What's going on

Been awhile since I updated what's going on with us, so here's just a quick blurb. School continues for me as ever(will I ever be done? Oh no, wait nurses have continuing education, so no! Never!) Sadie is just as spoiled as the day we got her. Yesterday Doug & I went to Rockford just for something to do. We went to Petsmart to just get Sadie the normal things: a new toy, a new collar, a couple frisbees to destroy, etc. Well, we started looking at food and water dishes...that turned into.."Hey, look at this!" "Sadie would love that" " we cant' get that for her" "but she'll love it" "we wouldn't have to refill her water bowl as much!"...now you know it's something to do with her water bowl...A FOUNTAIN! Yes, our little water whore who can never get enough to drink got a fountain. It holds about 2.5 gallons of water and continuously runs so that the water stays cool. She hasn't emptied it as of yet!

And as I write this Doug is at a barn fire. He had a car on fire last night that kept him out until at least 12:15 and another call today at lunch and it's been 4 hours since he left. Sally and I took the firefighters water and sandwiches to sustain them in this frigid weather. Doug said that last night the water was freezing almost as soon as it left the hose!

Old photo, but shows you what he's been doing. You can see Doug's name on his butt!

Rescue...


The one you left at the pound.

The one you had for seven years,

and no longer wanted around

I ADOPTED YOUR DOG TODAY

Do you know he's lost weight?

Do you know he's scared and depressed, and has lost all his faith?

I ADOPTED YOUR DOG TODAY

He had fleas and a cold,

but don't worry none,

You've unburdened your load.

I ADOPTED YOUR DOG TODAY....

Were you having a baby or moving away?

Did you suddenly develop allergies

Or was there no reason he couldn' t stay?

I ADOPTED YOUR DOG TODAY

He doesn't play or eat much.

He's very depressed, but he will learn again to trust.

I ADOPTED YOUR DOG TODAY....

And here he will stay.

He's found his forever home,

and a warm bed on which to lay.

I ADOPTED YOUR DOG TODAY....

And I will give him all that he could need.

Patience, love, security, and understanding,

hopefully he will forget your selfish deed.

I ADOPTED YOUR DOG TODAY
