Snow Day!

 I have been so busy lately,I've not had time to create anything new,try new recipes,barley time for talking on the phone(what I do best;)). But I did find some time to take a walk in the snow with my doggies.♥

On our walks the dogs usually stay a ways head of me sniffing along their way. But Miss Lucy is always the most close to me, never too far away. As you can see everytime I knelt down to take a picture,she thought it was fun time and came barreling at me.

Goldie loves snow in her face!

Black Bart,our horse who thinks he is a dog. ;)

How large is your soul.

Folk will know how large your soul is,

by the way you treat a dog.

Sergeant Stubby

I find myself becoming a bigger fan of pit bulls and wanting to protect the breed more & more everyday. When we first found Lucy over a year ago because of all the bad rap I was somewhat reluctant to keep her. My heart told me she was just what she appeared to be, lovable,smart and silly. But as I was searching for information on the breed all I pretty much got was the bad rap. Pages & pages of horror stories. Since then I have learned most of the stories are not true. This is a awesome breed of dog who gets the worst case of bad rap ever.

~ Punish the deed not the breed.~

 

I just ran across this story and had to share it.

Most people Have never heard of Sergeant Stubby, yet he is the most decorated dog in military history. Sergeant Stubby was a Pit Bull Mix who fought in the trenches of France during WWI for 18 months. During the 17 battles that this little Pit Bull fought in he warned his fellow solders of gas attacks, located wounded solders out on the battle field and listened for incoming artillery rounds. Sergeant Stubby was even responsible for capturing a German spy at Argonne who was mapping the layout of Allied trenches.

During WWI Sergeant Stubby’s heroism was well known and he became the only dog every to receive a battle field promotion in history. After one of the battles the women of the French village of Domremy presented him with a hand-sewn chamois coat, decorated with Allied flags and his name stitched in gold thread.

After the war, Sergeant Stubby was invited to the White House and met with three Presidents: Woodrow Wilson, Calvin Coolidge, and Warren G. Harding. He was, also made a lifetime member of the American Legion, the Red Cross, and the YMCA.

Thank ya Stubby!

My brother strikes again & yes....MORE DOG PICTURES. :)))

My dear sweet brother brought me these cool old food choppers Saturday. He said he seen them at a yard sale and thought I would like them. Now how SWEET is THAT? Wouldn't even let me pay for them (probably because he knows I'm a tight wad and wouldn't pay what he gave for them,lol). I think they are so neat,thanks Bro!

SINCE I'm here and posting I Thought I would share yet more pictures of my pupper dawgs. :)))))

                                    

Lazy Goldie Days

I don't have much to blog about as of lately. The Holidays have made me very lazy & I'm finding it hard to get into doing anything other than watching movies and reading...um, ok and EATING. I hope to get to work on some new things soon though. Meanwhile.....

Biscuit & Lucy are outside playing, chasing and pretending to be big guard dogs, old Goldie girl sleeps most of her days away. She is really slowing down but once in awhile she shows she still has a bit of spunk in her.
I loves my old Golidie gal...Have I mentioned she hates cameras ? :)
