A Dark and Foggy Night

[Cue X-Files theme...]

“The, uh, omnipresent low fog hugging the thicket of overgrowth… Wait – is that a hound I hear baying out on the moors?” ~ Scully

Wobbles Needs a Home

Not one of my usual posts but this gorgeous boy stole my heart and I wanted to try to help his foster mom find him a forever home.

Wobbles

Wobbles, a collie mix, was owned by an elderly woman who passed away earlier this month.  Her family was unable to take care of him and he ended up in a kill shelter.  His story got passed along from several websites the day before he was scheduled to be put to sleep.  A network of people joined forces and Wobbles got a Christmas miracle – a wonderful foster home.  Now he needs a forever home.

He is blind and his age is up for debate – some sources said 7 years, some said 11 years.  Whatever his age, his foster mom says Wobbles is “a good boy with loads of personality”.  Being blind isn’t a problem for him, he gets around just fine.  Click here to see a video of him climbing the stairs at his foster home.

He’s housebroken and does well with other dogs and cats.  He is also neutered, up-to-date with his shots, heart-worm negative and has been microchipped.  If you are interested in adopting Wobbles, please leave a comment and I will put you in touch with his foster home.

Christmas 2011

This year’s new ornament is a little Nisse (sans beard) that I crocheted.

Fall Gallery

Click photo for gallery.


Most of these photos were taken at Lake Hickory, the rest are from my neighborhood.  The camera my son gave me has a setting for Fall colors and all but three of these are (resized) as-is off the camera.  They’re a little slow to load.  I saved them in .png format so the compression wouldn’t mess up the reds and blues.

Rain Kissed

I’m combining memes because I really liked the photo I picked out for Watery Wednesday in sepia tones. See what you think…

The Haunted Lake


From ghoulies and ghosties
And long-leggedy beasties
And things that go bump in the night,
Good Lord, deliver us!

Happy Halloween!
