Bizzy & Her Ears . . . . .

Poor lil Bizzy has been having trouble getting her ears to stand up, so after she was groomed this morning, the Dr. took a look at her ears and glued them together. She doesn't seem to mind though. LOL! We will be taking her back in a week so that the Dr. can check the progress. Keeping my fingers crossed. LOL!

Here is a picture of our sparkling clean baby and her glued ears . . . .it was late and she was not much in the mood to cooperate with the photographer! HeeHeeHee! :oP

The Kids Taking More Pictures Yesterday . . . . .

Boy . . . .Since I put new batteries in that "Kid Tough Camera," it is the "HOT" item with all of my kids right now! LOL!

They all had a ball taking pictures yesterday.

Here is one of my favorites . . . . .You know there are many more in my Flickr Album.

Taylor & His Kid Tough Camera . . . . .

I finally remembered to put new batteries in my children's Kid Tough Camera, after much begging and reminding from Taylor. LOL!

He was so happy to play with his camera so I thought that I would share some of his pictures here.

Not bad for a 4 year old . . . Huh?

I have got to remember to tell them to stop putting the camera right in front of their face for the self portraits that they are doing. LOL! Makes for a very scary picture! HeeHeeHee!!

You know that there are more in my Flickr Album . . . .just click on the thumbnails on the sidebar.

Playing And Taking Pictures . . . . .

I have been playing a bit and taking a few pictures around the yard. We have four bird "couples" that have built nest in our garage and front porch. I think they are finches, but I am not sure. If you know for sure I would appreciate a little note letting me know.

I am planing on getting a new camera soon. The digital camera that I have now is about 9 years old and sooooooo obsolete. You take my obsolete camera along with the awful lighting in my garage and you get some pretty poor pictures!!! GRRRRRR!! LOL!

There are more photos in my flickr album.

Cats On Tuesdays . . . . .

This is Tigger. He is one of 3 cats that live with us. Tigger is the quietest, shyest and the most lovable of our three cats.

We're HOME!!!! YAY!!!

We had an AWESOME time at the races in Talladega this weekend.

After a 6 hour drive, we arrived in Birmingham, Alabama around 5:00p.m. Friday evening. We got settled into our hotel and then went out for a nice steak dinner and a couple of drinks.

We woke up around 6:00a.m. Saturday morning and arrived at the track at 9:00a.m. There was plenty of sight-seeing to do at the NASCAR Hall of Fame and lots of souvenirs to buy before the Bush race started at 2:30p.m.

I must mention though, that the NASCAR Hall of Fame and the track are at least a mile apart . . . . and OH YES . . . .you are walking that mile from where you parked your car . . . .And BACK!! LMBO!! Then we had to climb what seemed to be 100 steps to get to our seats, (row 53 in the Tri-Oval Towers). Main point here . . . . .I have found muscles that I had forgotten that I even had until they started screaming out in PAIN!!! LMBO!!

OH . . . .and another thing . . . .If you EVER go to a race, remember that they DO allow each person to bring a small bag that can be a vinyl cooler if you like. We did not know this on Saturday and after paying $4.00 for every drink, $5.00 for a plain burger & 4.00 for a small order of fries . . . . . .We Wised up and went straight to K-Mart after the Bush race and stocked up on peanuts, cheese snacks, trail mix and sodas. It saved us a TON of money during the Nextel race on Sunday.

After the race was over on Sunday, we headed to our car and began the long wait to get out of the track. It took us 2 1/2 hours to get from the track to Birmingham, a trip that normally takes about 45 minutes. Once free of all the traffic we drove for 4 hours to Rusty's sister's house to pick up our children. We arrived at her house about 10:30p.m. and then another 2 hours driving had us home once again at 12:30a.m.

We toted the kids in and tucked them into bed, unpacked the car and our luggage, then collapsed.

GEEEEEEZZZ It's GREAT to be HOME!!! LOL!

Here are a few pictures of Rusty at the track. You can see more located in my flicker album over on the sidebar.

Have a GREAT Evening!

My Sleeping Angels . . . . . .

Tonight . . . . . . . . My Sleeping Lil Angels . . . . . . . . .

They Put Everything back into perspective for me.

Poor Little Bizzy . . . .

We took Bizzy to get her shots yesterday and to have her ears cropped. I picked her up this morning and thought that I would post some pictures.

Poor lil thing. It almost breaks my heart to see her ears all taped up like this.

I'll post additional pictures in a couple of weeks, once she is all healed.

Another Animation . . . .LOL!

I made this a couple of years ago using a picture from our wedding, which was 9 years ago.

Cat Gone WILD . . . .AGAIN!!!!

In case you missed it Check Out, "Cat Gone WILD . . . ." The First Occurrence!!!

I just don't get what is wrong with our cat Buddy. He attacked me AGAIN for the second time in less than two weeks.

Once again it indirectly involved our new puppy, Bizzy. I let Bizzy outside with Duke, who is her big buddy now. After about 15 or 20 minutes had passed, I heard her hollering outside. I jumped up and ran to the back door to get her, when I felt something hit the back of my calf. I turned around and saw Buddy crouched down behind me, hissing!!! He had chased me across the house and bit the back of my calf, leaving 4 nice, embedded tooth marks and a HUGE bruise.

Rusty said that we have give him up now, but I just can't. We have had Buddy for over a year now and he has NEVER done anything like this before.

Is he going crazy? Is it that he just can't take any kind of excitement, like a puppy hollering or someone frantically running through the house? What? What is going on with him?

Cat Gone WILD!!! . . . . .

This happened a week ago this past Sunday, but I am just now recovering from the shock.

Last Sunday Evening we were getting ready to sit down to supper, so we put our new puppy, "Bizzy," in her little kennel so that she wouldn't beg at the table.

Shortly after we sat down to dinner, Bizzy started screaming and hollering like she was Badly hurt. I ran over to the kennel and saw that she hand gotten the hook from the stretch band that the original owner had placed around the kennel hooked behind her back teeth and she could not get loose.

Well I was on my hands and knees trying to get her loose, when Buddy, (our grey long haired cat) lost his mind and ATTACKED ME!!! It felt like I had been shot in the eye and blood was going everywhere. Rusty wanted to check on me, but I told him NO . . .that he needed to get Bizzy loose first.

He finally got her loose, checked her over and discovered that she was not really hurt but had scared herself more than anything.

So Now we both had to go and check on my face and my eye. Buddy had bitten me in the face and had caught my Eye with his teeth and then made a really nasty gash right under my eye. It took me a couple of days to be able to open my eye because is just hurt too bad. I was beginning to wonder if he put my eye out altogether.

Now Buddy has always been a bit of a grumpy cat . . .but he has always been ALL BLUFF . . .Never actually biting anyone . . .Just acting like he wanted to. So Why On Earth did he attack me while Bizzy was hollering??? I thought maybe he thought that I was hurting her . . .BUT . . .Buddy doesn't even like Bizzy! LOL! So I am at a total loss as to why he would do such a thing.

In any case, I'm healing ok, I guess, and I'm starting to pet Buddy again. I just wish I knew what in the world made him attack me.

Unreal!!

I Like To Create Animations From Time-To-Time

Here is an animation that I created a few years ago using a photo of our daughter. It is a fun hobby, but it can be very time consuming. I don't have anywhere near the time that I would like to do all of the hobbies that I enjoy.

Bizzy

Bizzy is the newest addition to our family. At nearly 10 weeks old now, she certainly does earn her name by being a "Busy" lil girl! LOL!

Bizzy is a Black & Silver Miniature Schnauzer and is just too adorable and sweet. The kids Love her and are all too willing to help out when it comes to taking care of her. . . .I wonder just how long that will last! LOL! ;o)

Feel free to look at and comment on any of the photos that I post to "Lu's Photo Albums" on the sidebar.
