This and That

As you all know, Abbey had a Birthday recently, A Long, Lean, Dog Lovin Machine now 12. In her arms is Lady Liberty, I guess Libby for short. Libby is still with her mother until the end of the month. I think the transfer of the pure bred Lab to Abbey's house is scheduled for September 27. Quite a few of Abbey's gifts surrounded a pet theme. Aunt Sarah Palmer threw her a Hawaii themed surprise party. Everyone wore Lei's and grass skirts, appropriate south sea and Carribian music played in the background.

Now the next two pictures are from Connecticut. That's Rebecca with Annie, a two year old Poodle that Beth rescued from the Pound in Waterbury. For the moment Beth, Matt and company are Foster Parents. Beth called me earlier in the week and told me about Annie, knowing Grannie and I are interested in getting a Poodle in the near future. With a pending trip to SC and a few other things going on as well, we just couldn't commit to taking Annie at this time.

I had not heard from Beth or Matt and just knew that Annie was in the house with Belle and Cody. The other picture is Beth with Belle and Annie. Annie apparently has a few minor health issues that Beth is already working on. According to Beth she is a great lady. She's getting along well with everyone, dogs included. She even enjoys a car ride. So, we shall see where this young ladies future puts her. Beth, your too much!

On another front, Rachael and her Salisbury School soccer teamwon their second game of the season, beating Gunston School on Friday 6 - 1. Today Ray was with Abbey helping her organize her room, it's a special knack Ray has.

Granny spent another day at the farm, cleaning and organizing. My great task for the day was scrubbing Hummingbird feeders, filling them and all our other feeders and tending to the chicken's food and water as well. It's almost time for the Hummers to head south, but should they linger awhile they will have fresh food.

For now it's Uconn vs. Virginia on ESPNU, go Huskies. Have a great night everyone!
