This is so sweet

I got an e-mail from a friend saying that she had read my blog, and when she saw the picture of Spunky she got tears in her eyes! Saying that Spunky was her 'hero'. That is so sweet!!

~~Q~


Today Quentin has decided to stay home w/me today. This about the third day that he has been sick, but, today is much better then the other days.. He is actually up playing computer, and playing his game cube. So, this is a good sign. Q has even taught me how to play chess, of course, do not ask me how to play. =-) He has been very patience w/me and has let me as the same questions repeat a few times. If anyone wants to know how to play it, I know someone who can teach you.
Oh, one more thing... For those who would like to know, losing your power when it's cold out really SUCKS!! We lost it for 12 hours, and I was wearing lots of layers, because, I do not like to freeze. I know we did not have it that bad, my friend had lost her power in Dec. for longer then we did. So, I should not complain.

Pictures.

This is Simon..
This is Spunky..

~~~Life goes on~~~

Well, last week was a year since we had to put down a wonderful dog, Spunky. Man, so many things to remember about him. To start off w/he could run so fast!!! I have never seen a dog in his day run like he did. Spunky was also a great protector, he would stop any fight. His favorite girl was Jenny, man, those too 'loved' each other. Spunk's best mate was Peaches though, he was the best thing for her. He knew how to get Peaches up and playing. After Peaches came Ginger, and those turned out to be good friends. Spunky ended up getting cancer at the age of 13, but, he had a wonderful life.. Who ever left this little thing in the pound back in IN, lost out in the GREAT DOG!! I do have to say that Spunky lived up to his name, I remember a funny story of when he was little, we came home to see that it had 'snowed' in our home. Well it was not snow, LOL, it was cornstarch. Even though, we were mad at the time, we have laughed about it many times since.
Ok, and for those who know me, will understand when I say that w/in 3 days after Spunky pasted away, we got a new dog. His name is Simon. I thought for sure Ginger would be so happy to see this 70 pound dog come into her life, but, that really wasn't the case once he got here. Simon as it turnes out, is the annoying little brother, who just does not stop bugging her!! I'm sure if she could talk, I would not know what she wanted to say!!!!!!!!!! =-) Again, we got him from PAWS, and he is a great dog too. Of course, he is not like Spunky, Peaches, or any of the other animals we have had. He is his own dog.
