Happy Valentine's Ya'll! I know I haven't posted in a while, it's been a crazy and busy two weeks. Chloe and Jackie got me the cutest card for Valentine's that speaks some kind of Hot Chili Pepper song, it is so cute. It came with a box of Hershey's kisses too, how sweet!! Chloe and I got Jackie some jelly beans and we got her a bag of candy with dog toys and bones. Last week she was insistent to get the East Birdeye cousins a Valentine from her so she bought them a stuffed animal and candy.
Last Friday Kara texted me about a dog at the saw mill. The timing is good since Chance was slated to go today to his forever home. She and Whit put food out for it but it kept hiding in the bushes. Saturday on my way to work, the dog was in the nook south of the 4 way, again hiding in the bushes. It took me two long tries to catch her. She was so hungry that when she started eating the kibbles I threw to her, she would come closer. When I finally held her and put a leash on her, she FREAKED OUT!! It was like a rodeo on the side of the road, she screamed, bounced on the ground, jumped straight up in the air and it was all I could do to keep a hand on that leash. That's what dogs do when they haven't been handled or ever been on a leash. She had to ride on my lap back to our place...cracks me up! We have her vaccinated and in isolation for a week. We plan to bring her inside now that Chance is on transport to New Hampshire. It made my day, I tell you, taking Chance to Forrest City on my lunch hour, to get on the bus to his forever home.
We let Dixie in last night and gave her a bath (not much of a rodeo, I think she enjoyed the sudsing up and warm water, thank goodness) and have figured out that she's got to be related to Kara's dog Duchess who's a 7 year old Birdeye stray...marked like her and acts just like her. Submissive, sweet and quiet. If only I could get my hands on that momma dog and get her spayed...
Dixie will be ready in 3 weeks for a home, that's after her second parvo shot and spaying. She's really sweet to Biscuit, Gumball and Chloe. I've added some photos of where we've been the last two weeks, it's been so busy!

| We went on a quick overnight girls trip to St. Louis 2 weeks ago and had a great time and a fabulous, but slow, lunch at Zodiac inside Neiman's. And I bought my first pair of designer jeans with a hole in them... what was I thinking? Here's Mary Margaret Meyer, Kara, Beth Bradshaw, Ashley King and me |
 |
| On the way home from St. Louis we came across this drag race near Birdeye that I'd heard about at work...we hit it about 2 pm on Sunday. We guessed there were 75 cars there and a lot of smoke and tire screeching...hahahaha! We were totally cracking up at it! They have a link on youtube. |
 |
| Here's Chance this morning looking and listening to the card that Chloe got me...(that's a hot pepper singing...) I think it scared him to death, he wouldn't get close to it...hahahahaha!. |
 |
| Chance's ride to New Hampshire...they had quite a crew on board! |
 |
| Chance is a GREAT traveler...he doesn't whine like Biscuit and doesn't get carsick like Gumball. |
 |
| Here's the latest stray...Chloe named her Dixie...we think she's related to Kara's Duchess |
 |
| She doesn't have a blue eye, it's just the camera angle. |
 |
| It's a little blurry but here's Chance and Gumball sharing a chair last week....Gummy is a pretty good guy to all the fosters we bring in....they are so cute! |
