Moving Great Granny

Great Granny had a fall in her house and with lots of confusion about what happened, she ended up in the hospital.  This was not the first time...or even 3rd time this happened, so Mom made the difficult decision to move her into Assisted Living.  It was very heart breaking for Granny because she couldn't remember what happened and why she was there, but once she was settled in her new home, she fit right in.

WHS and I drove down to help mom and dad take care of Granny.  WHS got to stay with Gambo and Poppy while I stayed with Granny in the hospital.

Getting settled with BD.

The gas station on the way to Hobart.  Cool Indian Buffalo.

Because we went down to get her all settled in her new home, we were not able to make it to her Birthday 2 weeks later.  But she had a really nice birthday celebration!

All the Dogs

There are so many pictures of the dogs.  The boys take a picture at every cute pose.  And there are lots of cute and funny poses.  Just check them out.

Our house was so small and I say that that is when the dogs took over our house and our bed.  Not necessarily a good thing.  But we were short on space...

They really do love each other.

Unbeknownst to Ollie, he had a large stick stuck in his ear....(crazy dog)

She does own a dog bed.  Like a REAL bed for a DOG.

Contortions...

There's a dog in there somewhere...

As you can see.  So many dog shots.  They are too cute not to share, but too many to drag out.  These pups sure are loved.  So much that they are upset when they don't get lots of attention.  They LOVE attention.

Vintage

We interrupt this blog to bring you some vintage pics.  Do you recognize them?

Very vintage.  Left to Right Monty Garrison (Dad's uncle), Vovo (Dads grandfather) and Dad.  Circa I don't know when.  A LONG time ago!
