Max



Pongo

Danny Boy

Are these two not the cutest pair you've ever seen???

Crazy & his little shadow, Judge

A conversation between friends...

Judge: Hey buddy, you've got a dirty spot on your forehead, let me lick it clean.

Crazy: Thanks little buddy!

Judge: Oh, and let me get that smudge of grain that's stuck to your lips.

Judge: You taste good.

Crazy: Oh yeah, that feels good! Right there, that's the spot.

Crazy: I love you Judgey!!

Crazy: You just stand close to me, I'll protect you from that little ass...

Grady O'Brady and Ty Bug



Earlier that day at Wendell Moore Park in Buckner...

We were there for the annual Teddy Bear Walk, which ended up being cancelled because of the weather. But as long as we were there, we made the best of it.

Kim & the hooded Olivia

John & Olivia

Extreme Make-over Pix & then some

The only pictures I was able to take while at the Extreme Makeover Home were with my cell phone. About half were just awful because of the pixels (or whatever), but these were some of the better shots...

John looking tough in his hardhat (**swoon**)

"Extreme Patty" and John. I think John met his match, as she's as much a "life of the party" kind of person as he is. :)

Eric (sorry, didn't turn out very clear).

Despite the neighborhood being somewhat run-down, I have to say, it was located in a very pretty setting near Jefferson Forest.

I felt it was safe to post these photos as I'm not showing anything that wasn't seen on the news or that you can't see by driving past the house...

This is the garage and attached gym/wrestling room.

Not that you can tell it's him, but the guy in the green/white plaid shirt standing next to the bus is Ty Pennington.

Because of his signature plaid shirt, he was always easy to identify, even from a distance.

This was after the family finally got to see the house and many of us were trying to escape.

I really wish I'd gotten a better picture of the beams above the front porch, they really were pretty, almost looking like giant 4-leaf clovers.

These are a few more random pictures that I finally downloaded from my phone...

Don't ever let anyone tell you that a Great Dane isn't a lapdog.

Danny Boy & Pongo sharing a drink as we filled their tank.

They really are bestest-buds!!

Thunder

We've all encountered stray dogs or cats wondering on to our property from time to time, but have you ever encountered this kind of stray?...

An oink, oink here and an oink, oink there...

This is Fredrick. He was a stray pig that showed up at the farm I volunteer at.

Is he not the CUTEST thing you've ever seen? Seriously, I wanted to bring him home with me.

Sadly, his owners showed up a few days later and claimed him, **sniff**, at least I have his picture to remember him by.

If ever I'm fortunate enough to have a home in the country, I will have a pig, this I vow!
