Merry Christmas!

I was playing with our new camera and took this shot. It is Christmas Card perfect! These are Hank's "Bat Ears." He is so cute.

Motorcycle Video

TxDot just released a new video about motorcycle safety for drivers ed. It is fairly entertaining. Note the line: "Thats why your head swivels." (Again, another health educator moment.)

Logs of Dogs!

Miss Aspen looking innocent...we know better!

Lacey closed her eyes!

Hank looking like an outdoor dog. We will get him that backyard someday.

Look Out Austin!

Austin - as you prepare to chase a dream of being in the nba, just remember that there are millions of other kids out there doing the same...like this 5 year old girl.

So keep practicing!!!

Any Good Movies Out There?

Theresa and I were looking for a movie tonight to go see.  Here were our choices by rating at the Bryan theater:

• 7 rated R
• 6 rated PG-13
• 4 rated PG
• 0 rated G

While we are not opposed to seeing movies based on rating alone, it did frustrate me that there we are getting fewer and fewer movies to go see that don't center around sex, drugs, stupid teen crap, or some other useless junk.  What happened to the movies that you could see and not feel like you immediately had to confess your sin?

Anyhow, to try to put a relaxing end to our ultra-stressful week we ended up renting a movie we knew and drinking tea from Chicken Express.

Hank

Did any of you hear about the Montgomery County Animal Shelter dogs? Well, they has such an influx of dogs being dropped off due to Hurricane Ike that they were going to have to euthanize over 100 dogs on Saturday (of last week). The email included a link to photos of the dogs...that was a mistake. I was ready to leave work early and go save a dog. Well, I called and they had such a strong response that they had adopted out all the dogs except 30. They also decided not to euthanize any of them because they had freed up so much room. I breathed a sigh of relief. I had dodged yet another opportunity to pay or $450 pet deposit.

Well, Eric was talking to a coworker today and found out that she had gone and taken 15 dogs from the shelter last Friday. She still had 5 dogs and wanted him to go out to her house to take a look. Well, we went. There were 5 dogs left. Three of them were hyper, one was not fixed and one was calm and fixed. We found a match! We need a calm dog for our little bitty apartment, and we didn't want to pay to get the dog fixed.

Meet Hank. He is about 1 year old. He isn't an Ike dog because he was taken to the shelter back in June. He is calm yet still acts like a puppy. He is great!
