Barkley picking fights................

whats this about Barkley picking fights? well the other evening me and the wifey were off to go hang out with sister #4 and her hubby. while loading up the car with a few  items i turned around to my surprise to see a marble pit bull face to face with Malia. immediately i picked up Malia and handed her off to Mandy. we were surprised to see a dog of this bread just running around with no collar. pit bulls are well known for there aggressive behavior toward people and pets........o yeah pets. well Mr ol Barkley was outside on his runner, i looked over and saw the pit and Barkley very tensely sniffing each other. knowing Barkley i worried he might instigate something he still has his pair if ya know what i mean. so i tell my wife just to ignore and load up the car so we could leave. well as soon as i turnaround you guessed it they start to fight, i yelled to Mandy to take Malia and get in the call and call 911.





the fight was very aggressive teeth growling and all, not wanting this pit to kill Mr poops(he was atop of Barkley with his teeth in his back)i went into the garage to get a stick to break them up. i found a rake(not very smart would have broke easily) and go over to the fighting dogs i swing ........and miss the pit and hit Mr poops....... oops but it does the trick they stop fighting and part ways. the pit was not aggressive towards me so i ever so kindly persuaded it into the enclosed section of my yard as to keep it there until the police arrive, cant have a dog like this running around. as the adrenaline subsides and we wait for the officials we say our thanks, this situation could have been a lot worse. the pit could have attacked Malia right out, or after tangling with Barkley it could have turned on me, but never the less all ended well with the dog off to the dog jail and Barkley with no puncture wounds the outcome was good. well then off we went for a nice grilled dinner of burgers(daddy daves fav food).

here a pick of Barkleys pierced ears an product of the after math.

little dipper..........

in this pic Malia is dipping her egg salad sandwich in her milk....mmmmmmmm...eggactly what i would do. (eggactly---exactly-----get it)

o yeah.......

 yeah........ at one time i was straigtening out the garage. i had built some shelfing on the back wall to help keep the man cave in order. well i kind of got a little side tracked and started another project(one of my bad habits). but back to work, which means im stopping in the middle of some other project to come back to this, man the cycle never ends. one thing i never did was to finish putting shelf's on it, so it was all dangerously stacked and not practical(well maybe not so dangerous but very unpractical). well for starters i didn't have any plywood and didn't want to go buy any, it can get costly. but my every so gracious neighbor gave me some old tables(there past use is not open for discussion because of the legality of it), but they were just enough to do the trick. in the above pick the tables had been disassembled/parted out.

after some cutting nailing and sweating the new-used, shelf's were installed. another free 99 project completed. recycle-reuse-enjoy.

stuck.......

while trying to keep Malia from  climbing atop the chairs i pushed them under the table . did this stop Malia? why no, she still climbed atop the chair but then got sort of stuck. she just made herself vocal in order to get the help she needed, but i still snapped a quick pic before baling her out.

new problem.........

new problem ,how does she get down? just one of Malia's newest feats.

smoking like a chimney............

while out just tooling around looking at houses we looked at this one it was a very old house with all the old house charm, but all of the old house work to go with it. looks as if someone or something was smoking like a chimney in this house my guess would be a kerosene heater but your guess would be as good as any. did you notice the newly installed fire detectors, bet those weren't there before.

i think every wall was a different color not to mention very room had a different smell. it was like a scratch and sniff sort of house.

other uses for an infant tub.........

the other evening Malia managed to dig out her old infant bath tub and pushed/pulled it into the living room, climbed in and began to watch television........hmmmm i guess its her sort of recliner. notice how she is cleaning her toes, must be something she picked up watching one of her parents do after a hard day at work in which ones shoes and socks are discarded.
