We took Peanut to NE Park in order to get her some exercise. It was a lovely day and she got a good workout.

A couple of weeks ago we watched the show “Boston Legal” for the first time. A friend of ours had recommended it a while ago – and now we know why. It’s a hoot! We’ve rented the first and second seasons and have enjoyed every episode – with no commercials! If you’ve never seen it – and you like witty dialog – do yourself a favor and watch an episode – you’ll be hooked.

Miriam has requested dinner at 5pm, so I’m off to the kitchen to prepare the wings and sauce – yes, we’re having buffalo wings – yummo!

Later gators!

We’re optimistic that 2009 will be better than 2008. Let’s all think collective positive thoughts for this year.

Mir and I have had the week off – overall, it’s been pretty nice – the weather has cooperated and we’ve been able to relax quite a bit – after this past year, we needed some real relaxation time. Unfortunately, Mir has to go back to work tomorrow, but I’ll keep the home fires burning.

We’ve been able to walk the dogs everyday. This pic is from a walk we did around Lake Alice – it was a beautiful day.

The UF Women’s basketball team has been playing very well so far this year. If you get the chance, go watch some of their games. We’ve finally started going again – and always have a great time.

The lights come down today. New Year’s day officially ends the holiday season for us. We didn’t do a tree this year and decorated minimally – so, cleanup will be a snap – just how I like it.

For New Year’s Eve, we opted to stay home – had an invite to a party but worry about the dogs kept us home – and a good thing we were there – the fireworks were greater this year than last and the doggies got anxious – so, I sat with Peanut and Mir sat with the big dogs – after about a half hour the worst was over. We watched movies and drank some really good champagne. Not a bad ending to 2008.

Well, I need to take a shower, get dressed and take the doggies for a walk.

Best wishes for a happy 2009!

Happy Holidays to eveyone! We’re ready – the lights are on and Santa’s parking spot is reserved.

We watched the women’s Gator basketball play a terrific game this afternoon. Amanda Butler has done a fantastic job. This is the first game we’ve been able to attend, but I hope it’s a start to many others. The temp has dropped about 20 degrees and Miriam says the chili is ready – so, gotta go eat.

Later gators!

We hope that everyone had a happy Thanksgiving. Ours was nice and quiet – went to Ocala and had a delicious dinner there. Overall, we’ve had a nice holiday. And, of course, with the Gators beating FSU the weekend wound down splendidly.

Miriam is out taking Peanut for a walk before the rains come. I’ve got Boxer and Sydney here at the house getting their outside time.

Although, my typing is still limited, I’m able to do it easier and with less pain – and that means more blogging! So, keep checking back – I will get back to regular blogging as soon as I can. And since it is the holiday season, I’ll work extra hard to get this done.

Happy Holidays!

My name is Peanut. I need a new home. My evil step sister attacked me two weeks ago and I can no longer stay here. I’m a very sweet dog. I do have a few quirks – but then, wouldn’t you if you’ve been attacked by a mean bitch? 

I’m a little hyper alert. I have a very strong prey drive and can rid your yard of squirrels. I don’t like cats. I’m not too sure about children. Mainly, I would like to be the only dog – I need time to get over being attacked. 

I also need a yard with a fence I cannot climb. Sometimes, I freak out at strange noises. Turning on a water hose make me nuts and I’ll try to find a way out of the yard. I will escape if you use a pressure washer. 

Despite these issues, I am very loving. I like climbing into Lisa’s lap and laying with her. My ears are very expressive and I can make you smile. I love to sit on the deck and watch the yard. I’m a simple dog who doesn’t ask for much. 

I just need a loving home with pets that are very patient and understand us canines.

Dear readers, I’ve been out of commission the last several days. Had an unfortunate incident that has kept me from writing my blog. It will be awhile before I can blog with regularity again. I may be able to persuade Miriam to step in for me while I rehabilitate.

Needless to say, I’m still thrilled with the election outcome. And I hope to be discussing it more – particularly as Obama forms his cabinet.

Anyway, it’s good to be back and there will be more to come.

We’ve done it! Yippee!!!

Obama was just projected to be the next President of the United States. We spent most of the evening down the street with other like minded folks watching the election unfold.

God, it has been a very long eight years.

Hallelujah!!!

When I got home today I found an invitation taped to the front door. There’s an 08 Election Block Party down the street – begins at 7pm until we have a new President. We’re fired up and ready to go!

Yes. We. Can.

Go Obama!
