Back to hobbies ... and Life

Finally got a decent photo of our black pug. He's a beut! He has to think about things alot before dealing with them. He has to sniff and sniff and sniff on a spot and think about what it all means. While the boston terrier would just take a quick sniff and head out looking for things to eat or things to chase. The collar he wears has lots of spikes on it ... just to keep Sheba from chewing on it or using it to pull him around.

Slow start on Christmas Decorating

This is our Christmas tree ... strangely enough, it's still alive
It's been sitting out in the front yard since last Christmas.
Still in the same little pot we bought it in at WalMart last year.
But it kept blowing over, so we set the pot inside this yellow bucket ... then after it rains, we have to go out, take the pot out of the bucket, dump all the water out of the bucket, and let the pot drain.
That's all we've done for the tree ... no idea why it isn't dead.
We have a bag of tiny ornaments for it ... sitting on the dining room table ... maybe they will get together with the tree one of these days ...

Yo Bro....I have 5 little fake trees across the top of my piano...grandkids can't destroy them there....I cheated...last year I just bunched them together and put them in an empty trash cans we stored toys in and put a big black trash bag over them...I did take off the glass balls first..but left the lights and such on....so I just took them out, unrolled them across the piano and .....Wahla ....!!! Only one strand of lights has issues...and since I like a little tree with my lights you'd never know !!

lol, the year toby was in kuwait. i bought a cute little fake tree that has fiber optic lights, ornaments, and when you plug it in, it rotates on it's base and is probably as tall as your tree.
in fact i still have it just in case.
