We won the weekly contest

At least that what it says on The Animal Rescue Site homepage! So this means we are in the running for the big 'ole grand prize if a miracle happens. We will continue to vote until April 28th and as Bentley told me this morning, "When that lady from the opera starts singing we'll know if we won again."

 This is the Bentman's "I'm tired of trying to make paws work on that computer. Your turn, Mumma."

Texas Airedale Rescue Team

In my previous post I mentioned that TART (Texas Airedale Rescue Team) is in the Animal Shelter Contest this round and asked for people to vote. So now I'm going to ask again. If you can vote everyday it could help us win the $1000 state prize that might vet three or more Airedales in rescue. Of course the amount of 'Dales helped is contingent on the rescue dog not having any major problems when coming into rescue. Even so, every little bit helps and this contest ends April 28th.

I post the link on the TART page in the social networking site Facebook for people that participate in FB but in case you don't, here is the link:

Too long gone

Big sigh. No specific reason that we have been away from the blogger world but we're back. Speaking of back- the momma's just returned from a week long tour of medical centers in Florida. We were visiting sick family members on both the east and west coast of Florida. We took a short break from the sterile institutions and checked out the manatees again at Blue Springs like we did 4 years ago. This time there were more than 200 in the springs staying warm away from the unseasonably cold weather. Saw a big old alligator too.

Checked out the beach on the Atlantic side and also on the Gulf side but both were too cold to get in but I did spot a dolphin playing in the water.

Met some nice birds on the beach where we had a couple of adult beverages with friends before we left to come home.

And spotted a happy 4-legged with his human relaxing on a bench a few yards away.

Speaking of 4-legged's- Bentley, Roux, Walter, and Bridgette say Hello!

As you can tell in the picture above, the Bentman is still a loudmouth.

I almost forgot. I met these two cuties at our friends the day before we left- Max and George. They gave me some much missed critter time the day before we left to come back home. That George is a toy playing fool just like the Roux.

Anyway- just a short update so you would know we are still alive and kicking on this planet Earth. And if you don't mind, can you please Vote for Texas Airedale Rescue Team in the Shelter Contest at the Animal Rescue Site-
