Polo Shirts and St. Lucia

Yep, Amy's finally gone over the edge!! I came home the other day and came to the door to find my wife Amy holding our two bichons, bear and zeke (in case you didn't know their names, it's only part of our extremely long web address). I then noticed that those two jokers were wearing POLO shirts...Bear in a red 3 button polo and zeke in a blue and white striped. I have to say they were pretty cute. We'll post some pics of them here in a sec.





Also, we have finally chosen our second vacation spot for the summer. After many many hours of searching and digging through various travel sites, Ol' Lips found the perfect hidden gem of the Caribbean. It's located on the northern coast of St. Lucia in a place called Gros Inlet. We'll be going there July 24th-31st. Here are some pics of this bad boy.

The Goose



Tonight Amy and I took our Bichons to Joe Farmer park here in Allen. We often times go to this spot because it is a nice contrast to the concrete that is most of the city of Allen. This park has a few ponds where ducks, geese, and the like gather. So there we were, bichons in hand, strolling along, and then suddenly, there was a boy chasing a goose. We thought that he was picking on it but in fact he was trying to help it because there was a fishing line tightly wrapped around its large orange leg leaving the bottom part of the leg purplish blue. So Ole' Lips came bounding to the rescue. First, I shifted to my abilities as a Duck Whisperer and calmed the fowl down. I caressed his long neck and then started digging out the fishing line. Within a matter of 5 minutes, I had the goose unbound and was massaging his leg to get the blood to circulate back to his extremity. I arose to a standing ovation with the galley waving banners, foam number one fingers, and American flags. What a night. Here is a picture of the type of goose that will swim for many more days because of my heroism.
