Ain't They Cute ????????

My new passion seems to be a breed of dog........ when we got our Chelsea, and we kept researching all of the breeds that we thought that she could be, we were blown away by a breed of dog called the Briard. Sometimes I think it's my Chelsea on steroids......... Chelsea is a Briard wannabe.......... so, Dave and I are researching breeders, and we'd love to get another puppy perhaps this Winter. In fact, there is a litter due in October that we would love to get a puppy from...... truth is, there is a long list of people wanting pups from this litter, so we'll just have to see....... we'll probably end up with another puppy before we see our babies face. This wait is taking so long............

Above you have Savvy on the left, and Farley on the right. Farley grew up, and the two actually had a litter of puppies...... my friend Holly is the proud doggie Mom to the three pooches......... here is a picture of Giaco............. I would scoff him up in a minute is Holly would let me, but she's very content to have her Golden Retriever in a Briard suit. He's calm, cool and collected............

9/22/07 Survivor China O.M.G.

Wow, just caught Survivor China through the CBS website, and I have to say that I am thoroughly hooked. It was very soothing to view the Countryside and know that our child is probably alive and breathing, and existing in that environment. It is absolutely breathtaking to see the landscape, the homeland of our little girl.

The sites and sounds are incredible, the only thing missing is the smell. I've done a bit of traveling, and I have found that different areas smell different....... can't wait to smell China, or not, (well, maybe not :) ).

Excited to see the next episode............. oh, and Ashley is from the same area as I am, so I've known of her for a while now, and have been aware of her wrestling career. Go Ashley!! But, I'm really not too sure if I like her or not, haven't made up me mind yet..........

Oh, here's the Daddy update.......... he seems to be a bit better these days, he's feeling better, AND, he's nicer too.... but that's probably cause we begged the Doc in charge to give him happy pills........ I think they are working. We're hopeful that he will be able to leave our home in the next 2 weeks....... every day I say, "2 weeks". It's been a Month already........ yikes......... 2 weeks!!!!!!!

Osprey Plans Made In Vain - "Silly Me" September 7, 2007

Well, I'm almost there in the Osprey Pole Installation. Thought I had all of my Ducks in a row, so to speak, but apparently, there are other forces at work......... so far to recap....... after last years rescue of the Baby Osprey, I named Henry- which didn't end up going according to plan........ the rescue did, but Henry's injuries were far too serious, and he eventually had to be euthanized. Months, and months of care, and expert care at that, from Veterinarians from many renound institutions..... ie, the Bronx Zoo. I vowed to make a difference and commemorate him by installing two new poles in the area to further propagate the Osprey Population. All of this under the expertise of Mr. Jim Jones, my Osprey Mentor. For more info regarding my work on this project, look under the archives to the right for August. Pics of Henry there as well!!!!

Well, we FINALLY built the poles, but now they need to be installed. Moving them alone is a project. I finally was able to set up the use of a friends flatbed truck. Tim, owns Autobahn, and auto body shop....... well, we set up the delivery of these poles, which are soooooo heavy and require big robust men :).

With everything almost in place, in trying to schedule the crew to help put these poles up, which is just like a Barn Raising....... you need a bunch of good men and women....... or many kids, hehehe. Anyway, it was almost in place, planned around a low tide, and voila........ it happens to be our Towns yearly event, called Cow Harbor Day. They have a 10 K run right through my neighborhood, roads closed, and traffic at a standstill..... the day needs to be changed. Oh well, we will try again in two weeks, on the weekend of the 29th of September...... cross your fingers, toes, and all crossable body parts, a years work nearing an end, I want to sit back and close the chapter with a smile and a beer.

Cheers.............
