Slinkie our Long-Haired Silver Dapple Dachshund

Bailey, Dalton, and I decided to stop by the pet shop to see the puppies as we do from time to time. Dalton immediately spotted an itty bitty wienie dog with it's paw up against the cage just looking at us with these big eyes. He begged me to buy the pup, but I just couldn't invest that much money in yet another animal without talking to Michael about it. I text Michael at work and explain that Dalton is crying his eyes out wanting this puppy. He says when he gets home we will go look at it. I knew right then and there we would be coming home with the pup, and we did.

How could anyone resist this little darling?

Dalton wanted to name her Slinkie like the slinkie toy on Toy Story. I wasn't crazy about the name, but it was his pup that he cried all day for, so why not?

Turns out, she is worth every penny we spent. The most loving and loyal dog around. Granted she isn't the smartest dog we have, but she sure is the sweetest.

Dalton packs her around like a ragdoll 24/7 and she lets him.

If you are every looking for a dog that is good with kids, this is definitely the way to go.

Family: Just a Normal Sunday

Yesterday was a great day with the family. Bailey and Dalton had a blast dressing Slinkie up as Woody from Toy Story. She is such a good dog, she will let them do anything to her, and she sleeps in the oddest ways.

Michael and I worked on the electric fence AGAIN. Then he weed-eated around it. It is FINALLY working right. Maybe Ill be able to keep some flowers now. One of the bushes {what was left that the goats didn't eat} in the yard has broke out in some beautiful buds and bloom.

Michael, the boys, and I; my uncle and his wife; as well as my niece, her hubby and baby rode on top of the mountain to look at view, take some pics, and check out the goats a friend has running loose up there. While there, Bailey came running to me and said.. "MOM! There is a drug-usin goat up here, we have to leave." I went to see what on earth he was talking about; the goat was chewing on a empty cigarrette pack. It is pretty hard to get something away from a goat when it doesn't want to let you have it. Just sayin.

It is such a beautiful place up there. We took a few family pics of Deidra, Sammy and Kylee.

and before Kylee was dressed in the adorable denim, she had on the shirt I bought her. Melted my heart.

After our trip, we came and changed the water in Crowbar's waterer and gave him {but I believe he is really gonna be a she} some fresh food.

Foghorn and the gang came out to see what all the commotion was about.

Foghorn is starting to crow and it is so comical.

Oh and like I mentioned before.. Peaches is THRILLED to be home! Can't ya tell?!
