Thanks everyone for your wonderful comments about my encounter with the skunk and my moon photos in my last post.
Also on my last post I got a lovely comment from Leaf and Ink asking to see some more pictures of my dogs. You see when you're a dog lover, and over at Leaf and Ink they clearly love their puppies, you can never really get enough of seeing dog pictures, especially herding dog pictures.
I had to chuckle when I saw the comment and thought, you know I do need to post a few pictures of the pups. The only problem is that I've not taken very many pictures of them lately. I did take a few of sweet Misty Belle last Friday morning at the crack of dawn just before we took her in to the vet's office to be spayed though.
I am now officially one of "those" dog owners. The kind who worry when their dog gets spayed and my strong maternal instinct has now extended to my furry friends as well. Oh it was always there, but now it's bad!
Thankfully Misty came through her surgery with flying colors, and my vet also understands this sort of neurotic pet parenting and called several times following the surgery to let me know how she was doing. I'm sure they've seen worse, but hey I can't help it if I love my dogs and want them to be safe and happy! Besides, sane people are so much more boring than us crazy neurotic types anyway, right?!
I actually sent these pictures to my daughter this morning and told her that Misty wants her to come home for a visit this weekend. It's been awhile since she's been home, and I knew that this face would make her want to come home! It worked, though she did make note of my not so subtle guilt technique. Hey, sometimes you just have to bring out the big guns...you know what I mean?
And now on to the winner of my Giveaway. Random.org seems to hate me lately and although I saved the image it is now floating somewhere in cyberspace never to be heard from or seen again! *sigh*
The winner is #28 who said...
Turns out the winner is a local girl! Kelly, shoot me your mailing address and I'll get the magazine in the mail to you right away. Or maybe I'll just show up on your doorstep and deliver it myself and you can fix me dinner...what do you say? Ok, I'm just kidding...kind of! ;-)
Before I go, I wanted to share this amazing video with you all that my daughter sent me this morning. I just love how this student put a twist on traditional time-lapse photography. Not only are the images gorgeous, but it makes me long to go to Paris again!
I completely forgot to Spread the Love in my last post...sorry!

ReplyDeleteMisty Belle is losing some of that 'Puppy look' about her...she has that sort of wisdom that takes over in their eyes! Just beautiful. I know you must have worried dearly about her!
