Summer is our 13 month old and Noelle is almost 3. Sadie is our little adopted dog .......basset hound/? and is 4 years old.<br /><br />I get so tickled at Sadie .......she is not as crazy about the water as the golden's are but she finally decides to join in. How she stands up on her little short legs is so cute.<br /><br />These 3 dogs keep me busy.....but they are so good and such fun (most of the time...ha,ha) They have so much fun playing with each other.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><object width="425" height="350"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Cc52bYeeVWE"> </param> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Cc52bYeeVWE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"> </embed> </objectName: Nancy and Duanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10884435626172411898noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453104400029159457.post-86530737582284673242008-05-20T01:37:00.004-06:002008-05-20T01:50:16.170-06:00Two Golden Retrievers playing with Rope<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwZ5Wqw7TC4MrmgcC89qYBNYUGee9BqMwn_blo090K_0Vhq4CR2LbhJ6MVxYb2q_Jy_LTzNxEY84xF9_guAbg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><br />We bought a couple dollars worth of rope at Home Depot and it made a great cheap toy for our dogs.Name: Nancy and Duanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10884435626172411898noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453104400029159457.post-81125164700390775212008-03-11T01:39:00.003-06:002008-03-11T01:49:11.680-06:00Golden Retrievers PlayDate 10-08We had so much fun playing with our Golden Retrievers today......blowing bubbles for them and just enjoying such a wonderful spring day.

She spends hours a day watching the squirrels. I was real happy with the picture I got using Wouter's hints on using aperture priority and f8 on my camera. I was just thrilled to find the f8 etc on our camera let alone get this picture. It's quite a challenge to learn all about this camera.....but it's been fun.</span>Name: Nancy and Duanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10884435626172411898noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453104400029159457.post-30675354298951575942007-10-27T00:24:00.000-06:002007-10-27T01:23:09.257-06:00Our New Digital Sony DSLR Alpha 100 Camera<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjKzhZtxnSMxHOU-KJM_7h3TbzEAvOgE-g6zPDiYze5oTdRrAmDou6VlKmoSvGeV7R_86OrJw_WZs4zlVHum-Yp3dYUNhiWjJIPXCmRdumO03MzITdL9UcvewnpxNZc5NzpVOfZIvFPQ/s1600-h/portraitsummer10-07.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjKzhZtxnSMxHOU-KJM_7h3TbzEAvOgE-g6zPDiYze5oTdRrAmDou6VlKmoSvGeV7R_86OrJw_WZs4zlVHum-Yp3dYUNhiWjJIPXCmRdumO03MzITdL9UcvewnpxNZc5NzpVOfZIvFPQ/s320/portraitsummer10-07.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5125905072497709490" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1Pf-bym76Q_exg6aeLRSZoCX93nZEBLofEq-7IaMoKBWvfKAeDWrM75MVyBm7O7vd3PwCxBJWSniUDyCBSE4Hhyphenhyphen32Byl7XLrbV0amaxvbG8aLon7hGDP3yXKWp4y2Tw2A0ABZcLZSfQ/s1600-h/noelleportrait10-07.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1Pf-bym76Q_exg6aeLRSZoCX93nZEBLofEq-7IaMoKBWvfKAeDWrM75MVyBm7O7vd3PwCxBJWSniUDyCBSE4Hhyphenhyphen32Byl7XLrbV0amaxvbG8aLon7hGDP3yXKWp4y2Tw2A0ABZcLZSfQ/s320/noelleportrait10-07.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5125903874201833890" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span><span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />We just bought a new Sony DSLR Camera the Alpha 100. These are the very first pictures we have taken..........we have lot's to learn about this camera but we loved these poses of our 4 month old Golden Retriever Puppy and our 2 year old Golden Retriever Noelle. They were taken with the telephoto lens...........they were clear across the yard from me.....I love this feature because if I get close to them they get silly and jump at me and this way they were not so aware of me.</span></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:130%;">This first photo is of our 4 month old puppy "Summer"..........she is just a real sweetheart.......so good and mellow. We needed that after our hyperactive 2 year old golden retriever Noelle.......Noelle is just fantastic with the new puppy though..........she is like a mother hen......so good to her and they play all the time together and often you can find them curled up together asleep. We bought Summer on our 43 rd Wedding Anniversary this year. They are beautiful together...........we are excited to find Summer has so many waves in her coat.........Noelle doesn't have a curly hair on her body.

We ended getting another Golden from <a href="http://www.blogger.com/goldengirlskennels.com">.</a>......<a href="http://goldengirlskennels.com/">http://goldengirlskennels.com/</a>the same place where we found Noelle. It actually was our 43rd Anniversary the day we found her and fell in love with this little golden ball of fur. We did not get her that day though........we had to think deep and hard about if we really wanted to go through puppy stage again. We found Noelle was a real challenge to raise........she is very energetic......but she has turned into one of the most beautiful Golden Retrievers we have ever seen. She is becoming a real sweetheart. Once we made the decision to raise another puppy ........it didn't take long to find a puppy who seemed perfect for our family. She came into our home the 21st of July.......a Saturday evening.<br /><br />We were a little worried how Noelle and Sadie would be around this tiny puppy...........but much to our amazement.........they were off and playing almost immediately. Summer acts like she has been here forever...........she is a very confident little dog.........manuvers the steps like a pro and has been just a joy from day one. She acts like a big dog in a small body.......... she is very smart and she knew her name in two days. Noelle and Summer are playing most of the time...........this second one will be much easier as she has Noelle and Sadie to tire her out.<br /></span></div></div><span style="font-size:130%;"><br />Summer has adjusted to our schedule so fast..........sleeps when we do and naps in her crate without much fuss. She seems to be a much calmer dog than Noelle...........she looks like a little gold fur ball.........little black eyes and nose. You just want to hug her and hold her forever. We are amazed every day how well she has adapted to our home in such a short time.<br /><br />Summer is giving Boot's our cat a hard time........she thinks Boot's is always ready to play. Boot's really lets her know when he has had enough. Since Boot's loves to play with the other dogs we think in a short time he will love playing with Summer often.<br /><br />We love to watch Noelle and Summer playing. Noelle is acting like a "little mother hen".......she sleeps by Summer's crate a lot............shares the balls with her and seems to be real gentle with the puppy so far. It's just a beautiful sight to see two such pretty Goldens playing together. We think Summer will be a little bit darker and maybe a little bit smaller than Noelle.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">7/28/07</span></span><br /><br />Our first week with Summer has been a joy.........she has adapted to our family so fast........everyone loves her who has met her. We took her to the mountains today and she slept most of the way. She loved exploring the rocks etc. She is really a wonderful little dog to take in the car...........never a sound out of her. We had so much fun with her today.<br /><br /><br /></span>Name: Nancy and Duanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10884435626172411898noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453104400029159457.post-71949684361255645782007-04-04T11:24:00.000-06:002007-07-28T01:28:35.721-06:00Kevin and Charissa Wedding<span style="font-size:130%;">Kevin and Charissa were married on 4-01-07. It was a beautiful spring day with a few clouds and a mild wind at times! The wedding was just "awesome". It was held outside on the beautiful grounds of <a href="http://tapestryhouse.com/">The Tapestry House.</a><a href="http://tapestryhouse.com/"> </a>I don't think any of us will soon forget the horse and carriage coming up the road with Charissa in it ......none of us expected that. After the wedding both the bride and groom rode off in the carriage together. We attended a wonderful reception afterwards with a buffet and dancing.<br /><br />We are thrilled to welcome Charissa into our family. Charissa's parents put so much work into this wedding and it was an outstanding ceremony......they should be so proud of all the work they put in to this wedding. We loved every minute of it.<br /><br />You can view our pictures below. If you click on one of the pictures you should be able to see a bigger picture.

Will have to make another trip to pick up our favorite peice of meat to cook..........a Chief Prime Pork Roast.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">It felt like spring time today as the temperature rose into the 40's.........there was some serious melting going on. The parking lot's have lot's of water puddles so you have to be careful where you walk.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">They are forcasting a high of close to 0 and more snow this coming weekend. We seem to get these storms every Thursday and Friday. We are dreading this cold that is coming our way.</span></div>Name: Nancy and Duanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10884435626172411898noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8453104400029159457.post-73503043952042059272007-01-07T23:45:00.000-07:002007-07-28T01:39:39.280-06:003rd Snowstorm in 3 weeks!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5toSIpaRWYfHyAZevTpbd2Yr_koXWm5LC3JQlvYxTqSenzK-SF7LR4UffXJM8GegXcR4forPctsLP_X3nNm3q8RV5mJznMyzlcqkXI41D1MhAZqVLK109zANIyxEpPm5kYQjUvQH78g/s1600-h/DSC00195.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5toSIpaRWYfHyAZevTpbd2Yr_koXWm5LC3JQlvYxTqSenzK-SF7LR4UffXJM8GegXcR4forPctsLP_X3nNm3q8RV5mJznMyzlcqkXI41D1MhAZqVLK109zANIyxEpPm5kYQjUvQH78g/s320/DSC00195.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5018933403572159842" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />We have had the 3rd snow storm in 3 weeks.
