The battle for the sock. By Yvonne Jacobson

This has gone on for as long as I can remember. Lola has this obsessiong with my socks....and only my socks. She doesn't do this to dad...only me. It never fails.....everyday it's a fight to the finish for my sock. Lola WILL NOT give up until she has tugged, pulled and ripped at least one of my socks off. Then once it's off she shakes it around like she's ripping it apart...I mean she growls and everything. Don't get me wrong, she's not vicious in anyway but it's like she's showing me she's boss. I can't tell you what drives her into this mad rage but something comes over her the minute I take my shoes off. I can see it in her eyes......she watches every move I make and then pounces on my foot like a lion attacking it's prey. It was funny at first but since I've had to several pairs of socks since January I knew I had to put my foot down--haha get it "foot-down" ;0)!!! As you can see from the pictures she's got a pretty tight kung-fu grip on it and doesn't let go until it comes off on it's own or I fight her for it!

Anyway, I had to share this tug-of-war match....it's pretty funny how entertaining dogs can be.

P.S. No I wasn't wearing the shoes that are pictured in this photo with my socks either.....just a bit of FYI!! :0)

don't like mommy's socks....must remove!!

Well I guess maybe most of you know our dad is a musician by night. He's currently involved in 3 different bands, two of which play pretty regularly. Anyway, mom found these pictures of him at one his recent gigs and thought you'd like to see them.

Giving it his all! The best drummer this side of Texas!

Dad playing the drums.....he's a nut!

Rainy weather....

This rainy weather sure does make you feel LAZY!! Me & Sophie LOVE lying around all day & it's no surprise that we hate thunder & lighting but we sure do love this gloomy day. Weird but true, it makes it so much nicer to bundle up in my favorite blanket and/or pillow in sophie's case. Just thought I'd share that bit of information.
