The democratic parties mascot is a donkey....that makes sense!!!

I'm not really sure what has come over me! I have become a talk radio junkie. I only listen to the consevative side which makes me kinda biased. I have formed strong opinions concerning the upcoming election. Its all very weird, because I hate politics!

Poor, busted up Jake!

Our Jake loves football! He thinks its great to make a big tackle. As opposed to last year; Don't hit me, don't hurt me, and I'm probably going to stay on the line far away from the coach. Well, the 7th grade Beaver team played Millard (which is in Fillmore). In the 4th quarter, Jake went for the tackle. He ended up on the ground and got stepped on by a guy on the other team. He didn't play the rest of the game much. But they did win! On the way home, you'd have thought he was dying! He's usually not a whimpy kid, so we knew he was broken. We took him to the emergency room and sure enough the x-ray revealed a break on his left hand. He hates his cast, but only has to wear it for a month.

Our not-so-new puppy, "Roxy"

Roxy Elieson was born to Gizmo the St. Bernard and his wife the black lab. They were the proud parents of 10 puppies. 2 are brown (like Rozy), one is a beautiful cream color and the rest are black. Unfortunately, the puppies contracted parvo. I only know that its a virus and can live for seven years in the lawn or where ever. The puppies were sick for a few days and one puppy died. For some strange reason we allow Roxy to be an inside dog when we're home; even when she relieves herself on the carpet. We love her even though she behaves like a typical puppy. Here she is having a most-hated bath.
