Update on Cracker

Cracker is home. Yea! However, her front left leg is broken on the elbow part of her leg. Dr. Jones said that if he did surgery on her leg it would be anywhere from $700 - $800 and that if an orthopedic surgeon did the surgery it would cost from $1500 - $2500. So he and Blake talked about it and we decided to bring her home and put her in a pin for approximately a month to six weeks. She may learn to adapt to the leg and learn to live with it we will just have to see. But for now we are happy she's at home. Until the next time....May God ricly bless you and your family.

Cracker...
Cracker is our dear sweet great pyrennes dog who looks like a big white polar bear. Blake says he believes she weighs at least 125 lbs. Pretty big. She is the sweetest, most laid back dog we have ever had and we all love her very much. This afternoon she decided to cross the road right in front of a very dear friend of mine. Well.... my sweet friend hit her, after swerving to try and miss her. The girls were out playing b-ball and saw the whole thing. Blake went out to check on her and she finally got up. He took her to Dr. Jones. She could possible have a broken front leg (around the elbow). Dr. Jones is keeping her over night to make sure there is no internal bleeding. He is going to do an x-ray on her leg and hopefully it is not broken. If it is broken he said she would have to see an orthopedic and that if that was the case that was not something he would do to his own dog. However, we can decide. He said with her age and her weight that even if they were able to fix her leg (if it's broken) she would still have a hard time getting around. I say all this to ask for your prayers.... I know she isn't human but my God says ask so I am asking and I hope that you all will too. Kel's heart is breaking. Please pray for Cracker, our family, and my dear sweet friend because it is just about to get the best of her. Whatever happens we will certainly deal with, and we know that this is part of life, but we would so like for Cracker to come home tomorrow or Monday. Thank you all and may God richly bless you all.

Beauty Pageant Picture: I only have time to post a couple of pictures of the Beauty Pageant. Hope you enjoy, I will make a slide show later on when I find out how. Okay...so I am not the best photographer in the world. Maybe Tammy will put some on her blog. The first one is a pic of "Kel's" best friend.

Contestant Number 8 Miss Kelsi Elizabeth Scruggs was named Miss Photogenic for the Relay For Life Beauty Pageant. Thanks to Tammy Holt for such a pretty picture to enter. I will post more later with lots of pics.

Wow!! Blogging certainly takes a lot of time. I decided last night that I would let "B" take Kel to dance tonight and that I would take that time to change my blog. So...I got a new background (thought that was fun) and then I added some new music to my blog. EASY as pie! I thought I would have a hard time adding music but I didn't. I also deleted my lilypie "stuff" on accident, but I think I can go back and get new lilypie (if I decide to). Well...in a few weeks it will be Valentine's and that is always fun- trying to decide Valentine's to buy and what kind to make for all of our friends. It is fun! I am pretty much just rambling. Although, I do want to say Happy Birthday to Gail on January 30. I hope you have a wonderful day, Gail! The girls all say Happy Birthday, MIMI! Well...Beauty pageant this weekend, I will let you all know the result asap. We just hope she has fun and enjoys it and if she wins well... that will just be an added bonus. Until next time...God Bless You!

OOPS...I think I left out a few numbers on the thing "about our hubby's" OH well sorry!

Contestant #... is Miss KES

Okay...Angie and Carrie---This one is for you. I really don't have anything going on right now to post about. Kel is going to be in a beauty pageant the end of January. This is a pic of her in her dress. That is none other than "B" standing in the background. He is not real crazy about her or any of the girls being in a beauty pageant, but he said she could do it. It really hurts his feelings that she is growing up. Of course it does mine too. I could really cry when I think about how old she is and how within a blink of an eye she will be going off to college. Okay...Carrie I'm going to answer some of the questions that you had on your post. About our hubbys...1.What is his name? David Blakely. Who eats more? He does! 3. Who said, "I love you" first? He did! 4. Who is taller? He is. Who is more sensitive? Me, definitely. 7. Who does the laundry? Me, me, and me! 8. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? He does! 9. Who pays the bills? He does. 10. Who cooks more? I do, although if I ask him to make Beef stew, chili, breakfast (he makes THE best sausage gravy) or grill then he will cook. 11. Who is more stubborn? I would say him, he would say me. 12. Who is the first to admit they are wrong? Probably him even though sometimes I may have to convince him Ha! 13. Who has more siblings? Neither, he has a brother and I have a sister 14. Who wears the pants in the relationship? We are both strong willed- but I would have to say that he wears the pants. 15. What do you like to do together? Just being at home together is nice b/c we don't get to do that very often. 16. Who eats more sweets? It really depends on what it is. I found him quiet sweet when we first met b/c he would eat a snickers bar with me. Silly, I know. 17. Guilty Pleasures? He has so many...working in his shop, hunting, and fishing... me on the other hand I guess it would be blogging and being with the girls, and oh yes, walking with my good friend Sherry. 18. How did you meet? My cousin Angie introduced us. He was so sweet... He use to call and leave me a message to call him if I was up at 12 midnight (his work schedule crazy) of course I would set the clock for midnight and get up and call him. The things we do when we are in love. I wouldn't change it for the world. 21. Who proposed? He did -at Effie's Mexican Rest in Enterprise, Al. He froze my ring in an ice cube and had the waiter to put it in my water without me even knowing about it. 23. Tag you’re it. Who do you tag? Angie, Tammy, and Julie
