Hot Pink Puppy Farm

i have finally made it out into the world of mississippi! i was starting to go stir crazy a bit! the place where i was assigned is just as the name describes: the house is PINK, there are about 7 pit bulls, 2 pit puppies, and two taco dogs...one is so small it's like a little bigger then a mouse! i LOVE it! i love all the puppies...AND the family has a BABY and two little kids! what a perfect place for me to be assigned! i keep smiling to myself thinking, "God had this place in mind for me..." i have been painting, priming, and playing with the little girl. her name is alexis.

yesterday, as we were leaving, we all said good-bye to her. i turned around to get into the van to leave and she yelled, "WAIT!" i turned around and she came running towards me, arms wide open...i leaned down to hug her and picked her right up. she hung there for a bit and i just sqeezed her! oh how precious! i don't thin i will forget that as long as i live.

i hope we go back there after lunch. i am getting to know the family a little bit, and the kids will be home from school then. i just can't help but love them all!

to answer a commonly asked question: YES! all the boys are treating me exceptionally well! i couldn't be down here without them...and it would not be the same without them. they are all being quite sweet, observant, protective, helpful, and loving! there is, of course, the typical "gaming" going on...but most of the time i end up cracking up laughing! there is definately a lot of laughter that takes place!

we went into new orleans last night i just LOVED LOVED it! i keep thinking about it today...the sights, the sounds, the smells...it's just a different world and i thought it was so so cool! i particularly enjoyed the beads, feather boa's, and masks...i think chuck is going to post some pictures of that...it all ROCKED!!

alright...don't wanna make peggy cranky and be late for lunch!!

later y'all!!

p.s. i find myself picking up a southern accent....HAHA!
