I came home Friday after work to find a section of the fence in my backyard fallen over. The dogs were having a grand ol’ time exploring the neighbor’s yard. After wrangling the dogs into the house, I called upon my other neighbor (Thank you Mr. Bellis!) to give me hand in getting the fence back up. He helped me lift up the fence and get the mending plates I had picked up a couple of days before attached.
Oh no, not again…
I believe I have the word “Sucker” written across my forehead. Especially when it comes to animals. So here is the story.
Friends and Neighbors, Tony and Jessica, have two puppies: Bella and Mac. Bella is a perfectly white Pit Bull puppy (3 months old). Mac is a Black Fox Terrier with little bits of white here and there (5 months).
Well, Bella and Mac fight. Not play, or puppy tussle. They fight. So Mac needed to find a new home. Along comes the sucker.
Now Saidy and Mac get along well. They have their moments, but otherwise, there are no problems. So, without further ado, meet Mac, the latest addition to the family.
And see, peace can reign. On occasion…
As time goes on, I’m sure there will be lots of other pictures.
Fun with the Family Tree
For the last few years, I’ve been doing research into the family tree. Geneology has become a hobby, but not much of an obsession.
Then last night, I decided to go ahead and recreate the family tree online at Ancestry.com since I can’t seem to open the GEDCOM files from the program I used to have. So I spent some time taking advantage of their 2 week free trial.
I found a couple of interesting things.
Another Baby!
Another friend has had a baby. 
Allow me to introduce to you Mr. Bradley Knight. He’s a cute little chunker who looks so much like his daddy already it’s scary.
Bradley was born on January 27th, and I got to hold him when he was only a few hours old. His mama, Kara is doing very well. I just stopped by to see her tonight. She’s tired, but happy. But, what else can you expect when someone gets up every couple of hours. 
So, without further ado, allow me to present, Bradley. This picture was taken when I went to visit Kara and him in the hospital.
Yes, I’m still alive
It has been a very long time since I posted. So, what is going on with me? The usual.
I am almost finished with my Associates. I am going to go talk to Advising and see what is left. I know math and science, but I want to check into taking the CLEP exam for those and which tests I need to take. I finished my World Lit class with an A. And the cool part is that the teacher wants to use my final essay as an example of a “perfect” essay: well written, well reseached and cited: 100/100. Of course I said yes, I would be honored. That was a nice boost to the ego.
Nancy and Matt have had one of the most beautiful baby girls I have seen in a very long time. Evelyn (Evie) is gorgeous. Mom and Dad are doing well. But they could probably tell you better. Go read their blog.
Let’s see. What else.
