MACK IS BACK!!!!!!

Mack is back!!!!He's home safe with us, hungry, thirsty, absolutely filthy but we don't care, he's back with us!!!!!
A lady called me about 10:15pm tonight and said, did you find your dog? I said , no, we haven't. She said she thought she just saw him down the road and to hurry. Of course I ran in the car flew up the road and there he was wandering around. He went right to her, she came to meet me and got ahold of him. He was so freaked out, he didn't know what to do. So I praised her and put him in the car and Turner started yelling. He was so excited!
He has thorns and stickers all over him since he has so much hair so he ate and drank and we gave him a bath and now he wont leave my side and just keeps staring at me!
Thank you so much for all of your prayers and thoughtful words. You wouldn't believe some of the things that people were saying to me when I was passing out fliers. It was awful! So I appreciate you all and especially the lady down the road. I have her name and number on caller id so am going to call and bring her a present tomorrow!
Thanks again, our best friend is back!!!!

Mack's Missing!!!!!Please pray for safe,quick return!!!

So I went to walk our dog tonight about 10:40pm and he took off after a cat and hasn't returned. Me and many neighbors frantically searched for him for hours and can't find him. Johnny even came home from working night shift and scoured the woods around the house for hours to no avail. Please pray for Mack's safe and quick return. He sleeps at the foot of Turner's bed every night as you can see and just don't know what we'd do without him. Dogs really are a part of your family!

After shedding so many tears tonight, pray for me to aslo keep my strength to 'talk' to Turner tomorrow with wise words and a strong heart. T knows he's missing but fell asleep in my bed while we were searching around the house. It's hard not to blame yourself, ya know?. I'll keep ya posted!

Hope there's never a fire!!!!

Don't have pics of this one bc I'd have to post a Warning:!

So doorbell rang the other day, dog went barking and child ran yelling to the door. Guess we don't have visitors often enough!? It was the Loudon County Volunteer Fire Dept. He's doing his speal and asking for donations for new equipment and hopefully we wont ever need them bc we aren't in the city-blah blah. I fully intend on writing a check before he went on with his speech. Well, Turner of course raises his hand to give a high five and the very nice gentlemen says, 'well, buddy maybe I'll take a raincheck on that high five" I was kinda perplexed and was thinking man, that was almost rude..UNTIL... I looked down from trying to block the dog from running out the door and noticed that Turner with his hand still raised-has NO pants on, NO underwear on, NOTHING but a shirt that was obviously too small!!!! So, I gasped-"Turner go put some clothes on" with an embarrased grin, then I kinda pushed him around the dog to go run and get clothes on, he trips over the vacuum cleaner exposing even more than he had before and now not only do I look like a bad mom, I look like an abusive, horrible mom!!!!!

I looked at Turner and said, "did you trip over the vacuum cleaner?" even though it was obvious. He was screaming and crying of course bc he had an aduience-"no you pushed me down!!!"

So I looked at the nice Fireman and asked if he could come back Friday, he said sure is this 170 or 160. I said 170, I'm so sorry, crazy day!? He said, "no problem, I understand". This was over a week ago!!!!!

Do I even need to tell you that the Loudon County Volunteer Fire Dept. has NOT been back to our house to collect their donations from the Deakins Family?????!!!!!!

How embarassing!!!!!
