The Theme of This Story = The Number Ten

Today was Annabelle's 2nd vet visit.

It cost 10 times as much as our first visit - but she's now microchipped and we got some heartworm/flea preventive (Sentinel) for the month.

In the past two weeks, she has gained 10 pounds. That's right - she's nearly twice the dog from when we first met her.

*In this corner... weighing in at 23 pounds, the pooch with the smooch, the mutt with the strut, the dog with the blog... Annnnnn-aaaaaa-bellllllle*

This guy knows how to apologize

Democratic Rep. John Murtha said Monday some of his constituents in western Pennsylvania are "rednecks" and the entire region just five to 10 years ago was "really redneck."

The comments come one week after he called his own constituents "racist" in an interview with his local newspaper.

"What I said, that indicted everybody, that's not what I meant at all. What I mean is there's still folks that have a problem voting for someone because they are black," Murtha said.

Murtha said the history of southwestern Pennsylvania is teeming with racism. "This whole area, years ago, was really redneck," he told WTAE-TV Pittsburgh.

Looks like she's a KISS fan.

First Vet Bill

We took Annabelle to see Dr. Speth (DVM - Esla's husband) yesterday. She's in good health and up-to-date on all the shots already so it was mostly just to get her established. The only things we had done was suture removal, nail clippings, and got a rabies tag. Her current weight = 13.2 lbs. She was really good in the waiting area - and she's perfected the sneak-away low crawl (it was hilarious). The only barking was when a 3 year old black lab came bounding into the lobby from the back. Total cost of her first vet visit... $6. That's right. We only paid for the little rabies tag that goes on her collar.


Learning the Crate



Haven't quite got the idea of this bed yet


Danny's been working hard and patiently with training her to use her crate, sit, lay down, go potty, go for a walk, etc. She's learning so much...

We really need some sort of video device so you can see her silliness. She's a great player - loves to run in random circles for no apparent reason. She's also becoming a sweetie when it is time to rest or get a belly rub.

Annabelle

We've adopted a pup. She came for a house visit today and never left. Annabelle is about 3 months old and is said to be a Border Collie/Lab mix (Borador?). She's a cutie. Check out the black "goldfish" marking.
