Thursday’s Things: Oh my gosh, it’s Mish-Mosh!

Amy D — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 12:36:45 +0000

Another busy week and I haven’t even picked up my camera! So I poured through the picture files on the computer and had a difficult time picking two out. But, I did it.

Brenna and Luci in my mother-in-law's bedroom. Lulu loved those wood floors....and Brenna, too!

Rowan at 5 months enjoying those (yuck!) peas....independent from the get-go, always wanted to feed herself!

Thursday’s Things: Splashing in those puddles!

Amy D — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 12:09:31 +0000

This summer has been kind of on the dry side until this past Sunday. Mother Nature decided to dump a summer’s worth of water on us in one fell swoop. It didn’t stop raining until Tuesday morning. The kennels are under water in some spots and the dogs are atrocious right now! The girls had fun Monday splashing through all the water. They were soaked up to their hips in their jeans! But they were happy and hamming it up for the camera!

Polly, the pregnant bitch….we hope?

Amy D — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 00:08:48 +0000

So, I finally got around to capturing a picture of Polly today. Not on a weekly target like I had hoped, being the 8th of August was the last and only photo of her to compare this to. I still say she is bred. I don’t think we are looking at 7 or more, maybe 3 or 4. I like to be proved wrong though! So without further ado, I present the pregnant bitch, Polly.

*Please don’t judge me on the horrible coat condition she is in. We just had 2 full days of rain and there is now a pond where the kennel is! She is getting a bath this week come hell or high water…..I guess we already got the high water….*

Matt and I just pulled up her pictures from her last litter and she is not as big as she was then. Who knows, maybe she is having a false pregnancy, or only has 1 in there. I’m hoping for a few! Let’s keep our fingers crossed!

Thursday’s Things: May 10, 2009

Amy D — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 23:56:49 +0000

These were taken at a Match that was held on Mother’s Day in 2009. It was the first time Greta, Brogan and Brand-D (Donna Lee’s bitch) were at any type of dog show. Greta did great, she got a Group 3. The girls had fun, too. It was a cool, blustery day that we finished at grandma’s house in Clifton Park.

Of losing a little kid and big boo-boos

Amy D — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 00:26:28 +0000

Well, we have lived through the 68th Annual Punkintown Fair. I have decided that a full day of shopping with a kid that had the runs may be more pleasant than subjecting myself to THAT. I should have paid attention to the inner-mommy in me and left with Rowan when Matt arrived, but I didn’t. But on the bright side, I am not subjecting myself to the hair-pulling festivities next year and you can count on that!

We arrived a whole hour early. Just to let you googlers know, the fair opens at 6pm, not 5pm, like I originally thought. Who knew my blog would be the go-to source for the Punkintown Fair, but oh well! I might as well be known for something! So that was a joy trying to entertain kids across the street from all of the rides. Not.

Brenna was in full Fair mode this year. She is getting over her fears of roller coasters quite quickly. She’s had also decided that she didn’t need her mom to tell her that she couldn’t go on a certain ride without an adult and did anyway. We lost her for the longest five minutes of my life. I thought my mom was going to have a coronary. She was all running around like The Little Chicken saying the sky was going to fall. I mean, the fair is not that big people! My back yard is a hell of a lot bigger than that! Matt found her on said ride, riding it alone. So much for those height rules put in place for some unknown reason!

Rowan was not a happy camper because the only thing she really could do was eat or go on the bouncy bounce. She did have fun bouncing around and on top of other kids. She ate her fair share of fried dough and she ate my fair share also. She really wanted to go on the big slide, so I let her go with her sister and her 13 year old cousin. Everything was going great until the very end when her big head toppled over and she smashed her face on the slide resulting in a gash under her right eye. So I ran her over to the EMT’s and we decided it didn’t need stitches. Thank goodness! I can’t imaging THAT trip to the ER! She’s a real trooper and her eye is pretty swollen and a little black. Yeah, that’ll be a FUN shopping trip next weekend with people staring at me!

Thursday’s Things: The Best of the ‘berry Edition

Amy D — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 14:30:35 +0000

Since I have not gotten the camera out in a long, long time, this week’s photos are coming from the Blackberry. I love that the ‘berry has a camera, but it’s a sucky little camera. I don’t know what the resolution is exactly, but the word “crappy” sums it up nicely! No worries, the Canon will be coming out for Saturday’ Punkintown Fair.

The corny show picture

Amy D — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 01:01:58 +0000

Yes, Matt is corny, for lack of a better word. He just had to get a picture done with Duncan and Greta. This was the July 4th show in Bainbridge. Duncan (Ch Marianettes Habitual Vialator) went BOB and Greta went Best Bred-By. Duncan is loved and owned by Marian McShane.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a lovely picture, just a weird concept to me. Maybe I’m the corny one, who knows!

Thursday’s Things

Amy D — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 01:00:13 +0000

I refer to my daughter’s as Thing One and Thing Two. Just like in the “Cat in the Hat”, they are a whirlwind in my house! Too bad I don’t have a box to put them in when Mom is coming home! That would be too easy, but we have threatened to stick them out in the kennel with the “faucet” (Sinatra) and that usually shuts them up for a minute. Yes, just a minute. Brenna is Thing One and Rowan is Thing Two, also known as “bruiser”, amongst other choice names! Every Thursday I will post some pictures of them. They may not be recent, but you can be guaranteed that there will be Things!

Brenna on her very first day of Kindergarten last September. Hard to believe a whole year has gone by!
