Daisy Dog turned 11 years old

My Daisy turned 11 years old on Monday April 22, 2024 seems like yesterday she was just a puppy.

As she has aged her nose drys out more, she has some lumps and a few warts all this stuff is typical for aging dogs but shes still My Pretty Daisy Dog.

We have truly enjoyed her and her crazy talking personality. Lots of times you can ask her a question and she replies in dog talk its so funny.

I wanted her by the Louisiana Irises because they are so pretty right now. I had no idea a web worm was on her eye lol. She is my pretty girl and I love her very much.

Happy 11th Birthday Miss. Daisy.

The paperwhites and the cold

Every year the paperwhites bloom in mid to late January.

These bulbs belonged to my great grandmother and my grandmother had stored them for years and years. I found them onetime in a old tea kettle she had given me to paint on.

They are the prettiest little flower that brings in the new year. They bloom at a time not much else blooms it is always a nice surprise to see them pop up.

Sometimes it is in the simple things that could put a smile on your face.

Happy New Year Weekend

I can not believe we are about to enter another new year.

It will take me six months to write it right. I will get stuck in the

2023 mode.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and has a Happy New Year. Be Safe.

Livingston in the fall of 2023

When you are on a UTV you can truly experience all the pretty fall foilage down the trails.

There was just about every color made some more vibrant than others. Looking straight up in the middle of a forest of trees will make you dizzy thats for sure.

If I were younger I would have laid down on the ground to shoot these but not anymore.

Fall is a gorgeous time of the year and it really puts on a show in Livingston, Texas.

Kiwi the Conure

When our daughter Jeanelle went to work at Petsmart many years ago at the age of 16 she decided she needed a Conure.

One day she came home with this small Nanday Conure and little did we know how noisy this bird would become.

Years later she went off to college and Kiwi had to stay home with us. Over the years he had a companion Grey Bird our first cockatiel who was actually older than Kiwi he died after a few years then Lemon our second cockatiel.

Lemon and Kiwi quickly bonded as neighbor birds their cages were next to each other and looked out the front of the house towards the driveway.

All of a sudden Wednesday night I found Kiwi dead in the bottom of his cage we figured it up and he was 21 years old which is a long time for any animal. I am sure he died of old age their life expectancy is 20 – 25 years.

Since Lemon is now about 10 years old I am not starting any new bird additions youtube will have to keep him company.

The house is so quiet no squaking at the Amazon, UPS or Fed Ex trucks no advance notice of the garbage truck or mail truck or for someone approaching our yard. He was always the guard bird the first one to notice something and this would alarm the dogs and suddenly Lemon would start in and we sounded like a Zoo.

I will miss Kiwi who I have bonded with for the last 21 years even though he started out as our daughters bird.

Pet birds can bring so much joy to your life alot more than most people realize.

Cash – AKC Champion Cane Corso

Our daughter bought Cash a three year old Cane Corso Stud from a lady in Indiana a few weeks ago.

She flew there and rented a SUV to drive back with Cash so he did not get to stressed out.

Cash is very strong much to strong for me. He is like a gentle giant and very sweet. He is Cricket’s size but has much more muscle to pull you with.

His hair feels like velvet it is so soft. He is trying to get use to the temperature changes from Indiana to Texas so our photo session was short and sweet.

Today October 7th, 2023 Cash became a AKC Champion which all goes back to his previous owner who was only 1 point off of doing this before she sold him to Jeanelle.

Shady Acres Leggett is proud to add this new stud to their lineup of Cane Corso’s.

Mr. O’Malley

This little kitten ended up at our grandkids house in Livingston.

At the time he was maybe 3 weeks old our daughter took it to the vet to kind of get an estimate of his age and to get him checked out. He was full of fleas and she has not seen any fleas on their animals so they knew someone had dumped him. I have no idea how people can do this.

Now he is about 12 weeks old and hes growing so fast and they named him Mr. O’Malley because of a cat in the movie Aristocats. He is waiting to get old enough to get fixed because a few male cats show up on their property to fight him.

His best friends are 3 young dachshund puppies they play chase all the time.

He is very photogenic and very handsome.

A little rain

Our drought was really long but we got almost 3″ over the last few days.

We need about another 10″ to catch up to where we need to be.

The grass is standing up clapping, the trees are sparkling and wildlife is jumping for joy.

This is one of my little friends that comes by to eat out of the bird feeders.

I think he is young because his tail is not super bushy.

The joys the wildlife brings me makes me smile everyday.

Livingston house

The Livingston house is making progress slowly.

We have gotten ac, and insulation. A plumber is coming back out to fix some mistakes he made.

We got the septic and the well they just have to put the pump on the well but its dug 230 feet.

Sheetrockers hopefully start this week the sheetrock was delivered last week.

Our son says once the sheetrocks up, it is taped, floated, textured and painted the rest will go by quickly.

We would not have used it much this summer its been 111 there to our 108 and 109 here. Texas has been dry and hot to say the least.

As long as we get to use it this fall I will be happy.

Our daughter tells me all the time the deer are so amazing early in the morning and getting to see the babies is really special. She saw a mama deer and twins.
