I know it has been forever since I have posted anything, a lot has been going on. Since Christmas, we have taken a trip down to my Mom’s in Georgia, I’ve been laid off from work, and I’ve joined Tupperware. How has all this affected my blogging?
We made a quick trip to Mom’s just after Christmas, and returned on Dec 30. We picked up a few things that she wanted to get rid of. Like a small chest freezer that now sits on my front porch so I don’t have to go all the way to the barn every night. We also got a wood chipper that will come in handy when we go to clean up our woods out back, allowing us to make our own mulch for the garden. And a few more pieces of family history, that I am really looking forward to digging into.
We took Boo Boo with us, because we thought she would get along great with Mom’s dog, Winston, and that Winston would like the company. That didn’t work out like planned. While we were able to have both dogs in the house at the same time, we couldn’t really trust them. They are both dominate dogs, and both wanted to own the place. Boo Boo was protective of me and Nathan and didn’t like Winston around us. So, they never really got to run around together and play. We just didn’t want to take any chances. Luckily, Mom has her whole 5 acres fenced in with the back yard to the house also enclosed with fencing. So, any outdoors time was spent in separate areas.
Boo Boo And Winston
Even though it was the end of December when we were there, Mom has some wonderful flowers blooming. So, grabbing my camera, I shot these, just because I want learn what my new camera can do.
On the way home, we found a nice store that had an area to walk your pets. Boo Boo went totally crazy when she saw the dog statues by the entrance arch, but quickly checked them out and then went about her business. There were picnic tables for us to enjoy our lunch, a chain to tie her to, and even a dog house she could go in. I wasn’t really too keen on the dog house, since it looked like it had not been cleaned in a while, and you never know if the animals before you had any diseases such as Parvo or anything else. But, it was a good place to rest, let Boo Boo strectch her legs, and us too!
It was an uneventful trip home, and I, for one, was glad to get back home and start the new year.
Story Continues in next post.
I forgot that the whole world does not freeze up in December! We never had the greatest luck traveling with our dog either. He is a great guy, but a terrible houseguest.
I really thought Boo Boo would be great company, but as it turns out, she is too protective of me and Nathan. Oh well, she is our baby girl! lol
