Life from where we are

We installed the invisible dog fence at least 8 weeks ago but have had a few problems with it ---first the control box had to be replaced, then the adaptor & finally they sent us a new collar. I have gotten so tired of trying to mow around all the flags!!!! We figured we needed to start from scratch with the training as we've stop & started so many times. Anyway we have only been using the training collar that will just gives a beeping signal if she goes too close to the flags but we noticed she stays well clear of them. Yesterday afternoon she was being totally obnoxious so I put the collar on her & sent her outside..........Popster was cooking dinner on the grill so I figured he would keep an eye on her. Next thing I hear her barking out front! I ran to the door & she is sitting at least 8 feet from the flags barking at one of the neighbors from down the street who were walking their dog.

This is how crazy Miss Molly is with the sprinkler.....we can't keep her away from it!

Tuesday was the last day of the junior Golf Lge - I will really miss seeing all the kids - they were a lot of fun! One of the younger boys handed me a thank you card he had written himself. In it was a coupon for a single scoop ice cream cone from Stewarts...............made my day!!!!

Of course Miss Li Li thinks she has to blow out all birthday candles as she thinks it's always her birthday! These are pictures of the "chicken palace". If you all remember the "pig palace" does this surprise you?

We lost the last of the "Three Musketeers" last Thurs. Lucy (yellow lab owned by my neighbor Ellen) & Onyx (black lab owned by another neighbor Carol) grew up as puppies together & Liza adopted us at 4 years old to join them. Ellen lost Lucy just before Christmas but both Liza & Onyx were able to celebrate their 14th birthdays. We like to believe that the following is true & that they are all having fun together. We sure miss you.......................... RainbowsBridge.com Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

This is a double birthday wish...........to my brother Greg & also my SIL Susan. Hope you both have a great day!

The white flowers are "goose-neck" loosestrife....the perfect name I love the way they curve over! This is a dragon's blood grass....too bad it's an annual around here! This is my new standard hydrangea
