New Camera and Puppy Pics

Well, THANKSGIVING is tomorrow! Which, in case you haven’t been paying attention, is my FAVORITE holiday!! I got invited across the street to the neighbor’s feast, which is always cool since they’re all about the same age. Apparently, there are going to be quite a number of people there, and I am also bringing a friend that didn’t originally have plans.

 I am in charge of bringing sweet potatoes, but I am also going to bring an extra ham and a pumpkin pie. I can’t wait! I really hope the stuffing is homemade also!!! I am still in total disbelief that the holidays are here again! It’s actually really cloudy and rainy today so it’s starting to feel more like the winter is coming. It had been pretty warm, still in the upper 70s and low 80s, just this past week. I love the winters in Arizona! They almost make up for the summer! I guess it’s cool to see the changing of seasons for Thanksgiving though. I only got to see that once when I spent the holiday in upstate New York. Every other Thanksgiving has been in Hawaii or in the desert!

I finally bought myself a little camera to carry around in my purse. My best friend got me a westcor card for my birthday so I decided to use it to put some money on a much-needed digital camera. I ended up spending about $150 of my own money, but I think I invested pretty wisely. It’s a 12 megapixel Kodak with a 5x optical zoom and even HD video capability. It was the only one I found with HD video, actually. Originally I went to Circuit City where I first saw it. All of the Circuit Citites in AZ are going out of business so cameras were all 10% off, but they only had one left and it was the display. Plus, it didn’t come with the box or accessories. So, being the cautious Asian consumer that I am, I decided to check Walmart before making a purchase. As it turns out, the same camera was being sold for the Circuit City “sale” price at Walmart, and it came brand new in the box. Thank goodness I decided to wait.

Well I guess I can’t brag about my new camera without putting up some new pics I took with it….and of course what better photography subject than the PUPPIES….hahahaha

As you can probably guess, they are becoming a bunch of little terrors!!! At least they have learned to mostly use the puppy training pads to use the bathroom, right before they decide to tear them to shreds!!! I love them all though!

Both boys and one of the girls are leaving next Tuesday after I get them their first shots on Saturday. So we will only have 2 girls left. I am happy though because they are going to good homes. The 2 boys are going to a friend’s sister, who is a total animal lover. They’ll be sharing a home with a little dachsund and an 18 year old cat!!!! The little girl is going to an older friend of a friend who already has another dog and cat as well. She is on disability though and doesn’t work, so she spends a lot of time with her pets. I’ll also be able to see them pretty much anytime I want. I don’t think it will be hard to find a home or homes for the remaining two.  I am just relieved that 2 will be a lot easier to handle than 5!!! I can’t believe it’s been almost 2 months since they were born.

Anyways, I hope everyone enjoys their Turkey Day as much as I will! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
