My two puppies....Edition #2 Maserati

Maserati...aka Masi (ma zeee) She is approxiamately 10 weeks old, a dark blue female Weimaraner puppy. I don't have her papers yet, and I'm not sure when we will get them, I WILL be getting vet records and such soon, but it was sorta a hasty pick up. Here is her story. Mazi came from a good breeder for $1000.00! Happy couple brings her home, within the week she has eaten rat poison, YES rat poison, back to the breeders she goes, half dead. The breeder spends $7000 at the vet office to save her. After long days of IV's, meds and such she has recovered. So off to the foster home she goes. This foster home father just happens to work with Dewey, BUT its the office secretary who contacts Emily (Happy Tails Owner's Wife) saying they need to find a home for a weim. I've always loved them, but didn't think WE could have her so I call dew, to ask a guy at his work that works with bird dogs. Dew becomes interested, and when I get out of work we decide that YES we can have her. So the next day I call the Secretary at Dew's work (this is when i found out everything was all connected wierd yes). Unfortunately someone picked the puppy up that morning. But she wasnt sure she could financially support the pup, nor be able to handle her. Well not even a week later we get a phone call saying the lady will be returning her to the fosters, so yesterday morning at 7:30 I drove to dew's work and picked the puppy up. We got Sid during this week that the other lady had mazi, and now I can't give him up, so we have worked out the kinks. I LOVE PUPPIES. and i'm so happy to have a weim AND a basenji :)

My two puppies....Edition #1 Sid

Sid is a 7 month old basenji whom I've Fallen in LOVE with. He is just wonderful. He follows me around everywhere. He is actually sitting under my chair right now ;). He will be living most of the next 9 months while I am back at school with Glo. She is the breeder and my friend. This way he can stay intact, have a show career, and I'd still be able to have him as my own after I graduate from my last year of undergraduate school *YIPPEEE**** Anyways he is adorable. He is doing great at the daycare. His first day was a little rocky, but he's gotten MUCH better since then. I really think he's starting to bond with me. Not so much with dew I'm afraid :(. Dewey is rather upset that Sid is CONSTANTLY looking for me, when I'm not there with him and dew. Like this morning on his walk, he WOULD NOT walk and kept trying to run back to the house, he did finally go to the bathroom however! Well here is my little boy *grin*

Long summer weekend called the 4th

Well its been a LONG weekend and now I'm doing the split shift at work...meaning I get to come home for 4 hours for "lunch". This last weekend was the 4th of July...Independance day...whoo who! Me and the Dew went to visit my dad. It was good and bad all at the same time. For some reason (PMS maybe?) I just couldn't handle my dad this weekend. I had a VERY short fuse and he kept pissing me off. Normally his rantings and ramblings are easily ignored, but not this weekend. Oh well he seemed happy to see me, and sent me home with more stuff. I finally was able to bring my antique sewing machine home. Its one of the original electric Singers that is attached to a table. Its really cool, but until now we didn't have anyway to bring it home, since we just had a small car, and it wouldn't fit.

I took some pretty pictures while i was there. I took a few of the chickens and the barn swallows, and some of the scenary. There is an awesome veiw of the mountains from the farm. We took the scenic route home, so I have some pretty pictures of that too. *phew* so last night we went to see the fireworks and I filled my digital camera, much fun ;). ha! We walked there and back so my knee is hurting again....bleh! and when we got home we didn't get to sleep till after midnight because the damn neighbors kept lighting off their own illegal fireworks *grumble* Early bed time for me tonight. I'll post some pictures
