It's a Hard Knox Life (mispelling intended)

Last week I went to visit my best friend and her husband this weekend. It was so refreshing to just chill. Know what I mean? What's better than hanging out with the kind of friend where you can completely be yourself? Whether it's just sitting in the same room watching episodes of Friends or shopping or cooking, you feel completely at home because they know you, faults and all, and still love you! As I write this, I'm blown away with the thought that, if she loves me no matter what, imagine how much more God does!

Their Boykin Spaniel, Tucker.

They're training him to hunt!

I knew I never should have started blogging.

Day at the Barn

My aunt hired me to take pictures of her Pasos.

Here are some pics from that day:

This is a new foal. Mom and baby don't belong to my aunt.

Bronse (Brahn-say), one of my aunt's breeding stallions.

What's a barn without some chickens? (Should be a picture of me here. Turns out that I'm very nervous around horses after my accident several years ago. I should have gotten right back on. Hindsight is 20/20.)

Desperate

So that Katie doesn't think she's the only one with crazy pets:

The vet has put Jay on a limited diet. His intake has been cut in half. (Turns out I was giving him the right food, just too much of it.) I can't imagine why he has to lose weight! (Too bad someone can't put me on a limited diet and force me to stick to it.)

He's desperate for food. Desperate to the point of banging on my door, meowing loudly outside of it until I would open it (at this point he'd already been kicked out for being a pest), and then practically smothering me while purring and attempting to look cute. It finally worked. I gave him his morning portion. But I warned him: he better not eat all of it in one sitting. It's a long time until dinner!

This is Jay, in the cupboard where I keep the food. (Notice the label on the food?)

Jay: "Woman, if you don't give me food now, I'm going to poop outside of the litterbox."

Still breathing...for now

Several circumstances happened today that have left me somewhat breathless.

1. I had lunch with my mom. After these pics, it's a good thing I'm still alive, much less breathing.
2. I cut the grass. With the crappy mower.
3. I forked over $202.00 to the vet for annual shots for Jay and Buck. (Too bad winning the blog-off didn't come with a cash prize. I totally could have used it.)

So, thought you people would want to know that I'm still breathing. For now.
