SkyWatch -


I came across a new meme called SkyWatch, it's a blog where you share photo's of the sky. Can be any photo as long as the sky is in the picture. Go check it out there are some breathe taking shots people have taken. This is my first SkyWatch post, hope you enjoy!



This picture was taken today (Oct. 18) we took a ride around the mtn side to take pictures of the gorgeous foliage. You can't really see the foliage in this photo but I love the way the sun is shining through and how blue the sky is.



Look at that sky so blue!!! This picture was also taken today. This is the tree in my front yard. What a gorgeous fall day.

Camera Critters # 28



If you have any animal photos or simply just love animals be sure to check out the Camera Critters Meme. What a terrific group of photos. I am so happy I found this meme.







It is very hard to get a good photo of Buddy because he usually turns away from the camera, it never fails. Usually when I have the camera I just snap and snap and snap hoping I get a decent photo. This photo was taking in our yard today (Oct. 18). We have a gorgeous red tree in our yard (can be seen here) I love the look of Buddy in the red leafs, his the perfect color for fall photos. I also love how the sun light is hitting him in this picture.



Today Buddy got to go to the park and play for a few. On the way back in the house he stopped to give Tigger (our Cat) a kiss. From the look on Tigger's face he doesn't seem to be enjoying the kiss. Usually Buddy either attacks the cat but only if we show the cat attention first or he usually just ignores the cat.




My Yard - Fall Foilage


This is the view of our front yard. I love the trees in the yard, they are so pretty this time of year.









Katterskill Falls







Today we drove up the Mtn to take pictures of the gorgeous fall foliage. We went to the Kattersill Falls. The falls are aprox 260 feet high and is the highest waterfall in New York State. We took the trail up the waterfall and we got pretty high up and I started to get sick, I was very dizzy and light headed, I have never in the past had an issue with heights. It's so gorgeous, the mtns surround you on both sides. The colors were fantastic!

I have to figure out how to do a slideshow because I have a lot of great pictures from today that I would love to share.

Take time to smell the Lillies






These photo's are of Buddy when he was small and when we could keep him off the leash and he would stay in the yard (the days before our crazy neighbor got the idea to leave bones on his porch for Buddy now he has to stay on a leash). I love these photos, he is so delicate with the flowers and he is so small, wish he would have stayed that size he's now a 100 pound solid ox.
Of course I had to make a scrapbook page of these pictures and that can be seen here
In follow up to our neighbor situation (can read here) and other ongoing issues with our neighbor we have finally found a lawyer to help us and we have a very solid case against the him. Thanks for all of your support and helpful advise.

Please help


I do apologize normally I would not post anything but craft related items on this post but I am calling for everyone's help. My dog Buddy occasionally slips his collar/leash and when I say occasionally I mean once a month if that, we always walk him on the leash. Sometimes we go out of the house and the door doesn't catch and he comes out etc. . When he does he runs over to the neighbors yard and either my husband or I are quick behind Buddy to get him back. The neighbor today made the comment "If your dog comes over here one more time I will shoot him" and it was said in anger. I am lived beyond belief. We called our local police department there is nothing they can do being Buddy "isn't human". They can only do something if the neighbor was to shoot Buddy. Can you imagine??!??!?! I called the ASPCA and I am waiting to hear back for an investigator. This is just the tip of the ice berg with the issues we have with our neighbor. His dog is continuously coming in our yard several times a day if not more. Does anyone have any other solutions for what I can do? We have invested in an above ground electric fence that we have installed and will begin using. But still how does someone get away with threating a dog? Buddy is not a vicious dog at all

Frisbee Fun






Buddy loves his frisbee. These are a few my favorite frisbee pics of Buddy. I am glad the dollar store carries frisbees because we sure do go through them pretty quickly around here. The yellow one he has in the first few pictures has last him a very long time, so every so often we go to the dollar store and stock up on them.
Here is a link to a scrapbook page with more of my fave frisbee pictures http://pets.webshots.com/photo/2301060700065773417iZqIoc
