Hello Tuesday.. welcome

Well Hello..
Its Tuesday, which means tonight is Payslee & I's next to last Manners Class in Norman Tonight. I've been working with her on sitting for a long time all week, so we'll see if it paid off.

Geesh..Its so hot. Its impossible to be outside. Yesterday though when I came home my neighbor (the one who mows my yard for me) had taken MY hose and hooked it up to MY faucet, and was watering MY yard. Isn't that odd? I mean, if I wanted to water my yard, wouldn't I? He stopped me in the yard, and said, "I'm keeping your yard in good shape" so I was like.. Okay.. I mean I didn't really know what to say at that point..so I just let him keep watering it.. lol.. Such is life with my strange neighbors.

Today we had a visit from a new artist, His name was Easton Corbin, and he did some great stuff..Check out our youtube link if you'd like to see his latest stuff!

Haunted weekend movie fun, Iraq pics

Sawyer likes to look at himself in the mirror..He knows he's pretty.. lol

Well I hope everyone had a great weekend! My parents came up and we had a funtime. Friday we went to eat at Buddah Tao and had delicous Salmon & Sushi..Then Saturday we went to see "Transformers".. Mom & Steve were less than enthusiastic about it, but it took me back to my childhood and I kinda loved Optimus Prime..I would give it 3 out of 5 stars. It wasn't as good as the first one.

Saturday night we went to the "Haunted Restaurant".. of course we couldn't find it, and had to call..but we did enjoy the lovely German woman on the phone who gave us directions. Once we got there we were impressed. Even though its out in the middle of no where, its an awesome atmosphere. No ghosts tried to kill us or anything, but the food was divine! Plus they had those little Melba toasts, and we love those, so it was fun. I had a steak and it was delish. Next time I have to save room for the German dessert!

Saturday I thought it would be funny to put Payslee's hair in Pigtails. My dogs have now figured out what 'take a picture' means. Seriously, they do..If I ask them to jump into a chair and say "Smile for mama"..they do.. As you can see Payslee does the "Open-mouthed Oprah" smile. Its amazing what you can teach them! She knows that I want her to smile, so she always does, and its so cute! Look at her face!

Sunday we went to Sams, where I got a delicious watermelon! Finally! I never pick good ones, but this one was good. The dog babes were acting like they wanted a bite, so I gave them one, and they Loved it! Their little munching mouth sounds made me laugh, but they did love some watermelon! It was so hot we didn't do much outside, but it was a fun weekend!

A couple of weeks ago I sent some music to one of our boys fighting for us in Iraq. He was from my neck of the woods, in the Sentinel Area. His name is Adam Rogers, and I thought it would be nice to send him some cd's, and a KKNG sticker. Well he put it to good use! Thanks for the pics Adam!

No Accordion Friday

Sorry, I didn't play the accordion today..Helen was sad, but she's just too much to haul to Cattlemens, and since thats where we were, I couldn't do it. So I'll play it on Monday. I enjoyed my delicious pancakes this morning! The Breakfast is so good at Cattlmens!

Well this should be a fun weekend. Mom & Steve are coming up and we are going to go to the Haunted Restaurant. Its a steakhouse thats off by the Cowboy Museum on Mirimar Road. I've never been there, but I've had several people tell me its a neat place, so we're excited to go. They are going to go to the zoo, but I think it will be WAY to hot for my sweet self.. lol.. I'll melt.

I might go to the Movies this weekend..I need to clean house, but I'm not motivated. I took the dogs to the dog park on Tuesday night, but they didn't seem to enjoy it. There were 2 schnausers there and I guess they were playing too rough, because Payslee & Sawyer just kept running and hiding underneath a bench..They are still babies.. lol.. You guys have a great weekend!

Gophers and skating babies.

So yesterday I was napping and had a weird dream that there were 4 foot gophers in my front yard just hanging out..So Payslee went up to play with them and they started to eat her, so I went over and beat them and took her out of their mouth. Any ideas on what THAT might mean? lol..

Don't know if you saw this or not yet, but I loved this..


Tomorrow we are at Cattlemens once again for a delicious breakfast! Come on down, we'll have more 'new face show-case' tickets! Woo wee!

I had dreams about Michaell Jackson..

After watching Michael Jackson coverage for like 7 hours yesterday its no wonder that I had dreams about Michael Jackson last night! I did think his funeral was awesome though, and very tasteful. I loved all the performances and speeches. Even Al Sharpton didn't irritate me, and he usually does! I'm sad to see MJ go, but I thought his farewell was very nice.

Well Payslee & I went to "Manners Class" last night.. and she did so good that her teacher said she should already be in a more advanced class! Booya! Yup, my little angel is doing so great! We only have 2 classes left, but Pays has already learned all the commands. She will still finish the class, and then go directly into the therapy dog class, and hopefully get her therapy certification after that. I'm very proud of her for being such a good girl. Her teacher said she would make a perfect therapy dog. She is my biscuit. I've got to start working with Sawyer though. Lately he has found his 'voice' and loves to jump up and smootch me..Which is cute, but not very mannerly...so I'll have to get him onto the same page as Payslee. I'm not making Rally do any of it..I figure he is 11 years old, and has earned the right to do whatever he wants at this point!

Larry Gatlin was on the show today to talk about "Johnny Cash is dead and his house burned down".. I'll put it up on the Podcast, so if you missed it you can listen to it if you like. Have a great day!

Its Monday Dunday..

Well I had a fabulous time at the farm! It was nice to just be out there with nature, and my dog babes. Speakin of, they had so much fun racing and running with Mom's puppy, Izzy. She and Sawyer were BFF's all weekend and I swear they ran and played so much I thought their legs might fall off!

Friday I had some friends over for a BBQ and a volleyball game..However, I didn't play volleball that long because I got stuck with two 'non-athletic' types and we kept getting beat, so I had to walk away. I'm not good with losing..at anything.. ever.. lol.. Always been that way.

The Ribs, Hamburgers, and Hotdogs were amazing though, and we all had fun talking and making smores. I set off some fireworks, but they scared all 7 dogs (thats how many we have all together, mom has 4) so I had to stop shooting them off! Everyone enjoyed mom's beautiful landscaping, and the pool.. Sawyer swam a little bit, but Payslee didn't this time. Sawyer doesn't jump in, but he likes to paddle around when I go in there.. Rally had a good time running with the big dogs!

Saturday I came back to the city for a Bob Howard remote and then went to see "The Proposal" with Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. It was good, and gave me hope that at some point in my life, there might be a man who wants to marry a loud, bossy, career driven woman! Woo wee! Hope you had a safe 4th!

Gloriana at Tobys, and Manners

Well Payslee and I went to our 2nd "Manners" class, and I'm serious (and its not just because she is mine) when I say that she is one of the star-students. The other dogs jump up on people, bark, and drag their owners around, and Miss Pays does a great job staying quiet, and acting polite to everyone. This week we worked on "Leave it" and walking on a leash. Payslee did very good with both of those things. I heart her.. She's the cutest one too.. and I probably am saying that because she is mine!!

This is Payslee throwing a fit. She wants me to hold her, but she has to stay buckled in..

Last night we welcomed the band "Gloriana" to Toby Keith's. There were a billion people there, from the "Motivational" conference yesterday. I didn't get to go, but mom did and she said Steve Forbes, Colin Powell, and Rudy were the best speakers! I love Rudy! The crowd seemed to enjoy the band. They did a few covers, and a few songs off their new cd. I had some delicious catfish and chips & salsa!

Well I'm off for the rest of the week. I'm heading to the farm with all the dogs. We are having a big farm party. People will come cook out, swim, and have some ribs! I'm excited to just relax for a bit. For the past 2 days I haven't been able to rollerblade the dogs and they are driving me batty at night-time not wanting to go to bed!! GO TO BED LITTLE DOGS! But they won't.. So when we go out to the farm they play NON stop, and go right to bed at night, so I'm excited to finally sleep through the night. I tell ya, if I ever DO decide to have children I'll totally be ready for the lack of sleep! lol. .

Well I hope everyone has a great 4th of July weekend. Stay safe, and enjoy and be thankful for our freedoms!
