Arla

Sweet Tweety's Arla !!!!!!!

Mtnck - I don't do much runnining there,but alot of walking.Most of it behind a push mower ,as it is my back yard.There's a saying that goes "If you're lucky enough to live by the water, you're lucky enough."

well, we're lucky enough to have bought a fixer upper on .75acre on a point on the Metedeconk River in Bricktown.

Anyway, since we're in prancing pet mode,here's Buddy with his evil nemisis , Lucky the cat.

Really cool to see all the groups critter friends. Here is ours; Kiesha P Sage frisbee is her sport!!



Buddy looks like the kind of dog that would'nt let all those insults the kitties speel out go.........
Good for u Mtn Chk and really good for the new pup! Yes Goodland is very similar ag to us.

how do you guys post pictures? I'm LOVIN the pet pics!! I want to send mine.

Hey Joe, how did you get your dog's ear to stay up like that? TOO cute!

I was gonna say, "Mornin', All!", but it's after noon. I was a late riser this morning. One of those days when I could've easily slept off and on all day. But finally dragged myself out of bed at 9:00 and hit the road for my last long run before next weekend. 8 miles in 1:25:36 = 10:42 average.

It's an absolutely gorgeous day here. Crisp and sunny.

Still fighting the $@%^ing blisters. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!! Two small ones on the ball of left foot and a small one on the end of a toe on the right. Felt the toe one coming at during the last mile or so. I looked at my sock, felt in my shoe - can't figure out why. My shoes aren't too small. I had to get an entire size larger than I normally wear to accommodate my resurfaced orthotics. But I got in the mail some blister patches that are suppose to be specifically for athletes, and the packet includes little dinky ones that should fit over the toe, so we'll see. I tried a different sock this morning, which may be the problem today. Will go back to my old socks, blister patches, blister prevention patches, and duct tape. Something's gotta work!

Tonight's Arts Alive! and a wine tasting to benefit a local grammar school. I think I might be doing a lot of laying on the couch tomorrow . . .

Have a great weekend, everyone!

PS - Keep bringin' on the pics! They liven things up.

LOVE all the animal pics! Everyone's "babies" are beautiful! DH has moved our digital pictures to some obscure location on the home network (yep, that's right, I'm married to a geek and I can't find them at the moment. However, two of our kids are pictured on our website at:

Baloo is our lone cat right now and came to us from one of my former employee's neighbors who was moving and couldn't keep him. He seems to be part Russian Blue and maybe part persian??. Big sweet kitty who knows how to handle our four dogs (inferior creatures according to him). The dog pictured is Katy, who came to us from the Dallas SPCA right after Hurricaine Katrina (hence the name). She looks sweet, but is our Jekyl and Hyde pup. Hates one of our other dogs, but LOVES people and dogs. She comes the closest to a running dog, but after a mile or two likes to roll around on her back in any nice grass she sees. So cute I don't have the heart to correct her.

Rode my bike to/from the gym to lift weights today and felt pretty good. Can feel some weakness in the leg, but not any pain to speak of while riding the bike. Not a long ride, only 6 miles round trip. Was a beautiful day!

Progress, not perfection.

Let's see if I did this right. Here is Ginny and Beau...Ginny is the sheltie, and Beau is the border terrier, in the back of our jeep getting ready to go for a ride!
