AT LAST

It has taken me several days to get the blog page set up, but I think it is ready to go. Those of you that know me, know that I am not computer literate enough to create a great fancy blog page like some of the ones I see on line, but this is my best attempt for now. I must say, I am pretty of proud of it for a beginner.

We have been very busy the past few months with the new addition to our quiet, peaceful, serene lives. It all started back around my birthday when I told Randall that I wanted a puppy for my birthday. Much to my surprise he said "look in the paper and see what you can find, we will get one today". YIKES! I wasn't really expecting that. But even more surprising was when he said, "You know, I have always liked English Springer Spaniels, do you think raising two puppies would be much harder than one?" Oh have I lived to regret the next words out of my mouth....."two can't be that much harder than one, besides, they will have each other to play with". AGGHHHHHH
That same weekend we found Conan, our Chocolate Labrador and Booger, our black and white English Springer Spaniel. Since the end of August, we have spent a fortune on vet bills, obedience classes and now an Invisible Fence. Our lives have become a shouting match of SIT, NO, OFF, NO, STOP IT, NO, NO, NOOOOOOO. And every now and then, they are just calm enough, and just sweet enough to lay their heads in our lap and let us stroke them and love them and think..... Someday this will all be worthwhile.
