week of wildlife...

Here are a few pictures of our week's wildlife treasures that our animals love to find.

Poor baby bird.

When I first saw the snake I wasn't sure if he was dead or alive. SO I got a shovel and hit it a couple times. It was dead!

A mouse that Sam found but Bear Bear took over the chase... the mouse eventually escaped into a big pile of debris to be burned. Bear usually does not move very fast.

Here's a $3 garage sale chair we found... nothing like a little fabric and a lot of staples can't fix...

Before....



And After...



Shawz- I hope you like it because it finally looks great in here. And is even more comfortable, not scratchy or smelly.

the good life...

Our dogs have what one might call the good life...






Sleeping with cramped quarters...































Close up...

























All sprawled out...

















Lucky Dog has a whole new meaning.

Beach Day

We took the dogs to Waveland, MS (about 30 mins drive) to frolic in the sand and surf. They had a good time... they told us so. Arf Arf Arf.









Bear Bear loves to just sit in the water.













A game of chase.



Our cool neighbors dog Nola... being her scruffy self.

Burn Baby!

Mr. Hurricane Gustav provided us with a bunch of debris. The biggest burn piles in our history of burn piles.

Pile #1

















Pile #2







Shaw... being his normal goofy self.
























Safety 1st...

Say Hello...

Say Hello to our new ride... We got a Mazda3 hatchback. It's an 04 and has 82,000 miles. It's a fun 5 speed and very speedy. We were able to buy it out right so it's all ours.


One of our 1st adventures will be to cram our big dogs into the back and cruising to the beach. yo.








The red on the seat looks better in person.
We also have a date to tint the windows soon.




We are still trying to think of a good name... if you have any suggestions... all names will be accepted and discussed.





This car has the fancy free factor. I got a nod and a wink from a fellow traveler on the interstate today. I'll need to keep an eye on my wanna be fancy free husband and the Mazda.
