Meet the Family.....

Well, it must be the day of the animals...

I would like to introduce you all to my little menagerie.....


Here is me flock of hens....with the ever watchful rooster in the back....
hmmmm.... a few hens are missing...
must be laying....



This is Major.
14 yr. old Quarter Horse
He and I have won many team penning competitions over the years
Now, he is a trail horse and yard art...



Major does NOT like the chickens sharing his morning cereal





My BIG ass Cat...
Dartanion
He is HUGE, about 17 lbs
He is slightly smaller than a Basset hound



This is Mister, my daughter's dog
He worships her!!!
He is one of the best dogs we have ever owned
He may look sweet (and he is) but if you dont belong in his yard
you wont get in!


This is Chance, the alpha female...
She is the mother of the other two
and she rules the yard!


This is Missy.
My precious baby...
She was born blind...
but you would never know it by the way she gets around.
She is the coyote alarm!!!

Here they are on the porch..
trying to get them to "pose" is a joke! ;)






WARNING!!!


Some might find the next photo pornographic!
=0P




++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

CONGRATULATIONS TO MY BABY GIRL!!!!


This is the "don't embarrass me Mom" look! =0P


The walk down the steps... no longer a 6th grader!


Yeah!!! She's got her papers!!!



The VERY PROUD Momma and her baby girl!!!!


My sweet baby girl, I am sooooo very proud of you!!!! I love you very much!!!!! Congratulations!!!

Wishing you a great day,

Minxie

Lotus, depends on what you mean by vacation. I wouldn't call sitting in puddles of sh*t vacation. Rivers of mud? Hmmm not vacation. Enough rain to choke a fish...not vacation. Trees and branches blocking streets...not very Disney like love.

I'm here in Dane an I'm not feelin much vacation in it my love.

~Minxie~ said...

*splashes around in bubble bath*

Can someone pass me the rum? and maybe ask JD to wash me back too? *wicked grin*

~Minxie~ said...

Lotus love.... your "scare the shit out of me" comment made me choke on my rum!!!!!! ROFLMFAO!!!!!

-Sir Jack said...

She's not there?
Hmmm I could've deleted that answer...but I'm feeling generous at this fleeting moment.
*winks & drinks*

cheeky monkey said...

i am not cleaning a poop deck!

-Sir Jack said...

Minxie, love, see that monkey below you? It'll scare the crap right outta yer shorts, love.

Hi there cheeky!! Do you like poop decks?

-Sir Jack said...

Minxie, they're on my island love, collecting more coconuts for later...

Sirwho'sgotnobasement? said...

OK..Here goes...
I've been a SCUBA Diver for 30+ years. Somewhere through those years I had a group of mates that used to hand together. At one point there were almost 200 in me crew. There were a lot of Johns (No, not the bathrooms)(It wasn't the kind hookers look for either). So they started nameing us. Poor John, Doc John, Little John...etc. etc. etc. Well, I became Poop John, mostly because I lived the furthest from "ground zero", I was the first to have to leave the parties, so I was the, "Party-Pooper".
You know, if you ignore it it will go away...right?
Didn't work!
At one time in Central America, I was much better known as "Poop"
On one Trip, I landed in Honduras and there were signs at the airport saying, "Welcome Back Poop".
I figured it was all fun...It doesn't matter what they call you as long as they remember your name.
In world you call, "Hey Poop!", I say, How can I help you?

Lotus said...

Hi ya, Cheeky Monkey! What's shakin babe? (NMQ) Minxie, I think you should sail to WI and let the rain storms wash your poop deck clean as a whistle!

-Sir Jack said...

ROFLMFAO!!!!!
Minxie, what do you think it is coyly hidin' behind it's back!!!
It ain't roses, my love.

Lotus said...

whos, that is funny! Sorry your the poop, though. When my husband was a kid he was quite ill and had gas very bad. His family named him Pop Tail, then as he got older it was shortened to POP. Now he wants our grandbaby to call him Pops and I'm going for POP Tail again. 'cause he's old and you can smell (I mean, tell)!

cheeky monkey said...

ha-ha
poop john makes me giggle

the minions should clean the poop!

Lotus said...

Cheeky, who ARE the minions?

~Minxie~ said...

LMAO!!!! Whos... that is a great story!!!!

so does that mean we can call whos-poop? or poop-whos? or how about poopsy-who? LOL....


sorry love, the rum has gotten in me head now!!!

-Sir Jack said...

Well, there you have it.
Who #1 = poop

Lotus, he's your Man, man!!
Poop deck n' all.

Oops I dropped me rum.
*stumbles & falls*

Charming poop story mate! Do you need a drink to recover from that trip down memory poop deck. Hell, I'll drink to it if you don't.
Cheers!

Sirwho'sgotnobasement? said...

Lotus,

After 30 some years, I've gotten used to it. However I must say that I think the gas thing is a little 'male'...Oh hold it, I got married 20 years ago...I think it's a little human. (not Humane, although I try to place blame)

~Minxie~ said...

Lotus with all the storms you all have its liable to wash me entire ship away!!!

cheeky monkey said...

i haven't decided who the minions are yet

~Minxie~ said...

Lotus is a nut...
She has a rubber butt
and every time she turns around
she goes.... putt putt!!!

Osh said...

I really wish this rain would stop. It is making me crabby. er.

Lotus said...

That's possible minxie. But you could end up in OZ with me good friends WWW and the Flyin' Monkees! Not Cheeky, though, she don't fly.

~Minxie~ said...

oh wait... that should have been Lotus's husband! =0P

Lotus said...

"she goes.... putt putt!!!" It happens when I laugh and walk, too! Or, Toot toot!

cheeky monkey said...

Beans, beans, the magical fruit.
The more you eat, the more you toot.
The more you toot, the better you feel.
So lift your leg, and let them squeal!

-Sir Jack said...

Well mates, I don't mean to be a party pooper...

OOPS sorry who-poop, that was your line wasn't it. I'm gettin a little slogged here.

Lotus, you never thanked me for my answer. I'm crushed...an I'll wager you like that.

Cheeky- your vocabulary is coming along nicely. I see you added a few new words today! Keep up the good work on the deck. (Minion)

Minxie, my love, your are the best...now I'm getting dizzy.

cheeky monkey said...

i learn google today!

~Minxie~ said...

Osh if you are in Cbus then you have a good sized band of heavy rain coming thru from Madison..... is that hwy 151 that comes from Madison?

Milwaukee is getting hit too... Doc's gonna get some wet for sure!

Osh said...

I'm in Oshkosh, hence the name Osh.
Lol, I am original.

Lotus said...

Osh, did you see Sir Jacks post of 7:31 PM? He is in Dane county this evening. (coordinating high deff heat tracking devise) I KNOW, Jack is Gov. Doyle 'imself! Well, shiver me timbers!

Or do you work evenings at the State Capital bldg? Maybe that's where the PE connection is from, but he's not involved in filming! GET BACK TO WORK, you lazy state slacker Jack!

~Minxie~ said...

"So lift your leg, and let them squeal!"

Hadnt heard that ending before!!! LOL

Osh said...

He lives in Madison?

~Minxie~ said...

Sir Jack.... must you really go? (NMQ) I guess that means I get TWO questions tomorrow night then!!!
Oh yes, I like that very much indeed!!!!!

Lotus said...

Cheeky, LMAS!!!!!! I always heard the last line as, "So let's have beans at every meal!"

Sir Jack, are you in grave danger from the storms? Or are you detecting incoming? I did appreciate your answer; made me sad though! Why? Because with my state job and all, once I find you I have to terminate you. You're what we call a feral pirate cat!

~Minxie~ said...

Well Osh.... be prepared that big cell is heading your way from Cbus.... I see that you just had a nice one too....

Lotus said...

He said he "sometimes" lives there. So maybe he works there (if you can call that living), because he deff. did not sound like he was on vacation! Huh, Jack, we gettin' warm?

-Sir Jack said...

Whaa, Lotus, I'm really...snoggered here love. Don't get me going...

I only caught bits of what you said love...
Danger...incoming...sad...state...?

Love you're mess, your state is sinking, and there's poop on your deck. Auntie Em? Is that you?
Poppies...zzzzzzzzz

~Minxie~ said...

LMAO!!!!!!!

Lotus said...

I guess Sir Jack is NOT leaving. We should ask more questions!

Lotus said...

Because I have to go to bed soon.

:( [+---] (that's a bed)

Lotus said...

Not the sad face, just this is a bed:

[+---]

Sirwho'sgotnobasement? said...

I'm not goin' to ask me mate any question tonight. We've all gone through enought tonight already.

We've had enough weather to me liken'.
How 'bout tomorrow it's 80 and sunny. OK?
Sir Jack, here have another rum.

-Sir Jack said...

Minxie, do me a favor love? Because I need to sleep now...please take an oar and take out her GOOD leg.

Oar ee O, yo ho!

Follow the yellow brick oar.
Flying monkeys, undead?
zzzzzzzzzzzz

~Minxie~ said...

ooo... i've not seen the bed before.... thats cool!!!

Lotus said...

Wow! I sent 19 emails since I've been home! That's usually my quota for a month!

Lotus said...

I built that bed by meself---I'm talented! Think i can get it into the official blogger's diaglog book? Bloggin' fer Dummies.

~Minxie~ said...

Lotus... you dont want to know how many I have recvd!!! LOL...

Oh and just so you all know.... *holds up treasure chest*

I have a new treasure to go in me chest!!!

Lotus said...

minxie, don't get silicon implants! I repeat, DO NOT GET SILICON IMPLANTS!!! You don't need 'em. :)

~Minxie~ said...

Jack love...by your leave then....

We shall set sail for the morrow....

I have lots of info to gather from the blog tonight.... more adventures in store for sure....

And I think I just might know where yer bloody ship is too!

~Minxie~ said...

LMAO!!!!! Lotus!!! chest... more different chest.....

Lotus said...

Minxie is closing in on you Jack! Minxie, pull a POTC manuever and toss everything overboard that's not anchored down and necessary! We're gainin' speed, Sir Jack. Comin' up the year! ;D

Lotus said...

Sorry, Comin' up the REAR! =;D

~Minxie~ said...

Lotus... not in the poop deck!!! =0P

Lotus said...

OK, not on the poop deck! Can I poop on the upper deck?

~Minxie~ said...

Well according to all the tabloids... looks like Johnny and Vanessa WONT be getting married on June 14th like they all were saying.... hmmmm... I guess it really sucks when their "inside sources" give them jacked up information!!!!

~Minxie~ said...

NO... no pooping on any of the decks!!! Pooping in the privy only if you would be so kind....

Lotus said...

Maybe they will marry on Friday the 13th!!! Who~~~~~~~~~~ Tomorrow is Friday the 13th, I'm assuming we all realize this? My bad day is Saturday the 14th. I'll be staying in bed all day Saturday.

Sirwho'sgotnobasement? said...

I don't know if you guys know how important you are...I just got a call from Who'ses #1, wonder'n what was going on on the blog. I told her I told the 'Poop' story and she didn't know how to react. All the Who'ses have heard the story but they could believe that I told it online.

Osh, no pressure from me, but they would really like you to come tomorrow night.

~Minxie~ said...

Yikes... I forgot about the 13th!!! I am like you Lotus,.... usually the 14th sucks for me as well....
Its the last day of faire and I am having another after hours party that night.....

Lotus said...

My sister/brother-in-law have the following sign in their outhouse at the cabin:

"We aim to please. You aim too, PLEASE." I always laugh (& pee) when I read it. I bought them a fancy white porcelain, French TP holder for the outhouse! Theys HI CLASS now!

~Minxie~ said...

Ah thanks whos!!!! and tell all the whos in whoville... we could sure use their help!!!!

They dont need to lurk... we need their help!!! ;)

~Minxie~ said...

LOL.... I love that sign!!!!

If you sprinkle
while you tinkle
be a sweetie
and wipe the seatie

LOL...that one cracked me up when I was a kid!!!

Lotus said...

That's eerie minxie. Why is the 14th your bad day? I was caught in a cabin fire (by the fancy outhouse) when I was about 16, on a Saturday th 14th. Obviously, I survived (no jokes, Jack) but I won't soon forget that day!

Sirwho'sgotnobasement? said...

Minxie,
Right now they are supposed to be sleeping in a gym. They're at 'Band Camp' (Actually, I know they are in bed, because it is after 'Lights Out' and "we Lutherans" take that very seriously) They have no internet or much of anything...they can only use their cell phones after the practice is over. Who'ses #1 had to use some othe Who'ses phone because Mrs. Who's left her phone on the counter and I wouldn't let her travel without a phone in the weather we're have'n.

~Minxie~ said...

Ok, I dont have any story like that one...

I have just always had pretty good Friday the 13th... but Saturday has usually been a different story.... nothing major, just stupid stuff...
So now I charge up my crystals and sprinkle sea salt at the threashold so to keep the bad Saturday the 14th bad luck away....

~Minxie~ said...

whos... got cha! well when they get back... please let them know, we would love for them to join us....


You know... "this one time at band camp...."

I can relate to band camp stories... my step kids were in band...

Lotus said...

Minxie, I've never met anyone like you (Sat 14th thing) before! I feel in safe company now. Even my daughter knows about my Sat the 14th; she warned me a couple of days ago that it was coming. Yep, got to get my crystals and sea salt too! Maybe throw out a little Rosemary at the garden gate. Ooops, no garden gate.

Lotus said...

Well, goodnight all! I hope that tomorrow is better for all. The poor, three-legged rabbits don't like Friday th 13th!

Sirwho'sgotnobasement? said...

Good Night All! 5 bells comin' in six hours!!! I'm get too old for this.

's been fun, thank you Minxie for your hospitality!

See you soon!

~Minxie~ said...

Good night all... stay safe and dry and dont float away....

Lotus~ dragons blood maybe? and frankincense....

Whos... as always... thanks for being here with us and having fun....thats what this place is all about.... everyone is welcome!!!

I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do!!!

Sleep well all...... keep your ears out for thunder!!!

Osh said...

Who's I saw that...Oshkosh is under a State of Emergency...I don't know what is going on. Right now my basement is flooding and I can't do anything about it because the source of the flood is coming from a shared wall.
I'm sorry I didn't respond sooner to you...please tell the Whosies that even if I am not there in the flesh I will be there in spirit and I will be in Columbus on the 21, and they can give me a private concert!

~Minxie~ said...

Osh..... I hope you are ok.... and that the basement isnt flooding too badly! Keep us posted....
Take care .... I will be thinking about you and hoping for the best.
