I just saw a news conference with Scott Brown in John McCain’s office just now and he mentioned that Tricare cut! I love that guy!!

[GodBlessUSA]

Thanks Amy! :)
This is so cute. Funny, this pup looks similar to the dog I watched yesterday. This dog was like babysitting a toddler on sugar. Energetic is an understatement. LOL
Have a wonderful day!

Well Ms. yorkie according to the radar map it appears y’all are gettin’ some rain today. Since that deer is a desert critter and probably doesn’t cotton to having a damp butt, are you gonna let it come in to drink that coffee?

[GodBlessUSA]

That’s just amazing - you don’t live far enough up into the hills (I thought) for that to be normal. You are one lucky lady to have as much wildlife at your door as you do.

"you gonna let it come in to drink that coffee?"

He was too shy to come in,
So, I left his coffee outside,
And, he drank every drop.

BTW, it is snowing up here (mixed with rain).

ELETELEPHONY

Once there was an elephant,
Who tried to use the telephant -
No! No! I mean an elephone
Who tried to use the telephone -
(Dear me! I am not certain quite
That even now I've got it right.)

Howe'er it was, he got his trunk
Entangled in the telephunk;
The more he tried to get it free,
The louder buzzed the telephee -
(I fear I'd better drop the song
Of elephop and telephong!)

~~Laura E. Richards (1850-1943)

"You are one lucky lady to have as much wildlife at your door as you do.

Yes, it is beautiful to see God's creatures so close.

But, sometimes, it is scary
like when a javelina boar tried to break into my back porch room.
That's when I stopped feeding them.
And, I quit feeding the coyotes,
when they started licking their chops, whenever they saw my yorkie.

Good morning Miss Yorkie.....I think that deer wants some ham!!! lol

Got any snow your way yet? *hugs*

[yorkie]

Hi, Ms. Connie!! (HUGS back a’cha!)

Yes, we have been having snow/rain all morning. I just heard on the scanner, that there is 1 1/2 feet of snow on one of the switchbacks. Flagstaff is getting whupped~!

[HiJinx]

Now’s the right time to be living in the Valley, I guess.

Unless you really really like the snow...

We’re still a little too low to have snow. The snow-level is up around 7000’ or so down here.

This is so darling! I have that little boy in my graphics file. He’s a doll and that is the cutest little poem!! I wonder if I could memorize that.....LOL!

[yorkie]

Jinxy - turn on the weather channel, if you can. They just reported that Tucson is under a blizzard warning.......(maybe they’re just ‘kidding’).

And, Sedona will be getting 60mph winds later this afternoon. (Up here, they call it “Small Dog Warning” - meaning, if your dog weighs under 20 lbs., he’d better be on a heavy chain, or he’ll blow away.) LOL!

[AZamericonnie]

I was wonndering if you might not see some of the white stuff Jinx....is it pouring your way?

“Small Dog Warning”.....too fun!:)

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Jaycee.
I love that little guy.
He is a rerun from November, 2008.
I agree about the poem but I doubt that I could memorize it. LOL

Hope you are having a Terrific Thursday.
We are expecting a large storm later this morning.
Then another tomorrow ... no rain for the weekend. Whew!!!

[jaycee]

Yorkie, I knew you would appreciate this! I can't remember if you were at Amy's Place when I posted this deer. I was discussing one of my sons who loved to hunt and the other son loving to feed them. He had several apple trees in his yard and he caught this one from inside his garage. He named it "brothers" as he said he felt one was watching out for the one who was eating the apple!

[jaycee]

Amy, that is so sweet! Thanks so much!

I have been hearing bulletins about the awful California rains and flooding. I looked at a map of Central California last night after Lori was trying to explain where you two lived. I got some idea~~~LOL!

[JustAmy]

Wow ..... that is amazing, Yorkie.
For me, wildlife coming to my door would be scary.
I get excited when we see coyotes behind the yard in the back.
They are probably 150 feet away.
They just pass by (and upset Millie and Max) on their way who knows where. :)

Wishing you a delightful Thursday.

[JustAmy]

In the valley, when we get rain it just saturates the soil. No real problem except it is a mess and you better stay on the road when driving. Otherwise you will need to call the yellow truck. LOL

That is a great picture of your son’s deer. They are beautiful animals.

A few years ago, we went to Yosemite. There were several deer along the roadway. People were stopped and some were out of their cars feeding them. Guess they do not realize these are wild animals. We stopped to watch but did not get out of our car.
