Not In The Mood?!?

When dinner with Tayten starts out like this....

You know he is not in the mood to eat....just to throw his food into the dog bowl. Here is Bella gulping the "new garlic flavored" water Tayten made for her! Soon all 4 dogs were gathered round the bowl, wondering who was going to actually eat the garlic bread! Aggie-1, Charli-1, both little dogs were completely shut out! You know all those dogs are going to expect "flavored" water from now on!

Notice the innocent little cup of ranch? Just sitting there minding its own business...

Yep, Tayten noticed it too...

Do you like your ranch stirred or shaken?

Why waste all that time with the spoon?

Tasty... thanks Pizza Plus


So here is his cute little crossed legs again, this was at the beginning of dinner...

This is his cute little legs once he discovered the ranch...He was super excited!

There's that profile that I love so much!

And he knows a few tricks, Look Dad- NO HANDS

That was so good while it lasted...

Finito... someone get me outta here!

I think there is a bath, with my name all over it!

PS- No shirt was ruined in the making of this post! They don't call me the Laundry Queen for nothing, you know!

Pack Expansion

Meet Hurley. His name should be Miracle. Hurley was one of those "free" puppies that was in a box all alone in front of a Wal-mart. Cue Sven who is walking into Wal-Mart to buy his lovely wife something for their anniversary. Sven sees box which says "free puppy" and waits maybe half a second and opens the box, Sven immediately falls in love, takes puppy home, wonders if Ash will be mad when she gets off of work and of course she falls in love too! Everyone lives happily ever after right?

Hurley seemed to be ill, pretty much from the get go and after a visit to the vet and some tests, little Hurley was diagnosed with full on parvo! 90% of puppies that are as sick as Hurley was, die. The vet gave Hurley an IV and some medication and told them that they should really put him down. They decided to take him home and if he wasn't any better the next morning they would take him back to the vet to do just that. The next morning "Miracle" was hungry,wanted to eat and wasn't vomiting anymore! Yeah!! He was not able to be around any of our dogs for at least a month, but made his Bear Lake debut last week.

Welcome to the pack, Hurley! Sami, Aggie, Charli, Bella, Cabo are glad to have you!

Compliments To The Chef

Our lil' man is quite the lover of all things food! There are very few things that I have seen him turn down. On this night, I made him some of his favorites! Spaghetti with sauce and parmesan cheese, garlic bread (loves) and fresh corn on the cob! This is how he ended up looking once he had his fill of all the yumminess! Yes, there was sauce in his ears, his hair and everywhere else. We even found some leftovers that he had "packed away" for later when we took him up for his bath!?!

All the dogs have figured out that if they hang around Tayten's high chair long enough there is bound to be a reward in it for them at some point. Quicker than not Tayten turns it into a game and giggles as he drops food to the ground and then quickly leans over to see which dog managed to get away with the "treat".

Bon Appetit!




I love the way he still crosses his little legs. He has been doing this since he was born and I think it is so sweet!

At work the other day I was talking with my boss and another co-worker about an email we received from our accountants in Houston. This email discussed all the new and different taxes that will become part of all of our lives in the very near future! Honestly, it makes ones head spin and then one wants to sit in a corner and cry.

Here is an email that I received the other day that seems to really tell it how it is.

FYI- This is my blog and only my opinions are expressed here and those opinions are subject to change. Not likely this time though!



I do not like this Uncle Sam, I do not like his health care scam.

I do not like these dirty crooks, or how they lie and cook the books.

I do not like when Congress steals,

I do not like their secret deals.

I do not like this speaker Nan,

I do not like this 'YES WE CAN'.

I do not like this spending spree,

I'm smart, I know that nothing's free,

I do not like your smug replies, when I complain about your lies.

I do not like this kind of hope.

I do not like it. nope, nope, nope!

Let's Talk S.P.A.M.

Those of you that know me, know that my job is Human Resources Manager for a really wonderful and successful company.I love my job! Best job I have EVER had. Yep, it's that once in a lifetime kind of job that I just "fell" into and will never leave. Yes, it's that good!

The one thing that drives me crazy at work is the amount of SPAM/JUNK EMAIL I receive each and every day. It is like an avalanche of discusting filth, and drug enticed notices that try to get me to open their message by being ever so creative with their "subject" line.

Here is just a sampling of the lovely little "love" notes I received in my outlook/webmail (yes, i manage several email accounts) in just a few hours one afternoon.
