Flag Day

I woke up earlier than Kyle this morning, poured my coffee and took the dogs outside with me for my garden time.  <insert sigh of contentment, here>  I took this photo of Cormac while I was there.

The timing was perfect, for just as Kelly and I decided we wanted breakfast, Kyle was up.  We arranged for Kelly to pick up a couple of things at the store on her way to us, and by eleven or so, we were all eating scrambled eggs and having a bloody mary.  Welcome home, Kelly! 🙂

Next on my agenda, was attending Dana’s crop, and after allowing myself to get sucked into a chick flick with Kyle, I finally headed to her house around three.  Once there, I enjoyed the company of some wonderful women I love, and learned how to use the Creative Memories computer program.  Digital scrapbooking may just be the way to go for this busy girl.  We’ll see.

I got home much later than I’d planned and said goodnight to my husband who, sadly did not play in his football match due to a very sore back.  Bowling perhaps, is the culprit, there.  I’m not sure.  But, he’s unhappy and uncomfortable and I feel badly for him—after all, I am all too well-acquainted with back pain, and wouldn’t wish it on anybody!

Tonight’s a late night for me . . . my mama’s coming to visit!  I expect their arrival on Tuesday some time.  So, between now and then some housecleaning will have to happen!

Cormac Nose Wednesday, Nov 12 2008

10 November 2008
I was sitting on the chair relishing the company of my wife and playing with my camera. I was trying to decide just what my photo of the day was to be. Cormac, with typical Border Collie enthusiastic curiosity, came to find out what I was doing and why that little silver box was making whirrry-clicky noises.

Cheers

Please? Monday, Oct 20 2008

19 October 2008
“I know, I promised to clean the back yard. I will, I will, but please, throw the ball already, come on…pretty please?!”
I swear I heard those words coming out of Cormac.

Day two of MB at TRF and me being at home with the dogs. I was less bored today because I created a lot of work for myself (new websites I’m working on), and I went down to No Frills Grill for lunch and a beer while I watched the Cowboys NOT show up to play against the Rams. Luckily, I also got to see the Bears show up to play against the Vikings. In between all the work, and the NFL game, I played with the dogs some more. They seem to like that.
Cheers.

Caught! Monday, Oct 20 2008

18 October 2008
Marita Beth went down to the Texas Renaissance Festival last night. I stayed home due to the expense of kenneling two medium-sized dogs for 2 or 3 nights. It’s just gotten out of hand, expense-wise, so we made the difficult decision for me to stay home (I told you that "tomorrow" didn’t get any better). I did get to watch Arsenal stumble through beating Everton, and I did get caught up on some recorded television; but point-of-fact is, I spent most of my day bored out of my skull. The day was lovely, so I kept the backdoor open giving the dogs free reign to bring in all the fallen leaves from the backyard. That also meant that I played with them, and in effort to stave off tedium, I did play with them…a lot. This is Cormac catching a little worse-now-for-the-wear soccer ball.

You can’t really tell, but his head is about 5 1/2′ off the ground. This is one of the few successful catches he made. Most of the rest of the throws bounced off his nose making it easy for ‘Tia to catch and return.
Cheers.

May I Please Come In? Wednesday, Oct 8 2008

5 October 2008
We have trained our dogs to not just run through any opening they see. We make them sit and wait for a release word before proceeding through the opening. Here, Cormac is waiting patiently for me to allow him in.

Cheers.

Me & My Dog Friday, Jun 6 2008

Squirmy dog on a hot, dark night. Not the best photo, but I love his eye in this composition. That’s why I chose it…no other reason.

Cheers.
