It has been a wild season for the Tennessee Titians so far, standing at 4-0 is big in this league. Few teams that start badly make the playoffs and getting a good start is huge. The team goes to Baltimore this weekend now that is a grudge match for sure. As the years change and teams evolve some of your hate never leaves a team. We used to be in the same division as Baltimore, playing them twice a year and some years in the playoffs as well, when you play a team that much you build up hate and resentment and it never leaves for sure. GO TITIANS.

With the three day weekend we have made plans to take the dogs down to the lake and have a bbq. The dogs love the lake, with one exception they do not like the over abundance of people that will be there and we have to keep them on leashes so they do not get loose and create havoc. Dottie has been swimming in the lake since she was a baby and she loves to paddle around and bark it is a sight. Looks like a little motor boat going in circles. I think we will have a blast and can not wait for the bbq to begin.

One of the things that I really love is football season here in the south. I have been to several of the Titians games as well as several Vanderbilt games since I have moved here. In the ten years since I moved to this mecca of southern football I have even been to a bunch of high school games, I watch the Titians on TV every week if I do not go to the game in person. I am a big fan of the two teams from Oklahoma and watch them when ever they make the scheduale here, which is more than I thought it would be. I can not wait for football season to start and YES girls can like football too.

Our yard has been over run with a huge assortment of critters this weekend. We had deer, rabbits, skunks, and moles visit us this weekend. It about drove the dogs crazy to have all the different critters out in the yard and no way for them to get at them. They only had one option, to bark their heads off and that in turn drove us half crazy. We live with in a half mile of Percy Priest Lake and we do get a lot of wildlife in our area. Over the years we have had huge turtiles in the yard along with various other wildlife. I do not mind the critters if the dogs could just tone it down a little and not go crazy every time we have a visitor.

We had a very nice dinner of grilled bone in rib eye steaks, of course that means two bones for five dogs to share. No good way to spread the bones out between the dogs so the two winners of the bone derby were the two biggest dogs the three pups had to wait their turn to get their paws on the traveling bones. Now Crash has one of the bones and is not about to let any of the other dogs get close to the bone until he is done with it. We just took the dogs outside so the race was on to get back in the house first and grab up what was left of the rib eye bones. Let the battle begin.
