1. Cooper found baby squirrel who had fallen out of a tree, eyes still shut. A quick trip to Wal-mart and $50 later we had the supplies to attempt to play Mama Squirrel and save the little guy. We now have a pet squirrel who lives part-time inside and part-time outside. Ever seen a cat and squirrel stare each other down? Come on over if you want some cheap entertainment.
2. Mommy and Cooper determine they want a new dog. Jeff tries to discourage. Mommy and Cooper went to “look” at 2 litters of baby basset hounds. Needless to say–we found one! Jeff is thrilled. Jeff has learned he has no control over me when I get on a mission. For that, I love him to the moon and back. (I think he secretly wanted another dog as bad as I did.) Introducing Goose!
3. I have taken up running. Yes, you read correctly. No, not running to the store, not running as in snot down to my chin, but running as in miles. I NEVER though I would be saying this but the plans currently are to run a full marathon out of state in the spring. Instead of flopping on the couch during the winter months I will be pounding the pavement in an attempt to get my body in shape for 26.2 miles. Over the course of the summer and fall I have thoroughly learned to love running and even coaxed my brother-in-law and good friend into running.
There will be more posts and pictures in the coming days. A vision to leave you with: A squirrel in his cage eating a peanut, a himalayan cat staring him down, a 14-week old basset puppy pursuing the cat who is staring at the squirrel, who is eating a peanut, a mommy who is trying to distract the dog from attacking the cat, who is staring at the squirrel, who is eating the . . . . oh well, you get the picture.
