Happy Belated Birthday Kaiser! His birthday wish was to be a cowboy when he grows up. Until then, he'll pretend he's on the open range, riding the couch.

Who Dun It?

Last night I come home to find this..

a shredded bag of oats. Hmmm, who has done this? The battle of wits has begun!

I asked Nadean, what'ca see?

She claimed to be in the well house. I believe she's covering for someone!

I go to Bunny, what'ca see?

Bunny informed me that she was out all night with Rabbit; therefore she was sleeping all day and saw nothing. Her story checked out.

I finally go to what has to be my key eye witnesses - The Cluck Family

They all proceeded to inform me that they saw the whole thing, and described the suspected as a big, gray blur. One of them even manage to catch the suspect on film -

I solved the mystery! Sully did it in the yard with the oat feed bag

It's PRESENT Time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last weekend, my husband and I went over to our best friends home to have Christmas/New Years dinner. My best friend and I have made a pact - gifts for the kids only. As I gave her son his Christmas present, up pops Gretchen, the family's daschund. It was as if her radar was going off to inform her there's a gift that needs unwrapping PRONTO!!!!!! This dog loves the excitement of presents and unwrapping them as much as a child does. I didn't get any pictures of it that night; however I went back and searched my pictures from past and have a few to share with you of Gretchen helping out at a birthday party.

Everything is Bigger in Texas

Christmas morning 2008, it was near 80 degrees and to me it just didn't feel like Christmas. Sure the joy, love and spirit was there but I was just in a dull mood. My husband knew exactly what would cure this - a drive out to some place, somewhere. As we (my husband, my daughter and myself) drove and all took turns pointing at things that had caught our eye, I was starting to shed off my dull feeling. We turned down this road that shortly became a dirt/gravel road, an amazing sight was before us. I quickly got my camera and zoomed in as far as the camera would let me. A Texas Longhorn grazing - a massive Texas Longhorn - it must be true that everything is bigger in Texas.
