Week Update

Kellie and Chris are still trying to decide if they are the proud owners of a 2nd beagle or if they are just foster parents. They talked to Beagle Rescue this week and are thinking, although Pepper and Pogo are getting along well, they may not be ready to have two dogs.

Katie left for El Paso, Texas Thursday morning. Last night they played UTEP and lost 1-2. Katie made 10 saves and kept them in the game. She's playing her very best, but can't save 'em all. The opposing teams always make mention of Katie in their game reviews. Here's the latest: http://utepathletics.cstv.com/sports/w-soccer/recaps/092509aaa.html This morning they are off to Colorado Springs. They will be playing Colorado College tomorrow afternoon.

We had so much rain this week! Here's a picture as one of the many storms blew by.

We're struggling a bit with Josie. She's such a good dog, except that she has accidents in the house or on the patio. Any suggestions?

Today is a bright, shiney day here in Oklahoma and I'm gonna enjoy it!

Enough Already!

The rain was back today with a vengence. We have had several inches of rain and it's still coming down. We had a little break at sunset which produced a beautiful rainbow to the east. The picture doesn't show it well, but it was pretty for a couple minutes.

Our pool is filled to the tippy top. A new table I bought this summer flipped in the storm and the tiles smashed. You can see that one of the chairs ended up in the pool.

The sun peaked out for a few minutes before the rain started up again. No golfers this afternoon, that's for sure.

I hear Wisconsin is having a drought. Hopefully some of this rain will head up that way.

Meet Pepper

This is Pepper. Kellie & Chris rescued her from the dog pound yesterday. They aren't sure if they are going to keep her or just foster her until they find a good home for her. It all depends on how Pogo adjusts to having another beagle in the house.

She's very sweet and well behaved.

Pogo and Pepper had a lot of fun wrestling around and running together.


Josie was wondering: "Why are these dogs here and when are they leaving!"

If you know anyone who might be interested in a sweet beagle, let me know.

Official Record So Far 1-1-1

Last night we watched some exciting TU soccer. They played the University of Arkansas and ended up in a 0-0 tie after double overtime. Katie played great! Here's a little story that was on the Arkansas website that mentions Katie a few times. Check it out:

On the homefront, the new dog is officially "Josie." We all went round and round and couldn't agree on a name. Finally, after considering a whole lot of options, we decided she would be Josie. She went to our vet for the first time today and they all loved her. They were excited to see a brown Boston Terrier, which apparently is a bit unusual. We LOVE her too!

Rosie, Boston, Gizmo, Brewster, Spike????

Hello, my name is ???

We're not sure what we are going to call her yet.

Last night we got a new dog. She was rescued from the dog pound by a Boston Terrier rescue group and we adopted her from them.

Tonight Katie made a quick trip home with VJ and Maddie

to meet our new addition.

Kellie, Chris and Pogo stopped by too

(before I got my camera out).

She is adorable!

and already feeling very much at home.


I have to work on getting a smiling picture next.
She may not look like it, but she's really happy and smiley.

Oh Happy Day!

It's been a long six months, but yesterday Drew finally had his last chemo therapy treatment. His is now officially a survivor. He's free until October 2nd, when he will go back to the oncologist for more scans (CT & PET). After that he will go back every few months for a year for chest x-rays to make sure everything still looks good. Kellie and Chris came over last night to celebrate with us. Drew laid in the hammock on the patio feeling awful, so it wasn't very festive, but it was defintely a HAPPY DAY! We're gonna try to celebrate again tonight. Hopefully he'll be feeling better.
