Mission Status: Accomplished

Well I'm back. This time I really did go somewhere. Colorado. Vacations are great! Hubby had to work the first half, otherwise we probably wouldn't have gone. I've already been putting up some pics on Flickr gonna put up more soon. Its gonna take a while however, I took over 700 pics. Gotta luv 'em didital cams.This shot is from the first leg of the trip. (Pic #46) Let me tell you, the Texas Panhandle is flat!
But even there, the unmistakeable beauty of Texas shines through...

This last one is acctually from early in the second day, still in Texas. (click on the pic for a larger view)

A, last but not least, say good buy to shaggy little Shorty. Pic #48

No, he's not leaving. Gotcha goodd didn't I? Nope, its all the extra hair thats leaving. He's getting shaved next week. I wonder if it'll be easier to tell what mix of dog he is?
See ya later.

Tada!

Hey every one! Its time for my favorite game. Extreme catch up time! Been a long time since my last personal post. I didn't upload anything in May, I haven't even organized any of the pictures I took in May.
We did keep the stray, His name is now Shorty. Pic# 38

We have no idea what mix of breeds he might be, even our vet just says, "well, he's a cute mutt!"
If you have an idea of what breed he may be let me know (I kinda wanna see what others think he is.
Our second dog, Dooley, (who we only had for a little while before the third) has settled in quite well. Pic #39We got him from Furever Friends, a local rescue agency. They said the was found running loose in a field, matted hair, burrs everywhere, thin as bones, and DIRTY! I believe 'em. His ribs were sticking out still when we got him. That was after a week of good feeding.
So now we permanently have 3 dogs in the house. I call them the 3 Headed Dog Hydra. I need to upload the vid of them in action. It truly is a mass of swirling dogs.

In other news, an old friend from MD came down to Texas. However his reasons for coming were different from past visitors. (J sorry I didn't get a pic of ya'll when you came down. I even had my camera in my hand at one point.)
He got engaged.Congrats Drew~n~Sarah!

Tata for now!

News Flash!

There is another dog in the house. That makes three. Hubby came home from the store Friday, and as he opens the door of his truck, this little dog tries to jump in it. When he checks for its collar, it started licking his face. The dog didn't have any tags, or a collar, but looked recently groomed. Hubby put the dog back on the ground and took the food back in the house. 'Bout 30 min later when he came out to pull the truck into the garage the dog followed him in. We've taken him in for now. I made fliers and put them all around. Already other people who want the dog are calling, but no word from the original owners. I'm afraid that he may have been dumped. He is a cute little bugger. I almost want to keep him, in fact every day it gets harder to think about letting him go. But if his family calls for him , thats a different story.

I'm Back!

Lots to catch up on, but only posting some for now. I mentioned last time that I might get another dog. I did :) ! We got a Basset Hound. He's Droopy Dog! The name he came with is Dooley.
He's sweet, calm, (a.k.a. lazy) very slow paced. His running speed amounts to the fast walk on our other dog. Simba literally runs circles around him. But he's a good dog. Pic# 33.

Where to start?

So I've been behind. I have been taking pictures, and thinking of things, and scribbling things, just no typing. Its been well over a month, probably best to start where I left of. Letsee, there was a beautiful sunrise...

• Pic # 20
  

• An Origami Money Bird with a large tail, #21

• The Lunar Eclipse, #22 & #23

• A sign with good advice, #24

• Sending off a friend to Iraq, #25

And that was Febuary (Izat Spelled Right?)
Now March.

• A flat tire outside Bennigan's, giving lots of time to take pics of the Roadhouse, #26

• And experiments with macro, on the same day, #27.

• A largish brown spot appeared below my eye, # 28.

• And then it snowed in Texas! #29

• The next day school opened late, and my dog refused to touch the snow, #30

• A few days later buds appeared on our tree, #31

• Then I saw some longhorn cattle on a detour home, #32.

Its a lot to one in one day, but I might be getting a second dog, so it was either catch up now or wait for an even longer period of time. Hopefully soon I'll get these up on Flickr, so that the larger size is available for viewing.

Funny Dog

My dog has a weird obsession for fingers. I have no idea where it came from or what triggers it. He doesn't bite, or even suck. He just wants someone's fingers to sit in his mouth upon occasion.

Day 4

Yeah, I know that quite a few days have lapsed in between day '3' and '4'. I've been busy, but not even doing NaNoWriMo. I did get 377 words down, about 1 days work. And then the nitty-gritty of daily life came flooding back in an unbeatable tide. Laundry, dishes, vacuuming, 8 1/2 hour work days, cooking, and trying to do God's will for my life. I need to change the order in which I do things, get back to God first. I started this post with the thought in mind that I'd post this picture.I think of it as..

"Please sir, I'd like some more."

I had just feed the dog, and he took a bite. Hubby just came home, so dogie had to go and see if he had any better. For quite some time our dog just followed him down the hall, expectantly waiting. In stead of putting just that paragraph up I feel more needs to be said. Like the dog getting distracted, I've let other things get my attention away from God. I need to make God my top priority again.

Sorry got behind.

This lovely flower arrangement was at my mother's house, Thursday night. I forgot to rotate it with my software before I uploaded it, oh~well.

Here's our dog again, can you tell I'm strecthiung for pics? The reason his head is blurred is that he's licking his foot. This was Friday's pic.

This is a corner of our lining room. The rest of the walls pretty much look the same, 'cept for one blank wall, which will soon be full of pictures. Saturday's pic.

I can't Sleep.

So I'm trying to go to sleep and it hits me there's like 3 things I need to do before I can sleep. So I do them. And just as I'm heading back to bed, I remember I still need to put up today's pic. I took pics of my dog, Simba, I even gave him a bath this afternoon and almost forgot to put up his pic.

He's such a good dog. We got him at the pound, I can't believe someone gave him up. He's housetrained, knows most commands, and is learing more quickly. So anyway~ thats my Simba.
