Meet Lily, the cardboard box killer! Lily belongs to my niece Sherri and she's a mini-dachshund. We spent a week with them in Georgia recently, and I fell in love with this little dog. Made me miss Lucy and Rosey just a little less. Lily only weighs about 6# but she's a first-class mouse hunter.

Meet Pearl, our granddog. Pearl has been staying with us for the last 16 days, 15 hours, 38 minutes.....no wait, that doesn't sound right....we LOVE having Pearl visit. Pearl stays with us when her people travel and Lucy & Rosey stay with Pearl's people when Paul and I travel. I can only assume my two dogs disrupt their house far more than having one always-hungry pug stay with us disrupts our house.

I can tell you for certain that Pearl is missing her people. They are due home soon and I have no doubt she will be doing doggy cartwheels when they come to claim her. I think Pearl is actually growing up. She really fit in quite well this time and everyone got along well.

She didn't get to meet & greet Lucy's little skunk buddy which was a good thing. One dog in the sink being de-skunked was enough, thank-you-very-much. But, I have to say honestly, if it's not edible, Pearl's not that interested. Don't think skunk could taste very good.

So this weekend we'll be saying bye-bye to Pearl. I hope she enjoyed her visit.

When in Rome Do As The Romans.......right? Well, When in Portugal, Eat as the Portuguese. And that means eat FISH FISH FISH. I was told by a few Portuguese friends that I must try grilled sardines when there. I like fish, I like to try local cuisine so when we found an outdoor restaurant in the town of Faro in the Algarve where they were grilling sardines on a big grill made out of barrels, we were in!



Never mind the look on my face, look at my plate! I did a pretty good job on them.

Poor little fishy.


Here's Pam finishing up leftovers!

Earlier this week I posted some pictures from my first trip to Italy. These are silly pictures from a trip in 2007 with my cousin Don and his wife, Chris. If Don sees these pictures here, he'll probably kill me. Too bad.

This was in St. Peter's Cathedral in Vatican City. I've heard of kissing rings but not toes.

Look who thinks he's Hercules. This is in Pompei.

In your dreams, Don. This little beauty was parked outside the restaurant we were having lunch in that day in Rome.

Oops, looks like somebody dropped something. That's Don and Paul. Must have been green-shorts-and-tan-shirt day.

Our littlest grandson, Alex, loves All Things Wheels. This first photo was taken when Paul rode up to their house with his buddies on the way to a ride somewhere. I'm not sure Alex, who seems a little beside himself as he stands there, even knew it was his grandfather in the leathers.

In this next photo, Travis is trying to be very cool, Julia is her usual smily self and Alex is still in heaven.

Here's Alex a couple years earlier in his very serious mood getting ready to cut some grass. What do you think he's got in the sippy cup?

Funny Foto Friday---Tail of a Rat Terrier

Here's something I'll call Funny Foto Friday for all you Alliteration Aficionados!

Lucy's pedigree says she's a Jack Russell Terrier. Several times I've been told she looks more like a Rat Terrier. I think they are both from the same breed or line or whatever! They are both called Earth Dogs. One look at these photos will tell you why.

Lucy looking DOWN!

"I'm gonna get that chipmunk if it's the last thing I do!"

Here she is as Super Dog!

Does this dog have a great life or what!?
