I Think I Saw A Puppy!

Since mom & dad are coming home from texas tomorrow I thought

it would be nice for them to come home to a clean house....So

I packed up the kids and headed to KY this morning.

After we were finished cleaning, we headed home and

about 10 minutes down the interstate, Ethan insisted that I turn

around. He thought that he had seen a puppy in the median.

"Mom, it could be hurt, can we go get it?"

How do I say no to that?

Well...you don't....So, I turned around....

Sure enough...sitting in the median was this little brown puppy dog.

She was hurt and very thin. So I scooped her up....How hard could it
be to find help for this poor puppy? I drove to the nearest
gas station and asked for a phone book to call the Humane
Society. The clerk was nice, gave me the book and
tried to show me how to use the phone.
(he was not from the US)
After trying every possible number under animal shelter in the phone book I
decided to call the Sheriff's dept. The clerk suddenly jerked
the phone away from me and said I could call anyone but no
police...I said, "Why? It isn't long distance."...He said, "They
charge me to call them."
(Did I look that dumb?)

Anyway, the woman who answered said in an ever so sweet voice
that I would have been better off to have left the dog on the road
'cause no-one will be open til Monday....The State Trooper Office
told me basically the same thing.

Well, I was not bringing this dog home with me....no matter how
cute those big brown eyes were....and the fact that the kids had already
named her twice wasn't changing my mind either. ;o}

A couple of towns later, I stopped by the police station and
they got me in touch with a lady who takes in strays. Only
bad thing is....she lived in the town I just passed! In the state I just left!

Well, I will spare you all of the details but the trip home that should have
taken about 1 1/2 hours....ended up taking about 3 1/2.

It shouldn't be that hard to do the right thing!
So, tell me.....Would you have stopped and picked up the puppy?

Today's Foto Friday theme is:

'Things That Make You Go ~ Hmmmm'

You know~those things that make you stop, stare and wonder,
'What were they thinking?'

This is my dear hubby...we were browsing through the straw

market in Nassau when he saw this hat that comes with its own

built in dreadlocks.

Oh yeah~He is gonna want to strangle me for this!

Don't forget to let me know you are playing. I can't
wait to see everyone's Fotos!

Boys & Their Bows

The boys finally got their bow in yesterday! Yay!

No-more constant nagging about the mail being slow or

the place we bought it from ripping us off.

It came yesterday and for the first time in two weeks they didn't

notice that the mail man was here. I grabbed up the package and hid it in

the laundry room.

(:o}~I know, that was a little sneaky)

I wanted to save it for when their dad got home and could see them

open it. You should have seen the look on their faces when I told them

it had been sitting in the laundry room for most of

the day and they were walking right past it.

They have been outside practicing all day.

I hope they get better...we have already lost two arrows in the grass. ;o}

She Gets it Honestly

As most of you know, we homeschool...we use Switched

on Schoolhouse. Each child has their own unit that they can

log into and design using one of the several pre-set themes.

When Dalton logged onto his school yesterday,

this is what he found...

Kayla had logged into his school and changed his theme to
this girly one. Needless to say, he didn't think it was too funny
but I thought it was hilarious...he had it coming --- trust me.

The prank part she gets from her daddy...the getting even
part~well, she gets that from me. ;o}
