Rescue Pets........

I'm having trouble with Blogger for the last few days so I'm reposting a few shots from my local shelter. Is anyone else having problems? I can use old pictures but not any new ones.

Please click on "The Daily Puppy".

Right now shelters are overfilled with pets that need homes. If you are considering a pet, please visit your local Humane Society or Animal Shelter. You will never find a better pet and it will thank you and be a loyal pet for it's lifetime. A pet gives you unconditional love at all times.

A Letter To My Animals.........

I have a thing or two to say to a couple of my animals today. As you all know, I love all of our animals but lately a couple have "issues" that I'd like to address. And a BIG thank you to Roxie and Ellie for being good examples lately. I'll address you another day......I'm sure...........

Darling Sophie..........why is wherever I lay clothes to dry your favorite place to sleep? Is it the smell of fresh laundered clothes that you can't resist? I'm going to change detergents AGAIN just to see if I can find one that you don't absolutely adore!! I love you but really.........come on???


Sweet Sadie and Gus you big lug.........must you fight over every apple you find in the yard? You have toys everywhere and you want to play with apples? It's like some kind of keep away game with you two lately. And please Gus, for the love of Pete (whoever Pete is??), would you stop chewing on the deck? What's the deal with that??


And you........Scully!!! Must you start with "Hey.....What You Doin" as soon as the sun cracks in the sky every morning? Whats the deal with that?


As soon as Sophie, Sadie, Gus and Scully read this I just know that things are going to change around here. Right? Right???

Please click on "The Daily Puppy".......for the love of Pete :)

Have a beautiful day and........

Friday Shoot-Out - Wildlife In Motion

****Please click on the Daily Puppy!!! The puppies thank you :)****

YAY......TGIF!!!! And that makes it time for "Friday Shoot-Out". One of my favorite blogger "dudes" over at The Butler and Bagman Chronicles picked out this week's topic. Animals and wildlife around us and how we have encroached on their territory. (P.S. I miss you dude and I'm waiting to take that photo with Bagman!!)
We have quite a few people starting participating in Friday Shoot-Outs. Patty and I @ Crisfield, Maryland started and it took on a life of it's own. We have GingerV from Brazil, Loida from China, HalfCrazy from the Phillipines and the ever popular Barry, Papa, Noe Noe, J9, Oz Girl from all over the Continental U.S showing off their towns. Someone needs to call Ellen or Oprah!! Just kidding and please visit their blogs and check out their snaps! And don't forget that you can click on any photo to have a closer view. GingerV @ Flowers and More has chosen next week's subject (scroll down) since it was her turn. Please check out her blog......she's one nice lady and sends me the funniest and sweetest e-mails.
So here we go.........

A cute little Prarie Dog......



A Horned Owl.....



A Toucan behind bars. Wonder what he did? Did he steal for Fruit Loops?.....



A beautiful Parrot at the zoo.......



A Red Coyotes behind. I think he was shy......



Spoon-Billed Drake..........



Hungry Mallards.....I think they are encroaching on my territory right now.......



Indian Peacock.......



Goat, donkey and sheep.....again, mostly behinds



Crouching Tigress Sophie watching me type yesterday morning's blog post...



More goats.......a few faces this time but still.....nice butts though.....



Roxie our rescue Border Collie (Prince says that Roxie is a "stripper's" name. I wonder how he would know something like that? She's ever so sweet and Roxie likes her name. I have no idea what kind of past she has). She jumps a mile high when I bring out the groceries (okay, maybe not a mile but she does jump really high).....



A yellow jacket feasting on nectar on my blueberry bushes. I know that she's REALLY hard to find in there....look over to the far left....she's really petite and has her face down in a bloom supping! I hope she spreads lots of pollen to the other four bushes.......



Ellie Bee our 3 pound Chihuahua with the Doberman attitude (my kinda gal. Good for her, she doesn't take anything off those bigger ones, lol). She keeps all the other big dogs in line.......



Neighbor guy's rescue pup Dixie. I say she's a Dixie Darlin........



Roxie, Sadie and Gus. I have their undivided attention right now. I have grub....Okay B&B, this is a "wild time" at our house. It's like a stampede every meal. Geez, you'd think we never feed them. Every time it's like the first time they've ever seen food........



Sadie telling Gus "Look, I'm the Diving Board Queen of 2009. I am still able to fulfill my duties so back off". And yes Barry, Sadie will relinquish the diving board for a few minutes if you and lovely Linda would come to Newnan for a little swim. Talk about a wild time!! I don't know if Newnan could handle the party....



The beautiful GingerV has chosen the subject "My Town-the Four (4,5, or 6 blocks of your towns Main Street for next Friday she says). Sounds like a great subject to me hey Patty?

Hope everyone has a weekend filled with love, joy and laughter.

Tuesdays Touring Newnan......City Of Homes

It's Tuesday and time for me to pay homage to my beautiful hometown - Newnan, Georgia. It's Spring and folks around here's flowers are beginning to bloom and gardens are being tilled that soon will support melons, tomatoes, squash and other fine fare . Produce stands in corner markets offer boiled peanuts to pick up to take to ball games.

Newnan is a charming town of a million small memories, pieced together to make homes for our resident's and the generations of residents to come. Come take a stroll with me again........... (Don't forget that you can click onto each individual picture for a better up close and more detailed view)


First I want to show off my switch plate covers that I ordered from Attic Clutter!! She may not live here in Newnan but these fine hand painted folk art switch plate covers do now. I found these on her blog and knew that I had to have them for our house. Everyone that sees them loves them and you should check out her blog for more fine etsy items. She'll send them to you straight away with a sweet little note inside the post........




The entrance to Forest Lawn Memorial. I love the way the entrance sign is covered with creeping ivy..........




Blue Ribbon winning oil painting displayed in Espresso Lane Coffee House. They showcase local art and local talent and make a mean cup of cappuccino......




Lots of folks play Texas Holdem at the Alamo in town........




Andy's Corner Market on the outskirts of town. Beautiful flowers, awesome produce and delicious boiled peanuts are offered here on a daily basis. They will be buying my organic produce on Wednesdays and Saturdays beginning in May......




More of the gorgeous stained glass that graces many of our local homes and churches....




I thought the corner of this front yard off of Macedonia Road was really striking and I love the topiary in front of the Pampas grass.......




I love this old hand mortared brick wall with the old rusty silo behind it. I pass this quite often and always wonder what kind of men painstakingly laid all of these bricks. The wall is kind of long and I wonder if this was the beginnings to a "Great Wall of Newnan"...........







Of course I've saved my favorite snapshot for last. I was driving home late yesterday afternoon after a long day and saw these kiddos on the side of Roscoe Road all dressed up in their finery holding up this sign. Much to the chagrin of Prince I did a great big ole U-turn in the middle of the road to get this photograph. Thank goodness none of Newnan's finest was around to give me a lecture (though I'm sure that they would understand right?). I asked these young one's what this was all about and they all laughed and said "Well, we were kind of bored and it's really a big inside joke". They were ever so polite, as most of the children are in Newnan, and were happy to strike a pose for me. I'm sure that Butler or Bagman of The Butler and Bagman Chronicals will have a heyday dissecting the absurdities of the meaning behind this little venture. I'm going to lean towards the explanation of Bagman in advance because Butler can't stop obsessing about my hair. But that's another story entirely.




****"Black and orange stray cat sittin on a fence. Ain't got the money for to pay the rent" (BUT....he's got cat class and he's got cat style!!).

Hope everyone has a joyful day. Take good care and........

I wanted to add a few snapshots of pups and kitty's that are in Animal Control in Newnan and available for adoption. These animals need a home and tender loving care. They make great pets!! Animal Control is always busy, but due to the economy it is now over-flowing with all kinds ot pets to be. People who can't afford to keep their pets any longer are just turning them in. From the full blooded to the Heinz 57 variety they are here and ready for you to take home with you :) You'll never find a more loving and loyal pet than a rescue pet.....they never forget that you saved their lives :)
