Our puppy Ruby is now 7 months old and has recently returned from her hunting training. Before she left she would climb our fence to the neighbors' house to play with their puppy Domino, whom happens to be her brother.

I thought for sure after being away for 3 months in training she would've forgotten all about climbing the fence. Plus, she's a lot bigger now. But, alas she didn't forget. I've found her on the other side of the fence many times since she's returned and today I caught her on video. She has been shock collar trained so we only have to use the vibration level and we'll be putting it on her to train her to NOT climb the fence so she doesn't get her collar stuck on it one day and hurt herself.

It still makes for a pretty funny video. So without further adieu; here is Houdini herself starring in Ruby's Great Escape!

Long Time No Talk

It has been way too long since our last update and we've been up to a lot! In September we made a trip to Dallas to visit Tim Wright for his house warming party, his first house deserves a good christening party right? Many great family members were on hand from the Wright side of the family and it had been way too long since we had seen everyone....Sarah, Mike, Sean, Tim, Rob & Charlotte plus Roger and Julie!! We really enjoyed hanging out and some great BBQ cooked by the master of the house himself. On the way up there we stopped by Fort Worth to check out the town. I lived in Dallas for 3 years and never made it over there. We checked out the Sundance Square in the downtown area and they were hosting a classic car show! After chowing on some pizza at an awesome Italian restaurant (Taverna Pizzeria & Risotteria) we made our way around the cars and bought a souvenir or two before heading on our way to Dallas. After all was said and done the weekend passed way too fast, but never fear we'll be back. I really want to take Philip back to the grassy knoll and the 6th floor museum at Dealey Plaza to visit the grounds of the Kennedy assassination. When my family moved to Dallas in 1995 for about three years my dad and I couldn't wait to make the trip and I really enjoyed seeing that piece of American history that I had read and seen so much about. I can't believe he grew up in Houston and never made the trip to see the old book depository....so we will definitely make that trip soon and post tons of photos for you all! Without further ado photos of Tim's house warming party!
