I love this video of Miss Allie and my sister-in-laws new pup, Piper.  You will hear me also go into a panic in this video.  The reason for that is that Piper was only about 6 weeks old, 1.5 lbs. and had just got out the hospital a couple days before for what the vet thinks was a collapsed lung.  But as you can tell from this video he had no side effects from it.  The only thing Miss Allie wanted to do was chew her bone.

I’m sorry I have been gone for so long. I had my hand surgery. I had a ganglion cyst removed from my right hand, again. It was just 3 years ago when it was taken off. This time it had grown through my hand at a very fast rate. It is gone once again and my hand is almost back to normal. Let’s hope that it doesn’t come back. Gary was absolutely wonderful this time around helping me out, he is even doing massage therapy on my scar for me. I can’t stand to touch it, it turns my stomach right around.

Allie is growing by leaps and bounds. She is one today. I think I’ll get her a cupcake on Thursday and have a small party for her. I bought her some toys and left them in the bag but the little brat found them and was playing with them. We been working with her in the water but she just doesn’t seem brave enough to swim. Is there a trick to get your dogs to swim? This is the first dog we have ever had so I’m new to all of this. She’s just so gentle, maybe I have babied her too much. Gary tried to get her to kill a snake the other night and she wanted to just smell it instead. I’m sorry but I want my dog to kill snakes. Ughh. We don’t see them very often but sometimes in the fields after he mows them they come along. I scream and run the other way when I see them, I would love to have my pup go kill them for me. So I wouldn’t have to worry about them.

I have finally started cooking again. I’m sure that Gary is happy about that. I made these beautiful ribs on the 4th. Oh they were so good. It was the first time I had ever made them. They were so easy and came out perfect. I just seasoned them with salt and pepper, drizzled olive oil on them and baked them in the oven at 225 for 3 hours and then put them on the grill and basted them with gluten free bbq sauce. I used one from Kraft. They were messy, your ribs should be messy with bbq sauce. That’s one of the things that makes them so good.

BBQ Ribs on the 4th

I have a lot of new recipes that I want to try, I wish my garden would go a tad bit faster. Have several new zucchini recipes, but I haven’t been able to find any fresh yet. As soon as I do, there will be wonderful recipes posted.

I can’t believe that it’s May 8th and I still have not posted anything this month, but then again I can only think of two meals that I have made. They weren’t anything special. Tonight we had tacos and I think the last time was pork chops on the grill with some parsley potatoes. I’m off the next four days and we have so many tasks planned I probably won’t make anything special this week either. I’m in a serious slump. I think it’s the weather. It seems like every time mother natures wants to rain I get a serious sinus headache that knocks me out. Since I don’t have any recipes to share I thought I would share some new pictures of the family. I hope you enjoy them.

We took Miss Allie to the doctor today and she has an infection in her feet, so she is now on antibiotics for a week. Other than that she is ready to go hunting with her dad.

I officially have the mid winter blues. It probably wouldn’t be too bad if my foot wasn’t still bothering me and I could get out of the house more often, however; it has been so damn cold in the New York that I am going to have to buy Miss Allie some boots to get her through the rest of the winter. She loves to play outside but I think sometimes it really bothers her feet.

There is nothing exciting going on this year either, this year is about getting work done around the farm and getting bills paid so that we can take a vacation to France next year to visit some of Gary’s family. We are so excited about going. I’m excited about just getting our passports.

Miss Allie is such a bright light in my life. She has is off to the vet next week to be spade (which I am having mixed feelings about. I have never been able to have children, and I would love her to. That’s probably kind of weird) and have a couple dew claws removed and I am already sad that she is going to be gone for a couple of days. I thought I would share some of the things that we love about her for the fun of it.

Here goes…

  • The way she moans in my ear as she is falling asleep
  • The way she cuddles on your lap (even though she is getting way to big to)
  • The fact that everytime she gets a drink of water I have to refill the water dish because the pump starts running
  • The way she has to kiss you for five minutes when you get home, it just feels good to have some one be so happy to see you
  • The way her tail starts hitting me at 3 in the morning because she is so excited because she hears her daddy coming home
  • The fact that she has her own little bag of honey nut cheerios at grandma’s
  • She never smells like a dog
  • Her droopy lips and wrinkles
  • The way her butt wiggles when she wags her tail
  • She can cover an acre of land and glide over the ditch within 3 seconds and then right before she gets to you, she turns sideways and body slams you, and then heads back
  • The way she plays with the cats
  • and snuggles with Simba

  • When she shares her bone with you
  • Or makes you hold her rawhide so she can chew it
  • When I find cleaned out catfood cans all over the house, especially in our bed
  • While I’m picking up all her toys at night and putting them back in her toy box she is taking them back out
  • Her DRAMATIC Yawns

I could go on and on but I won’t bore you but my one final thing I love about Miss Allie Mae is

  • The way she has made herself daddy’s little girl
