So...Halloween has come and gone this year. I'm disappointed with this year. Our subdivision got larger, yet there were fewer kiddies. I ended up talking with my neighbor most of the night. Turns out he's a good person to know, as he is a manager at the Krispy Kreme!
I'm looking forward to the next holiday, Thanksgiving. My plans are still not solidified yet, but I'm working on it. My mom and sister will not be here, so I'm on my own.

Happy Birthday!
Today is Titan's birthday!! He turns 5 today! Unfortunately, he had a vet appt today, but he's healthy, so it's all good. He weighed in at 99lbs! We went to Petco and got some fun toys and chew bones, and all is well with the world. After that we went for a mile and a half stroll on the greenway. He is now sound asleep, as a good Weim should be!
Happy Birthday, Titan!
Happy Birthday, Titan!

Happy Birthday!
Seein' as how my birthday is being spent primarily alone...I feel the need to sing happy birthday to me:
Happy Birthday to me!
Happy Birthday to me!
Happy Birthday, dear DJ!
Happy Birthday to me!
hehe! I am in a good mood today. It's such a beautiful Fall day today! WONDERFUL!
I met up with a guy friend, Doug, and the two of us and our two dogs walked the greenway for about 3 hours. It was awesome.
I celebrated my birthday early with my family. We went to my favorite restaurant and they even arranged for me to have a Tiramisu cake!! A WHOLE cake of that goodness! It is a beautiful thing! I also got flowers, Irises and Stargazer Lilies. They're beautiful, too!
Today is indeed, a good day! I hope everyone else is having a wonderful day, as well!

Whisky Girl disappoints...
Ok, I'll try to fill in some details on the camping trip.
WG and I decided, fairly last minute, to go camping. We leave around 5pm, still uncertain which campground to grace with our presence. So we must explore our options before it gets too dark. We head up to Sarah's Creek campground and the map we have of it is not complete in our opinion and according to rumors heard there was more offered at this site, so we seek out the validity of these rumors. We head up a Forest Service road in my Rodeo with the back loaded up with two 80lb+ dogs and all our camping gear. We ford a stream a couple times while still encountering campsites. This is where we encountered the scary mountain men camping way back in the woods. None of these were worthy of our purpose this trip so we continued on.
This is when we went off the map. There is probably a good reason why the road was not on the map...it should not have been driven, however my Rodeo handled it without even a hiccup. (Praise God for 4 wheel drive!) We were climbing inclines of more than a 60 degree angle with HUGE holes at least 7" deep to make the ride bumpy on a gravel "road" (if it dare be called a road.) We forded 3 more streams, bottomed out once, but no fear, I got skid plates. WG kept asking if I was sure I wanted to continue, but heck yeah, I was having me some fun! We did notice that a few times there the dogs looked a little worried about the two of us. ;)
So we notice dusk settling in, the headlights were actually being useful, so just before we forded the 6th stream we turned around. (Do the math, I got to drive through moving water 10 times!!) Since we decided not to camp here, we had to go check out the other campgrounds which put us arriving at the final destination next to a beautiful river well past dusk. WG and I got the dogs settled, set up camp, ate supper, made a fire, and drank some sissy wine coolers.
Next day we took it slow. I got both dogs into the river and tossed some tennis balls. That water was COLD! Even the dogs started shivering...eventually. It doesn't matter how cold or tired they are...if a ball is thrown, it MUST be retreived. I think they both slept for about two days after this trip.
Anyhow...this is the run down on the trip, WG, if you think of anything to add, feel free. Embelishments are welcome!

New nephew!!
I now have SIX nieces and nephews for me to hold and love! Daniel James was born September 27 around 6:30pm. He weighed just under 8lbs and 21.5" long. The absolutely awesome part is that I got to cut the umbilical cord... :) I'm spending a couple weeks with my sister helping her while she recovers and gets used to the new "normal".
