Funny thing about friends, they really know your true identity. Ebby has a friend here in Auburn. Let’s call here Aunt Lynn. Anyway, Aunt Lynn was so excited to see that Ebby had brought us back here that she gave her a welcome home present. As you can clearly see, Aunt Lynn not only knows Ebby’s size, but her inner personality as well. Thanks Aunt Lynn!
Happy Thursday everyone! Be sure to love on your pets today if you are lucky enough to have them. Deborah
This is what it looks like in the evenings at our house these days…
Ebby and me, watching TV
Ebby helped me, in her normal way, finish the first of this month’s socks tonight. I love the sock and the way the cables turned out, but it was harder than I had expected…Cables are in my future, but as with anything else, practice is sometimes painful…

It fits!!
The second sock will be finished at the beach this week. One week between semesters and we are goin’ to the beach! Yay!
Don’t know if you all have seen this group of ladies preform, but this morning was the first time I had seen them. Wow! Enjoy!

Ebby’s birthday is on the 9th of October. So she and I went on an excellent adventure today to celebrate. We went to Hancock fabrics where we bought her a new yard of fleece for two new blankets. Of course, what motif would one get for a one year old Chihuahua? How about this:
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Then we went to PetCo and picked out a new bed, new chew toys and sweaters. As I write this she is bringing me her favorite toy to throw for her, her brother’s 15 year old, ratty potato man stuffed thing…Oh well, at least she will use the sweaters and the new bed… Finally, we went to lunch together at one of my favorite places for wings. We had loads of fun and everyone wanted to take her off my hands….
Hot Wings For Ebby's Birthday, Yum!
Till next time, Fair Winds
Last week’s Dogs on Thursday post was not one that was planned. Although we did expect the outcome eventually, it was not welcome. Anyway, this week I can post photos of Ebby’s first experience with swimming. While on our trip last week we were able to visit the Outer Banks of North Carolina. If you own a dog and want to go to the beach with them, don’t go to Florida, go to North Carolina! Florida does not welcome dogs!! Anyway, Ebby was more than welcome on the beaches in Kill Devil Hills, NC and she learned to do a little dog paddle on her own. Here are some shots of the trip and of her experience. Enjoy.
I am too little to go out there!
Let's go swimming!
We are going swimming! Whee!
Ok, maybe Daddy will take me swimming!
Here we go...
Look at me, I'm swimming!
Hey this is lots of fun. Don't drop me!
Nobody told me you had to rinse off afterwards....
