My Puppies!!

This is Copper. He is a 5 year old Vizsla. He loves to play ball and hates the water. I got him when he was just seven weeks; the cutest puppy I had ever seen! He also believes that he is a lap dog, a huge 65 pound lab dog!

This is Sadie. She is a 3 year old Yellow Lab. She loves everything...water, fetching, chewing. I adopted her two years ago from Utah Lab Rescue; she was abused. She hates the blowdryer and flip-flops; I think she was hit with flip-flops as a puppy, so sad! She is a big pup, weighing in at 100 pounds.

We're getting up there...in age that is!

So, my good friend Amber and I go out to see the movie "Mama Mia", which by the way is fantastic. After the movie we stop by Amber's parents house and then decide to go to Dee's for a bite to eat. The time is about 9:30 pm, yep that's past my bedtime. We entice Amber's younger sister, Angie, to join us on our late night out. Angie continues to remind us just how ridiculous we are, going to Dee's before 11:00 pm...well I guess we get the Senior discount! One early bird special for me! It's been years since I've been to Dee's or Denny's, not to mention that it was usually after midnight back in those days! Unfortunately for Angie we weren't the only ones there...someone she knows might see her at Dee's with seniors...how embarrassing!

The Windy City in July!

I went to Chicago for work in July. It was absolutely beautiful! I loved this city; although I didn't get to see a whole lot of it, I was absolutely taken by it's beauty. One of the evenings a group of us went on a River Boat Cruise which was basically a tour of the city from the river. This was such a neat experience! Talk about "SKY-SCRAPERS" it was incredible...not to mention the great shopping while I waited to catch a taxi before the trip home! And I did get to experience real, chicago-style pizza; it was great and totally filling! I'm definately going back...this time on my own time!

Seattle in June

Sorry, these pictures are so belated! Occasionally I have to do a little traveling for work. Some people say I'm so lucky that I get to travel for work...well I think that if you get excited about traveling for work, you've never traveled for work. Sure you get a little free time to see the sights, but most of your time spent is for work. I went to Seattle in June for a couple of days. I got a short amount of time to take some pictures and go on an Under Ground Seattle tour; which was pretty neat by the way, if you don't know much about Seattle's history you should read about. The orginal city of Seattle caught on fire many, many years ago and the town's people just rebuilt the streets on top of the old. So, when you walk into a building from the main street you'd think that you're on the first floor when really you just walked in through the second floor.
