The Mazzie Dog

As we prepare for Christmas my mother-in-law is going to watch our dog (Mazzie) for a few days.  I always love driving up toward their house as they live out in the country side in Oklahoma.  We get to drive from the city into the rural parts, and cross a big river, drive past many, many farms with cattle and cattle supplies and lots of open fields and pastures.  Such a peaceful and calming drive at times and at night past a certain point you wont see many cars.

Our dog is awesome on car trips too.  She doesn’t get too excited and mostly sleeps the entire way.  However she really likes it in the country side.  I wish we could let her off leash so she could just run around but we think she will just take off.  We almost lost her once trying this method.  And I hope she doesn’t get spoiled and eat too many treats while they are watching her.  That way damage control will be at a minimum when we get her back.  I suppose she would love a trip to the off leash dog park and run around.  I will have to do that when we get her back.

And in light of the Sooners playing for the National Championship I will show off Mazzie wearing her OU jersey.

Surprise Thunderstorm for you

I was sitting here tonight and heard what I thought was thunder. Mazzie dog and I looked at each other and so I thought I would check out radar cause I didn’t think we were supposed to have any bad weather or rain for that fact for awhile.

After checking radar, I couldn’t believe there was something just south of us here, so I grab the camera and took probably more pictures than needed, but here are a few shots:

But the weird thing is this started about 845pm and now it’s after 10p and there is still thunder and lightning.. Just crazy… Glad I didn’t water the lawn today :)
