Let the grounds dry out a bit and the bluebonnets start their springtime appearance and count us in. <br /><br />Maybe we can also have the awards ceremoney we have talked about, also.Truth Ferrethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10472512360373689979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3490660904698632519.post-89278745846227821652010-02-17T22:24:53.760-08:002010-02-17T22:24:53.760-08:00TF: A dogfest in the park or something?

He knew me as Roy Rogers, John Wayne, Audie Murphy, and Mickey Mantle, among others. The next was my beloved and recently departed Maya. She could outrun me on my bicycle, and barring that, found a way to make sure I ended up in the DNF column(did not finish). When on road trips, she would, denied the opportunity to get out and herd cattle we passed on the road, shout instructions to them from the front seat of my pickup. Given the lack of livestock in our yard, she would occasionally keep her skills honed on whichever group of kids were at hand. Intelligence and focus.....no doubt. True human like care, concern, and affection also are traits they seem to have possessed......Pilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139056766491113145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3490660904698632519.post-92176393093099768182010-02-17T06:42:49.152-08:002010-02-17T06:42:49.152-08:00Hey, when the weather clears a bit and before it i...Hey, when the weather clears a bit and before it is a thousand degrees here, we should get together and bring our own four-legged family members. I would love to have pictures with them. <br /><br />I do have to warn you all though, that my guy's parents were both purebreds. When I first saw him, I had visions of a tiny, long-haired Yorkie, perky ears and all. I knew that my dreams wouldn't be realized when our vet had to ask what breed he was suppose to be. How could he not realize the breed of my precious boy? <br /><br />Oh, boy, now I know, because he is over twenty pounds and his ears never did perk. All that considered, he has the heart of a terrier, which makes for interesting encounters. Wouldn't trade him for all the teeny-tiny Yorkies in the world. Terriers go to ground in your heart and don't ever let go.Truth Ferrethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10472512360373689979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3490660904698632519.post-81989450057550177502010-02-16T20:46:05.789-08:002010-02-16T20:46:05.789-08:00Too funny, Loon!

It's a terrier world; they just let us live here.<br /><br />You are so right about the handlers. Could not describe them any better myself!Edith Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06623443279337364086noreply@blogger.com
