Spoiled Princess // Dogs on Thursdays

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

One Down // One To Go

This is what it looks like in the evenings at our house these days…

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…

The second sock will be finished at the beach this week.  One week between semesters and we are goin’ to the beach!  Yay!

Ebby’s Birthday Celebration // One Year And Counting

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:

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….

Till next time, Fair Winds

Ebby Learns To Swim // Dogs On Thursday

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.

Safe Arrival // Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary

Our first stop on this trip was Clemson University, near Anderson, SC.  Clemson has a beautiful campus that is pretty much a mirror image of the Auburn Campus.  We took a walk through the shops on the main drag through town and came away with a new toy for Ebby.  Who knows she may be starting a collection of university mascots in miniature.  This one plays the Clemson fight song when you squeeze it just like her Auburn tiger plays War Eagle.  She doesn’t much care for either song, and will patiently wait for the song to end before tearing into the stuffed toy.

The drive from Clemson to Lynchburg is a pretty one and after arriving safely, yesterday afternoon, we took a quick tour of the city of Lynchburg, VA and the campus of Liberty University.  The roads here are amazingly confusing.  Everywhere you turn there is literally another set of railroad tracks or a river to navigate around.  Getting from point A to point B with any ease will require a little practice and a whole lot of patience.  We were so busy running around today that I only snapped a few photos.  However, I did manage to do the important things, like, locate a Michaels, A.C. Moore, JoAnns, Wal-mart, and even a cross stitch shop, squee!  About an hour from Lynchburg is the Yarn Barn, which will be a must do trip for me once we are settled.

The seminary is on the north side of the campus right next to the law school.  The south side of the campus seems to be all undergraduate studies.  There is an ice rink, a very nice basketball arena, a football stadium (Go Flames) and best of all, recreation wise, there is the new LU Snowflex, a year round outdoor ski area up on Liberty Mountain.

We really like the area and found an apartment complex that will work for us as well.  Now we are headed to Kill Devil Hills, NC for some beach R&R.  Tomorrow night a hotel room with a balcony overlooking the ocean awaits.  Look out east coast, here we come…
