Family Pictures

We all got together at the camphouse over the holidays and had almost as many four-legged animals there as we did two-legged. I guess Cotton (Alice's little white kitten) was the only one that wasn't with us. Below are some pictures of our crew.

Alice and Jayne's Place

Betty stopped by Sasser on the way home to visit Alice's place. As you can tell, the theme at the shop is Halloween.

Jesse with Lindsey's dog, Olive (a long-haired chihauhau).

Olive getting all decked out in a halloween costume.

Weekend at Eileen's

Betty, Taylor, and Jesse came up last weekend for the TCC vs UL football game. Here's a few of the pictures that Betty took.

Jesse and Kami. All the dogs love Jesse...he seems to have a special connection with them!

Amanda, Jesse, Kristen, and Taylor.
Charkee, Kolle, and Bubba Joe (the cat) all in the dog pen. Bubba Joe loves to be in the pen with the dogs. He has no thoughts of trying to jump out...just waits until we open the gate so they can all come out at the same time. Charkee trying to escape from the pen. When she first came to live with us she could escape with no problems. Now her belly prevents her from being Houdini.

Update on Polly Ann: She now lives outside and resides on the front porch while Bubba Joe guards the back deck. They seemed to have established their territory and don't cross paths.

HorseShoe Pond - Betty's Pictures

Betty and Jesse spent a Sunday afternoon gator and bird watching at the HorseShoe pond. I wanted to share some of her photos with everyone (Betty, I hope you don't mind).

Sunset

Watching a gorgeous sunset is a very magical moment in life. When we go to the beach, we always love watching the sunset after spending a long, hot day at the beach. Its amazing how much more relaxed and peaceful you feel after watching the sun dissapear into the horizon.

While Kristen was at West Point Lake this summer with Nick and his family, she introduced them to the joy of sunset watching. She also rubbed it in that we (Doug and I) were missing all the fun while she was at the lake and we were home working. She took this picture of the beautiful sunset at the lake.

One-eyed Kami

The vet tried to shave the hair around Kami's eyes because she has a cornea ulcer in the right one. He was successful in shaving around the right eye but she pitched such a fit that he would not try to shave around the left one. Now she looks like someone smashed her face.

She may weigh only 3lbs. but she acts like she's a Great Dane!
