisy.)

Of Course, Not Only "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" Has Rough Days. For Example...

Yesterday was a rough day for Reilly when some pizza burned in the oven (and everyone knows how Reilly likes when the oven has any smoke emitting from it), and "Momma" had to (try to) soothe her with scritches and belly rubs (which at least somewhat worked, even though she widely-eyed shook and panted for a bit). Reilly also had to deal with Camille being a little aggressive in the pre-walk excitement earlier. This isn't to say that there weren't points at which Reilly was entirely innocent in everything or that Camille didn't suffer anything rough during the day, though.

In fact, Reilly scared Camille away from her own crate because of the treats in it; and Camille absolutely refused to get into her crate during naptime (She ended up napping by exhausted "Auntie Nicole".). To make things even worse for Camille, Reilly decided to take her treats out of her crate once naptime was over for both—notwithstanding that "Momma" guessed that Reilly might want to be out of her crate to join Camille and her "Mama" imperfecta—and she got aggressive with Camille when Camille's turn to get treats after being brushed came, and "Momma" had to try to roll her over.

By the way, "Momma" will not be changing Reilly's name (or any related name for that matter), despite that, that might be rough for Reilly if she could understand why having "Reilly" might be rough for a while*.

*Long before a certain ex newsman became an ex newsman for a reason, "Reilly" was named "Reilly" because of family history and other factors, notwithstanding that a human "Reilly" became a shame among the Roghallach clan—then again, "Momma" and Reilly don't have to worry about that (at least as much) because Reilly's a MaltiJewish Reilly, mainly through her "Pop-Pop"'s side (and Camille, e.g., is named partly after "Auntie Nicole"'s and "Mimi"'s great-four-times-grandmother Dominika Wierzbinska Czerniecka).

Somewhat Offbeat: A Usual "What The ****" Kind Of Day For "Momma"

Mother's Day might definitely (forgive the language) suck for "Momma", and not because of Reilly—"Mom-Mom" might make "Momma"'s Mother's Day hard, as if she isn't increasingly making life hard for "Momma" in general and in terms of being a good "Momma" to Reilly. For example:

1. "Mom-Mom" gave "Momma" a hard time for trying to make coconut-flour matzah on the last day of Pesach, and—unless "Mom-Mom" reads this blog entry like she read the one about her own remarks or somehow else finds out that "Momma" was already worried about Reilly having gotten some coconut flour that got onto the floor—the fact that Reilly got some coconut flour and continued to try to get coconut flour despite "Momma"'s explicit "No!" will remain unfound out by "Mom-Mom"—and so will the fact that "Momma" called the vet because she was worried (The vet stated that Reilly should be fine, by the way.).
2. "Mom-Mom" also gave "Momma" a hard time for forgetting to put sweet potatoes in tin foil before she baked them (Excuse "Momma"'s ADD, "Mom-Mom"—by the way, reading that blog entry apparently did not change "Mom-Mom"'s attitude toward "Momma")—this is notwithstanding that "Auntie Nicole" later had to tell Camille to get away from near the open oven as the baking pan was cooling.

😩. At least "Momma"/"Auntie Nicole" knows that she may not ever be the one cooking anything if and/or when she has a helpmate for herself and a "Daddy" for Reilly*.

*En paso, a un cierto persona: ¿eres seguro que yo estaría una buena madre si yo me convertiría una madre a niños humanas? Ya estoy una mala "Mamá" a Reily. Incidentemente, perdonáme si mi español es imperfecto. Por lo que sé, no tengo la facilidad para los idiomas que tienes.

Reilly Does Not Have Astigmatism!

"Momma" does not know where "Auntie Michelle" got the idea that she does, notwithstanding that "Auntie Michelle" herself has astigmatism and would be able to notice astigmatism better than "Momma" would. Besides, "Momma" looked at Reilly's eyes today, and she didn't see signs of astigmatism—or at least any significant signs—and the vet didn't see any signs at Reilly's vet appointment. Even "Mom-Mom" saw no signs—and the only reason that "Momma" asked "Mom-Mom" is to have someone else off of whom to bounce "Auntie Michelle"'s idea.

By the way, "Auntie Michelle" apparently saw it in Reilly's right eye, which certainly is not affected by astigmatism; and "Momma" had the impression that it was Reilly's left eye to which "Auntie Michelle" referred!

Somewhat Offbeat: A Few Remarks From "Mom-Mom" Over the Past Few Days & A Note To Someone

"After Mom-Mom" said that "Momma" doesn't love Reilly as much as she loves Cam, "Momma"/"Auntie" got incredibly sarcastic with her and sent her this picture—which she took for her phone wallpaper—this morning: "You're right: I don't love Reilly or ever try to take pictures of her."

She also sent an earlier picture:

"She wanted me to take her picture."

"Mom-Mom" later said that "it's about time" instead of apologizing to "Momma".

Remarks like that sting, and especially after (for example) "Mom-Mom" already accused "Momma" of being "lazy" for not putting Reilly's soft food in the fridge right away or in a jar a few days ago—notwithstanding that "Momma" put it in a bag and tried to put a lid over it before she and Reilly went "night nights"—and "Momma" neither knew or heard that she was supposed to put it way, as she thought that "Auntie Michelle" was supposed to put it away that time. But if se did hear it, she forget that she heard it due to her ADD—and she can't just "train [herself]" to manage it better.

Speaking of which, "Momma" has a quick note for someone:

¿Porqué hiciste pensar que yo fuera áspera con respecto a qué ella dijo a mí a eso un momente? Yo no fuera áspera. Por cierto, pienso que entiendo quiere con respecto a una situación específica en relación a Reily; pero dime lo que quiere á alguno punto, por lo menos si y/o cuando Yejovah quiere que dime lo—¿puede lo hacer?—y esto es muy dificil por mí pedir, pero necesito lo hacer porqué, por ejemplo, no tener una repuesta clara afecta exacerbaciones de mi enfermedades mentales. 

Easter 2017 Card From Reilly

Hoppy Easter From "Momma" and the Easter Rei-bbit!

PS Reilly would not put that paw down for anything—when she wants her belly rubs, she stretches her legs out and keeps that one up in particular.

Happy Easter From "Momma" and Reilly!

Be on the lookout for an Easter card from Reilly soon—she (albe very begrudgingly) did a Passover card, after all.

By the way, remember that Easter/Resurrection Day/ Día de la Resurrección/ יום התחיית/ , celebrates miracles*—including the Exodus*, since Easter commemorates Aviv/Nisan 16, the day after Israel left Egypt and the day on which Jesus is believed to have risen from the dead in 3793 (on April 5, 33)—and the hope of the Resurrection Of the Dead—which is a big deal for pets and pet owners alike, since no human or animal is guaranteed the next moment, let alone tomorrow—and especially nowadays, humans and pets are either almost as much as or equally in danger of not seeing each other tomorrow (Ask, e.g., Gary Fisher ☹—his "Mommy" is not here to celebrate Easter with him.).


*And "Momma" really needs a miracle—if (and, as "Momma" and Reilly believe) the Resurrection did happen, can't God perform an albe-smaller-and-nonethless-important miracle to a "Momma" whom needs miracle after miracle, even when small miracles like occasional IBS-flareup reliefs happen for her and Reilly's sakes?
