Greek Olive? Spanish Olive?

How about just "Jennifer Olive Jane" ... Yeah that sounds nice.

Well things have been going actually pretty well here. My sister Stella is playing with Olive more but still skiddish. I am indifferent, but I don't mind her. 

I think she is a nice edition. 

To be honest sometimes I feel lonely but mummy and dad make up for it. 

Oh! Gotta run! It's time to play outside!!

Olive , not just for Mummy's Martinis anymore

Last week mummy and dad were given an opportunity to rescue puppy. Our friend Laurie came across three puppies that a lady was trying to get rid of. She said if no one came to get them she was taking them to the pound because she was going on vacation the next day. Well that is unheard of in our house. So Laurie brought then over and we kept one and it looks like we have a new sister! 

Her name is Olive Jane. 

She is super little and quiet right now but adjusting. She was only 5 weeks old! Mummy fed her some special dog milk for a while in some syringe thing , but now she likes food. 

I don't mind her too much. I sometimes hang out with her in her kennel to keep her warm. Stella isn't too sure yet about her. But that's okay, I am the big brother I have to keep things in line around here. 

We found out she is part chihuahua and part rat terrier.  Kind of like me! 

She is pretty fun so far. I think I'll let them keep her around. 

Good night!

Love Sampson

I don't always look this cute, but when I do I look like this. 

The Annual Easter Hunt!!!

It was the funniest ever! Well not really ... There were lots of dogs and people. Daddy got completely overwhelmed and grumpy. I didn't care , I just peered on everything I could find. 

Stella seemed a little overwhelmed to.

Maybe next year Mom and I will just go on a date ourselves. Yeah!!!

Spring time shenanigans!!!

So ... We are pretty sure that mummy has lost her mind. We simply went outside to find an unmarked blade of grass and this crazy lady is shinning a bright light in our faces cackling and dancing around the yard.

At least she is happy.

Thunder Dogs HO!

Welp. Mom bought me a Thunder Shirt. She thinks it will help. I think I look manly in my camo. What do you think? 

Seriously I can't the rain mom.

I am not as brave as you would think. 

I'm not a big boy.

Mummy ... We don't like the rain. Please make it stop. 

The Butter Churn ..... a little soul with a big idea!

the butter churn - a little soul with a big idea

This is a very dear friend, and my kindred spirit, who has a dream and the guts to follow it. Stephanie, or as we call her Fanny, has the incredible adaptability and foresight with the needs of others and a community in general. I truly believe that her business plan, vision, and determination will be very present in the developing and success of Butter Churn.

Please listen and read the following presentation.  This is not a boxed mainstream idea, this is a proven plan that would establish, and could centralize, what so many have scattered throughout central Illinois.

Thank you!
