Never say "never",
When Gizzi Died, I swore I would NOT get another dog, but guess what? I Did and here are the pictures.

Hubby just 'happened' to go by the animal shelter here in our town this morning and he came back and told me about this beautiful black Lab they had. Soooooo, I went to see him and of course I fell in love with him immediately.

I pondered on the idea of taking him home and wrestled with my self for an entire nanosecond, and then I told the guy there that I wanted him. I paid the adoption fees and tomorrow I have an appointment to take him to the vet for his shots and to have him neutered.

After I said I would take him, the guy told me that this would have been the dog's last day there. He was scheduled to be euthanized in the morning. So I suppose he was meant to become mine.

And that isn't white on his throat, that is his tounge hanging out...seriously it is. He only has enough Chow in him to make a tiny bit of black on the very tip of his tounge. He has no white on him anywhere.

Judging from his size and appearence, I am guessing he is somewhere around 7-9 months old. I named him Shadow. I hope he doesn't mind. I didn't know what his real name was and he looks like a black shadow...and since he has been home, he has become like my shadow, following each step I make. He is lying here beside me while I am writing this.

Anyway, that's my piece of good news for Tuesday.

And I for one can't wait. It is cold and raining today here in our area and I think it may turn to snow and ice by later tonight. I hate winter. We have had good weather here compared to some. I feel so sorry for all the folks in Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, etc, who are getting all that ice and snow. If any of you are from those areas, I wish you sunshine and warmer temps very soon.

I sure hope that old groundhog doesn't see his shadow on Feb 2nd. I'm ready for some serious gardening and yard work. In fact, I'm even looking forward to Spring cleaning.

Here's a Blond Guy Joke I got in my email this morning. I thought it was hilarious. It's about time they started pickin on you guys and not just us dumb blond females. (My hair is red, but I have blond streaks)

An Irishman , a Mexican and a Blonde Guy were doing construction work on scaffolding on the 20th floor of a building. They were eating lunch and the Irishman said, "Corned beef and cabbage! If I get corned beef and cabbage one more time for lunch, I'm going to jump off this building."

The Mexican opened his lunch box and exclaimed, "Burritos again! If I get burritos one more time I'm going to jump off, too."

The blonde opened his lunch and said, " Bologna again! If I get a bologna sandwich one more time, I'm jumping too."

The next day, the Irishman opened his lunch box, saw corned beef and cabbage, and jumped to his death.

The Mexican opened his lunch, saw a burrito, and jumped, too.

The blonde guy opened his lunch, saw the bologna and jumped to his death as well.

At the funeral, the Irishman's wife was weeping. She said, "If I'd known how really tired he was of corned beef and cabbage, I never would have given it to him again!"

The Mexican's wife also wept and said, "I could have given him tacos or enchiladas! I didn't realize he hated burritos so much."

Everyone turned and stared at the blonde's wife. The blonde's wife said, "Don't look at me. The idiot makes his own lunch."

 

 

 

 

I wanted to let you all know that my little Mama went home to be with Jesus last week. I would like to request your prayers for me and my family at this time.  After her funeral, it seems that it only gets harder to bear. There is nothing more to do for her and life seems so empty without her sweet smiling face.  She left behind a lot of love and good memories for her family and I know that we will see her again someday, but right now I miss her so much.
