Sid and Carbon napping


Sid and Carbon had a little nap yesterday. Button is at the other end of the couch.

Button and Carbon looking cute


Button loves fleece blankets and today I guess she was cold.


Carbon got a little jealous so he had to try to up the cuteness.


I think he just wanted to disturb Button, she jumped off the couch right after this. He was whipping her with his tail.

Tenmile property


This was our favorite property. It is 45 acres and about 10 of those are pretty flat pastures. This is some of the pasture area near the barn.

This is looking from the the right side of the house, down towards the barn.


There are several different fenced off areas. We think they had sheep. The fence is in really good shape.


This is the back side of the house and shop looking from the road.


Sid and Carbon enjoying the pastures. That's a big tongue, Buddy.

Cracked Nail

Poor boy. We are going to the vet tomorrow morning.

Carbon's bad day

Carbon messed up his nail somehow. He tracked in a bloody trail.


I'm going to let nature take it's course and not pull the nail off right now.

Before and After Button

Aunt Becky stopped by with Christmas presents for Button, Carbon and Lu. Both dogs got rope toys and Lu got kitty treats. They all love their gifts. Button had a great time chewing, ripping, and completely destroying her rope. Carbon's still looks brand new with it's tag attached even.

Fun with a face mask

Sid decided to put the dust mask I used when I was grinding up hot peppers, on Carbon's head.
Carbon was not harmed by this stunt.


Carbon is very trusting so he sat nice while it was placed on his head.


A half a second later Button was trying to figure out what it was.


Another half a second went by and she was snapping it around his neck.


A good, fast, chase around the yard and this was all that was left.

Everybody has a toy

Button with the orange ball looks like she wants Carbon to chase her around the yard.


Ohhh, he is such a good boy. He has the toy. Carbon is very proud when he has the blue toy. He prances over to both of us to show us the blue toy. This is one of many exciting moments in the day.
