Whining

and bitching and moaning and barking and whining and barking and did I mention whining. 

The dogs are trying to kill me or at least make me very cranky.  I think we are going to try and get a breeding tomorrow, maybe some will SHUT UP!

Ok I’m done whining.

Girls really do choose

Seems like girls really do make the choices.  Lindy is all about dancing and flirting with PJ but if Henry gets anywhere near her she tries to rip his face off.  Poor guy.

Song and Dance man

christmas-day-050

Poor Henry, the smell factor is heating up.  Lindy and Wicca are now beginning to get really interesting and Henry is very sad.   Henry spent the day at Grandma’s and he wasn’t really happy about it and spent his day singing and dancing at the gate, poor guy.  PJ is still guarding his girl but he knows nothing is going on yet.

I’m glad I only have to work a couple of days this week since the singing will most likely keep me awake.

A Low Key Christmas

We spent a very low key Christmas around here.  It was just my Mom and I and the dogs.  My brother Randy wasn’t able to get home from Austin this year.  We ate some food, opened some gifts, watched The Christmas Story a couple of times, and I talked to a bunch of my friends who are far away.  Mostly we just hung out.

This is pretty much how we all spent the day.  Notice Lindy’s lovely Camo panties.  Auntie Phyllis’ Mom made them for her.

She is really very relaxed.  The boys of course are not as relaxed.

Poor Henry, he is pouting.

PJ enjoys some lap time with Grandma.

One of my favorite gifts, a barn yard of carol singing animals!  Thanks Leslie and Bob!

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

Who are they……another game of Blog Tag

Sherilyn of Winjammin tagged me to play the game of describing the dogs. The idea is to think about each one of your dog’s personalities and decide that if the dog was human, who would they be…either a general description or a person.

 

Windy (12 year old GSP)

 

The Diva, need I say more?   She is demanding and expect homage.  She is materialistic, she wants her stuff and it is HER stuff.  She is a creature of comfort, puffy beds, blankets, she will not be cold.  

 

Stoney (8 year old CWC)

 

The grumpy old guy who lives in the neighborhood.  Always yelling at the kids to stay off his grass, yelling at the neighbors to turn that darn music down.  Then gets pissed off  if he isn’t invited to the block pary.  He has his favorites and he will do anything in the world for those he loves.

 

Wicca (6 year old GSP)

 

The track star, if she wasn’t running she would be getting into trouble.  Needs her routine.  Likes her solitary runs but tolerates her roommates.  Needs to be adored and always wants her coach praising her efforts.  Too pretty for her own good.

 

 

Lindy (3 year old CWC)

 

The bossy, know it all chick from your office.  She never shuts up, always wanting to know what you are doing and why are you doing it.  Very cute, was probably a cheerleader in High School.

 

Henry ( 3 year old CWC)

 

The High School basketball nerd, hasn’t really reached his peak, athletic, sort of smart but more dorky than anything.  Sensitive and has his feelings hurt really easily, especially by the girls.

 

PJ (23 month old CWC)

 

Mr. Nice guy, looks good, feels good, likes everyone and they like him.  Chicks dig him.  He thinks everything is just swell.  Likes to hang out and be social.   Gets good grades,  does well at sports, is nice to old people.  Thinks life is a blast, especially if there is food involved.

 

I’ll Tag Traci and Jeri and Holly, Tag you are it!

What we have been waiting for!

lindyfront31

Lindy has finally come in season and she and PJ should be “celebrating” around the New Year.  I’m excited about this upcoming breeding as this will be the 1st litter of Cardigans born at Solstice. 

I know some of you have been waiting for news about the PJ x Lindy litter and I’m happy to be able  to have some sort timeline now. 

Of course we have to get the breeding done, hope she is expecting, whelp the litter and raise the little darlings, wish us luck :-) .

I’ll update as things develop.

Not only the dogs

Ok, not only do I force my dogs to wear goofy holiday hats with me, my Mom gets into the action too.

skywatch-utep-014

 

We went to a UTEP basketball dinner in the Larry K Durham center and wore our reindeer horns.  They always make people smile.  We smiled because both our Men’s and Women’s teams won that day.

Of course Mom aka Ginger, is at least as goofy as me so the holiday hats aren’t a problem for her either.
