Here is a direct link to the puppies: http://www.azbarc.com/dogs.html

We will have them for at least 2 more weeks - they will be 9 weeks old at that time. Possibly longer depending on availability of foster homes or adoptions. They are an immense amount of work - haven't read a book in 3 weeks! They are adorable and wonderful and I love them to pieces. :-D

I am not going to be able to be at the book club next Sat - famiy commitment. If there is no one willing to lead (and you know there is really no effort involved:) Jennifer will have to cancel the club meeting for Oct.

So far no one has volunteered. ?????

Lindy :-D

How are all your projects coming? I know you had talked about managing some gray water and an outdoor shower.

I have been absolutley drowning in new requirements from ADE (AZ Dept. of Ed). They have a whole new raft of requirements for ELL (Eng. Lang. Learners) kids and everything must be documented. I haven't been able to knit or read for pleasure. On top of everything else my husband found a homeless, abused, pregnant female Beagle mix wandering alone in the heat, starving, dehydrated on the Salome Rd. which means there is absolutely nothing but dry desert for miles. He brought her home. This was 8 days ago. Since then we have had a bit over $200 in vet bills and 9 puppies - down to 7 as she lost 2). I named her Molly the instant I saw her. She is the sweetest most loving thing imaginable (except for Daisy:). We have had very little sleep since her arrival. She is housebroken which is a huge plus and has not chewed up anything at all (knock on wood). She totally ignores the cats and gets along well with Daisy. We will keep her - already told her she has a forever home and we love her. Pictures as soon as I have time to download them.

How did the session go? I'm really curious about people's reaction to that book. Did everyone bring food to share?

Actually, I have always used the same low-pastuerized milk. Where were you able to get raw milk - I would love to be able to get it?

Looking forward to seeing you Sat.

Thanks for your doggie's names. Daisy would adore playing with them if it wasn't so far. Daisy loves - LOVES - having doggy friends. We need to get a friend for her but want to wait to adopt again until after we move next summer (assuming our house sells).

Yes, even our vet said, "It was meant to be" speaking of Doug showng up at the exact moment he did otherwise she probably would have been hit again - and after we had lost Abbey. Abbey was the type of dog who would not allow any other animal to even come into our yard. If she had still been alive she never would have allowed Daisy into our lives.

I think you'll like Ravelry but it does take up a lot of time to keep up with it - I only check it out about once a week if that. I can't remember if my name on Ravelry is Lindy or turtlewoman? :-D

At 4:40pm on July 14th, 2008, Lindy Ross Barnes said…: Judy, By any chance are you on Ravelry?

Actually, my husband found Daisy. She had been hit by a car and left out on the highway. She was trying to claw her way off the road (broken pelvis) when Doug saw her. He stopped out in the middle of 4-lane Hwy. 60, scooped her off the pavement and took her immediately to our vet in Wickenburg. We had just (2 weeks earlier) lost our 12 1/2 year old Abbey to cancer and were not ready for another dog. However, destiny intervened and we picked Daisy up from our vets 11 days later. When Doug found her she had been a homeless street puppy (vet said she was about 6 mos. old), starving, emaciated, filthy. It took her a long time to understand that she had a forever home and that no one was ever going to treat her badly again. She still hates loud noises of any kind and it has taken her the 2 1/2 years she has been with us to get used to riding in a car without fear. She still doesn't like it much but will go for a ride without a fuss. She acquired her name during her 11 day stay at the vet's - the girls who took care of her named her and we kept it.

You're right - your white dog does have cattle dog ears. Your pit is really handsome.

At 11:27am on July 14th, 2008, Lindy Ross Barnes said…: Hi Judy, How 'bout a larger pic. of your 4-legged children :). My girl, Daisy Mae, is possibly part Pit Bull but we'll never know for sure as she was a rescue from the streets. She is the sweetest thing in the whole world :-D. She doesn't have any of the typical pit characteristics so well described by Emily except for the knock-me-down greeting.

I look forward to seeing you at the next book gathering.

Yes, the Doze is a LARGE pitbull, with all the wonderful bully characteristics pit parents love - you know, hyperactive table clearing tails, exuberant knock-you-down greetings, enthusiastic licking of hands, feet, legs, and faces, snoring, belching, and (ahem) farting. Oh well, we love him anyway.
