Thanks for the warm welcome Lady X. We've been lurkers for years but just started posting. I'm looking forward to being here more often now and enjoying being a part of the "family".
Updated pictures posted.
Seems like Marissa now gets all the camera time. :)
I'm glad LouieMax came home safely. He's so big now!
He looks a lot different than when I first introduced him, doesn't he?
He is too big to let into the house very often. He was in for awhile this morning and managed not to break anything. :)
Well thank you very much MiLadyX...
Darksheare! Report to the Mess Hall!
Darksheare! Report to the Mess Hall....hurry, please!!
Hushpuppie!! Quit taking pictures!! It's for eating not for lookin'..
I'll stand guard while Darksheare eats...and then he'll do same for us.
Thank you kindly LadyX!!
Had to do an emergency machine dump due to thunderstorms rolling over my area.
Yowch.
I'm back.
Watch your step! Our planet operates on a 24-hr rotation cycle...wha....? oh!
I didn't know she was using your old watch...3 stooges special!! {grin!}
Works for me!
*Chuckle*
and you managed to get here with one second to spare!
As you can see, your assistance with sustenance is needed,
if you please....an occifer and his missus deign to dine with us,
and we all will take turns guarding his 
while he sups.
[No - you needn't worry about your attire - they have been
forewarned you are...kinda...well...'out there!']
Audie Murphy. :)
Oh Amy...that is so wonderful that LouieMax came home. Wonder if there are going to be little baby LouieMax's fromping around in a few months. The pictures are really cool (and I seem Mr.JA kept the stray...does that mean he's here to stay too???? :o)
Thought I'd be late.
*embarrased*
Audie Murphy looks like a great little angel.
Millie was happy to see LouieMax but she still wants him to know that she is top dog. She is 6 and he was 1 in May.
We need to come up with ways to keep him in our yard. I tried tying him once and he chewed thru the rope.
We need to put 5 foot chain link around our small orchard and cement all around. We may need to remove the 4 foot chain link in the back and replace it with 5 foot. He can go over the 4 ft but has quit jumping after we put some wire on the lawn next to the fence. We are even looking into an electric fence.
It was quite a surprise when LouieMax showed up early this morning. A VERY nice surprise. He has a few more scrapes on his nose which will leave scars. It looks like he may have been trying to dig under someone else's chain link fence. He is also limping a little but it does not seem like anything to worry about.
I think Junior is here to stay. PrissyMissy loves him and he is the right size for her. LouieMax tries to give her a little kiss and he knocks her down. :)
This morning, she asked him if he had a good adventure. He just gave her a big smooch. :)
Hi Amy. It's wonderful to see a happy ending and know that your baby is back home. My two are like children and are so spoiled....almost as much as my DH. I found a neat website and thought it might come in handy for finding a FREE fence. I've used it several times and you can find and give away just about anything for free.

When we were stationed in Germany, Hushpuppie started and ran a USO Canteen for the soldiers and family members of our area. And, this was no small task either! She did a fantastic job too! She also served as a newsletter editor for the region. Yep...this was awhile ago...before the days of the internet. Yes ma'am, she made one fantastic Army Wife!!
Although we still dearly miss the Active Duty life, we are still close to the military way of life and choose to continue to support them in every way we can.
HOOAH!
Yes, I know. I've spent the afternoon writing up my version of your visit. I have a feeling it will get edited before it gets posted. LOL.
Well hey there Hushpuppie. Glad to see another Southerner arrive. Aquamarine lives in Ga. too. I have lived there in the past (Hotlanta). Born and raised in Tenn/Ala. Why am I in WV? Don't ask. It's a long story. Welcome finally to the family.
