Drinkin’ Beers and Shootin’ Deers

That statement is so completely redneck I can barely stand it.  But I do occasionally find myself saying it a lot lately.  I think I saw it on a ball cap at Wal-Mart (of course).  Pretty soon it will fall into the “If I hear that one more time…I’m going to freak” category.  “Git R’ [...]

Why does he do this to me?

And by he, I mean Hurley. My 10 pound, canine shaped, wrecking ball. I do believe that you’ve seen a post or two about his many bouts of destruction. There’s the Soccer Ball Incident and the… Little Lamby Murder to name a few. Those are seriously the least of my worries compared to some of [...]

Mousey

Do you ever feel like your life is like that of a mouse.  Always running, but never really getting anywhere? Oh….no?    Me neither…  J *PS:  still no Internet.  Yeah-I’m ready to bring the pain

Pile of Kittens!!!!!

Here’s a lovely gallery of some baby kitties.  Seriously….nothing makes me happier then a pile of kittens.  These kitties were born in a barn at our house in Michigan.  I mothered them and gave them food and water and petted them for a couple months and then found homes for all of them!  My Mom [...]

I’m Going to Kill Her!!!

And by her, I mean the cat.  Our cat, Master Chief.  Our beautiful cat that we so kindly adopted in January.  Master Chief (Chief, Chiefy, Chiefers, MC, Kitty, Kit Kat, etc.) She is a very pretty cat.  But don’t let her good looks fool you.  She has like bi-polar disorder or something.  She loves being [...]

Can I Keep Him?

Puuuuuuhhhhhhhhlllllllleeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzeeeeeeeeee!!!! That’s what kids say when they find a stray little animal that they want to keep.  And by kids I mean 23 year old females who have an unusual affinity for all non-human living beings.  I’ve been an animal lover my entire life.  I used to cry because I wanted a horse and never [...]

Pop Open Kennel Revisited

Remember way back when I did a post about the Boots & Barkley Pop Open Dog Kennel?  The point of that post was to establish the fact that the kennel impossible to fold up back into the miniscule shape that I bought it in.  It’s one of those springy, nylon tent things.  The small fold up [...]

Frustration

I’ve spent all night searching the net for jobs.  And I’m just plain spent.  Apparently, “Looking to pay person to sit at home and blog” is not a demanding position right now.  Damn economy.  Check out this comic my Mom sent me: I think my Mom is trying to say that I don’t have a [...]

Distance Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

I’m sorry honey, but I’m not talking about you.  Although I am missing you very much. I’m talking about cows.  I grew up on a dairy farm and had been around cows my entire life before moving to Houston.  I’ve always considered myself a country girl and still do even though I’m stuck in the [...]

Friends at Last? Update!

Possibly… I’m talking about my fur-children, Hurley (dog) and Chief (cat).  Chief is about 2 and a half years old according to the people at the Houston SPCA.  Hurley is almost a year old, again-according to the people at the Houston SPCA.  I’m guessing that those are rather accurate, but give or take a few [...]
