One More Thing

A few posts ago I mentioned that we went to the OU / OSU baseball game last Saturday, to watch the Pokes beat the Sooners, but also to watch our friend from church (who also happens to be our pastor's wife) sing the national anthem.

I'm not sure who did the marvelous camera work, but here is the youtube video. She's extremely gifted!

Night #2

Night #2 with Shadow in the house went really well. So far we've only had one accident in the house (we weren't paying attention). All the rain hasn't helped the house training, as he doesn't much care to venture into the tall wet grass to take care of business. We picked up a crate last night, and he took about a 2 hour nap in it. I expect he'll crate train with little or no problem. He hasn't eaten much since joining our family, but I expect he's still adjusting. He's drinking lots of water, however so I don't think he'll blow away anytime soon.

I'm picking up the papers from the breeder tonight so we can get Shadow registered. I was doing some research today, and this little doggie has quite a pedigree. His mom and dad are both champion show dogs, as are most of his lineage.

Diplomat's Pedigree

This link is the pedigree for Shadow's father. I'm getting the pedigree of his mother tonight and may post that as well.

New Mouth to Feed

We picked up another mouth tonight...Shadow! He is a miniature schnauzer and HE IS CUTE! He's 13 weeks old, his mom and dad are both show champions, and we're all pretty excited.

The breeder is the nicest great-grandmother you'd ever meet, and lives alone. So Shadow is going from a nice quiet life to our crazy loud house. The breeder assured us he'll adjust in a few days. For now, he's laying low :)

Week in Review

I don't know about you, but this week went REALLY FAST. Month end always means busy times at work, which makes the time fly. The monthly projections for May are pretty low right at the moment, but I'm sure the team will get it pulled out and hit the targets.

Ted and I managed to sneak out early yesterday. We went down to the Lexington WMA (wildlife management area) South of Noble, OK and tried to round up a turkey or two. I heard some hens, but no gobblers, and didn't see any. Oh well. Gonna have to get better at hunting them rascals. Which is tough given that I just don't have the time to get out every weekend and chase them. So far I'd much rather be sitting on a boat chasing smallies. No ticks. No camo. And you can talk and drink a beer if you want.

Plans for the weekend? Well, we're going to the OU / OSU baseball game at Bricktown tomorrow night. A friend from church is singing the national anthem.

Spring Has Sprung

Sorry about the delays in posting. With spring has come a new level of busy! Jonathan and Robert (he doesn't like Robby anymore) are both playing soccer. That is, when the field isn't soaked from all the rain we've had this spring. We've had a few fishing trips to Skiatook, and had a great time catching stringers full of crappie. Jonathan, Robert and I also made a trip to Murray last Saturday (see the pictures above).

A few weekends ago we made a quick trip to Lake Arcadia, which is about 2 miles from our house. We didn't catch any, but we had a good time exploring!





School lets out the end of May and the kids are ready. Frankly, I think their mom is ready too. More to come l8r!
