Before I get into this  story let me just say that Dakota is  not really fond of many people. Esp. the BOYS. He is so JEALOUS of the  grand boys. Now I know this pic looks so sweet but right before taking it Dakota as growling at Caleb! He is a bit better but that kiss is not from love.... it was more like, "okay Mom, I will be nice." He is so jealous that when Caleb is at the house he will sit right with me and don't like Caleb getting close. Caleb usually throws Dakota's play toy across the room so he will jump down and go get it. Then Caleb will rush and sit right next to me! Sweet pic of DJ and Dakota. Truth.....Dakota was wondering what that little thing is.... plus he intends to keep an eye on  DJ so Nana don't pick him up. DJ napping again and Dakota is making sure he don't go anywhere. Look at Dakota's eyes.....he is not happy about DJ touching him! But s...

B is  for boys! My boys. Grandsons.. Braden in the red, Caleb in green and DJ in white. I can always be looking at them while at work! Thanks for stopping in, Pam

Even to this day I leave the  room Dakota  is going to follow me. I often wonder why but I think he is afraid I will sneak out of the house without him. He can be laying on the other end of the couch sleeping and the ears never go down. I will sneak up slowly not making a sound... But wide awake he is.... and down he goes to follow! The one that always used to bother me was when I went to the bathroom. And why stand right in front of me while I sat there? I looked it up once and I read that they do that cause they know that most times you are not doing anything with your hands while you sit there.... and they know you will  reach over and pet them!! The times that he followed me to the shower when he was younger really  got me.... he dislikes the bathroom near the tub. So to be close to me he would grab an article of clothes and take it  to the hall and  lay ...

A facebook friend ordered a Batman emblem and a  cupcake painting a few months ago. Came back last week  and ordered these.... A guitar. A crown with Shelbie on it. Pinks, light blue and purple. The painted canvas.. and then purple glitter added. This was painted for my new office. A clock! Thanks for stopping in, Pam

Going to start  an A to Z  post by showing pics that start with that letter. A for  antiques! Thanks for stopping in, Pam

Attitude? Yes, Dakota has one. Monday morning being the worst! And today being Monday was different. He was met at the back gate by  Cheyenne and Klohe. As I opened the gate to let him in the yard, they greeted him with jumping up and down and licking him in the face. He greeted them back with  a  GROWL! Up the deck he goes and at this point he is looking to go in so he can jump up in mom's bed and crawl under the covers. But to add to his attitude this morning, he was unable to do this cause mom made the bed before he got there! Yep, he was not a happy camper! Thanks for stopping in, Pam

Last Monday July 20th, 2015 was my  first day at my new job.... Administrative Assistant  to the Superintendent for the TN School for the Blind. And my office needed a clock.. I would have ordered one. Could have bought one but I decided to  make one. A bit of my personality  for my  office! LOL.... Thanks for stopping in, Pam

He is my buddy. He has hung with me  through thick and thin. When I am sick and hurting from my Fibromyalgia  and just laying around he stays right next to  me all day long. When I had surgery on my shoulder in 2012 he stayed so close to me. When I left the surgical that day my mom took me to her house. I had to sleep in a recliner and Dakota slept on the bed across from the recliner, facing me the whole time. When we went home and I was still  having to sleep in the recliner, he slept there with me. When my mom would come to pic him up to go to her house for a while, he never wanted to leave my side. Yes, he is my bud. Thanks for stopping in, Pam

Okay, so I have NO pics to use to tell this story so I am just posting one of the Dakota! So handsome!! Anyway, Dakota is afraid  of just about everything.  Any loud noise. Any kind of sound that catches him  off guard.  He startles easy. Course most dogs don't like fireworks, Dakota is no different.  Hates them. Hates thunder.  My washer and dryer is in the closet between the living room and the kitchen. The funniest thing to see is  when Dakota is walking from the living room to the kitchen, through that hall and the washer changes cycles! Dakota can't get those legs moving fast enough and his paws slip and slide all over the place. Or the fact that he is afraid to  walk past the broom if I have it propped up next to the wall as you walk into the kitchen. Dakota will not walk past it! And let me start doing some deep cleaning or moving furniture.. he has a fit. Follow...

My mom say's that when  I wear one of these around my neck I look so handsome! The strange thing about it is that I don't mind wearing one. But mom carries it to far and buys them for certain holidays. Like Halloween. And the 4th of July! Now, this is a bit different, I don't like wearing this! See what I mean.....its really hard to walk in this. Thanks for stopping in, Pam

The good thing about having a dog living with you instead of you kids is  they don't  talk back! LOL... Yep, I used to think that. But about four years or so ago Dakota proved me  wrong.  He started to talk back. He started grunting at me. Most times he does it if he  thinks I am not moving fast enough. Like when we get home each day and I go to unlock the door... if I don't get it unlocked and open as fast as  Dakota thinks I should, he grunts. So....like my other children, he does talk back!
