Busy week



Sorry I have not posted in awhile (actually I'm not sure who all reads this, it could just be me~although I know Kirsten keeps up with it sometimes!) But anyways my birthday was last Friday~thanks Faith and Kirsten for the birthday wishes~ Kirsten yes I did get your card and it was great! OK so for my birthday I asked James if I could go on a scrapbooking retreat and he said yes and it was so great! I got a lot accomplished and it was just nice to stay in PJ's for 2 days and be crafty!! Here are a couple pictures from the retreat: this was the cake one of the ladies brought and they had candles on it (thankfully not 29!)


This is sweet Asher. His mom is a really good friend of mine who I met at church. She actually got me back into scrapbooking after I finished the MFT program. He was blocking the light from his face while he took a nap!OK on to more serious business! On Monday I found this sweet dog roaming a busy road and my heart just went out to him. So I stopped my car got out and called him to come to me and he came! Ohh dog why did you come to me? Now I must do something with you!! I first went to my vet because he was literally around the corner and the man was completely rude! So Anna and rascal will no longer be in his care! I sort of panicked because I had a meeting I had to be at in about 15 minutes so I ran him home and put him in rascal's kennel. When I got back me and a friend gave him a bath because he was filthy and his hair was completely matted. I also found good size mass on the inside of his lower leg :( So then we went back to where I found him and started knocking on doors. NO LUCK! Not one person had ever seen him and a couple people said ohh yeah i think he belongs to that person or this person...well no he didn't! So yesterday I was a little more pro-active and I made flyers and posted them at 3 surrounding vets (including my ex-vet), a local grocery store, and Academy! I also called and placed a found ad in our paper which will run for 3 days. So for all you Christians out there I need prayers! This dog belongs to someone, although they took horrible care of him (by not grooming him) because he does not bark, he is house trained and he is SUPER lovable! Please pray his owners see the ads and contact me!!! Here are a couple pictures. I named him Sampson after my sweet little sammy I grew up with!

I am going to Austin today through Sunday so I may not post until next week so happy weekend everyone!

I read it! I read it! Come on Kat! You know we love you! LOL
(oh I think that is Adin) Although he looks just like Asher!
Good luck with the dog! I'm in the same position (with a yellow lab puppy) But I'm not as proactive as you!
