Happy Day to Dads

Lexie, Duchess and I sat down, put paw to paper and came up with 10 things that makes our Pops great.
1. He plays ball with us.
2. He doesn't throw like a girl.
3. He manhandles snakes.
4. He gives us funny nicknames.
5. He tells us storms never last.
6. He picks ticks off us.
7. He puts gravy on our food.
8. He shares his sandwich meat.
9. He takes good care of our mom.
10. He loves us.

My people went to Lubback, Texas and all they brought me back were pictures of peacocks. A 10-gallon cowboy hat or belt buckle would have been nice. Don't get me wrong, peacocks are pretty. But how about a T-shirt or a coffee mug that says 'God bless Texas.' Something. Anything, but pictures. Maybe next time.

The new girl next door

We have a new dog on the block. Her name is Abby. She's a pound puppy and full of energy. Cheryl tells me I used to be that energetic when I was a pup, but this kid needs some serious Ritalin. She and Duchess get along pretty good, when Abby's still enough. We wonder if Abby is responsible for the mysterious pink slipper that found its way to the end of our driveway on Saturday? Hum?
