Those who have followed my blog know Hannah and her story. If you missed that post, just go to "review" and click on Hannah. One day I gave her one of my old softballs, and she just jumped and jigged around it until I threw it for her. I didn't teach her a thing about fetch, she came by it naturally. She LOVES her ball. I colored the ball in these photos because Hannah being black, is like a silhouette in these photos, a red ball was a must. This one is actually brown, and if the ball looks hairy, {string wrapped cork} thats because it is. Tessa chews off the covers of the softballs, which are Hannah's favorite. She doesn't like tennis balls much at all. Just so you know, softballs have many different cores. The things we learn from our dogs...

I was thrilled and honored to be a part of such a historical day! It was a great day for America! Tuesday was a very long day. I was up at 3 am and to bed at 11. Romeo was kept very entertained for almost eight hours! I hand walked him a lot. He had a lot of hay, apples, and snacks. I was able to take a lot of photos before the parade.

Most of the usual suspects have been tagged or are doing the tagging this round, so I'll have to catch someone else off guard ! Six random facts about me..... 1. I am having a secret love affair with Viggo Mortensen,{ Aragorn, Lord of the Rings} so secret in fact, that Viggo has no clue who I am. {Sigh} 2. The ONLY other man I am passionate about is Audie Murphy. I have been two timing Viggo with him. I know, I am shameless. I have watched The Texican 5 times, Destry 3 times , Column South, Duel at Silver Creek, & Kansas Raiders each once. Thats not so crazy you say... but that was just this week. 3. I once raised a tiny meadowlark baby bird, my dog brought me unharmed. I had no idea where he got it from, so no putting it back. I would take the baby outside ...

Hannah - It is how you chase the ball that counts. If you are going to do something, do it will all your heart. Tessa - Being pretty doesn't keep you out of trouble.

In case you haven't seen it, and want to start your year off with a heart warming story, the year end issue of Sports Illustrated had an update story on Michael {yick} Vick's dogs. In the end, 47 out of 51 were saved. It details several and their new happy homes. " Sweet Jasmine " is the one shown on the cover. I love a happy ending, and my respect and gratitude goes out to those who worked so hard to save these innocent little souls. I was so happy to see this, and had to read through, blurry tear filled eyes. I love it when things actually work out the way they should. The last photo was sent to me in an email - gotta love it !
