Foster Puppies!

My First Watermelon!

I think...don't tell me if I am wrong. Let me continue to believe.

And an update on my pea plant. :)

I am so bored that I have been obsessing over taking care of my
plants. They must be stunned as I usually forget to water them. :)

I went out to find a little pole or trellis for my pea
plant...discovered she had found her own way.

I need some puppies...my plants don't need me anymore!

Too Much Free Time

Facing Her Fear

After looking everywhere (except the camera) Jane faces her fear and
looks right into the camera lens. Note Bunny off to the side, frozen
in squinty-eyed fear. Take one flash photo and all of a sudden the
camera is the enemy.

Jaime Update: After the Surgery

He just had his front leg removed on Friday and is already up and
around, running, jumping, playing...dogs sure know how to handle
things! :)

Backstory for those here from a Google search: Foster dog Jaime was born with a birth defect in his front, right leg. His bones were not attached to the joint. The vet felt he would do better without the leg as he was leaning down on his "elbow" when he was walking.

Dogs do so well with just three legs, and he actually has more mobility without the leg getting in his way. Feel free to email me if you have any questions. Email address is in the sidebar.

I So Regret...

...giving this beagle those treats! I will never be alone again. :)

“Christianity is not about building an absolutely secure little niche in the world where you can live with your perfect little wife and your perfect little children in your beautiful little house where you have no gays or minority groups anywhere near you.
