Arrival of newest Putchinski

Just got off the phone with my in-laws and they finally brought home their new puppy. He is a 10wk old King Charles Springer. My mother in-law is thrilled to death, she has been waiting and waiting through all of the test and shots to get her guy. I am very happy for her but I am thankful that I don't have to take my hounds out into a foot of snow to do their business! She is sending me a picture so as soon as I get it and scan it I will post it.

Dog days of summer??

Nope not summer at all in fact it is the middle of February! My dogs wouldn't know it though! We went for a walk and run in a field, it did not take long for my cuties to start panting. They were silly hounds with their huge tongues all over the place. It is quite amusing to walk around with both dogs because people always stare. 360lbs of dog going down the street is pretty unusual I would say.

Snow Day for Dogs

I wish that the weather would make up its mind! Crazy weather and people just do not drive well because we don't get snow and ice much. School is out and I am the only one that braved it to work. Dogs seemed to enjoy it, Brutus loves to eat snow. We get him snow cones sometimes and he really loves them. I guess to him it was one big snow cone!

The big W W

At the urging of my doctor for two years I decided that I would give Weight Watchers a try. My blood pressure has been out of control for quite some time so anything that could help it I think I am willing to try.
High blood pressure is something that was passed down to me, I have had it since I was about 17. It has really been terrible lately, I have had migraines and dizziness overall felt yucky.
Hate to have headaches, hate to feel like I don't want to do anything so I am giving in and we will see what happens at the "WW". LOL

10lb challenge

They are doing a 10lb challenge at work so I figure it will be worth the $10 to join just to have some accountability. So you pay $10 to a pot and you have to have lost 10lbs. at the end of 10 weeks to be eligible to get a share of the kitty.
Even without the money it is a good kick start to get going on losing some weight to help out my my blood pressure issues.

Happy New Year

WoW already 2011 it seems like yesterday that it was just 2000. Went for a walk through some wooded pastures around and found an old homestead. It was falling in and someone before me had gone through and pulled out a bike. It was as if the person who owned it had just layed it down, pretty cool finding it. Guess that is why I love taking pictures, you can look at an image over and over and still see something new about it.

Old time Christmas
