About 2 days ago I had the best time of my life. I won showmanship at the county stock show and also my amazing boyfriend came down and saw me.

Before Landon came down I was getting my pigs ready for the show. I took them to the show barn and got them in there assigned pens. Pretty hard work sometimes if there is lots of little kids around.

Carefree parents don't even watch there kids sometimes when they are at the show barn because it is so miniscule they know they won't lose the kids.

Desperate Landon wanted to get to Childress so fast to see me and I wanted him to get here also. I was so excited to get to see him again!

Evidently I wasn't the only one ready to see him though. His little nephew was so excited that "uncle Landon" was coming down. We both were ready. Well actually I was ready to see Landon but I was also ready to show my pigs because I felt I had some good pigs this year.

Finally Landon got into town at about 12:30 Friday morning and I couldn't help but go out there and give him a little smooch. I was so happy! ;) I stayed outside with him for a little bit but I had to eventually go in because I had to wake up early the next morning to go deal with the animals.

Glad to wake up the next morning because it was one more day before the show I hurried up to get dressed, take a shower and everything else I stopped by the house Landon was staying at and laid in bed with him for a little while but then I finally left so he could get some sleep and so I could get out to the show barn and get my pigs tended to.

"Hurry" my dad told me. "We have to weigh our pigs." So I hurried in the barn and got my whip and got my zany pigs out of there pens so I could go weigh them. That didn't take long but after I had to weigh them I had to wash them.

I immediately got one at a time in the wash racks and started washing them. OH MAN! washing is the worst thing. I don't like it at all. I always wonder if my pigs are going to act up in the wash pens or not. Amazingly none of my pigs acted bad. They all loved the water.

Jealously I had wished I was in bed like Landon at the end of the morning because I was so tired of washing pigs and getting my fingers and toes stepped on.

Kachow! I got everything done that I was supposed to get done and the rest of the day I had off! I got to go spend it with Landon! HMMMM don't I wish I could have done that. Actually I had to hurry to go get dressed because Landon was taking me to lunch. Then right after we got done eating I had a dang basketball game to get ready to go to.

Lethargy I was not ready to play a basketball game that night. I was so tired and I just wanted to spend time with my boyfriend because he came down to see me. But I had to play in my game unfortunalty. The good thing bwas though Landon came to watch me! I was so happy.

Mostly I wanted him to come because I got to ride back home with him and my mom so I could be with him.

Noticeably my coach new that is what I wanted to do because I always talk about him. He is so wonderful. I also wanted to ride back with them because I had to show early in the morning and I didn't want to get home late.

Obviously when I got back it was kind of early. It was only like 8:30. So Landon and I went out to see my pigs and see how they were doing. My dad and my sister's boyfriend Will were shaving my pigs to make them nice and clean.

Prevailed by my york pig Will told me I was going to win the whole show with him. He said that pig was really really good. I was feeling really good about it to. Unfortuanley I didn't want to make my head big so I kind of just blew that off. The judge is the only one that gives us our placings.

Quietly me and Landon left my dad and Will in the show barn shaving my pigs. We went out to the ag farm to go feed my little Houston pig. He couldn't show because he didn't make weight. He won't even show until early March.

Relying on my dad to wash my pigs the next morning I was supposed to but I woke up to late. haha. But I had to get all dressed up and put all of my bling on so I could look cute. My dad told me I showed at like 8:15 so I had to hurry up.

Sleepy Landon was still in bed when I called him and told him I had to show early that morning. He got mad at me because I called him right when I was supposed to show. But my dad told me that I didn't show until like 8:35.

Timing Landon took a shower in like 5 min., got dressed in another 5 min. and then came out to the show barn. I was very suprised to see him up so early because he always sleeps in so late.

Unfortuanley Landon was a little early because I didn't show until later. He was pretty mad because I told him at the last minute and he had to rush down there. I told him not to rush because he didn't have to come, but he is a good boyfriend and wanted to come and support me.

Vainly not really he was not that mad at me he gave me a hug and a kiss because he felt bad for getting mad at me. It didn't really hurt my feelings because I know he wasn't mad at me.

Whiny pigs started oinking because owners were getting them up and starting to get them ready to show.

EXtreme pigs started getting up and were getting all ready to go out in the area and go show themselves off. I was so ready but yet so nervous.

Young kids were trying to rush there pigs into the arena because they were so anxious.

Zany pigs were going everywhere in the ring and were anxious to get back to there pens. The show finally came to an end and everyone was heading home. Later that night we got the buckles for Grand Champion and for Showman ship. I finally got a belt buckle because I got senior showmanship! I was so happy and so proud of everything I did.

It's a Dog's World

Hi! My name is Lily and I love being outside. I live outside because i am a big border collie, and because i shed a lot. My mom's parents don't want me to live inside because I always get hair on those big things that they always sit on. They are really comfortable. I used to get to live inside with my mom when I was a puppy but, haha i was little and wasn't as big as I am now. I love living outside though because i get to be free and play all i want and don't get in trouble for well having accident's as my mom says in the house and then getting hit on the bottom for it.

My sister recently came to live with me (her name is Freckles) because her mom was always working and didn't get to see her as often as she wanted. So Freckles came to live with me. She is so fun to play with but sometimes she gets on my bad side. She is so hyper but what can I say haha my mom says I am the most hyper dog she has ever been around. Freckles knows how to give high fives and how to sit. I get jealous of her to because I know absolutely nothing because I never want to listen to my mom when she tries to teach me stuff.

It was really really hot for a long time when it was light outside. Well my mom came home one day with this big round thing. I was trying to figure out what it was but I had no idea what it could be. Then my mom put it down and got this thing that has water come out of it. She put it in the round thing and started filling it up. I LOVE water so i jumped in it. Well I found out it was mine to play in. It was called a swimming pool. I play in it all of the time. I wish Freckles wasn't scared of water because we would play in that all of the time. But since she doesn't i have the whole pool to myself. I run to the very back of the yard and then concentrate on my pool really hard. Then full speed here I come ready to jump in there! I make a BIG splash and my mom gets all wet. haha. It was pretty funny. My mom thought to she just laughed at me.

Since Freckles didn't like water I decided I should try to get her wet. So when she went to go get a drink out of my pool I ran and jumped in it and I got her soaking wet. She was so mad at me. She started yelling at me. I told her that I just wanted to play with her and have some fun. Well she didn't like that very much. So I got out of my pool and started playing with her. She was still mad at me but I didn't care because I wanted to play with her.

She was mad at me for awhile but she got over it. We are still sister's and she will love me forever no matter what. haha
