Monday night was Zed's bath night so off came the collar and I put it back on afterwards. Obviously, it didn't click. Yesterday evening, I was petting him and realized his collar was missing. GREAT! It was his new Capitals collar and it has his rabies tag & license on it.
I was hoping it was in the yard, but called Dan to let him know and he said they walked all over yesterday morning. EVEN BETTER! I was upset, but finally thought - oh well, a couple of calls and I'll get new tags and we'll just buy a new collar.
This morning, I figured I'd walk the yard to look for it. I dropped my stuff off at the car, turned around as just as I was walking out of the garage, Zed was sniffing his collar that was laying in the grass! WOOHOO!
RELIEVE! Zed was all excited to get his collar back on and we ran up stairs to let Daddy-o know.

Savings Summary Saturday - March 3, 2012
Grocery Shopping (and other savings) this week:
Hubby used Exxon credit card, which will have points towards Upromise.
Things we got in the mail:
Then, I sent another e-mail regarding their clearance items. Starting the new year, their clearance items were changed to 33% off when before they were 50%. So, I put in the e-mail that I could do better on sale items with coupons than buying clearance and that consumers are looking for deals. I actually got a call and they left a message on our voicemail! The message said that their clearance policy is for up to 50% and to check with the manager regarding using a coupon with the clearance item. She said that as long as the coupon doesn't make it free or cash back, I should be able to use the coupon.

Book Review: Half Broke Horses by Jeannette Walls
This has been on my to read list for awhile. I read The Glass Castle awhile ago and read the review for this one and figured it would be a good read.
It was. It's called a novel, but it's really family stories - stories about Jeannette's grandmother life. Being interested in genealogy, this really touched me because I have stories that were passed on to me that I would like to pass on. This book was wonderfully done and inspirational. Now I want to start writing down the stories I know and MY stories.
