My Future Dogs

A Newfoundland Dog named Sailor

My favorite book when I was little
about a Newfoundland named Sailor

An Irish Wolfhound (no name yet..)

A Bernese Mountain Dog named Ooby.

I looovvveeee big dogs. Well, and little dogs. All kind of dogs, really. But big dogs are just so cool. So, when I'm older I want to get big dogs. A Newfoundland named Sailor,-which I got from my favorite children's book about a Newfoundland named Sailor-a Bernese Mountain Dog named Ooby, because they are really pretty dogs and I like that name, and the newest addition is an Irish Wolfhound. See, our neighbors have 2 Jack Russels and just got an Irish Wolfhound named Gunner. He is about 6 months old and he's HUGEEEEE. But, he is sooo sweet, and so cute!! He's not even full grown yet! I don't know a name for an Irish Wolfhound yet...

So, I just wanted to share this, and I have no clue if it will really happen, but right now, I hope so. :]

Random Naturistic-ness. :]

On July 1st, I went up to Canandaigua to my cousin's house for 9 days. I got back 2 days ago. I didn't put any pictures of Melissa's evaluations, because she already did. We also went to Melissa's brother's, -another one of my cousin's-house for a night to see where he lived and stuff. He has 4 dogs and 4 horses, one being a foal named Lightning. :] It was really fun! I took a bunch of pictures and they turned out pretty well. You've probably seen the horse quite a few times ;] on the first picture. That's Daisy, Melissa's horse. And the last picture is one of their chickens in the nesting box. I have some other random pictures that I like of flowers and clouds and stuff which I'm gonna post altogether tomorrow or some time.

Nights in the Barn

We spent two nights in the barn this week. This is a picture taken by my aunt of us in the sleeping bags on the hay. It was petty warm in there, but we had a big fan and light blankets, so it was okay. We played Uno and Mancala, snacked on candy and laughed A LOT. haha

Sounds

This is a really weird post. It's also random. Also, there's no pictures.

See, last night my cousin and I slept in her barn on the hay with sleeping bags. We had done it last summer too. Well this morning I woke up, just as the sun was coming up. I didn't know what time it was because the clock was wrong. I took a bunch of pictures of Daisy, my cousin's horse, becasue she was sleeping lying down. One of the barn cats then cuddled up with me also and demanded petting. ;] He started purring like a lawn mower. haha. After taking pictures, I laid down again trying to sleep. But, there were a couple things keeping me from that. Because, when something is really quiet, the sounds you do hear are like really loud.

1. Daisy's breathing
2. Daisy's occasional groaning
3. The lawn mower (AKA the cat)
4. The birds

The birds were actually pretty nice and I tried to film their calls, but it didn't come out. There was one bird that just wouldn't stop calling to anotehr bird, and like I said before, since it was all pretty much all quiet, they seemed really loud.

Well, it would have been better if I had put a video up, but I tried, and you couldn't hear anything. So, I know this post was weird and random, but I hoped you weren't too bored. :]

My Sister, Carina

Her surprised face

Her very tired face :]

I don't know what to call this one..haha

Her "dark-side" face

I LOVE THIS PICTURE OF HER!! SHE LOOKS SO PRETTY!!

Her "Know it all" face :P

Her coooool face

Her "OMG! I AM SO SCARED" face

Her "I'm just so happy" face

Her "Be scared of me" face

Well, again, I was looking through my pictures folders, and found Carina! :] my sister. Awhile ago, we were sitting at the kitchen table and she was making some of her lovely faces for the camera. : P
She's 15 by the way. Right now, she's visiting a friend in upstate New York. I am in upstate New York right now also, but I made this post while I was still home so that I can post while I'm here. I'm taking lots of pictures, so when I get back, I'm gonna have a couple of upstate posts!

Well, the pictures and captions are pretty much the whole post idea thing so I don't have much to say. I'm might post one or two more times before returning home, so keep checking back! Thanks!

Me riding

I don't know if you remember, but I did a post on my friend, Michaela, for her birthday. I told you she had gotten a horse for her birthday, named Indigo, and that I didn't have pictures yet. Well, I have had them for awhile, and just remembered them. The pictures are of her horse. Unfortunately, she broke her leg recently and couldn't ride him for a long time. It's still broken, but soon she'll be able to ride again. Before breaking her leg, I came with her to the place where her horse is boarded and took pictures and stuff. She let me get on for a little while and ride, which you can see on the last picture. My face isn't very nice, I know, but it was the best one I had of me riding him. Don't you love the lead rope and halter? I got them for her, the halter was for her birthday, and the lead rope was a "Congratulations on getting a horse" gift. Well, hope you like the pictures!
