'Twas A Fortnight Before Christmas.....

And all through the apartment
Not a creature was stirring, not even Blackie;
The stockings were hung by the window with care,


In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The lights were nestled all snug on the porch,



While visions of Christmas danced in our heads

Blackie's Long Lost Brother, Falkor

We've decided Blackie's long lost brother, or maybe a distant cousin is Falkor, the luckdragon, from The Neverending Story.

I wonder if we can teach him to fly.....

Dude, Brandy, Jamie (and myself) with Santa

I went to my Mom's today to do laundry but before doing so I took Blackie up to PetSmart to get his picture taken with Santa (see post below). He was such a good boy and we were the first photo of the day! A lot of the dogs were terrified of Santa but Blackie just jumped in his lap and looked at the camera. Such a good boy.

Mom loved to idea of pictures with Santa so we decided to take all three of her pups up to her local PetSmart to get their pictures taken. Easier said than done. With all three dogs riling each other up it was not an easy trip to say the least.

Since they were a little antsy we decided to get separate pictures of them with Santa. Dude was a good boy and Santa really took a liking to him; maybe he'll get extra goodies in his stocking this year. Brandy was good as well, she hoped on Santa's lap, licked his nose and then pulled his beard down with her teeth, however, Santa's little helper taking her picture was not very technologically savvy and had a little trouble with the camera. And Jamie, well she was the hardest. She's tiny so when she squirms she tends to wiggle loose (which reminds me of when we first got her she wiggled her way out of my arms and hit her head on the floor..... which explains a lot :p ) so Santa couldn't keep hold of her. I had to hop in the picture to calm her down so she would sit still.

For some reason my internet is being incredibly slow and not uploading the pictures. But I will be sure to post them at a later date.

One More Win Closer To The Bowl!!

Nov. 28, 2009

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) -- Montario Hardesty ran for three touchdowns, including a 20-yard game winner in overtime, as Tennessee outlasted Kentucky 30-24 on Saturday night, the Volunteers' 25th straight victory against their border rivals.

Hardesty, who also ran for a career-high 179 yards, scampered up the middle for the final score after Kentucky's Lones Seiber missed a 49-yard field goal in the Wildcats' overtime chance.

Tennessee (7-5, 4-4 Southeastern Conference) made sure its streak of dominance over Kentucky (7-5, 3-5) didn't end in coach Lane Kiffin's first year on the job. The win also likely locked up a New Year's Day bowl for the Volunteers and clinched second place behind Florida in the SEC East.

Kentucky forced overtime on a 33-yard field goal by Seiber, set up when Ashton Cobb knocked the ball out of the hands of Luke Stocker following a completion and the Wildcats recovered.

Our First Halloween

Our First Halloween! Blackie dressed up as a "Bad Doggie" so that he could be something completely out of the ordinary.

Once Anthony got home from work we had a late night movie night with lots of Halloween treats!

Overall, it was spectacular.

This little piggy went to market, this little piggy went to work and THIS little piggy ended up in urgent care


Ok, so here's the dealio. I'm at work, trying to get shoes for a customer, while reaching for the shoes I had to step over a bunch of boxes of Apparels freight. I hop over one, balance myself while I grab the shoes, hop back over and boom my ankle twisted, pops and snaps into a 90 degree angle. I collapse to the floor and the rest is history. I've been in and out of 2 different doctor's urgent care offices today,  in and out of two boots (one you see above, the other a big massive granny black boot which I refuse to post because it's so embarrassing) and on crutches. Needless to say it's a type two sprain (torn ligaments and tendons) which will take 6 - 8 weeks to heel.

I really hope that man bought those shoes.
