Update to My Life

Well, most of you already know that Kirby is in Virginia on a boat. Last weekend I drove him up there to meet Ken and Connie at their boat (OZ, a Gulfstar 45) and help get it ready to sail south. They have not been able to launch the boat yet but will be in the water soon and on their way south. And of course I forgot the camera so don't have one picture to post of Ken and Connie.
In the meantime, Jake and I are at home missing our old man! Jake has been rather confused and looks for his "Daddy" at the strangest times. Tonight he looked for him in the van as we got in. OK, Jake, Daddy has not been hiding in the van for 6 days!


The big news in the Shumbie family this week is the addition of a precious little baby girl....of the yellow hair variety! So I am a Grandma to a dog again! Glad she is theirs and not mine! Lacy is a beautiful little yellow lab, just 8 weeks old. She is not from the litter shown last week (I will have more on those babies soon). Lacy was actually born in Virginia and Christie and Michael were picking her up about the same time I was dropping Kirby off. Interesting trade??? Jake was very interested in Lacy and they had a good time sniffing each other. When Lacy got too vocal with Jake (yes, she barks and growls at 8 weeks!) Socks (her new "Mom") reminded her of her place and told her to respect her new "Dad".
I am sure we are in for many, many doggie adventures with 3 yellow dogs! Heaven Help US!!

She is beautiful Suzie! I thought we were the only crazies to have more than one dog. It's great they have each other to play with and keep in shape. Hope Kirby is having a great time and keeping warm.

Lucy,

I am sorry I was confusing in my post. I have changed it! Lacy is NOT our dog. We are not as crazy as you! My daughter is the crazy one in our family. Love you!
