Shadaisymae and our new family.

Hi I am Big Bend's Texas Ranger

Otherwise known as, "Tex". Well I guess it is up to me to update y'all here around the ranch. Everybody except for me and Pride have gone to their new homes. Hank who is now known as Buddy is in Bellville and Ruby is there too. Lilly as you well know went to Kentucky, Rigby is in North Carolina, and Hunter is in Canada. Well, I still have Mom, Dad, and Pride to rough house, dig, run, bark, and all of that Airedale stuff to do with. After all Mom and Dad taught us how to be Airedales.

Yesterday, we all got a hair cut whether we needed it or not. Grandpa said so. So we went from the oldest to the youngest. Grannie said she was so proud of us we were all sooooo good. Then Saturday Pride went to Houston with Grandpa to meet his mom and brothers and sister. They all said that he was soooo sweeet. Great grandma might want to keep Pride with her, but she hasn't made a final decision yet. Grannie said she loves all of us so much and since so many of us have grown up she doesn't want Pride to leave home. He is the youngest. I am the oldest. However, Grannie said if it is Great grandma then that would be perfect being as she has had about 40 years experience with us guys. Also then Grannie can see Pride whenever she wants to.

Grannie told me to tell y'all that she will get pictures as soon as possible, but she is real busy right now.
So Adios for now. Tex!

Hee, Hee, Hee, I got Grannie to post just for me! Ruby

Don't tell anybody but I got Grannie to post just for Me, Hi I am Ruby, "The Integalactic Gumshoe". I thought being as Grannie is on the blog she would sneak one in just for me. I wanted her to show everybody my picture too, I am the one on the left and Lilly is the one on the right. I am the cute one! I told Grannie since I was so good at the vet to get my rabies shots and the guys too, we need to update our blog. See Grannie is such a push over. I will keep trying between Mom and I to get more blogs on the web!

These are the boys that drive Ruby crazy!

2009-10-08T18:41:00.002-05:00

Ruby insisted that I get Mom to post the, "Mug Shots", of those boys. Mom says they are just, "Good Ole' Boys doing what Good Ole' Boys do"! Oh well, I guess so, because we are still family at the end of the day. We always look out for each other and like that ole' saying, "Blood is Thicker than Water", although the love to play in the water and I do too. After all Ruby and I have to keep up with the guys!

Well, I finally got Momma to post again. Gee, this is tough work!

2009-10-08T18:29:00.003-05:00

Hi everybody, Ruby and I are kinda blue because one of us girls went to KY. She is my first to leave home, the first picture is to make sure she fit comfortably in the kennel, and the second picture to make sure she got her grooming done before her vet check and her flight. Lilly has 3 boys to look after, a momma, daddy, a boxer and a toy poodle. So I guess she won't be bored. Oh well, I guess they have to grow up and leave home eventually. But we still have all the boys around. Ruby, Mom, and I will just have to go and sit out with the cows I guess.

My family is Growing!

Sorry everybody it took so long to update my blog. Ya see my mom has been very busy and I have had one heck of a time to get her to, "Get around to It". I nearly have to bite her in the, well you know where. LOL. Anyway, Big Bubba and I well, now our pups are over 15 pounds each and they are 9 weeks old. We are so proud of them. My greatgrandma came by yesterday to help celebrate my, "Dad's Birthday", and to see us and the babies, (puppies). Even greatgrandma had a hard time going back to Houston without one of the, "little guys", I think she wants a girl this time and we still have 2 of them also. Well, please enjoy the pictures and keep nagging my human Mom to update my blog regularly!

Sorry about taking so long to post.

2009-07-17T09:43:00.003-05:00

Ya see Bailey and I have been busy. We have our first family. We had 2 girls and 5 boys, and we are so proud of them. Also Bailey himself has been very busy he has another family on the way as well. He has been also a stud dog. Lucky guy, he is out fooling around while I'm stuck here in this room tending to the babies. Just like a Stud Dog. lol Anyway we are all as fine as wine. Mom and Dad are at my beck and call 24 hours a day. Gee, a girl could get used to this very easily. Mom said its like I am a restaurant drive in. The pups need to make sure they are in the correct stall and I deliver the food to them when they order.

Gee we really love our new family and we only want the best for them. We want them to grow up and be a large contribution to society. That's what us Airedales are all about. We want them to go to families that need lots of playing, joking around, hugs, and most of all loves! See Mom is such a mother hen. She wants to keep in touch with the families and the puppies as they grow up and become a member of their new families. Mom and Dad want them to grow up to be just like us. (Now that can be a good thing or a bad thing). LOL. Oh well keep in touch and visit our website at www.bigbendairedaleshome.com

We will be happy to meet you!

We've been busy!

The Big, "Bubba", is growing!

2009-06-12T07:19:00.003-05:00

The photo to the right was taken last Sunday and the one below was taken 10/07. As you can see big ole, "Bubba", is growing. Well I insisted that Mom post something on my blog and this is what I got. Pictures about Bailey, oh well, he is just a big sweet push over and everybody just loves him. He still thinks he should drive but there is a problem about that concept but he doesn't want to believe me. No thumbs! Besides we are Airedales and we never drive, we have chauffeurs and, "People", for that kind of stuff.

Finally got my hair done!

2009-04-06T10:08:00.001-05:00

Mom and I were kidding around in front of the camera and she got a picture of me with the wind blowing my ears up. We both thought it was so funny. How do you like my, "new do"?

Well its a new year!

2009-03-22T14:49:00.007-05:00

Well everybody my momma has had a time with getting a new battery for the digital camera but I did manage to get her to take a few pictures earlier this year when I was working on my scent library. Momma says in order for me to be the best hunting gal I can I have to have a scent library to refer back to. Like how a skunk smells and a raccoon smells or rabbits. Heck, it doesn't matter to me because they are all on my list.

Well on St. Patrick's day my boyfriend Bailey, "Bubba", got the great idea to go paint the town, "Green", so me being the kind of gal that I am and that I love my Bubba so much I couldn't help but to follow him. Mom went out to check on us and we were not home and when she called for us still nothing. Dad went out on the 4 wheeler and Mom got in the car and with the cell phones were trying to find us to no avail. Mom called everybody in the county not to mention all the folks they drove by that would know us. Well after a few hours I got tired and couldn't follow him around, not to mention that our neighbors told Mom and Dad they saw us waltzing across Texas on the farm road not too far from our home by about a couple of miles. Well after it got dark I didn't want to go any further. Mom and Dad were worried so much and all the neighbors were on the look out for us. Then the next day Bubba finally made it home and told my mom that I was coming. Well, after a while she was still afraid that maybe something happened to me because I am so much sweeter and younger than big ole' Bubba. Well he was so tired he came in and got a little bite to eat and a little water and went to go lay down. Then about 2 hours later I finally got home. Mom was so happy to see I was back and safe and sound. Same for me, I was tuckered out too. I guess Mom pick up on that we had dinner out and got something to drink too. We were not all that hungry nor thirsty. But, boy was I pooped out! I mean I was tired. Mom was so happy to see us all she could do is hug us and tell is she was so afraid and missed us too. Then when Dad got home from work he felt the exact same way. Mom was so happy she called all the neighbors and friends that we were back home. Oh, Mom also wants to give Apache's Tribe and their folks a great big, "Thank You", for all of your prayers as well. Mom guess estimates that we were gone for about 16 hours. Boy, we were so tired we slept all Thursday, and Friday. Did Bubba learn anything from this excursion, "NO", but I'm not so sure if I will follow him next time. Dad said he is going to fix the fence and get one of those GPS collars for Bubba being as he gets lost. I just try to keep track of him so I know where he is even though he doesn't know, I know exactly where we are, Lost!

Well at least we didn't get a yelling at or a paddling, after all it never works anyway because we live in the moment and don't know what all that is for anyway. We just came home and Mom and Dad were so happy to have us back and Mom was praising Jesus for all of his blessings and especially that we are home and OK.

I am thankful too!

We had a Great Christmas!

Hi everybody,

It took a while and a lot of growling and barking at my mom but I finally got her to update my blog. I wanted to tell everybody about the new toys my boyfriend, Bailey and I got. We got pig ears, rawhide sticks, and tug ropes without the knots. See my best friend blogger Apache and her tribe have already warned us about being careful about those ropes and the knots that are on them and how harmful they can be. Mom won't let me and Bailey, (Bubba, I call him Bubba for short because he is such a good ole' boy), with the ropes without hooman supervision! She gets very upset with us when we do. She says she loves us so much and doesn't want us to get hurt and she can't afford the vet bills in this economy, or whatever that is, she tries to explain but I get board during the middle of the conversation and run off to go play and shake my noisy fishy then Mom just says, "Oh, well at least they know they are loved"!

So anyway I insisted that Mom put our pictures on the blog with us and our new toys. So please enjoy the pictures. Later!

Snow!

2008-12-20T13:28:00.003-06:00

Wow! We got snow and we haven't had that stuff from what Mom says since waaaayyyy before I was born, auctually about 5 or more years ago! Bailey and I made Airedale Snow Angles but it was so dark the camera couldn't get the shot so Mom posted what she could and what came out. So please enjoy the snow, we get it is so very rarely down here!

2008-12-08T09:09:00.004-06:00

Well, here we go again, I told my mom that there are folks trying to reach us and she is trying to figure out how to allow them to blog on my page but she can't figure out how to make her fingers work to allow that to happen. She is still working on it. I told her that Apache's Mom said to allow the cookies to come in so they can be posted but my mom looked at the tool bar and there wasn't anything there about, "options or cookies" she said maybe its because she uses Safari and not Explorer. So now she is on the Windows side of her computer and she had the options to allow cookies and maybe this will fix the problem. I am keeping my toes crossed if I could cross them, but being as I have webbed feet I don't think that is going to happen. So Mom said to pray to God that maybe he will guide her fingers in the right order to fix the problem. We will see how it goes from here!

Now about yesterday afternoon, my Hooman daddy decided to let my boyfriend, "Bubba", Bailey off the leash yesterday and he did ok except for the time he decided to play traffic cop on the road. See we live out in the country on a dirt road, so its not like a major freeway. However, my mom was still yelling at both my dad and my boyfriend to stop playing traffiic cop so Bubba, decided to run down to the pond and stir up a bunch of robins. Last time he was down there he found a couple of does. My mom says to leave the does along because that is all the deer we have around here and she hopes they have babbies. So I was going to go running out in the pasture but I decided with all of the yelling Mom was doing to stay by her side so I don't get yelled at like that either. So we finished cleaning up the yard infront of the barn and Dad finished putting up the light over the double doors for the barn. Gee, it is really going to be nice in there. Dad is going to put the doggie door in and the second ref. in and the extra microwave and watercooler so I will always have cool water while I am in there with my babbies. Mom says that won't be for a couple of years to come and Bailey/Bubba willl have the barn for those four special seasons when I have to be away from my boyfriend so I don't have babbies too soon. We are practicing safe sex. Mom says abstance is the best answer until we are both fully grown and know how to handle babbies. That's ok I love to babby my momma and she loves to cuddle with me when I do. She always says that I am so sweet, smart, gentle, tender and loving. All the good stuff to be a great Momma! So I know I will be a great Momma when the time comes because she tells me so. Well, I have to take my puppy nap and my Momma has to get back to the other work.I asked her if she could put up a picture of me and Bubba/Bailey and she said she will try to later.

Well I am new here so please be patient with me. Thanks

Hi, I'm Ms. Shadaisymae Johnson and I am new here and new to blogging. So please bear with me and my mom. Like all Hoomans she still has to try and figure this thing out. I tell her what to do but she has to figure out how to do it. She is getting a lot of help from Apache's Hooman but personally I think something gets lost in the translation. Too bad they don't speak canine then everybody would know what is going on.

So back to helping my Mom, Hooman how to work this stuff, Later.
