This lady's best friend

I only have one dog now. Her name is Bandit and she is truly my best friend.

She has been in my life for 5 years now. Her "big sister" Callie (also a mixed breed) passed away last year at the age of 14. Bandit is a border collie (her mother) mixed with apparently a blue heeler. She was an "accident" due to an unspayed female, but is a miracle to me. She is sweet and smart. A great house dog, who also loves the great outdoors! My loyal companion. We have participated together in annual walks to help the local animal shelter. So, we are happy to hear about this today: 

Pedigree® is sponsoring an Adoption Drive. They are donating a bowl of dog food for every "like" they get on their facebook page. And for every blog that mentions the Adoption Drive between Sept. 16 through Sunday, Sept. 19, Pedigree® will donate a 20-lb. bag of food to a shelter.

Cool Thoughts

A cool pic from earlier this year during a rare ground covering snowfal since......we've had

18 consecutive 100 + degree days so far, 106 yesterday which broke 105 record for the day.

Friday the 13th / Dog Days of Summer

Here it is, Friday the 13th.  I'm really not superstitious.  I like black cats and not afraid of ladders (under 6 feet)......  I'm just glad it's the end of another work week!!!!  However, strange things do seem to happen on Friday the 13th............

100 degrees in the shade

How does this fit in her cute, small mouth?? And yes, we need to get a big bone or a visit to the vet for dental cleaning or her mother needs to brush her teeth.**Ha, I just noticed the date stamp on my camera has 2011. What can I say?  Happy Friday the 13th!

My loyal helper

It's been too hot for us to work in the yard, but she still stays by my side.....whether pulling weeds or watering to keep the grass (and weeds) alive.

104 degrees here today. 

Lazy Sunday

It's been too HOT to do much of anything in HeartOfTexas, so Bandit and I have been lazy today. Sure, we took an early morning walk, along with checking out the withering plants and yard a few times during the day, but we  mainly stayed inside with the A/C blowing more often than not.  Tonight we are watching National Geographic's "And Man Created Dog". It's amazing how she is intently watching TV when hearing the dog and wolf sounds. Of course, she moves to the computer desk to guard my legs while I'm sitting at the computer........
