Yesterday was a rather interesting day.
Started by going to the range, I put the target out a little farther at 25 yards. Had some problems with the 9mm ammo, it looks like the 4 grains of Unique we've been using is just on the edge of not being enough to eject the shell. So I shot about 100 rounds with the Beretta, then I went to shooting a gong at 20 yards with the Rock and did good, only shot about 35 rounds, I needed to save most of my .45 ammo for Sunday's shoot. I tried out our new 200 grain SWC rounds that we made. Only one jammed and it looks like it wasn't sized right but the rest went great.
I had an hour appointment in the middle of the day, so off I went, and when my husband and son showed up to pick me up, of all things, he had a puppy in his arms! Well, with 4 dogs already I was looking at him a little crossly, or at least till the pup jumped into my arms. Ok, so the story is that they went to the animal shelter (thats where most of our animals come from) But before he got inside a lady pulled up got out and handed him this dog. She works and couldn't take care of him, she found him wandering the streets a week ago, skin and bones. She doesn't want him to get put down (the shelter can't even call if that is going to happen!) so my husband agreed to take him and try and find him a home, if he couldn't he would call her before considering going to the shelter with him.
Needless to say, I think he found a home. He looks to be about 12 weeks old or maybe a little older. He seems to be Chihuahua/rat tarrier mix, very small, all white with a lavender nose (I know it sounds funny, but it's true) and apple green eyes! Not very good pics this time but there will be more. My husband calls him Taz, but his official name (As named by the guys at the range and me) is Savage O'Neall La Blanc.
So you can see next to my normal sized pillow that he is small. but oh so cute!
Ok, so we get home, and any of you following my blog knows about Charlie. Well we left him loose in the house while we were gone. We had stopped by the store and picked up a bottle of wine and some cheese. So I have bag with the wine and cheese in one hand, and a puppy in the other, and unlock the door and Charlie charges me wanting out! So I've got my hands full, so the only thing I can think to do is use my legs to keep him in place till my husband can get there. Well I'm basically trying to sit on Charlie, and he just keeps pushing and he pushed me of the front steps backwards (oh yea I was up two cinder block steps) our path to the front door is red brick. I smacked my head rather good. Mostly at the time I was worried about the puppy in my arms, once I knew he was ok, I was worried about if I had broken the wine bottle, and by some miracle I hadn't! So I just had a bad headache for a while but then forgot all about it last night. I woke up this morning with a splitting headache almost a migraine, a stiff neck, and stiff other parts, bruises all over, a good an painful lump on my head, unable to handle noise, and an upset stomach. All I could do was sleep as much as I could and not move. I slept till after noon then was able to eat a little and get some pain killers in and some nice hot cocoa. I'm still really stiff, and using my laptop in bed is about all I can do, in fact now I need to lay down and do some more sleeping. OUCH! I'm just really praying that I'll be ok enough tomorrow to compete! Oh well, I guess thats what happens when your accident prone! Wish me luck.
Have a bangtastic day!
