Can you identify??

The lady parked next to me at Walmart the other day had 3 puppies in her truck...she said she had picked them up off the side of the road, the mother was killed...what do you think she has in her?????

She is the sweetest thing...she loves to be outside and gets along with our other 2 dogs and with the kids!

Her name for the time being is Brindle (original I know...). She may go with us to Lubbock tomorrow so I can find her a home.

Brindle and Samantha!

Random

Just some random things...

Capri Sun is doing a recycle program that our school is participating in, we collect ALL drink pouches, I take them home and rinse them out and send them in, they send us $.02 per pouch! This is what my kitchen looks like much of the time.
