This ain't no poodle...



A 3-year-old Landseer Newfoundland in CASSELTON, N.D.,that measures 3 feet tall at the shoulders and 7 feet long from nose to destructive wagging tail, might be the world's tallest living dog. The owner says her 3-year-old Landseer Newfoundland keeps all four paws on the floor when he drinks from the kitchen faucet in her family's eastern North Dakota farm house.
His name is " Boomer" ( I can see why)
He stares into car windows eye to eye with drivers. A 20-pound bag of dry dog food lasts the 180-pound canine a couple of weeks. Owner Carlyn Weber says her furry black and white dog "comes into the house and his tail is so high everything gets knocked around."
Weber plans to send Boomer's measurements to Guinness World Records. The previous record holder was a nearly 4-foot-tall Great Dane that died this summer.

I'm just sayin'...

A couple years ago, Jack bought me a good digital camera, and he always says that it's the best investment he ever made. He knows that there is nothing I like better than to spend a day taking pictures. He'll take a vacation day to go with me so that I can get a snapshot of this:




He will travel miles chasing sunsets for me, never complaining, to get this:


and even backtrack so that I can get that picture I missed...



Next week he's taking me to the mountains just so I can take photos of a couple of these:



uhhmmm...well maybe...about a MILLION of those,
He knows how much I like taking pictures so he does it to make me happy.
I love that about him...and a whole lot more.

~ THINGS ABOUT FALL THAT MAKE ME SMILE ! ~

Indian corn and raffia
homemade soup
plump orange pumpkins
wood-burning fireplaces
bonfires and hayrides
piles of raked leaves
homemade crusty bread
tattered scarecrows
baskets of apples
bountiful harvest

geese heading north
crisp fall days
warm spiced cider
squirrels gathering acorns
canning jars of vegetables
warm bulky sweaters
and …

Vivid autumn colors !!
