Waterlogue and Dogs

I finally downloaded the Waterlogue App on my Ipad. 

I had seen it used on several blogs... and thought it was nice. 

The trees in their finery last October, with Spehar's pond in the middle. 

And leaves on a tree in Troy and Kathy's yard.  

Gorgeous, huh???

I ran to Valerie's this afternoon to let the puppies out for a while... and 

Mama Uno came out with them.  I did not know that Uno LOVES to chase frisbies. 

I know now. 

Here's our own red girl... and five seconds later.. she had a great big vole out of the ground and dead. 

Yes, it hurts me to see them... but she is so good at it!  

Next week, we hope to have some really good news about a project we are 

going to undertake here at the new house, in the yard. 

For the time being, I am trying to get hummingbird pictures on the game cam, to 

no avail... so far. 

I did get to see Brother Pete at his new nursing home... I was very impressed with it... kind employees and 

clean... though he is wheelchair bound now, he seemed... okay with everything. 

My heart goes out to him every time I see him. 

Too soon ... too soon. 

Storms and New Furniture

We had storms for two hours this morning, 

when we actually expected them this evening, so 

I did not get out to the old house to finish the garden bed today. 

Tomorrow, Keith and I go to the VA for his weekly appointment... I'm 

going just in case he should be admitted again. 

We don't anticipate that. 

(Neither did we last week!) 

For three weeks last month, I had the privilege of 

taking care of a litter of English Pointer puppies belonging to a 

friend of mine, who lives about 2 miles from us. 

I would go over at 4 daily, let Mama out for exercise, then 

bring her back in to be with her babies at first... and then to 

let them nurse in weeks two and three.  I had not seen 

them for almost two weeks until today, and I am 

going both today and tomorrow to feed the babies at noon and 

let them out in their outdoor kennel for exercise. 

The three girls are at the front, and the big boy at the back in this picture. 

Three are destined for show homes... and one for a pet home, to another 

Pointer owner.  

These little guys have helped me to start getting over Abby's loss... 

it has been such a pleasure taking care of them. 

They have gone from unable to see... to being bundles of energy... and they are so 

inquisitive and fun! 

Here's our living room right now... and you are seeing the new couch and "chair and a half" that 

came today.  We turned the kitchen table east/west instead of north/south... it works MUCH better... and looks good. 

We still need a side table and a lamp, and some sort of coffee table.  

Can you believe I have NEVER had brand new furniture like this?   (Except for our beds.) 

Thank you, Honey!
