Yep, set a new bar for them to clear ... so they can be "you".
I wish..
Well, not really.
Caring what anyone else thought of me or thought when they saw anything I had or did has never carried any value for me whatsoever , and I've never coveted what anyone else had or did either tho I admit....I did have to wonder a bit, about my place in the universe when I heard Lyle Lovett had married Julia Roberts.
(She couldn't hold on to him of course...I think he was prone to take a gringo honeymoon (or vice versa) , and I guess he's done ok for himself since...you can see her at the end of South Texas Girl video)

Happy Thanksgiving! We will be heading north to the in-laws and leaving the herd in the capable hands of a friend who never had to travel for these kind of things. He and his wife are from here so they get it easy. I love my children but after 5 hours in the car I’ll be ready to sell them to a Chinese Nike factory. Upon my return Cowboy will be put up for sale and Lambert will be going to stay with the friend I bought his mama from. He raised several more bum lambs and wants to try breeding the ewes. Less labor intensive than bottle feeding.
The only thing I’ll be nervous about is leaving the dogs. My in-laws are not dog people, and unless it’s my sister in-laws’ yorkies there are no dogs allowed ( they’ve got more pull than I do). Generally I drop them at my parents on the way but they’re vacationing in China so hopefully my girls are ok for a few days.

It's a real bummer when family doesn't understand that our dogs are a part of OUR family... I'll take any of my dogs over some of my human family members hands down. o_O Hope you have a great visit, safe trip, and get a good price for your kids ;)

Most do, but that doesn't mean your (or my) dogs are part of 'THEIR" family. Their property...their home. They get to set the rules at their place, just as you do at your's and I do at mine.

(I just don't understand tho, why no one allows me to bring my five gal bucket 3/4 full of emotional support/therapy fire ants when I go visit them....the new queens are just sooo cute when they make the workers lock legs in an ant ladder so the queenies can try to climb up the sides.)
