"No, mother, I have NOT been chewing on cotton pads!"

Happy hump day y'all... STAY WARM!

thankfully thinking

i have a lot to be thankful for in my life, but it all comes down to the relationships i have with family and friends... i count my blessings for them.

oh yeah, and the food. (i just like taking pictures of food....riiiiiight!)

I just wanted to show you all some pictures from our Thanksgiving.. the tablescape, food, etc. It was a fun day!




brother, nana, and me - and no, he and I did not plan the matchy matchy, but it's cute right?

Show us your life - Pets!

I don't usually participate (actually, I never have, but I've always enjoyed looking at other people's links) in Kelly's Korner Show us your Life.

But, today it's PETS!

I'll take any opportunity to show off more pics of my precious canine!

This is Dizzy Dean. Born April 28, 2009 in Hackett, AR.

Nicknames: monster, bubba, bubba bear, lovie, sweet boy, douchebag (only from kyle when he's done something wrong)

July 6, 2008 on the ride home :)

First bath
First pic with dad

Lounging with dad... little did we know that this would be a foreshadowing moment to the rest of his life... the boy sleeps 20 hours out of the day!

Early morning shot... love this pic. you can even see the water drop on his bottom lip.
his ferocious teeth
sleepy head
** It's really ironic that I decided to participate in this today because I started this post this morning, and then went downstairs to let Dizzy inside and he was no where to be found. This girl FREAKED OUT. I went out the front, I went out the back and yelled and whistled.. and NOTHING. Icing on the cake was that I realized I'd taken his collar off last night.

There are no words to describe how absolutely hysterical I was! I started to drive around yelling for him and then realized my tank was almost empty so I rush to the gas station, tears streaming down my face to get like A gallon of gas because I couldn't waste anymore time. I called animal services and they hadn't picked up a boxer (mind you it'd be maybe all of 30 minutes!)

Buuuuuut, while I was on the phone with the woman, an ANGEL called in and said they had spotted a dark brown boxer running around Wedington - also known as HIGHWAY 16!!!!! Wedington and Broyles, which is a good half mile from my house, on the way to Kyle's. I was driving around in the neighborhood behind my house (eyes full of tears, crying so much I couldn't whistle) I immediately turned around and hauled ass down Wedingtond and saw my sweet, collarless, little brown boy on the corner of a major highway! I pulled onto Broyles street and yelled at him and his little ears perked up and he came straight to me when I stopped and opened the door.

I COLLAPSED on top of him in the passenger seat! I can only imagine what he was thinking... "Why is this woman getting me wet and making crazy noises and holding my face and talking gibberish into my nose??!!"

SO.... he's home safe... sleeping at my feet
perfectly content, I assume...

Dizzy is not fond of loud noises. My ONLY guess, is that he was frightened by the noises coming from the roofers just a few houses down. There were some smalls scratches on his belly and he was dirty... HOW he maneuvered under our gate is a miracle to me, but hope we don't have to worry about something like this again.

I'm so glad I still have a pup! I loooooooove him.
