Dogs and Donkeys!

Jason had brought some toys for the dogs.


Jaeger already took one apart. It only took him about 5 minutes one evening and it was funny how the stuffing went flying, it really did! I need to have the camera ready when I give him the next toy so you can have a laugh also!

Video - Jason and the pups

I just picked a video with low MB to make sure it loads before I am off for work, so I don't know what you get to see, but it will be Jason, Jaeger and Rhowdie for sure, maybe a soundbite of Dan is included :-) hope you will enjoy it!

Last nights Doggy pictures :-)




















Oh, yeah, I forgot, Jason is also in these pictures, as is Dan :-)





























Here are the Democratic toys!


Movies will be posted tonight...some of us have to go to work!

Feb 24, 2008

So, we went shooting today!






It was so nice outside, we stayed 3 hours!! Shot the PPS, the Ruger, the (Dan's rifle), and the Mauser!
I would have shot with the video camera, but forgot it at home :-) All these pictures and video where done with the cell phone :-(
Jason made me shoot double handed!


and then we shot single handed!

No, we we don't have three hands!


And video with my cell phone shooting the Mauser!


Jason Mauser video!

When Jason comes visiting...

...then dig in!

More doggy walk!

Taking a break in someones driveway!
We're home and have to show off the presents Jason brought along for the pups!
Re-pup-lican bandana's! :-)
(Yes, I stole this one expression from Jason's blog...sue me! (He already gets all our money!))

Dog Walk! Just something for Tiffany :-)


I hope you will enjoy this short video clip. Jason, Rhowdie, Jaeger, and the 'Girls' (MayBee, Kristy, Hannah, and Molly)!
The best behaved one is Rhowdie...go figure :-)
We did have a good walk and the dogs did get tired out. For once I didn't have to fight Jaeger, I let Jason take care of him. Maybe tomorrow we can take them to the park and walk there. Today it was only a neighborhood walk.
Pictures will follow also, I'll let Jason post some first and then I take the once that are not as good...if there are any leftover ones.

This is how you spoil a dog, or two!

Lunar Eclipse






Yes, Dan and I braved the cold air and went out.
We went out, took a picture, and went back in, waited a few minutes and repeated the ordeal a few times. I finally got smart and put a sweater on!
Man, it's cold out there, yet it was 80 today when I drove home. But then they did say it dropped 20 degrees in 45 minutes when the cold front hit tonight, and Dan had to go out and grill our steaks -poor guy!
Dinner was good though.

Wordless Wednesday!

Jaeger's flubby cheeks! Dan was trying to get more noises, but it didn't work this time around, have to try again :-)

And Rhowdie doesn't do much at all, just goes out and protects his toys...oh, where are his toys now? Frozen in time on the ground in our freezing weather. I hope Dan did bring his toys in at 4 am this morning...poor dog, won't be let out today!

Abilene weather, now!!

It started to rain, and I mean Thunder and Lightning = Thunderstorm rain, last night. At 4 there was a sonic boom that woke even me from my slumber! The rain drops sounded like hail, we got up because we thought it was hailing big chunks and found it was only rain. So this morning as I open the blinds this is what's greeting me, a nice frozen tree in the front yard. The other tree doesn't look that bad though. Anyways, as I open the front door the two turtle doves are trying to scatter away real quick, seems the wall top is frozen also and they were having a hard time flying off...too funny, too bad I didn't know they were sitting there.
The forecast for today is freezing, now remember that two days ago, Thursday, we had a high of 73 or so, today and yesterday the highs reach 36, maybe!
Yep, this is living 'at the edge' in West Texas :-)

Newfoundland Valentine Poem



It was just to cute to pass on. I didn't write it... :-)


Fer Me Wife ...

I writes ta say I loves ya b'ye!
Cause I don't say it very much...
Everytime I tries ta cuddle ya
Ya says GET A WAY, DON'T TOUCH!

I tried ta be more gentle
Took me rubbers off outside...
When I tells ya where I was last night
Ya always tinks I lied!

Ya knows I loves me Fishin'
Ya knows I loves me boat...
But you're da life preserver
I needs to stay afloat!

So I got ya sometin' really nice
How much, please don't ask...
But you'll find it a lot easier now
When ya goes ta cut da grass!

Just pull da cord, and stand behind
Steer her as you go...
Next Valentines I'll get ya sometin'
Dat helps ya shovel snow!

So keep up da cookin' and cleanin'
You're de only one I got...
To keep me duds all washed and clean
And me coffee always hot!

You knows dat I appreciates
Your home made buns & bread...
And I hope dat it continues on
Till one of us is dead!

I loves ya b'ye!

Dan chopped wood today so we can have some fire going in the fireplace. Hope the weather in Austin is going to be nicer as Tiffany is coming back for a visit. She might regret it and would hope to have stayed up in Quantico...sorry :-(
