My Light Project!

Yesterday was a great day and so was today. Yesterday morning, Eileen, Lisa, Della & Roy and Carol, our wonderful volunteers, came out and they walked all of our dogs for us and Tony and I loved it, but not as much as our dogs did! "Thank y'all!"

And while they were out here taking our dogs on fun walks, Paul delivered Rio, a handsome, 1 1/2 year old Yellow Lab mix, to us that we had rescued, because Paul & Marty's friend was dying of cancer, with not much time left and he had asked them to please help him find a home for his beloved, sweet dog before he passed away.

When Rio arrived here, he didn't know what to think and he seemed sad, so Tony put him in Martha Stewart's pen, because O. Henry, her roommate, had moved to Grand Prairie to live on a horse farm and she needed a roommate. Because Tony is so good at matching and pairing up dogs to live together, they became best friends fast and Rio seemed much happier.

This morning Eileen and Kim, another sweet South African woman we know, came out and walked our dogs, because Kim is leaving for England, this coming Tuesday and she wanted to get one more walk in with our super dogs before leaving. So while Tony fed our dogs and I cleaned their pens—they made several dogs real happy. "Thank y'all!"

Early this afternoon Patrick and Margaret came out to meet our dogs, because Patrick wanted to adopt a dog, so his dog would have a companion, because his old dog had recently died. Tony and I really enjoyed visiting with them, as we introduced them to our dogs and told them their stories.

When Patrick met Rio, we told him Rio's sad story and then Patrick started petting him and talking to him and Rio started wagging his tall and then Rio climbed up on the fence and kissed Patrick on the face, so Tony leashed up Rio, because Patrick wanted to take him for a walk to check him out. And by the time Tony had put Rio back in with Martha Stewart, he told us that he really liked Rio a lot, but he still wanted to check out the rest of our dogs.

Patrick also liked Walter Cronkite and after he had taken him on a walk, he told us that he had narrowed it down to Rio and Walter and that he wanted to go home and think about it, because he could not decide who would be the best companion for his dog, but he definitely wanted to adopt one of them and would get back to us within a few days and we totally understood, because they are both great dogs and they would be lucky to live with Patrick and Margaret.

Late this afternoon, Buttermilk took us over to Carol's ranch, because she had put up some Christmas lights inside her beautiful home and I wanted to copy-cat her decorating again, to see how she had strung them, so I could come home and string some up, too.

Needless to say, "I loved what she had done with her tiny, white lights and Tony liked them. So, after a fun visit with Carol, we came home and I started My Light Project, but not for long, because Tony wanted to help me and he ended up stringing them up for me and I love how it looks and Tone likes how they look.

Unfortunately, I've tried taking several pictures of them, but the flash doesn't show how magical it makes "Our Cabin" look and feel, but I will try tomorrow when there is more natural sunlight outside.

Y'all have a great evening and thank you for praying for rain for us, because it has been raining since 3:00!
