St Patty's Day Parade Pics

Here's a link to a slide show of pictures from Parade Day! For those of you who want to grab the photo's and use them, I will post a link for that ASAP. My standard slideshow doesn't let you, but I am happy to have everyone have all the crazy pics of themselves they want! And you are a crazy bunch, that is for sure!

Does anyone know a good way to post my photos larger without losing quality? I was changing the width in the html, but that was making them not as sharp. So for now, I will leave them small!  I'm sure it's something technical that I should have figured out.  Andy Chapman, where are you? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

American Buffalo

The Abreact of Detroit put on another amazing show recently. I was lucky enough to be asked to take photos of the production, American Buffalo. Here's just a sampling of the many, many photos from the evening. Check out their website for info and schedules. www.theabreact.com You must, must see Desperate Losers (part 2), it starts June 20th. After seeing part one, I have been waiting (impatiently) to see what happens next! For those of you who did not see part one, don't worry. I have been told that they will be re-capping, so you will know what is going on.

walking

Lucy and I have been practicing our walk together, and I must say, I think we are doing very well! She stays right by my side and trots along so proud of herself! It is something we both need. Her, because she becomes the exorcist dog with all the pent up energy she has sometimes. She shakes her toys so hard, I think her head is going to start spinning! And me, well we all know why we humans need any little exercise we can get! To stop the spread!

baby's of all kinds

Braylin came over today to meet Lucy. So of course I had to get the camera out! Unfortunately, Braylin was a little more cautious about the puppy than we expected. It was Lucy's first time seeing a human so close to her size, so of course she was a little (more) rambunctious. Although I didn't get any pics of them together, I did get some great wintery pics of Braylin in out in the back yard and some of Lucy loving her "baby". (Edited 3/11/08: more pics added)

Tim wanted a pic of him with his two favorite girls. (Favorite other than me of course!)

Bath Time

Lucy had her first bath last night.

Shelley's done it!

Well, Tim and I are proud new parents again for the 4th time! Yes, we did it! That little puppy was all I could think about since Thursday night! So she is now ours. I was kinda a basket case making the decision. I was so worried about the cats. So far it's been ok. I was most worried about Oden, but it seems that Mugsy is having the hardest time. Hissing some, but at least she's not hiding. Loki's doing her usual thing, coming out when she feels like it. I think that the fact that the cats are all out and standing their ground is a good sign! We are taking it slow, keeping Lucy in her crate to let the cats get comfortable with the idea of her. (don't worry, she's not in the crate all the time, just around the cats) It's crazy, but she loves that thing already and is going in it on her own to relax.

All the cats would sneek up to the crate in the kitchen:
Here's Loki doing it

If you look carefully Oden is peeking from behind the stove and the top of Mugsy's head is peeking over the top stair on the right side

Oden, he did make it a little farther than this

Mugsy stretching a little more to try and see what was going on, poor thing is pretty freaked

Lucy already loves her stuffed sheep, she's carrying it around plops her head down on it

She's so tired, she kept crawling into her crate and napping
