Adventures of Stupid Dog

Well, today, my mom gets a call at her work....neighbor finds a dog, running around the block, and thinks..hey, that looks like it is a SHIOZAKI dog.....

well...she tries to catch it, but he runs away..and so she calls my mom at her work...and tells her that there is a dog, and she thinks it is our dog..running around the block, but she can't catch the dog.

Finally, she catches the dog after running down the VERIZON guys who were working in the backyard stringing up new cable lines...THEY forgot to LOCK and check the gate..so DUMB dog aka STUPID Dog...or ROCKIE...runs out...Amber/Roxy stayed in the yard..so she's no dummy, she probably had some relief from the dummy....

Well, both dogs are now back in the yard....

DUCK DUCK DUCK in the pool

Definitions.....

DOG: "dah-g"; Canine. 4 legged mammal with fur, warm blooded, not too smart, but loving and always happy.

This is our Dog. His name is Rockie. Ok, we talk about him being Stupid dog all the time, but he's really not that stupid. He's just a loveable mug of a Golden Retriever. I wish he would not have to be on leash, (it isn't because he is vicious.., it is only because he runs away..and thinks it is fun to have humans chasing him..it is not funny)

This is Rockie and "Amber". We're trying to change her name to ROXY. but, she's a beautiful girl. We need to find a home for her..anyone?
DUCK: duh-ck; Bird family, 2 legs, webbed feet, lays eggs, male has green head, with yellow band around neck, female has brown feathers, plain.



These ducks seem to think that this female is so beautiful, and so they are keeping her company....lol

The come each year to swim for a day or so in our pool. Many years ago, about 12-13 years, Tori saw them in the pool, and of course like a good mom, I didn't believe that there were ducks in our pool...so, I told her to get ready and we had to go to school...and..as I was walking to the garage, through the backyard, I saw ducks....

We've had eggs in our back yard from time to time, but they never hatch, but the ducks come back....and swim...

funny....but it always adds a little fun to our lives...we like them coming back each year!

last year, we had 2 male ducks.....gay? or brothers?....but at least this time, they brought a female with them....

Manzanar

Mom was cleaning..and found this Manzanar project I did in 4th Grade! Well, it was really dusty, and although we took photos a long time ago, when I did this, it was on film, not digital..so we dusted it off and then I took photos (actually, i threw it away, and then we thought of taking photos...so after glueing it together...I took photos).....

My Grandpa was sent to Manzanar when he was 5 years old. His mom and dad were both sent there, after Pearl Harbor was bombed on December 7th 1941. He was first sent to Santa Anita, for sorting, and then his family was taken to the desert near Mount Whitney to Manzanar. It was a very sad chapter in the history of the United States. Over 30,000 Japanese AMERICANS were shipped off without due process to camps to be isolated from America. They told the Americans that this was for their safety. But they suspected these thousands of Americans of being spies for the Japanese Armies. My grandpa had never been to Japan, and his mother was an American citizen. She was born in Long Beach, CA, in 1914. My great Grandpa was from Hiroshima, but came to the US in 1921, during the depression. He worked hard, growing flowers (carnations) and wasn't military or a spy for anyone.

My Grandma was sent to Gila. She was almost sent back to Japan, but they ended up staying in Ca...

New Lens to use at games!

Well....I got a new lens..and wow does it make a difference!
Look at this sign all the way across the court! I can get this close to it now!

This is using the "OLD" lense, which is a regular lense, for taking normal photos..I can't get up close, and I think this is the closest I can get to the game.












Now with the NEW lense, I can get closer to the players. You can see how much better you get shots!

This was a short time Tori played in the game. She didn't play long, but....we were losing anyways.
You can see Carly Lindley in the back..she's number 5 for Poly High School.

This is Tori guarding this girl. She was

tall, fast and Good!
