Last puppy left today

This big guy left home day. I couldn't believe how big he had gotten either...guess it's been a few days since I've been out with them. I didn't get any new photos of him, it was snowing (yes I said the S word...the ground was white when I woke up and I'm afraid I moaned a little LOL, thankfully it's all gone now though because it turned to rain which helped melt the snow!) anyway I didn't really want to go out in the snow more than once...and was busy so no new photos of the one that left today. That just leaves us with the two we are keeping!!

I'm so happy we got rid of them so easily, and we made enough money to get the two we are keeping fixed too, although won't do that for another couple months or so. I was a little worried about coming up with that money, and knew we didn't want to leave them unfixed, but thankfully after calling around we found a place that is cheaper than the one in town although not as cheap as what my parents can get theirs fixed for, but that's a bit far to go unless we are going anyway. :)

The friend who was coming over to show DH how to draw blood from our cow, to see if she is with calf couldn't make it today...she had something come up, but hopefully she can make it this weekend. If Mabel IS with calf, she needs to be dried up as she would be due in May I think. I'll miss the milk, but she really hasn't been giving a bunch lately anyway, so I'm REALLY hoping she is just trying to get ready to have her baby...and not that she is just getting tired of giving us milk...although I don't know that she looks any fatter than when we got her, so am kinda doubting that she is, but what do I know about cows...NOTHING. LOL

DH was reading our small town's weekly paper this morning, and saw that a shop that we have in town was having a closing sale and everything was 60% off! It's a shop that is one of those speciality ones, they sold some canned goods, jellies and such...and some other speciality food items and kitchen items...as well as some gifts. Its a cool place, but our town is really two small to support a store like that to my way of thinking (although I've been known to be wrong a time or two LOL). Anyway, we decided to run in and see what all they had, at one time I think I saw some sprouting seeds there so I thought I'd see if they had any since I've been using my sprouter, to give us extra "greens" in these depressing winter months.

It turns out they didn't have any of the alfalfa seeds like I was hoping for, but we did find several things to get...and at 60% off they were a great buy! I got two sets of round cookie cutter things...one straight and one fluted, with 4 sizes per box of each. I don't know that I will use all the different sizes, but for the price I couldn't pass them up. They are nice ones to, not the cheap flimsy kind that I have now. LOL The last time I made biscuits and used one I wished I had some better ones...so grabbed these when I saw them, they were marked 8 bucks...and I got them for just over three, so was really happy! :)

I also got a nice heavy duty LONG whisk that I was wanting for my soap making venture. I didn't know where to find a extra long one, so when I saw the one hanging on the wall at the store today marked 11.99 I just had to have it...especially since I didn't think that was a bad price, but with 60% off that it was a steal. We got some other little things, like a brick of yeast...didn't really need it yet, but it will freeze for when I do, and clear jell for canning fruit for pies but I figured I better stop before I went wild, and made myself leave some things on the shelves. *snicker* I just LOVE a good sale, and don't get to go to, to many of them. Course I don't usually see one out in the real world, that is 60% off either. *giggle*

Thankfully we don't have lots of stores in town, cause if to many had a sale like this, I'd be in trouble. LOL Well better go before I bore you all TOO much, thankfully this busy week is drawing to a close...I've not had time to even think of opening photo shop to scrap this week. Hopefully next week is better...but...well....we will see. :)
