THAT'S MICHAEL DRINKING AT THE MILK BAR.

Sunday August 17..2008

Bob was with his parents the past week at the ranch. I had excitement. My sweet friend, Shalena asked me to 'drive fast' to her house to help deliver the most recent litter of American Bulldog puppies. I got there and the first puppy was there. That was 12 noon. The rest of the puppies were born in the following 7 hours. There was 9. Two, sadly were stillborn. We tried and tried to get them breathing. It always breaks my heart when they die. :( But 7 were born so healthy and beautiful! Four males and three females. Enjoy the pictures. It is so fun to go over there every couple days and see how huge they grow, so fast. Lilo, the mom produces more than enough milk for her babies. She could supply milk for two other litters in my eyes. Milkin Momma. It's a good thing. Stunkers, the dad of these babies is proud of his brood. Well, I hope he is. I named one of the boys "Michael Phelps" cuz he was long and cute. And in honor of the 23 year old, 8 gold medal USA Olympic Swimmer winner. Puppies are so great!

On other news, I just finished the wonderful book 'The Shack' by William P. Young. I recommend this book to anyone who has lost a family member. So that's everyone. It is an awesome story of a man, 'Mack' being in the presence of the God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. It is funny, serious, and sad too. I want to read it again I loved it that much. WOW. There is a web site on it to check out...www.THESHACKBOOK.COM . I highly recommend this easy read book.

My sister Barb, text me Friday, telling me she got a tattoo!!!! I immediately called her to ask questions. She got a Heart with her daughter Laurie's initials on top of it. 'LB'. In honor and memory of Laurie . I was so excited for her. I can't wait to see a picture of it on her blog. Congrats Barb. Can't wait to see what her other kids say about it. She wanted me to be the first one to hear about her LB tattoo, since I have 12 now. Pretty cool sis.

We also rented 'THE BUCKET LIST' movie. Truly worth seeing. Keep tissues close by.

Ok, gotta go watch more Olympics. Have a wonderful week, and put god first. Love, Gail...... GO USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
