It started on a Sunday...

So I don't journal except on my own computer in word...you know, the usual private journal.  I thought I might share with whomever reads this, just why I started a blog of all things.

About 3 to 4 weeks ago, my little brother was diagnosed with Sarcoma cancer in his left leg.  He's now in Memphis, TN with my Mom which leaves me at home to watch the house and the dogs.  This is how I am helping my Mom...it gives her a peace of mind that she knows that the house isn't just sitting there empty and that the dogs are being taken care of.

After settling into my whole routine at the house, one of Nick's friends and his dad stopped by the house to drop something off.  It was a little bag full of cool stuff that Nick had saved for me and he had sent it home with his friend's dad.  Out of all that was there, one thing really stuck out.  It was a little stuffed animal...it was the Target Dog...you know, like the one on their commercials!!  I was just happy as can be and I named it Artie.

So that is the back story on how I got Artie the Target Dog.  It was on a random Sunday that I decided to bring Artie to church with me.  I brought my camera with me as well and so the adventures of Artie the Target Dog began.  I am going to bring Artie with me to as many places as I possibly can and take pictures of him with as many people and things as possible.  Think of him as "Flat-Stanley" but in a stuffed animal doggie kind of way.  I'm going to post my pictures here so anyone can see them and so people can enjoy them.

I mean pictures are pointless if they only go from your camera to your computer and nowhere else, right?

So enjoy the little things in life and tell everyone that you know just how much you love and appreciate them.
