It was about this time last year that we lost our Redbone Coonhound.  She had barked at someone trying to break into our neighbors car, and the criminal shot her.  The damage from the bullet was extensive, and sadly we had to put her down.

She was one of those dogs, the biggest pain in the backside you will ever now, but her sweetness and mournful eyes always made you forgive her.  I don’t miss the the destructive things she used to do, nor her tendency to “adopt” baby possums and bring them in my house, but she herself is dearly missed.  That dog had character.

My daughter went on a little field trip to the gymnasium with her playschool, last Friday afternoon.  She kind of got hooked on the barrel roller.

Eventually she did stop going, in circles, and crashed out in the barrel.

A few minutes after this one was taken they went outside to play on the climber and slides.  She perked right up, and was flying around again.

This was taken after she had already gone to playschool, the park & taken a walk.  She couldn’t get enough & started playing on her outgrown Little Tikes slide.  My little girl is like the Energizer Bunny

My daughter hates to sit still when I cut her bangs, and she has cowlicks to boot.  As you can see, this can lead to “bad bangs”.  When it is time to cut her bangs, I have to start in the morning, and go at it several times throughtout the day, so she won’t look like this.  Yes, they were fixed shortly after this pic, was taken
