Snow Dogs

Polly & Penny had their first winter storm when we visited China Grove in December. Here they are learning what cold toes feels like.


We All Must Sacrifice

I got this in an email recently, and it helps us normal citizens understand the scale that Obama is attempting to pull in front of Americans. It's a complete joke to think this is actually progress. Oh, and he went on another vacation, just a week after the devastation in Japan. If you didn't know, Air Force One costs more than $180,000 per hour to operate. So how is he helping out this country's situation or any other country?

Enjoy this email:
The President ordered the cabinet to cut a whopping $100 million from the $3.5 trillion federal budget!

I'm so impressed by this sacrifice that I have decided to do the same thing with my personal budget. I spend about $2000 a month on groceries, household expenses, medicine, utilities, etc, but it's time to get out the budget cutting ax, go line by line through my expenses, and cut back!

I'm going to cut my spending at exactly the same ratio -1/35,000 of my total budget. After doing the math, it looks like instead of spending $2000 a month; I'm going to have to cut that number by six cents!

Yes, I'm going to have to get by with $1999.94, but that's what sacrifice is all about. I'll just have to do without some things, that are, frankly, luxuries. (Did the pres actually think no one would do the math?)

Polly vs Laser

Polly is over 10 pounds now. Penny, the runt, is three pounds shy of Polly. Enjoy the magic of a laser and a curious pup.
