Our dog Crash went to the bank with me today and he had a boat load of excitement, as we pulled into the bank he spotted a huge deer in the field behind the bank, and on our way home he got to bark at cows and sheep, quite a bit of excitement for a little dog who does not get out as much as he would like. If he got his way he would be able to run loose to bark and pester everything that he sees. But he has to stay either in the house or on a leash when he does get outside and you can tell he hates to be cooped up and he lets us know every chance he gets.

As we were walking the dogs today Diva jumped straight up in the air and freaked out, as I got closer I noticed that we have a six foot long snake in our yard, add this critter to the herd of critters we already have and our zoo is growing rapidly. In recent days we have had a fourth squirrel join the three we already had and the rabbits are thick we even see a deer once in a while. All of this and we live inside the city limits of Nashville, I wounder how many animals we would have if we lived out in the country.

Rabies have reared their ugly face here in the Nashville area again this summer, there have been a rash of cases of Rabies in cats this year. Most years it is more in the wild animals, but this year it has been the cats who are coming down with the rabies. To learn the most about this horrible disease I have went to Pet Wave and their wonderful web site that has so much information on pets and the diseases that pets come down with. Check out their great web site at http://www.petwave.com to get all the information you need to take care of your pets. In our family our dogs are a part of the family and protecting them is a very high priority to us.

Today I can not seem to get my butt in gear, Last night at work wore me down. I drug my butt out of bed about noon and got to work but it is taking all my will power not to go take a long nap. I have walked the dogs a couple of time and thrown the ball for my dog, Buster, for about an hour, but I could do that laying on the couch. I hope I have more energy tonight – if not, it will be a long night at work.
