I can hear Jeff Foxworthy now....

If your two year old's favorite toy is a plastic shopping bag- you might be a redneck

If your two year old has a higher prey drive than your greyhound- you might be a redneck

Perhaps Hero would have won more races if they had the "lure" chase him. :-)

I hope I'm wrong about this, I truly do!

I woke up this morning to hear the story on the news of little Haleigh Cummings, the 5 year old Florida girl who is "missing", And I have such a bad feeling.
I do hope that this little girl just wandered off, and that she will be found safe and sound, I really do, but to tell you the truth I seriously doubt it. I guess maybe it is the fact that the Caylee Anthony story is still so fresh in my mind, but I am feeling terribly jaded. I remember when I was able to give my fellow man (or woman) the benefit of the doubt....
The story as I understand it: The girlfriend of the girl's father was in the SAME bed as the little girl and yet; someone broke into a locked door- propped it open with a brick??- and abducted the little girl without this woman ever waking up.
Really? Is ANYONE that deep a sleeper without the help of drugs or alcohol?
The police are treating it as an abduction, and they say there are "44 registered sexual offenders who live within a five-mile radius of the Cummings home".
Please join me in praying for this little girl !!!
My heart is so heavy!

The world through the eyes of a two year old.

I was downloading the pictures off of my camera, and found some pictures that I definitely don't remember taking.

It seems that Will got hold of my camera, and thus we have the photo essay "A day in the life of someone who is only 3 feet tall".

Pardon my French....

I found this cartoon, while surfing the web. I'd love to give credit where credit is due, but I really don't know where it originated! I thought about photo-shop censoring it, but to tell the truth, I think it is perfect just as is.

A brighter shade of grey...

What a Greyt day for The Meet and Greet at the Warrenton Petco! The weather could not have possibly been any better.

There were so many wonderful greyhounds...

And honorary greyhounds

And people to meet

We were especially thrilled to meet Macy, Buford, Angela, and Tracy of

Treasure What You Have

http://vagreys.blogspot.com/

Whom we have known only through their blog up until now...Thank you Angela for inviting me- it is just what I needed to lift my mood

Yup, they are just as gorgeous in real life, as they look on their blog...

Hero thought that everyone had turned out JUST to meet him...

Buford had to set him straight...

But there were no hard feelings...Alaina and Hero were the first ones to take a break...But I think Macy thought Hero's blanket looked pretty comfortable...

Hero takes a stand....

Zan suggested that I could "guest" post....
And I think now would be a good time...
My adopted "mom" ( you know- the blogging food lady) has been in a funk lately, in a "grey" mood- but not grey in a good way (as in greyhound).
I don't know if it is because of the weather (it has been really cold lately , so cold that no one wants to spend anytime outside.- And the weatherman is not helping- constantly teasing my family, predicting- "passing flurries" but no flurries come to pass),
Maybe it is the country's current economic state- (and all the reports coming to light that Obama's nominees have not been playing, or more accurately "paying", by that same rules as the rest of us),
maybe it is the plethora of nasty viruses that are making everyone feel - blue, or green, anything but in the pink.

*** OR maybe it is because someone sent "Addie" to that terrible office place, from which she has been unable to post in over a week. And now Katy is retiring "Needle Noses". Oh, the humanity! My mom needs a large dose of vitamin "S" (for smiles). I must do something- I must take this into my own paws

I feel I must take a stand!!!

Well, I was planning to take a stand- but I kind of dozed off.....
I mean well....

Everyone's a critic

Hero now believes that he must proof read all my posts to make sure that I am not blogging about anything that he might find insulting or embarrassing.
I am currently cleaning the nose prints off my computer screen.
