Stop naming NUTS!

(hehe, this line was SO funny from the movie "Best in Show"--great movie but rated PG-13 :/ The movie is a mockumentary about a dog show. But Harlan Pepper, the guy in the photo and with the quote, is from Pinenut, North Carolina--and boy, does he have the southern accent in the movie! His bloodhound's name is Hubert. A little humour to lighten anyone's day...)

"I used to be able to name every nut that there was. And it used to drive my mother crazy, because she used to say, "Harlan Pepper, if you don't stop naming nuts," and the joke was that we lived in Pine Nut, and I think that's what put it in my mind at that point. So she would hear me in the other room, and she'd just start yelling. I'd say, "Peanut. Hazelnut. Cashew nut. Macadamia nut." That was the one that would send her into going crazy. She'd say, "Would you stop naming nuts!" And Hubert used to be able to make the sound, he couldn't talk, but he'd go "rrrawr rrawr" and that sounded like Macadamia nut. Pine nut, which is a nut, but it's also the name of a town. Pistachio nut. Red pistachio nut. Natural, all natural white pistachio nut." -Harlan Pepper

Sleeping Bostons

I made it! I tripped over the wire connecting my laptop to the wall and nearly did a faceplant, but I'm back!
Now we have an edition of: Sleeping Bostons! Rather, that is: Snoring Bostons.

These are round 1 of the 200 photos I took of Jackson (BT puppy) and Lolly (adult with pointy nose) and of course, Otis (my BT, the BIG guy:D). Jackson and Lolly are friend's bostons who came to stay with us for the weekend--the house was amazingly fun insanity with 3 hyper bostons running around! At one point the UPS man came, I was trying to hold squirming Jackson, Otis was running around outside and jumping on him, and Lolly was barking and jumping up and down--I think we scared him away:P

#1: This is Jackson, sound asleep--he's so funny and looks exactly like Otis!:D



#2: This is Otis--he loves the sun and fits right into a square


#3 Aww--Otis and Jackson--big and little:D


#4 Puppy paws! This is Jackson:)


#5 Miss Lolly, sleeping with dignity on the couch.

The Return of the Blogger!

I am BACK!
I totally forgot my password and everything to this and had to create a new Cantering On--haven't updated that one either:P But then what do you know, I forgot password and ALL the info for that, so I'm back!

I'm working on Best Hoof Forward right now--trying to decide what to work on today. The forum is almost done, but we still need showing, a vet, farrier, shops, tack, etc., the list goes on and on.

I've got a bunch of new photos, not going to post them all in one sitting but here are a few very recent ones! Last weekend we had two Boston Terriers (puppy and adult) over and with three in the house it was insane FUN! Uploading those soon.


I look like SUCH a geek in this one!!


Day at the beach here in the OBX!:P


Caroline, ready to sail the high seas!



Arrg! Its a pirates life for me!




Those were all taken at the museum in Festival park here on Roanoke Island--wayyy too much fun dressing up!

New blog

I finally got this up and running once again. Soon I'll post pics and all but I've got to go.
I'll put up some pics with me and Cody in a riding lesson last week as well as Maggie the dog and her cat, and Bonita, my horse.
