Home from Billings...for a few weeks now...yes, once again I have neglected my blog :( But, I'm here now! We left at O'dark-thirty to go to Pullman...dad is having surgery. They (the docs) are removing a chunk of his pooper pipe. Oddly enough, dad had worms...for a long time. He told the docs, "I think I have worms...they laughed it off. Well, dad actually saw one and fetched it and took it to show and tell. They got the picture and treated him. Seems the little critters may have had s good time in the bowels...now here he is. We pray God will guide the docs hands and shower my dad with blessings! My next blog should be on how well my dad is doing!
Well, thanks for tuning in! Don't forget to check out my products on www.fisirid.com !

Missing them:(
Here we sit in a motel room in Midtown MT....many hours away from home...for as long as 6 weeks! That's a long time to be away from home, and the follies! Of course, we are not completely without follies here...we do have Miss Noodle--the poodle and the mouse--(Mickey the Doxie)! Mickey is pretty low keyed, but that Miss Noodle can cause a commotion on short order!
I took her to Pet Smart to get a bathe and she had all the ladies in the place oohing and cooing! Of course she was an out of control twit and jumped on everyone...we are working on that, and she is getting better, but she gets so excited! Funny how everyone has to touch her. Here's a dog that is guaranteed to jump on you, claw you, possibly even pee on your shoe, yet everyone HAS to touch her! What is that all about anyway?!
She really is a sight to see though! Maybe someday I will get good at this and post a video of her...that would be fun!!

piggy-tale!
My daughter-in-law, the vet lady...as I mentioned before, has "Wayward Creatures" pet rescue. So, about a month ago (give or take a week or 2) she gets a call to rescue a couple pot bellied pigs. That is her story to tell--visit http://draggonlaady.livejournal.com/ (beware, she has been known to use some colorful language at times)! To make a long story short on my part...She delivered the male pig to me. I have a 24 foot run for animals of need, so we put him in there.
Rumor has it he was quite a handful when they hustled him into a horse trailer for removal...EeeYikes...glad I missed that part! For the first day or so with me, he was, well, let's say, not real friendly! But then he started coming up and eating out of my hand, then I started scratching his ears...then brushing him, then lifting his lips...to check his teeth, then he even let me stick my fingers in his eyes--to clean them!! He turned out to be a very nice gentleman! He and I had quick become good friends! He would make noise when he saw me and come running to the gate! He would talk his pig talk the whole time I was messing with him, and I in return gave him treats! Lots of treats! His favorite, dog food! Wilber would have done tricks for dog food--had I kept him long enough!
Well, the good doctor lady had a friend from vet school who wanted badly to have a pet-able pig on her place...so, the friend drove all the way from the Seattle area to adopt the friendly guy! I was not home during pick-up:( ...I was very sad to see him go...unlike my hubby! I hope he is doing well and is getting lots of love! I miss him! What a nice ending to a potentially bad case! Pet rescues are a wonderful thing! Support them in some way if you can!

A Duck hatched a Chick
A duck sits on a chicken egg, hatches out a darling little chick…or chuck as my hubby says! The duck hangs out close to the dog house because she likes little dog food treats. Now the chuck is on it’s own…guess where it sleeps? In the dog house…with Grover…and…AJ “THE CAT” !!!! Is that weird or what?

I have a Daughter In Law!
Late July 09‘…Boise, Idaho…103 degrees in the direct sun…flat, dry, unfriendly…definitely not home! But, just to let you in on something that Boise and home have in common…Ms. Noodle the Poodle is as big a hit anywhere she goes! I have never witnessed anything non-celebrity that gets so much attention! Everyone, man, woman, child, construction worker, logger, people in the car next to you, uniformed police-man, Animal control-officer…everyone! They all point, smile, laugh or comment on her! Oh, this is another post…I need to get back to my kids!
A year ago, February 08’ I think…my son…only son…only child, met a woman, who, within just a few hours, completely rocked his world! For those of you with gutter minds…not intimately --at least I don’t think it went down like that! I mean intellectually, personality, wit , education, flip (like he needed a comrade in that department!). She seems to be everything he would have put on an application when looking for someone who stacked up to his best friend Jay G., who, I believe the only reason those 2 never married was the gender issue…they love each other oh so much, but gay-dom isn’t their forte!
Altho…He and his woman did get gay-married--and I was only informed as he was driving on his way to meet her at the court house. Civil-Union I think is what it’s called…I call it married when it’s between a man and woman…So let me announce my son’s marriage!!
I introduce to you, my readers…Mr. and Mrs.…. T and Dr. J !!!!
HE, as I previously stated, is my son…only son…only child, whom is so dear to me and his happiness is very important. SHE, is everything he is, and, everything he isn’t! They click perfectly! She makes him very happy…I have never seen my son this happy…ever!! Dr. J is a DVM and owns Wayward Creatures pet rescue. She does wonderful work with less fortunate critters and gives those critters a chance at a wonderful life! Which, all fits nicely into the farm follies arena of wierdness! Of course there are stories for the farmfaollies posts…but that also is for another time…back to the kids!
So, my son, my daughter in law and my grandson are living happily ever after on 30 acres of beautiful woodland in a wonderful home with an always unpredictable amount of “Wayward Creatures”! Best of all, she loves my son and my grandson, as does her family! And HE loves HER!! Makes for a beautiful fairy-tale, huh?!

This was written by a Soldier in Iraq.
I was just watching the news, and I caught part of a report on Michael Jackson . As we all know, Jackson died the other day. He was anentertainer who performed for decades. He made millions, he spent millions, and he did a lot of things that make him a villain to many people. I understand that his death would affect a lot of people, and I respect those people who mourn his death, but that isn't the point.
Why is it that when ONE man dies, the whole of America loses their minds with grief. When a man dies whose only contribution to the country was to ENTERTAIN people, the American people find the need to flock to a memorial in Hollywood , and even Congress sees the need to hold a "moment of silence" for his passing?
Am I missing something here? ONE man dies, and all of a sudden he's a freaking martyr because he entertained us for a few decades? What about all those SOLDIERS who have died to give us freedom? All those Soldiers who, knowing that they would be asked to fight in a war, still raised their hands and swore to defend the Constitution and the United States of America . Where is there moment of silence? Where are the people flocking to their graves or memorials and mourning over them because they made the ultimate sacrifice? Why is it when a Soldier dies, there are more people saying "good riddance," and "thank God for IEDs?" When did this country become so calloused to the sacrifice of GOOD MEN and WOMEN, that they can arbitrarily blow off their deaths, and instead, throw themselves into mourning for a "Pop Icon?"
I think that if they are going to hold a moment of silence IN CONGRESS for Michael Jackson, they need to hold a moment of silence for every service member killed in Iraq and Afghanistan . They need to PUBLICLY recognize every life that has been lost so that the American people can live their callous little lives in the luxury and freedom that WE, those that are living and those that have gone on, have provided for them. But, wait, that would take too much time, because there have been so many willing to make that sacrifice. After all, we will never make millions of dollars. We will never star in movies, or write hit songs that the world will listen too. We only shed our blood, sweat and tears so that people can enjoy what they have.
Sorry if I have offended, but I needed to say it. Feel free to pass this along if you want.Remember these five words the next time you think of someone who is serving in the military; "So that others may live..."
