Patches Pals in Beagleland!

A thought for Thursday!

noreply@blogger.com (Kindhart) — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 20:45:00 +0000

This is the governments cost saving idea, a new kind of Border Patrol!

If you thought that it was cold outside!

This is the dangers of having a male dog, LOL!

The Beagles Chirstmas tree!

noreply@blogger.com (Kindhart) — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 18:44:00 +0000

Well the beagles have their own tree this year. This little tree was a Earth Day gift from The Boeing Company. We decided to decorate it for the dogs. It's planted in a whiskey barrel on the deck, next to the hot tub. You can see from the photo's it didn't take them long to snoop it out!

Lakewood Officer Memorial.

noreply@blogger.com (Kindhart) — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 21:06:00 +0000

This is the day that the public, police officers, public officials and families of Sgt. Mark Renninger, 39, Ronald Owens, 37, Tina Griswold, 40, and Greg Richards, 42 honor their memories at the Tacoma Dome. We have to stand up and make a difference. I pray for the families and fellow officers to have the courage to push on. Thank you officer Renninger, Owens, Griswold and Richards for your service. You will be missed!

It's cold but I'm ready for bed!!!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Kindhart) — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 04:40:00 +0000

It's super cold outside and the beagles are resisting the idea that they need to go out before bed. Lucy stuck her nose out the slider and then ran back in the living room. Needless to say I had to kick them out for awhile, so they can do their business, if you know what I mean. If you click on the photo, it will take you to the Flickr site that owns this great photo, please do.

Flash Back Friday!!

noreply@blogger.com (Kindhart) — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 04:58:00 +0000

Hey, this is the 12 cars pit crew in 1974. You can tell that their having a great time. Where did the time go. I remember going to the speedway as a family and spending the time together. I think that's why the Patches Pals trips means so much to me, the fishing trips, Dirt track races, watching the kid race and just spending time with my family.

If you have a beagle, you know what I'm talkn about!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Kindhart) — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 05:42:00 +0000

Ok, It's around 5:00 am and you feel hot breath on your face. You open your eyes and things are still not in focus and this is what you see. It's a three year old, thinking she is starving. You tell her to go back to sleep and then you feel a cold nose pushing on your cheek. You open your eyes and this is what you see! If you have a beagle, you know what I'm talking about! "Get out of bed and feed me!"

Monte

Lazy dogs!

noreply@blogger.com (Kindhart) — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 05:52:00 +0000

Lucy has really taken to her new bed and has a strong dislike to being moved once she has fallen asleep. Needless to say she is getting schooled on this and we are working on "who's the boss." Bailey loves hers too, I'm still working on getting a photo of her sleeping.

Later, Monte

Stuffed Beagles!

noreply@blogger.com (Kindhart) — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 05:48:00 +0000

Hey, Thanksgiving was very relaxing. It was just the four of us and the dogs. The turkey, mashed potato's, stuffing and desserts were all great. All I have to do know is the dishes. The dogs were begging to lick all the plates, like they need that! Everyone took a nap and then we had some cake. I love Thanksgiving, don't you!

Monte

This dog is not crazy!!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Kindhart) — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:40:00 +0000

The paranormal, do you believe in it? For those who know me, know that I believe. This dog is so much like my beloved Casey, that I know that she was my protector. The beagles are not a sensitive and she was ,but they stand guard over me in the night. Please don't judge people on their life experiences, someday YOU might need someone to believe you when the time comes.

Monte

New beds for the Girls!!

noreply@blogger.com (Kindhart) — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:24:00 +0000

The beagles got their new beds and they love them. Thanks to EBay I picked these up for $20 each. If you have ever bought anything for your pet you know how much things can cost. My hope is that they will get to the point that they well want to sleep in them without being pushed too. So when we go in the RV they will sleep in their bed and not with, I mean on me! Just about a half hour ago I had to break them up, they were having a sister fight(that a lot of noise and not much of a chance of them getting hurt)

Until tomorrow, Monte

Where's the light! Where's the light!

noreply@blogger.com (Kindhart) — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:14:00 +0000

I found a Lazar pointer that I used to play with Casey and introduced it the Beagles. They went CRAZY over this thing. It's so funny because beagles want to smell everything and the Lazar light has no scent. So, you play with for a while and the will look for the light by sniffing for around a hour. This keeps them busy and feeling like real hunters, LOL!

Monte

Lights Out!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Kindhart) — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 18:25:00 +0000

Well I was watching a celebrity ghost story on TV last night and the actress that played Blanch on "The Golden Girls" was telling her story. She got to the part that she asked her long time friend, that was dieing to contact her by using electricity. Just then my lights in my house went out! Oh, did I tell you that we were having a strong wind and rain storm also last night. So, I made my way into the bedroom walk in closet to retrieve the flash light and why it was in there I couldn't tell you. I gathered up the two beagles and made my way to the bedroom at 8:45pm. No TV, no Computer, no Mp3 player, no DVD movie, what the hell am I doing to do? What any one would do, I picked up the Cell phone and played games until I was tired. The beagles were asleep in about three minutes.
Monte

Take the Time!

noreply@blogger.com (Kindhart) — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 17:07:00 +0000

I thank you my defenders of the U.S.A. To those who served to protect our right to live in a land that's free. To those who gave their family members for my freedom I thank you! This is our land, this is your land and it's the land of the FREE! I say "THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU"

Boeing takes a walk again!!!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Kindhart) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 03:58:00 +0000

Once again Boeing screws the people in the northwest. They blame others to make themselfs look good. Here is a email form the I.A.M:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: October 28, 2009

Statement of District President Tom Wroblewski in Response to Second 787 Line Announcement

October 28, 2009 – “Boeing has betrayed our loyalty once again, walking away from our discussions just like they walked away from Seattle eight years ago to move to Chicago. We tried very hard to reach an extended agreement with Boeing. We listened closely to what executives said, and suggested ideas to meet their needs. We offered concrete, real-world solutions. But I can tell you now, no matter what Boeing says or implies, the truth is this: We did offer Boeing a 10-year contract, and even offered to go longer than that. And when we did, they seemed stunned, and stopped talking. It was obvious to me that Boeing wasn’t really interested in working with us. They didn’t take our proposals seriously and they never offered any proposals of their own. Most of the time, they didn’t even take notes. It’s now clear that Boeing was only using our talks as a smoke screen, and as a bargaining chip to extort a bigger tax handout from South Carolina. I haven’t reported this before – not to our members and certainly not to the media -- because Boeing had asked for confidential talks. My word means something, so I said nothing, even while the company was leaking half-truths to reporters. When our team asked Boeing if 10 years was going to be enough for them, they didn’t respond. And when I asked them to confirm that the extended contract would secure the second 787 line for Washington state, their reply was only: “Well, it would be helpful.” But they would not commit to anything. Still, we tried to get a deal, because I know that’s what our members and our community wanted. To do that, we were willing to discuss any issue to get a deal that we could recommend to our members. We floated ideas on health care costs, wages, pensions and lump sums. None of this mattered to Boeing. They didn’t want solutions, but only a scapegoat. Our seven-week strike last year is not the reason the 787 is already more than 120 weeks behind schedule. Instead of investing in our shared future and a highly talented workforce and a region ideally suited for aerospace, Boeing has decided to double-down on its failed 787 strategy and place an ill-advised, billion-dollar bet on a strategy that’s a proven loser.”

Fix'n and swap'n!

noreply@blogger.com (Kindhart) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 02:17:00 +0000

Just finished swapping out the radios in the motor home's. I finished cleaning out the old one and just need to vacuum. I am going to post it on Craig's List on Monday and I hope that i can weed through the basket cases that will be calling. I pray that I can sell it fast and get it out of my drive way. I am looking toward the races and having the room to move around without tripping all over the baggage that is on the floor.

Well until later, Monte

Is this You?

noreply@blogger.com (Kindhart) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 15:31:00 +0000

Hey everyone just wanted to let you know that I'm still here. I have been a little busy, sick and just a little lazy. I have been cleaning up the old RV to sell and the city is putting in new sidewalks on my street. The beagles have been sounding the alarm every morning around sevenish. I thought I would start your weekend off with a little humor and hopefully make you laugh.

Till tomorrow, Monte

What will I be on Halloween?

noreply@blogger.com (Kindhart) — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 03:11:00 +0000

I have not come up with a costume for the beagles yet. I think the hot dog costume will not fit them now. I guess I'll have to make a trip to the pet store and see what I find. You ask, "Why do you dress them up?" Well they love to greet the kids that come to the door on Halloween night.

Later, Monte

Our New Ride!!!!!!!!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Kindhart) — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 04:39:00 +0000

Well Patches Pals this is our new motor home. We made a great offer and got it for about half of what it's valued. Now it's time to sell the our old one, so if anyone knows of someone looking let us know.We are really excited about the summer that coming up and the places that we can take pops. I can't believe all the storage in this motor home. The beagles just LOVE the windows. More post and photo's to come.

Monte

Ooooooooooh I Feeeel Craaaaapyyy!

noreply@blogger.com (Kindhart) — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 02:40:00 +0000

Well, I feel a little better today. Headache, soar throat, body ache and fever. Oh, we had KFC yesterday and lets say I'm eating there anytime soon.
Well for now, Monte

I have been Wii'd!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Kindhart) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 19:38:00 +0000

Well, I broke down and bought me a Wii. I guess I still have some kid left in me yet. I keep telling myself that it will be good exercise. I have been thinking, "should I buy a Wii fit?" I feel so empowered, LOL!

Happy Wii to you, Monte

noreply@blogger.com (Kindhart) — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 22:12:00 +0000

Just watch and be AMAZED by this loving dog and the determination of this kind woman.

Thinking, thinking and thoughts!

noreply@blogger.com (Kindhart) — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 02:04:00 +0000

In the last few days I've been thinking about what I want to be, I'm over 40, just recieved a medical layoff and starting a new chapter in my life. Do I, should I, What I or maybe I? Man, my head is spinning. I think I need a vacation. I look around at all the things that need to be done at home and then at dad's house, who can go on a vacation. The Nascar and Mariners season's are coming to the end, this is called "The Dead Time." Well that's all for now, Monte

Young Family caught in time!

noreply@blogger.com (Kindhart) — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 01:20:00 +0000

I was given this photo by a family member on my first trip to Spokane and Montana. I believe this was on my grandparents 35th anniversary. L to R: Back row is Noma Chadwick, Terry Young, Eddie "Pug" Young, Jerry Young, Burdette "Buck" Young, Darrell Young and Beverly Pogue. Front row: Cody & Sylvia Young. Missing is Jack Young. I really miss the family that is no longer with us, but we know they are looking over us.

Seahawks and Kasey Kahne!

noreply@blogger.com (Kindhart) — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 02:37:00 +0000

Well the Seahawks needs to regroup for next week. I hope they work on their pass protection and running defense, they sucked! I still think if they can get healthy and stay that way they have a chance.

Well as for Kasey Kahne, he didn't have the day he wanted. His engine didn't want to race, it BLEW UP! My fantasy picks sucked also. I must rethink my picks for next week.

For now, Monte.
