Grab Your Seat

TGIF! Its Fill-Ins time...

ZeusSophie_11010


1. Wouldn't it be easy to say screw it all and walk away.

2. This season of 24 is proving to be better than ever!

3. I love the taste of chocolate covered strawberries.

4. There is never any place to sit in the living room because the dogs take over the couches.

5. The first thing we're going to do is stop and smell the roses.

6. The kitchen sink constantly goes drip, drip, drip; I can't take it anymore.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to a new episode of Ghost Whisperer, tomorrow my plans include a 4 year old's birthday party and Sunday, I want to relax!

Yea, Whatever

Its Doggy Day... which means we're one step closer to the weekend! That should make Tut note quite as fresh than yesterday, right?

Tut: "Who me? What's you talking 'bout??"

Foster Update

I don't really have too much to say today (still looking for my knitting mojo and the "winter wonderland" has turned into a soggy, muddy mess), so since I just took some new pictures of Simon, I thought I'd share. You may remember the little guy we fostered for an afternoon back in February, 2007 ... he came back to us in March when his then-Mom got a new job and had to move. I think it only took one night before we convinced our friends they were meant to be Simon's family...

The first one is my favorite, even though its a little blurry...

Simon_110b Simon_110

Don't you just love those ears? Here he is with his human sister... two peas in a pod!

BellaSimon_110

I'm always happy to get photos and updates on our fosters, but its extra special when you have one that is still part of your close circle of friends and you get to see them often!

All donations (up to $1,500) made to the Planet Dog Foundation to help support the work of the life-saving dogs in the Haiti rescue efforts will be matched by the Planet Dog Foundation. Joanne Woodward Newman and Newman's Own Foundation, will then match PDF's total contribution to the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation.

Filling In

TGIF!!! I haven't done this for a few weeks now, but it's time for a little Fill-In with some pictures of the kids scattered in to keep your interest!

1. You have a chance to do the right thing, but history proves you won't.

2. I want to be home hanging out with my furbabies right now!

Zeus_12010c

3. There is a a tyrant on the loose.

Tut_11910b

4. Rack up the bills now and pay later, isn't that the American way?

Lola_11910

5. It's time to find something new.

Sophie_12010

6. This year's vacation plans are up in the air but hopefully I'll still get to see everyone, even if its a few months later than usual.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to watching the Hope For Haiti Now telethon, tomorrow my plans include going to see my honey's band play and Sunday, I want to watch some playoff football! I could care less about the Jets/Colts game - hate them both! Now that my Pats aren't in it, I'm all for either the Saints (they do deserve it) or Vikings (Brett doing "Pants on the Ground" after last week's win was priceless) winning the Superbowl!

Snow Doggies

Happy Doggy Day! If you only stop by on Thursdays, scroll back and check out Sully, the 2yo Brittany Spaniel who we helped to transport to his foster home this past weekend. I just checked out his petfinder page and saw that he is marked as adopted - yea!!!

The kids have been thrilled with all the snow this week and Mommy's got the pictures to prove it!

My snowbunny Lola...

Lola_12010b

If Lola is the snowbunny, I guess that makes Sophie the snow princess...

Sophie_12010c Sophie_11910

Tut loves zipping around in the white stuff...

Tut_12010b Tut_11910

"If Sophie's the snow princess, then I am the snow King Tut..."

2yo SWM Looking for a Loving Home

Here he is.... meet Sully, the loveable 2 year old Brittany gentleman that we helped transport to his foster home on Sunday. Be sure to check out his Petfinder page!

Sully_11710e Sully_11710

We had the second to last leg of his 2 day journey (the last one was actually his foster Mom taking him home), so Sully was a bit tired by the time he reached us. That didn't stop his curiosity however... he really enjoyed riding and watching out the window.

Sully_11710i Sully_11710c

Sully, ready for his close up... has he stolen your heart yet?

Sully_11710g Sully_11710f

He's a wonderful boy looking for his forever home, so if you know anyone interested please pass his information along to them.

Today was another snow day here... Thankfully the drive wasn't like yesterday, but it did snow all day... Hard to believe it was 50 degrees this past Saturday!

Snow Day

It certainly is a snow day here, however I'm sad to say, I am working. This was my drive in this morning...

SnowDrive_11809

Once I crossed into the next town the roads got a tiny bit better, but not much.

SnowDrive_11809b

We did the second to last leg of Sully's transport last night and fortunately got home well before the real snow started. Sully was an absolute love and was wonderful in the car (poor guy had been riding for two days). I did take some pictures of him (although it was dark and he was a bit tired) and they will be coming soon, promise! In the meantime, check out his Petfinder page! Anyone interested in an adorable 2 year old male brittany that's full of kisses and love for his new family?
