One Pudgy Puppy.....

Our youngest dog Duke is no doubt a very special little guy. He is a little antagonist who always gets what he gives. He has the deepest bark of all of our dogs including our Chocolate lab/giraffe. When you tell him it is bedtime or that it is time to come in before he is ready, he flops onto his back and looks all cute as if to say "they won't be able to resist me now" .

Our "little" Duke is also the pudgiest of our puppies. We are hoping that he runs the extra weight off but for now, he is one pudgy puppy. He proved that point this evening. I heard noise in the kitchen and Dave went to check it out. When Dave said "Angel?" I had to look for myself.

This is what I saw!! Duke was trying to get into our dining room through the chair barricade and got stuck between two rungs on a chair!!! It took Dave a good 15 to get him out. It wouldn't have taken that long but he kept having to stop and laugh! I wish I would have had my camera ready when I first walked into the kitchen. Both Elvis and Little Kitty were looking at him like, "Man, you're in TROUBLE!"

Thank God for pets and their crazy antics!!!

RANT SESSION

I have had it up to HERE with with people complaining about how Carrie Prejean, Miss California is a terrible person. The fact that she is against gay marriage and stated her opinion during the Miss USA pageant is admirable! Most everyone on that stage would have answered Perez Hilton with "I am all for it!" no matter what they really thought. Now even Keith Olberman of CNN had to put out his 2cents worth. It's called FREEDOM OF SPEECH!!!! She had every right to say what she believed. Obviously there are ALOT of Californians who feel the same way she does or else Proposition 8 wouldn't have been voted down!

I believe the term marriage is reserved for a man and a woman. However, I am not God and can not tell people who they should or shouldn't fall in love with. I have quite a few gay and lesbian friends and wouldn't wish them a lifetime of struggle and financial and legal hardships

It makes me very sad to think of how our country has lost moral ground. Everyone thinks that being "progressive" is a step in the right direction. From where I stand, "progressiveness" looks alot like "do whatever you want to". Don't want that baby? Have an abortion! Want to sleep with your sheep? Go ahead--do whatever you want! Why? Because we're "progressive"! I do not believe that equality needs to go so far as to allow people to lead the most liberal of lives. Excessive liberalism will have a consequence. It's like when a kid is told not to eat too much candy by his mother. But he thinks he knows best and eats too much candy. What is his consquence? A sick tummy. I don't know what our nations' consequence will be, but I can guarantee it will be MUCH, MUCH worse than a tummyache.

Addicted to Uppercase Living!

Taking off the Corn, North Dakota style!!!!

Last fall brought us rain, rain, and yes, more rain! We were fortunate enough to take our corn crop off last December. It was very wet and we spent a small fortune drying it but it was off and we had peace of mind in knowing that. David's cousins, well I will let YOU decide!!!

These pictures were taken April 11, 2009 by Bill Hodous. These are 2 of his Brother-in-laws Doug and Paul Becker, David's first cousins. They farm northeast of Devils Lake, north of Crary. They had to put caterpiller tracks on the combine and grain cart but it got the job done and no one even got stuck! Look at how deep the water is!!!

New Brayden Pics!

I just wanted to add a few new pics of our favorite little man!!! Enjoy!!
