Thought some might laugh at this...

You must have taken great pains, sir; you could not naturally been so very stupid.
Samuel Johnson

I know that we have al had days that we have thought this. Maybe not in such a "nice" way, but we have al thought it!!!

Labby friends

Roxy has a best friend and his name is Yogi. They have so much fun running around, playing and just being normal labs!!! After playing hard for a couple of hours they got quiet. And quiet isn't the best thing if you know how they are!!! I walked around to see what trouble they have gotten into. This is what I see....

They wore themselves out! they were laying together sleeping. This is a rare look at what a lab can look like! When the two of them get together we don't see this side of him very often!!!

Santa Claws

I saw that Santa Claws was coming to Petsmart!!! The girls HAD to go. Sasha went last year and I love the picture. Plus it goes for a good cause, $5.00 goes to a local shelter. So I decided that I would pay for both of the girls to have their pictures taken. So we go and I am taking both of the girls by myself.... It was quite interesting. Roxy has never been to Petsmart so the smells were too exciting for her. She never pulls on the leash but she did today. They were so excited to see everything, until Sasha saw Santa Claws. She started shaking and was totally freaked out. This is my girl who loves everyone was scared of Santa Claws!!! Roxy went first and was wonderful. Sasha was shaking uncontrollably. They did get a couple of good shots and the pictures turned out wonderful!

These turned out good and Roxy is always smiling in pictures! And Sasha's turned out good, especially since she was shaking like a leaf! This will be a yearly deal to help the shelters but it is also great for the girls. It is amazing how much Sasha has changed! If there is a Petsmart near you go and take those furbabies and have their picture taken. It helps the shelter and you get a picture of your baby!!!

Our Redneck Tree

My normal routine is to put up my tree the afternoon of Thanksgiving (if not before), but with M being sick I was nice and didn't put him through the torture of the lights and music and all that stuff that I do when I am decorating. So I finally got to put it up today!!!

Here it is!!!!

Yes it is a redneck christmas tree. I have red/white bobbers, red and green shot gun shells and deer antlers on the tree. My next thing to buy will be little bass fish lights for the tree. My tree topper is a deer named "John Deer". The tag has a "poem" that goes like this...

John Deer

Hunting his relatives started this fight,

finding a Winchester may set it right.

So don't mess with John Deer,

'cause this buck stops here!

Now it's man season so stay out of sight!

So here is my tree topper!!!

Our stockings are camo and the girls have stockings that are camo too. What can I say, we are a bunch of rednecks!!! But the most important thing is the girls in front of the tree. Roxy has a friend over named Yogi and they had been playing so I couldn't get Roxy to sit but they love the tree - a little too much!!! The tree skirt I bought off ebay last year from a shelter that had a store and the proceeds helped their shelter. I love christmas and I really love my redneck christmas tree!!!

Only 25 more days 'til christmas!!!!

Schnauzer love

This is my baby Sasha who I have fell in absolute love with.

This is her half-sister, Lola. She comes over and visits and stays with me every couple of weeks. I love her sooooo much and would love to have another white furbaby. Matt says that two is enough but I am thinking that another little one would even the odds out with Roxy!!!

Boomer Sooner!!!!

I would just like to give a yell out to that wonderful Oklahoma Sooner team that beat Oklahoma State last night. I know that my friends Matt and Sarah were watching it. I had people over and we had chili and chocolate cake and the yummy stuff. I have a feeling that Matt was yelling just as much as we were.

So now the waiting comes on the BCS polls and seeing what happens in the standings. I think that since OU was able to beat their opponets soundly at home and away they should be ranked high but all the OU fans out their knows that the inevitable could happen -- OU getting knocked out of their rightful place again.... We will wait and see....

First Snow????

Is is hunting season and I am having a hard time finding time to hunt and it is driving me crazy. Between my full time job, my part time job during the day, school and just keeping up with everything I don't have time. My weekends are spend with homework, working Saturday morning and just trying to keep a decently clean house. So I made the hard decision to not go this morning, even though Ralph shot a huge buck yesterday. I was sleeping and got a text from Matt, who is up in his tree stand - "it is snowing". I get all excited, jump out of bed (scaring the girls), and run outside to see. This is what I see.

A light dusting over the car. A little on the ground but not enough to talk of. By this time last year we had a couple of inches of the ground. But I don't want to have the after effects of the ice storm, no electricity for 9 days, freezing in my house with my baby girl. But this is the first "SNOW" of the winter so enjoy!!!!
