Ok, it's been awhile. Nothing new happening. Just more life.
The kids, except Molly, are all in school now. Em in high school, Daisy in JH and Will in 5th grade.
Today is Molly's birthday. Her dad has her. We are doing a party when she gets home.
Laundry, laundry, laundry.
More of just the same ol stuff.
I admit it. I love Pink. And no, not the color (although that is my favorite color...). I am referring to the singer. I LOVE her. Some of her lyrics are pretty raw, but I love the message she sends to young women about being strong....not buying into the media's idea of what they should look like...and TAKE NO CRAP!!
This was the first video I saw of hers. Not at all my type of music, but the song really appealed to me.
Then there was this one. Good message.
And of course this one...which is possibly my favorite. I had my girls watch it. Over and Over.
And these are two of my current faves. Enjoy.
Our neighbors went to the dump today, and guess what they found there.
Yep. These little pups were just dumped there. So, since the neighbors are only in the area occasionally, and since they were leaving....we said we would find them homes. When we got them to the house we discovered that these pups were covered with ticks. Hundreds upon hundreds of them. It was truly sickening. We are in the process of cleaning them up. The ticks are coming off, and as far as we can tell, there are only a few left. Once these little ones are vermin free, we are going to give them away.
Aren't they cute? I think they are some kind of Rottie mix.
Anyway, we aren't keeping them. We have plenty of dogs already. We have Rocky, as mentioned before. Currently we are also looking after Bella, John's daughter's dog. She is a pit bull, and the sweetest, gentlest dog I have ever seen. I love this dog. I want to keep her. She loves me. It's a mutual thing. This is Bella.
And finally, after years of wanting, I have Jackson. Jackson was my sister's dog. He is a long-haired chihuahua. He is the one that tangled with the rattlesnake some time back. This dog is so cute and has such an amazing personality. I'm so glad we have him now. Don't let his size fool you. He is Alpha Dog around here. He rules the roost. Check out the underbite!!! Love him to pieces!!!
He appeared one day in our yard. He had a collar, but he hadn't eaten in recent history. And he was such a good dog. So sweet. So gentle.
We called him Rocky, and he seemed to like and accept the name. We made a little effort to find his previous owner, but no one seemed to know anything. And this is a small town where everyone knows everything about everyone else. With no one claiming him, we chose to keep Rocky.
He is part Heeler. Part....whatever. He likes to run down to the river and chase cows. He will disappear for days on end. We would worry at first, but now we know that he will come home. He barks at the coyotes and javelina to keep them from the house. We also don't seem to have the skunk problem that we used to.
He is loyal and will race to greet me as I return home. He comes quickly when called....assuming he is home. He does what he is told and smiles all the time. We love him!!!! And he loves us.
Rocky adopted us. I guess he just decided that we were the family for him.
I have a blog explaining how I got to where I am now.....relationshipwise.
