dogs around

Today was a pretty good day. We moved some of the tractors around, swept up the barn and then watched it rain. I paid my fertilizer bill at CPS and then bought a new set of tires for my truck. This evening Dad, Luka, my sister and me went to quaker steak and lube for my sister's birthday. We also meet my other sister there and her husband there, they had been celebrating their 2nd wedding anniversary. 

This weekend most of us are going to tennessee for my grandparents 5oth wedding anniversary. The cabin is available friday until monday morning, but I will probably leave on saturday so I can be back home to go to church. I haven't been the last two weeks, so I am starting to feel bad about missing and need to get back. 

To the title of the post I thought I would talk about the dogs we have running around here. 

We have three labs, all of which have free range. Jasmine is the oldest, she is a black lab. Jasmine doesn't move around much anymore since she's she is approaching 16 in dog years. 

Mitzie is a golden lab, and she loves fetching things. Whenever Mitzie sees my truck coming down the road, she runs where it is going to come say hi to me. Mitzie may be my favorite dog that I have. 

CJ is a chocolate lab that my brother got from a girl named Casey Jo. CJ has been adopted by my grandparents and is generally hanging around there, waiting to play fetch with Mitzie. 

My married sister has two dogs, Captain Morgan and Brandy. She got the inspiration for the names from liqours I suppose. Both dogs are considered mutts, at least by their owners. Captain Morgan and Brandy are about medium sized, at least in this group of dogs. Brandy is a black and white dog whereas captain is mostly brown with some black fur and white. 

My youngest sister has a pug named Chloe and a maltese poodle named Chrissy. They are generally around since she is a freshman in college and doesn't always have the capacity to monitor them. 

My middle brother recently got a toy yorkie that matches the toy yorkie that his now fionsee has. He named it Cooper, which I think means that it is a boy. Cooper is particulary small able to fit in the palm of my hand. 

All the dogs seem to get along well, with the exception of Jasmine to the smaller dogs. However, Jasmine is old and doesn't need to aggravation of little dogs running around nipping at her heels.
