The OG goes to the MHMR dance and Halo learns some manners.....

Well, last night the first organic Gathering did a fun mission project of sorts.....we all (well, three couples and Lauren who was visiting and went with us!) went to a MHMR dance! Steve the tall guy on the left works at the MHMR center in Cinci...and he invited all of us to go to the dance! Needless to say we loved it all! OK so who is in this picture? From left to right: Steve and his wife Kim, Sylvia and her husband John, Lauren, and Tiffany my hottie wife!) want to see more? Ok.....

Here is me with one of my new friends....

Tiffany doing the Grandpa dance....

John and Sylvia dancing the YMCA song........ oh wait maybe that is Sylvia with one of her new friends...not sure...I just can't tell.....

Tiffany getting Jiggy with it with a new friend...oh and did I mention he loved to sing too?.....

and here he goes!.....

Here is Steve (which BTW was a celeb in this place!) dancing the YMCA song too.....I am telling you it was like walking into a dance hall with Will Smith or something...Steve was a true celeb!.....

And of course as the night went on...the Splenda filled punch got the best of us all and after a while we all just blended in with the crowd! It was a great time had by all and thanks to Steve and Kim for inviting us all for the tons of fun! We all went to Borders afterwards and played a little TX hold'em poker with Altoids for chips and it was a great night had by all!.....

This was a couple of days ago...but as you can see that Halo is starting to learn his table manners, heh heh...... If you have ever eaten in the Hollums house you know that Halo is a pest...but here when it was just Tiffany and me eating...he was actually very good....sad...but good, heh.....

did I mention sad? ahhhh Halo!!.....

and lastly for everyone's viewing pleasure...I wanted to show everyone this one o a kind Trinity pepper! check that out....I know I should have sold it on eBay...but oh well! heh.....

Well, for those of who who do not know Halo has been a very sick dog. He has weaken lungs and got some sever infection in them...the vet gave him antibiotics and another drug that is to help with his breathing...and then we found out that ever side effect of the breathing drug he was experiencing...so we had started giving him a much smaller dose of it and he seems to be doing 100 times better now! almost back to his normal self!

-----------------------

We also had for almost a week a new addition to our family (a dog that is of course) Her name is Pipy and she is still a puppy, and we really loved having her here...but we were trying to potty train her so we kept her in her kennel most of the time...and then the Dr. told us that she really should not be around Halo or she might get what Halo has...so we have asked her previous owner to keep her for the next two weeks to make sure Halo is feeling better and will not give her his sickness....Having her here reminded us how much we love Halo and how hard a new puppy really is...and so we are still praying about keeping her or not. She just deserves a lot of attention and care...and with another dog (especially a sick one), two time consuming jobs, and never getting any rest from a barking dog....it tends to help you remember the sacrifice that we go through to love animals, heh....Especially since Halo (in Vet bills alone) the past two weeks has cost us over $350! Dang that is a ton of money for us especially since we are trying to stick to our very small budget! Oh well, thanks for reading and putting up with me not being as consistent with the blog posts...I will try to be better! And if you have not already checked it out The Waters blog is updated every week around Monday or Tuesday..so you can always read about The Waters and send some prayer that way!

Thanks!

KUTPs...

and God bless ya!
