Free Dog to a Good Home!

Not sure how much time I have to get him given away Sooner would be better.

Rick has decided that Bubba must really go. He will take him to the pound, Rick just doesn't know where the pound it. :P

Bubba is part blue heeler, part Austraulian sheppard. He is probably about a year old. He stands about 18" or so and around 40 pounds. (I am not a good judge of dog flesh. He is small for a TB.) :) He has had all his shots, he is nuetered, and housebroken. He has not grown much since we got him in June. He is a dog and Rick has decided we don't need one.

Bubba is trained to voice commands. He will come when called. He loves to play and is great with kids and cats. He loves playing with his hands. His one bad habit: Chewing. I think he is out growing it and I know it is happening less frequently, but he does chew.

If you would like to give Bubba a home please email me and let me know. I have attached a few picutres or you can go to http://www.sierraranchok.com/dog.html and see more pictures.

Thanks,

My Chirstmas Present!

OK, so this is not a picture of my Christmas present. :)

Allyson (kid no. 3) is now officially ours. Her mom signed the papers on Christmas and the judge finalized everything on January 2.

One of the first things Allyson asked for was a rat. EEWWW! I was negotiating for a little white mouse when one of the interns said she had chinchillas that she was giving away. So, we investigated and researched and brought home a Chinchilla to add to the zoo. The kid is beside herself. I think the Chinchilla would be happier if the cats would not hang out at her cage. But she is adjusting well to the zoo.

Allyson is adjusting to living at our house. She is having to do some things for herself that she did not do at Mom's, but she is getting the routine. She is being a big help by feeding the horses when she gets home from school. I figure the least I could do for a bit is make sure her clothes are washed and put up. We will transition into the more independent thing. I think that part is real new to her.

Well, better get back to the real job. Have a great week!

First Picture of the Grandkid!

As some of you remember from past blogs we gained custody of the No. 2 kid just after her mom married her to a pretty nice kid. We actually did gain custody of Ashley, but since she is married Justin really has custody.

Being 16 and 18 birth control was not something they were both thinking about. DUH! So shortly after marrying the silly couple found out they were pregnant. Great! Just what every young couple needs.

One of our boarders is their OB/GYN and got permission to give this to Rick for Christmas. Course if you look closely you will see why! It is still in the womb and has Ashley's attitude. They keep referring to the baby as a girl, and Michelle (pleading patient/doctor privileges) will not confirm. The kids don't ever seem to be around long enough to officially ask, so I guess we can assume. And being the not so excited stepparent I think the silly grandkid is due in June. Probably around City Slickers, but not like I wanna be there.

There was a reason I didn't have kids. I think Ashley will figure that out. Don't mind spoiling it as long as I don't have to touch the silly thing until it talks. I will add more stuff later. Just knew folks were thinking about this and wanting an update. NOT!

Happy New Year!
