Thanksgiving Winter Wonderland November 30, 2008

Filed under: Animals,Nature,Sophie,Travel — 6:18 pm

Friday, after Thanksgiving, this is what I woke up to on the Doll Farm (my parent’s house).  It snowed the perfect amount on the perfect day.  It was absolutely beautiful!

Here is a view of my dad’s farm from our house.

Sophie LOVES the farm.  Did I mention Sophie LOVES the farm???

Sophie was like a flash of lightening!

There are more pictures to come.  I could have dropped the camera and it would have been a good picture….except trying to catch Sophie.  That was quite a challenge.

 
 

Sophie Picture November 20, 2008

Filed under: Animals,Sophie — 8:00 am

I haven’t posted Sophie pictures in awhile!

This is what Sophie does if she has done something bad.  If we get home and she is laying on the floor like this instead of greeting us at the stairs…she has torn up a Kleenex.  She just really can’t help herself when it comes to those Kleenexes.  Poor Sophie…we don’t even have to punish her.  She has a self-punishing command!

On a lighter note….here is Sophie with her hoodie:

She thinks she is really cool….

Actually, she thinks she has a really mean mommy for making her wear this….

It is ok as I long as she is getting her belly rubbed….

And remember…no Kleenexes for Sophie….

 
 

My Opossum Encounter October 22, 2008

Filed under: Animals,Nature — 8:00 am

We have been having the prettiest days this Fall so far.  The prayer gardens at Oral Roberts University are just beautiful.  To get a little quiet time, I went out to the prayer gardens recently to sit and relax.  I heard something behind me, so I turned around and there was a little animal walking around behind me.  At first, I thought it was a rat because of its long tail.  After closer observation, I decided it must be a baby opossum.

Do you see it??  My i-phone doesn’t zoom, so this is the best picture I could get…   :(   I sure wish my i-phone had a zoom.  On the other hand, this is a great picture considereing it was snapped from a phone.

Doesn’t it have a long tail??

 
 

Puppysitting September 29, 2008

Filed under: Animals,Friends,Sophie — 4:59 pm

Our friends have the most adorable new little Pomeranian puppy named Lea.  We get to puppysit on weekends while they go to the OSU games.  She got tired while she was here last time and walked into Sophie’s kennel and laid down for a nap.  Sophie, in turn, climbed into Lea’s bed.  How cute is that??
