Flashback Friday!

This was Sparky, he was a gift from my uncle Jack for my birthday. This little dog loved to sit up like this for hours looking out the front door. He also sat up like this while ridding in my parents yellow 1974 Beetle.
He also loved the time we spent a Lake Tapps in the summer. Here he is catching some shade on the dock or he is looking at the neighbors sexy bulldogs, LOL!

His baby photo!


He loved that green shag carpet, I think he thought it was grass!



Begging for Christmas gifts!

Look at this face!

This the face that was looking at me while I was eating this week, while I was at the Oregon coast! She just stares at me with those big brown eyes!
Finally she get to do the dishes, it saves me the hot water, LOL! Just kidding, I still had to put the dishes away! It wouldn't be camping without having the dogs lick the bowls and forks/spoons! I know some of you might gag, but get over it!

FaceBook and Blogging




I was on Face book today and was reading what my face book friends and family had posted. Most of them are a great read or just a quick comment. I ran across a comment on a post that I just love, it was posted by a friend of my aunt and uncle's. It read...............................
Take your passion that you have and pick out something extremely positive to post. Find someone or something so positive and amazing that you can give a shout out to greatness. If you are going to tell me that there isn't much positive in this world to comment on, then I will be disappointed. You have God in your heart. He would want you to use your charisma and passion to point out all the good and amazing things in this world. Come on brother! Use your platform in a good way! Go see the movie Blindside...go read the Left Behind series....find someone who is making a difference, then make one yourself!

Thanks for the positive post, Jennifer Kirkham Ray

Set you dishwasher on sanitize!

I was loading the dishwasher and I looked over to see Lucy licking the plates off. I asked myself "Self why did I spend close to $1000.00 for a new dishwasher when the dogs could have done the job, LOL? Folks that's why I use the "Sanitize" setting on my dishwasher! It doesn't matter how many times I chase them out of the kitchen, as soon as I turn my back, there they are licking something in that dishwasher. Sometime I think there was gold in there or a bone!!!!!!!
*This was a photo from google and not Lucy or Bailey. They look just like that when they are in the dishwasher.

Mom, thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, with which I'll never part. God has you in His keeping, I have you in m...y h......eart.

Facebook, What do your kids do to get your attention?

Well we had a little problem with a rats that came from the old neighbor's. They were renters in the house behind us. They didn't believe in putting their trash out for the garbage man, so they just put it in the side yard. Well that's a RAT magnet. That was three years ago and we have been frighting those little buggers all that time in my out buildings. I think they have met their match. Lucy the rat beagle!

This is what I was blessed with tonight while I was on Facebook, a big, very dead rat and to think I bought those sticky traps! Who needs them now!

Great Job Kasey


Great job in Duel #2, that were we like to see him in Victory Lane.

Keep up the great racing!!!!

Spoiled hound!

Lucy was sleeping next to me shivering, so I took Steve's jacket and covered her up. "Spoiled you say," you bet and so is Bailey 100% spoiled.

Monday, January 25, 2010

Oh quit already!

This is a every night occurrence. Both of the beagles love to track this little shit all over the backyard. If you have ever had a hound you know that they do not give up, they are locked and loaded. I had to start letting them out with their Bark collars on. I have not been feeling well and this kind of stuff tic's me off. I do love my girls and am proud that they have their instincts still. Getting the motor home ready for summer and can't wait for summer.

Later, Monte

The stewey effect!

Dad, dad, dad, daddy, daddy, daddy, father................ This is every morning around 5:00 am! She wants FOOD! Lucy is not effected by Bailey's begging and whining. I hope that some day she will start wanting her food at maybe 6:00 or 7:00 am instead.

It's a RED Christmas????

This is Kaylyn she is four and she was in charge of the photo taking. All photo's here were taken by little Kaylyn.






The beagle's got into a fight and had blood all over the place. It took me over an hour to get Bailey's ear to stop bleeding. Then I had to clean up all the mess and Steve cleaned up the carpet. All this was all over a piece of pizza crust, CRUST!! All in all the girls, Logan little one's had a great time opening their gifts. We have three more of these events planned, hopefully no more fighting!!!!!!!!!!!!


HEE Haa, Monte

The Beagles Chirstmas tree!


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.



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!!!!!

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!!


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!!!

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!"

Lazy dogs!

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.

Stuffed Beagles!

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!

This dog is not crazy!!!!



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.

New beds for the Girls!!


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!


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!
