Flooded Creek

It was such an unusually nice day yesterday for April that I decided to take Benelli out. I stopped at a park not too far from us that is next to a creek. Due to some late snow storms and rain in the state earlier this month, we had flooding all around us and this park/creek was affected. Here are a few pics I took while I was there.

These steps should not be covered in water

Branches and parts of logs everywhere

Car Show

Recently, my sister’s boyfriend’s dad found out that he has cancer. To help with costs, they put on a fundraising car show about a week and half ago. Here are some of the shots I took and none have been edited (other than cropping) except one picture. I know what you’re thinking, how random this is to put up a post like this.

‘Really, cars? Where are pics of puppies?’

But cars are part of my childhood. In the summer I grew up traveling different states and going to car shows while my friends stayed home and played with their friends. I might have complained when I was younger but now am thankful for the memories I have.

I hope you enjoy the pictures!

This is a 1972 Ford pickup. Well, that is what the owner claimed based on the engine he used. Everything is made from wood (except tires, windshield, etc). It was pretty unique!

No glass for windows on doors, so hopefully you like breezy rides! 🙂

Yes, even the foot pedals were made of wood

Feelin’ gooooooood

It seems ever since I posted that I was going to work more on blogging, my life has been super busy. But that always seems to always happen, right? I had a handful of errands to run almost every day of the week and not only that but I felt GOOD. Occasionally something would pop up with my health to which I would get some rest, but the next day I would get up and be productive once again. I was so productive that I began to question it since that rarely happens in my life. Normally because of my fatigue, it can take some time to finally perform a full task. I usually do a little at a time and divide that time up between days. I’m not lazy, the act just exhausts me. So either it’s the nice weather, or the fact that I admitted to the world that I was going to work harder, I am happy that I am getting things done. 🙂

When going on errands (and if the weather is decent), I try to bring Storm with me. Not only does it get her out of the house, but it helps wear her out (hahaha!). She sits in the front passenger seat and quietly waits for me to return. People usually walk by and laugh as she sits like a human just chillin’. If I get an extra burst of energy I will stop by a park so she can get out of the cramped car and check out unfamiliar smells. One day, I stopped a bike trail location that had a bridge and took a couple pictures of her. I want to stop by again in a few months when there is more green showing, center the picture a more to my liking and take off her leash. I’m impressed she did well with these shots as there was a nearby runner she was trying to say hello to.

So yeah that’s it. Nothing exciting happening but getting plenty done. 🙂

 

"Mom, I need to go slobber on that lady before she starts running again!"

I was scratching her arm for a bit and she started to fall asleep sitting up. Hahaha

Relaxing in the sun

Temperatures have finally gotten pretty decent here lately. I try to get Storm out when I’m physically able to.  Of course when we go out, we just go for a walk. I took her to doggy daycare for the first time since her surgery last week (I think?). We only went for 30 minutes & she was not using her leg for the rest of the night. It has made me nervous as I don’t want her to have another surgery. I am thinking I will wait another month then try daycare again.

I decided to go black & white with the first shot and liked the result. Which do you prefer—the colored or the black & white?

Have a great week!

Doggy Daycare – Puppies!

These shots are from my first day back at doggy daycare. These are actually before the ones in my last post of doggy daycare. I was on Cloud 9 as we had a few new puppies that I had never seen yet. I hope you enjoy these pictures!
