Feeling Lucky?

So, yeah...Everyone is trying their luck around here. :) I rarely participate in the lotto. I have the wonderful Irish unlucky luck when it comes to chance. But, what the hell.

To tell you the truth, I wouldn't mind enough money for a nice down payment on a house and a trip up to PA to visit my Gram.  I don't think that's asking for too much. Are you listening universe? :)

Seriously, what would you do with a bajillion bucks? Go insane, probably.

Anyone else feeling lucky?

I know Kodee is! I love my pound puppy. We've had her two months today. A great day to buy a lotto ticket.

 

Sickly Kodee

When we brought Kodee home, she was just starting heart worm treatment. On Tuesday, we brought her in for the last round.  Kodee has been miserable for the past few days.


We have been babying her for most of the week.  I think her runny nose could fill a bucket.  Little by little she is getting back to her normal silly self.

But to top off the lameness of the week...I burnt the last pizza I had that my parents brought me back from Pennsylvania.  BOO!

 
My glorious pizza turned pitch black.  I turned on Broil to melt the cheese better, my first time using the setting...And I didn't realize it would melt the cheese so quickly. D'oh.  Luckily, I'll get more when we go up and visit my Gram this summer.  (We seriously fill up about three coolers full of this). It's one of the staples of our trips.  We always have to have pizza and coney dogs when we go to New Castle.  I love food traditions. When we visit my husband's grandmothers in Georgia, we drive about 30 minutes to get Jimmy's Hotdogs. EVERY...SINGLE...TIME.  I should have known we were meant to be together when we both had family hotdog spots. 

 On a good note.  Kodee is feeling better today.  See!

Sketching Feathers

An idea came to for very near future painting or ink drawing...Maybe a combo of both.  Anyway, I'm toying around with the idea of either a peacock feather or an entire peacock.  

My ugly ducking draft idea for feathers. :)

Yeah, it's nothing fancy, but my prelims never are.  

And here's Kodee being oh so cute loving her car rides. She and Namath come and pick me up from work sometimes. Kodee makes herself comfortable on my lap.  My 45lbs lap dog. :)

Puppy Love

I finally have a fur baby!!!

Namath talked our landlord into letting us have a dog. (We're the most responsible tenants ever - seriously.)

We met Miss Cody on our first day volunteering.  She was so cute and shy. I renamed her Inky because of her stripes. "Inky" quickly became one of our favorites.

Around St. Patrick's Day when we came to walk the pups almost all of our favorites had been adopted. Yay!  But it left us a little bummed we couldn't see our buddies anymore.  "Inky" and Murphy were left, but Murphy is too big for our current place. :(  "Inky" would be a great fit though.

After we walked all of the pups, Namath took "Inky" out to play again. They were two peas in a pod goofing off.  That's when Namath said he couldn't take it if she ended up with a different family.

So, he spoke with our landlord, and I brought her home on St. Patrick's day.  We weren't prepared for a dog, but thankfully I have friends with animals and they hooked us up with the essentials. 

Introducing...

 Kodee Beulla White

We reverted back to the name "Cody" because Inky White doesn't sound nice together.  What's with Beulla?  I thought it was a good southern name since Namath is from Southwest Georgia, and she is a southern dog...  I read the name Beulah in Gone With The Wind. :)

 

ABSOLUTE CUTENESS!!

She's doing real well, and will be enrolled in doggy obedience school next month.  Kodee will be the smartest dog on the block.
