No More Trampoline!

The wind took our Trampoline across our garden and here is where it landed.  All busted up.  I didn't think it was that windy, at least my garden wasn't too far along, nothing was damaged there.

Even though the kids are smiling in the picture, they were NOT happy that we no longer have a tramp to jump on. They thought it was crazy where/how it landed.  If anyone knows of someone locally who is getting rid of one for cheap let me know!  These things are expensive!

The poor thing was mangled beyond repair.  As soon as my husband got home we took it down and put it away.  I have no idea when/if we'll get another one.  It was a favorite activity outside.  Guess I'll have to start saving my pennies for a new one!

Wordless Wednesday

Woke up to this one morning last week.  Isn't nature amazing!

Wordless Wednesday

Here is the Rock-Chuck who was trying to live in our garage....lol what a day!  If you want to see one of the funny videos of us trying to get him away/out of our garage, you can check it out here: Rock-Chuck Video

 

New Do For an Old Pup

This is our shaggy mutt named Donut.  He loves our cats, and usually they love him.  He's the best dog ever!

How could you not love this face!  My Mom calls him her 'luck dragon'  he reminds her of 'Falcor' on Never Ending Story.  He is great with the kids, and besides his attraction to chasing red trucks, we love him!

Here is Donut last summer, he would get so hot w/his huge coat.  Lloyd had tried to cut him with clippers, but his fur was too thick.  So we got out the scissors and cut him ourselves.  It was super choppy, but he seemed to feel better.

This year we took him to someone locally who cut him professionally and he looks like a new dog!! When Lloyd went to pick him up he wasn't sure it was our dog...lol.  Isn't he handsome?!

 

No wonder he is so fast when he chases his red trucks!  He is skinny and lean.  I always thought he was fat, but it was just his coat.  He seems so happy, but the cats do not recognize him, they've attacked him twice since he's been home.  Poor guy just wants his friends!
