Some Things HAVE To Be Mentioned

So we traveled to Oklahoma for an extended weekend visit with my MIL and SIL.

As previously mentioned, Wonderful Guy’s sister works at the local animal shelter (as one of her two jobs).  It is a job that she is well-suited for, and for which I admire her.  Our visits always include a trip to the shelter to see the current residents, and some of her stories amaze me.  While my heart would be broken, hers fills up for these furry guys.  I leave there amazed at her capabilities and effectiveness at the job she does.

Also, I leave trying to figure out how I can get some of those kitties home with me.

And this time?  While I am usually passing over the dogs pretty quickly, this time one struck me pretty good.  I kept thinking about this guy, and talking to the Guy about how ‘we could manage’.


Except we really couldn’t.  But Montana sure did get into my head.  And frankly, is still there.

85%  Timberwolf/dog mix


Five Orange Felines


Posing Puppies


Friendly Ferrets


Whatcha’ doin’ with that camera??


The shelter is not the only local happening place.  There is also the  Toy and Action Figure Museum.

Oh, yes there is!  Thousands upon thousands of larger and smaller toys and posable action figures, in various scenarios, displays cases, and dioramas.  It was truly…interesting.

Also, it made me want to watch Star Wars and Lord of the Rings again.

I think there is a special place in heaven for shelter workers. Sure like the pictures of the critters.

Ooooooooooooooh! I want the kitties!!! I just have to be patient. My day will come...

I can see why Montana got into your head. I'm a cat lover, and even I could fall head over heals over him!

Had no clue there could be any such thing as an action figure museum. Anything that inspires rewatching of Star Wars has GOT to be cool!

Feel free to watch the whole Lord of the Rings trilogy but don't get any big ideas. I called dibs on Viggo many moons ago.

Now. About that dog! You've gotta get him. Look at him! He is dying to go bike riding with you!

Sign me up for that pile of kitties.

That gang of orange is just too cute! Hard to picture them grown up laying in the sun. They look like they could chase a feather on a string forever!

    ...to my humble effort. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and I hope you find something mildly interesting, slightly amusing, barely creative, or at the very least, not too terribly trite.
