A Little Bit of Woo

For those of you who have dogs but not children,
or for those of you who had dogs before you had
children - you will probably understand this post.
We childless adults have a tendency to treat our
canine friends like children.

This is the case with our beloved Reggie a/k/a the Woo.
We are not sure of the evolution that led to "Woo"
but it stuck. And its fun. There are endless
variations of "Woo" as it is really just a syllable
that can be substituted into almost anything (including
almost every song ever written).

Sometimes he is Reggie-Woo, Bubba-Woo, Woo-nicorn,
Reggie Von Woosterhausen, Woo-Woo but mainly he
is "The Woo"...as in "Hey Matt, have you fed the Woo?"
or "Look at the Woo" or most commonly "Where is the Woo?"...
because if he is not in sight he IS getting into trouble.



Reggie is a three year old Brittney. He is liver and
white, the recessive color combo - most are orange
and white. A lot of people mistake him for a
springer spaniel. He weighs about 40 pounds and
is all muscle and energy. Brittney's are
a sporting breed...they live to find and point
birds. Except for Reggie - he also lives to
destroy our possessions and any sense of sanity we
might of once had.

Reggie suffers from severe separation anxiety, which
is fancy for mass destruction if left alone in house.
We think he may suffer from doggy autism as well, if
such a thing exists. He is our special boy. Both
Matt and I have had Brittney's before (but this is
our first together) so we know it is not a breed
thing - it is a Woo thing.



Anyway that is enough for now, I sure you will
see plenty more Woo in posts to come.
Hope you enjoyed the photos!

P.S. The second photo shows a glimpse of a partially
finished kitchen to wet your whistle!

Hardhats Required Beyond This Point

Although it has been slow coming, I have finally
solved my camera issues and will be posting some
personal photos again. Following are demolition
phase kitchen photos...stay tuned for the finished
product!



This is a look from the kitchen into the bathroom.



This is from the bathroom into the kitchen. Hello Reggie!





This is what became of our living room during the ordeal.
We are no longer living in this mess..it is finished,
but I can't blow my wad all at once!

My Mosaic

Ok - so I raided this idea from Screenshots
but I thought it was way cool. Answering
the 12 questions below, entering the
answers into Flickr search, choosing a
corresponding photo which resonated and
creating a mosaic yielded this:




1. Connelly, Jennifer, 2. Mon souper de Fête..., 3. Old Grand Ledge Water Tower,
4. A black and white beauty, 5. Orlando Bloom, 6. Fresh Slices, 7. mystic,
8. Creme Brulee Infused with Passion Fruit, Kona Grill, Austin, Texas,
9. Rich's, 10. Best things in life are free, 11. torn, 12. Fly Catcher!

I traveled down a new blog path to do this and very much enjoyed myself!
