Happy Halloween!

HAHAHA! So I made Sadie a costume.  

She is  a mermaid! :)

I made this for the Dunkin' Donut ladies... See the munchkin donut holes in the treasure chest?!!!

Autumn... a polaroid album

Pictures of Fall... that I took and forgot in my camera.  

I love the yellow, red, and freakin' "On-FIRE" ORANGE the trees turn into in AUTUMN!  Plus, I added my pup Sadie, and a Squirrel for everyones enjoyment!   Enjoy!

Sam, aka Kitty Kitty

I'm going to start this post with a HUGE SIGH... ready?  *Sigh* 

Every time I see Sam, I sigh.  Why?  well, because once you forget about him you see him peeking in the front window reminding you that he is still there... like a stalker.  

Lets go back.... say,  a year and a half  I think.  So its July 2009. 

Sam's Story:  

Sam is a cat.  He started wandering around our house because we always have people there.  The neighborhood kids like playing with my dog Sadie, so this one day they were there to knock on our door to see if Sadie could come out to play.  Well, I open the door and this cat is there with them.  No one knows where he came from or if he has a home.  But, he is skinny and sickly looking... but happy and social.  So we called him Kitty-Kitty.

So I take pictures of him and make a flier: FOUND!  After about a month, (since he was always at our house) we assumed that he was homeless and started letting him in our garage.  Another 2 weeks go by,  we crack down and buy him a collar at the dollar store.  He was going to be my brothers cat, since he was all attached to him by now.  

Nope! As soon as we put that collar on he came back a day later with a note attached to it.  It said My name is Sam. I live _.  So he had a home.  And the people who owned him  were friends  we knew from church.  Go figures right? 

So every day after that we tried to bring him home.  He didn't want to go home.  The only time we could get him to follow us there was by walking my dog Sadie.  He followed her to his home, so every night after that... my dad has to walk Sam home with Sadie.

What a cute nuisance. . . he has those eyes. Plus, he always seems to be in the way.

See.. he is right in front of Sadie's face! 

I try to take photos of Sadie during a holiday season... so she can give it to the dunkin donut ladies to grace their bulletin board.  So, he is always in the way!  Messed up a ton of would-be-great pics of Sadie in her bunny ears! :)

Sam and Trouble (my cat)

So now he hangs around all the time... and when his parents go on vacation, he also lives with us.

Sam and Sadie

So that is the story of Sam... the cat who-doesn't-want-to-go-home.  And sometimes, he is the thorn in my side, but I like him.  He is funny  and makes me smile.  But he is like the kid who-wont-go-home and sometimes i'm tired of looking after him.  (Especially, when he follows Sadie and I when we go on a walk.  I have to make sure he is safe if he follows us across the road to the other subdivision.)

SO....Sam-the-cat is friends with Sadie-the-dog.  Go figures!

What Breed?

So... Most (not all) of my friends have kids... well, I have a dog.  Her name is Sadie and don't ask me what breed she is.  I have no idea.  I have an inkling, but I could be wrong.  We think she has some border collie or Aussie Shepherd in her and ??   SO... if that helps any... GREAT!

So I am beginning to say she is of the Sadie Breed.  She is rare on this earth as she is the only dog in the world like her.  AND no you cant have her.  So some would say she is a mutt... yeah, so.  I like her the way she is! She is unique.  

So here she is... my pup-dog.  Isn't she adorable?!!! 

So... she is about 4ish years old... and I adopted her from the pound and restored her to her proper weight and her health flourished and she POOFED OUT!!!  When I got her she was rather short haired, balding on her rump and her tail was pathetically covered in what little fur that was on it.  I'll admit her fur was ugly... but who cares now right?  Moving on... So now her coat is curly and medium/long fur with a tail that looks more of a flag with her fur.  She is pretty good in agility, only we don't do competitions... its just a fun way for her and I to have fun!  

I also make her dress up for Halloween... which is coming up this month... this is what she looked like last year:

She is spoiled rotten, has too many toys and gets way too much attention but craves more....cuz the kitty cat that resides in my house wants attention too... Jealous much?  

Anyway.... why am I bringing her up now?  Well... she threw up in my moms car this afternoon.  JOY!
