Sage here!
We have power again!  Just as Ron came home from work some guy named Nipsco came and got the power back on for us.  The power was on for about a  half hour when we heard Boom  Boom  Boom and off went the power.  We all thought the guys out trimming the trees off the wires had been electrocuted.  Even that Nipsco guy came running to see what happened. But thankfully some wires touched and shorted out the main fuse and within a half hour we were back on.  Oh yes it's great to have the A/C back on.  Being a black Lab I appreciate the A/C.  Ron's not happy about all tree limbs in the yard but I love having all these sticks to chew on.  And a great big two paws up for Rick and Pat next door for letting me come over and play in their house.  They had a generator and A/C.  Plus ruby and I got to play together.  That's all for now
Till next time!

Quick post here.

No power at home. Came home to find two large limbs had come down on the power line in my back yard.  The whole neighborhood is without power.  We are now playing hide and seek with Nipsco.  They are hiding and we can't find them.  The Nipsco web page says it my be Thursday afternoon before we get power.

Something I noticed is my yard is just covered with leaves but the neighbors yards are not.  We must of had a small micro bust go right through my yard.  The picture above doe's not show how covered my yard is in leaves.

Thanks to Rick & Pat next door who have a generator and are going to take care of Sage today as it is going to get up around 100 degrees.

Sage here!

We had a slow weekend.  Not doing much but hanging around the house.  Ron was doing a little house cleaning because his sister Peggy will be here next week.  She will come in on Saturday and stay for about two weeks.  I know Ron is looking forward to having her here.  I asked if Kacey is coming but she is not going to make this trip.  Oh well.  I'll have to send her a flea-mail.  Ron & I spent some time out in the yard doing yard work.  The grass is not looking very good.  It is so dry and the weeds love this kind of weather.  Ron keeps blaming me for the yellow spots in the back yard.  I don't understand how I could be causing them.  Here is a little tidbit.  Ron gets very upset if you try to bury a bone in the back yard.  I guess I should of done it in the front yard.  I did find a new game.  When Ron waters the flowers it's fun to try to get a quick drink from the hose.  Sometimes Ron thinks he's funny and squirts me with the hose.  He just lost another sock for that one.  Sunday evening we watched a very good movie called Under Dog.  I thought it was all so cool so I went and got a cape and put on some underwear.  FYI do not try leaping of the kitchen table because this will not not make you able to fly.  I should be feeling better in a day or two. 

Ron and I have this game we play.  He keeps picking up my toys and putting in a box.  I keep taking them out and spreading them around the house.  What I really like to do is put some toys on the floor right outside the shower so when he steps out he steps on one.  It's kind of fun watching him hop around the bathroom mumbling things.  The other day after setting up my toys I added a little fart has I stepped out.  As he opened the shower door I heard he say "oh my god" and then he stepped right on my chew bone.   You couldn't  of asked for a better start to the day. 

Time for me to go.
Till next time!

Hi everyone!

I finally get a chance to sit down and catch up a little after our vacation.  My good friend Mike and I drove a Kia to Pensacola.  This rental car was good on gas mileage but hard on the back.  The drivers seat was designed to keep you squirming the whole time you were in it.  And you felt every little bump along the way.  My back was so soar after driving in that car.  Any way Sage was great on the trip and slep most of the way.  We drove thought the night and got there before lunch.  So off to Hooters we go.  Yes Hooters!  The Hooters in Pensacola is right on the sound so you and sit on the deck and look at the water.  A small beach is right in front of Hooters also as you can see in the picture.

There seams to be a nice view were ever you look.

Thursday night we went to band on the beach.  We sat in our lawn chairs and listened to a good local band called Lektric Mullet.  They played allot of music we enjoyed and the the crowd really enjoyed them.  People were up dancing and having a good time.   We brought a cooler with refreshments and some goooooood homemade cake my sister Peggy made.

One night we had a shrimp boil.  This is were you cook the shrimp, sausage, corn and potatos all in the same pot.  Then you dump it out in the middle of the table and go at it.   If you leave hungry it's your own fault!

The shrimp we got came from Joe Patty's. You can't get sea food any fresher than Joe Patty's.

The fishing boats are parked right next too the store.

As you can see below my brother and sister are so much fun to go out to eat with.  Well OK after they get done texting.  We ate way too much but had allot of fun.

This is my brother Dave, myself and my friend Mike at the restaurant Flounders.  I so glad Mike came along.  We had a great time!

We also saw the Blue Angles while sitting on the beach.

Sage and Kacey got to spend a bunch of quality time together.  I think I can safely say it was something Kacey will never forget! 

Well that's enough for now.  You can also see more at my sisters web page.

Later

Sage here!

Well we are back from Pensacola Florida.  We had a great time seeing everyone and enjoying the sites.  The Blue Angles did a show while we were there and man are they gooooooood!  They fly just 18 inches from each other! 

            

 

Now I have a bone to pick here.  I get down to Florida and find out I can't get wet because of my stitches.  Now some very nice people at the Pensacola Animal Hospital took my stitches out for free.  They said I still needed about a week before I could get in the water.  Bummer!  I was ready to hang ten on some narly waves.  So I thought I would go work on my tan and soak in some rays at the beach. I even got a bikini wax!  Ok it's just where they shaved me for my little operation I had. Anyway then I find out there are no dogs allowed on the beach.

Where do people get off say dogs can't go on the beach!..

Oh they say we may poop on the beach.

I don't think we dogs left this behind!

When is the last time you heard of a sea turtle dieing from eating something  a dog put in the ocean.

Ok lets be clear about this!  This is not dog poo on the beach!  This is Pensacola beach covered in oil.  And no it was not caused by a poodle with too much sun tan oil on.  This was due to BP not K9!

When is the last time you saw a dog passed out on the beach surrounded by beer bottles.

I saved the best or should I say the worst for last.  Have you ever heard of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch?  This is a large area where trash has been trapped by the ocean currents.  Much of it plastic.  Humm  And they are worried about a dog pooping on the beach!

We dog just want to have some fun in the sun. 

Well that's all for now>

Till next time!

We are back!

But too tired to type much.

Pensacolas new air conditioned farris wheel

Beach time. !

more to come soon.

Hi from Florida!

Sage & I are here in Pensacola.  Along with us is my good  friend Mike. We drove though the night and got here aound lunch time on Saturday. My brother Dave is here too from Monticello.  Below is a picture of my Brother right after he put up a sun shelter.  The sun shelter was a gift to our family from our friend Betty  It will be nice for the sunny days down  on the beach.

Sage needed to catch a short nap after the 14 hour drive down here.  She was very good and slept most of the time on the way down here.  So why did she need that nap?   Can't say Kacey is real happy to to see her.  Sage wants to play and Kacey is not ready to play with a lab puppy.  Kacey is an eight year old pug.

This is a wooden statue that greets you when you enter Joe Patty's.  This is a fish market that is fantastic.  We bought shrimp for a shrimp boil for tonight.  Man was it good.  You can't get it any fresher than at Joe Patty's

After dinner we went to the beach and took a little drive along the coast.  Hope to get to spend some time at the beach Monday.   Mike, Dave and Dad are going to the navel museum.   I have been there a bunch of times so I'm going to pass.  My sister Peggy wants to do some things together.  Bet it has something to do with shopping! 

Out of time so we will see you later!

This will be me soon!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY FROM RON & SAGE

Our Weekend

Hi every one! 
Sage and Ron here.  We thought we would work together on this post. 
Ron:  Well as you can see Sage has gotten the word that we are going to Florida.
Sage:  Cowabunga dude! This is going to be totally Rad man!  I cant wait to hit the waves.
Ron: My friend Mike, Sage and I are going to drive down to see my family for a week.
Sage:  I'll take the first shift of driving!
Ron:  I don't think so.  Sage is doing much better now and has bounced back from her surgery.
Sage: Fixed yah right!  195 degrees out and I can't go in the pool because of my stitches.

Sage:  Here is a picture of Ron's new boat.  He says we are going fishing.  One question what are fish?

Ron:  I sold my old boat and bought this one from Mike.  It is smaller and easier to handle.  

Sage:  Ron almost had a heart attack when he went to buy a gas can for the boat and they want $70.00 for it.

Ron;  I think I will try Ebay!

Sage:   We spent the afternoon pulling weeds, trimming bushes and cutting grass.

Ron:   What's this we stuff?  You napped in the yard while I worked.

Sage :  Well you wouldn't let me drive the tractor.

Ron: I got the weeding done before the storm and did the rest later in the afternoon.

Sage : What a storm! Ron & I stood on the porch and watched it rain.  I thought we were going to need Ron's boat there for a while.

Ron: Hey our tree has some leaves on it.
Sage : You mean that stick is really growing?
Ron: That stick is a Bald Cyprus tree and you tried to run off with it before I planted it.
Sage:  It looked like a stick to me.

Ron : Here are the flowers along the driveway.

Sage Ron was weeding these before the rain hit.

Ron:   It was HOT!!!

Sage: You were so sweaty you looked like you got caught in the rain.  You know my sense of smell is much stronger than yours.

Ron: I don’t like where this is headed.

Sage:  You needed a shower!

Ron: Thanks Sage!

Ron:  Here is the front porch.

Sage Very tropical looking!

Ron:  Thanks but how would you know whats tropical?

Sage : I watch the discovery channel
Ron Well thats all for now!
Sage : Till next time!
