Tune in for answers tomorrow

So, I have figured things out. Mom has had a veryLONG strenuous day after I decided to complete my tunneling under the house (well nearly)
So, answers to who that was in my backyard, pictures,the whole nine. tomorrow. Mom says she is exhausted.....sheesh what a wimp! OOPS, sorry mom, you most certainly not a wimp, OR a grouch or anything. Why don't you just go get in the tub, k? (whew)
Hugs
Sunny,the alpha dog around here...well 2nd to mom but she isn't a dog, so........
Goodnight Johnboy

Half Staff for Fort Hood, Texas

We weep and pray for the soldiers and their families in this murderous tragedy. Here are some pics of local flags. The flags are to remain at half staff until veteran's day by order of the Commander in Chief.

(For those that do not know, Texas chose to remain a Republic when it joined the US as a state. Therefore, it is the only state in the Union whose flag may fly at the same height as the Stars & Stripes.

The last pic shows the proper way to display the flag when darkness falls. If you fly the flag, unless it is lit when darkness falls, take it down. Lastly, when a flag is flown half staff, proper protocol is to raise it to it's full height, then lower it to half staff. The same is true when taken down. And the flag should NEVER touch the ground.)

Yes, it is but a piece of material. But what it stands for, all the lives that have been lost for it, as those at Fort Hood, commands our respect as the symbol of freedom that has been bought at a huge price since the reveolution. God Bless our country, and those who have given the ultimate price, as those did at Fort Hood...

We will hold you in our hearts. All of those murdered, wounded and their families.

God Bless You and God Bless America

UH, What the FUZZ?!?

1. Where did she find these black blobs to take pics of??

2. HEY That's my doc, Randy. WTF????? How did she go there without me to take a pic of some random black blob????
3. What is this stranger doing in my yard??????????

Huh..this seems to call for further investigation.

Sunny, the very suspicious poodle

What do you think?

Jamie here. I wanted to do a different post today but am having trouble with %@#$**&^$#@#^&* loading of pictures.

AHEM so as briefly as I am able to relate this story, here goes. Several months ago I was putting gas in my car. I was approached by a man and a woman. Nope they were not looking spiffy, and I noticed they had a small dinged up car. (I'm not good at telling what kind of a car one is but this one was reddish)

In a nutshell, they were trying to get home to Arlington and the tank was on empty, something about their money being stolen. Well, I said let me see what I have. (I usually don't have much if any cash on me.)
I found(with change) $5.75 Told them I'm sorry it's all I've got. They thanked me effusively. Then I saw the woman going in to give the money. Along the way she asked others and I saw she was striking out. By now, my car is finished and I started to get into my car.
Well, I'm thinking how the heck far are they going to get on that. Got out of my car, went over to the guy and said, look I'm putting gas in your car with my card. Again, God Bless, Thank You. etc. So, I filled his tank. While they each gave me a hug, I just asked them to pay it forward if they ever had the chance.
I've been told by some that was stupid to do. "You don't have money to throw around like that. Yeah, I'll bet they "lost" their money...etcetc. " They may be right , BUT My thought is if you try to help with good intentions, that is what matters. And I still think someday some help will come to me when I need it....karma
So what do you think? What would you have done.
Now to figure out what the &*&^^%%$#@$^&* is the problem with pics. Dang it.
Have a great one,
Jamie (who doesn't think she was a "sucker" :)

Happy Halloweiners!

I think us dogs should change the name of this holiday. I propose that for OUR holiday the following rules apply:

No silly costumes...geeez

Our treats for trick or treat is: weiners of course!

Our trick could be a box of poop (like joey, http://joestains.blogspot.com, prefers), or, well many of is can think up the trick that will drive our humans bonkers.

We will absolutely get at least one good ride in the car! Hopefully for the purpose of obtaining the Halloweiner treat...which can also come in the form of corney dogs because SOME dogs I know *Scooter* are obsessed with them.

Sounds like a plan to me!

To the bipeds, like my kid, Happy Halloween!

Hugs

For those of you who have been wondering WHERE R THEY?

Jamie here. Briefly(yeah right, hu? Me brief???) Life has been coming at us hard and fast for awhile. We are still in mom's duplex. I have to have massive oral surgery *shudder*. But it won't take place til the beginning of Dec. because the dentist has to do impressions, thanksgiving coming, yada yada. Then the surgeon dude will *shudder* do his thing.
Here's a helpful hint to all. In Texas, (and all the south) it is a custom to eat black eyed peas on Jan 1 of each year for luck. I FORGOT TO EAT MY BLACK EYED PEAS this year and just look at 2009..........(and I am not EVEN going into some of the things that have happened) Let's just say I will be scarfin down those black eyes on the first day of 2010 and every year. I'd suggest you do the same ;)
Well, whaadayaknow. I was actually brief for once. Thanks to those who have emailed wondering WTF???? Hope we can get some ducks (or dogs) in a row and blog, share pics of the wonderful kids. Sunny & Scooter are doing great and are my rock as always.
Miss you all my wonderful friends!
Jamie
pee ess both Sunny & Scooter are itching to talk to y'all.
