back to reality

The Christmas holiday is officially over, for after breakfast this morning, Kassy and Nate, packed up Charlie, Nora, two goldfish and their gifts and began their journey home to the south. I hate the goodbyes, and made myself look silly in the restaurant parking lot... but I really don't care. As much as I love seeing Kassy out there in the big world and absolutely adore Nate, she will be (forever) my little girl and I will never really get used to her being away........

So the little blue "beetle" hits the road once again, I think this little car could make the trip all by it's self. Sometime, I will sit and count the trips it has made back and forth. We certainly can't complain, its a good little buggy!!!









Now, what in the world is this????

As much as Sadie might hate to admit it (at times) she is also her Mother's daughter, and brought home this little "mutt" (aka pitbull!!!!) seems a friend got this little guy and brought him home (much against the advise of his family). I guess he thought that everyone would eventually fall in love and the puppy would be able to stay... well.... he guess wrong!! His Mom was just about on the way to the shelter with him, when Sadie stepped in and said she thought "we" could place him!!! I told Sadie that my foster work is with cockers... not with "pits" and that I am willing to help out, but there is a time limit in this house too. (January 15th, when she heads back to school). Fortunately, I do have dog connections, and have calls out to all my pitbull folks, and even thru this blog... there has to be a nice family who would take him in. He does have a nice personality, is about 4 months old, and is being crated trained, house broken, and taught manners while he is here. (you can be sure ol' Moxie has told him in no uncertain terms... who the head dog is... and Trevor has also told him that not one toy in this house is his. Mona the cat has had him crying more than once, you'd think he would only try her claws so many times!!!!)

So, spread the word dear readers... we of course want a good responsible home with someone who knows what to do with this type of dog......

And speaking of which, classes begin again this week, we have a few "house guests", and one foster cocker (who I think will be adopted this week) and a couple of private students are lined up for the week..... guess it's back to "real life"......
