New truck on the way

We have been shopping for a new vehicle. My present Ford Expedition which is much used and much loved has about 147,000 miles on it and is starting to show some wear. So we have shopped around and seen a few choices. You would think in this age of energy efficiency when everyone is buying up hybrid cars it would be easy to find a whole bunch of gas guzzling big honking SUV's we can fit 5 dogs in. But it has not been easy.
We finally found one tonight. Well its not exactly the one I wanted because its silver and I didn't want silver, I had a silver Expedition for 7 years. (Big sigh.) But the price, the mileage and everything else is right.
So soon I will post a picture of the new Expedition. It is very pretty and drives nicely. It also has a CD player which I didn't have before. So truly I am happy. Too bad you can't paint a vehicle as easily as a room.
Stay tuned.

We never get tired of the puppy stuff!

So many of my friends have also gotten puppies this year. This means Kindle has an steady supply of new playmates. My friend sheila recently got this cute little bundle of energy. Meet Echo!Echo is a Pembroke Welsh Corgi and is just 11 weeks old. (Right Sheila?)She is Kindle's new best friend. See!

Oh they have fun!

Beta and Scott take 1st place!!!

I am so proud of Scott and Beta they had an absolutely gorgeous Master Jumper's run on Sunday at the ARFF's Agility Trial in Westford, MA. It was just flawless and wonderful to watch.

Go ahead watch it!!!!

They qualified and took first place. What a team!!!!!

Its all about the dogs

Just a few pics from this week. Kindle has grown almost as big as Beta now. They are good friends and love to play together. I know this is blurry but they just never stop moving! They sleep well though.Even Jackaroo has begun to grudgingly play with Kindle. He does not like sharing his sticks though. Jackaroo believes all sticks belong to him!
I'll leave you with this today. This is Beta's version of basketball and just more antics in the yard. Have a great day.

More Photos

We have a busy day planned so I thought I would leave you with a few pictures from last weekend that never got up here.
I bet you wondered why Tyler wasn't in the family swim photo. Well he says "Norwegian Buhunds do not swim, they nap!"

A lot!

For all of you who were wondering when I would let Jackaroo, the shark, loose with Kindle, well for a little over a week they have actually been playing together in small doses. He is doing great but she doesn't trust him completely yet. Smart girl.

I just love this face.

More swimming Cattle Dog style.Have a great day all.

Driven to drink? I think so.

A friend emailed this to me today.
I think it speaks for itself. :)

If you were around in 1919 (just before prohibition started) and came upon the following poster.........

I mean seriously, Would you quit drinking?

Kinda easy to see why prohibition didn't last. Wouldn't you say?

Giant Tortoise or what?

I came across this strange creature in the yard last weekend. I'm not sure but I think it may have escaped somehow from the Galapagos Islands. I think it's a giant tortoise. How exciting!
Beta and Jackaroo looked perplexed too. Oh wait! Its simply an old dog hinting she'd like to take a swim. What a ham!
