Not too long ago it was time for the 2009 Ducks Unlimited Dinner in Provo. This year it was hosted by the Dude and a couple of the Tiny Terrors were fortunate enough to attend.
Above, Maddi deposits tickets into a raffle bucket hoping to win a prize.
As you can see there are a lot of tickets in the bucket.
My good friend, Windmill Andy, concentrates hard to make sure he spells his name correctly on the silent auction.
Wolf and Little Martha are in attendance and keep the wine steward busy.
Oil Can and Windmill Andy enjoying life. Windmill underwent serious heart bypass surgery earlier this year and is now doing fine. He has had a strenuous recovery period and we are all glad to see him back on his feet and spreading his normal good cheer.
Little Dude sits by Oil Can. Oil Can is very happy whenever anyone is willing to sit by him in public.
Big Dude has a wicked smile on his face.
Alex is called up front to pull the winning ticket out of a bucket. The winner gets a new shotgun.
And the winner is........
The Dude!!!!!!!!!!Note: This gun and another that the Dude won will be given away along with many other items at a fund raising dinner which will be highlighted later in this posting.
In the next drawing, Maddi wins a BB gun.
In the next drawing, Maddi wins a BB gun.Right after that, the Wolf wins a 22 rifle and graciously gives it to Alex.
It happened the other day while we taking Spike on his daily run AKA known as the cat treeing run AKA known as the Costanza run.
Oil Can spotted a cat and we let Spike out of the the car. Suddenly there was another cat and before we knew it, both cats were up the same tree.
Spike looking up. It was a very proud moment for him.
Both cats looking down. It was a very embarassing moment for them.
After watching these intelligent impaired felines for a few minutes we left them in peace..
Spike was especially proud of his latest, possibly once in a lifetime, achievment.
About six weeks ago, as many of you know, The Dude's son in law, Needles Nate, was involved in a motorcycle accident. He suffered a broken neck and spinal cord injuries. Although Nate had good health insurance he is still in need of financial help for the long recovery process. The Dude and some of his friends are hosting a fundraising dinner on Nate's behalf. It will follow the same format as a Ducks Unlimited dinner with auctions and raffles. If possible, please try and attend, donate a prize, or buy some raffle tickets. Nate, his wife Kendall, and their daughter, Ashlyn are a terrific young family and will really appreciate any help you might be able to give. It also will be a very fun filled evening.
Thanks to all for tuning in. Next posting will be a report on Thanksgiving weekend.
Wolf and the two Tiny Terrors....
As Aunt Kristeen and Aunt Joanne always say, a family that shoots together stays together.
All in all, it was a fun filled dinner and we all look forward to the next one.
SPIKE SCORES A DOUBLE
SPIKE SCORES A DOUBLE
What exactly is a double?
In baseball it is a two base hit.
In fishing it is when you and your buddy each have one on at the same time.
It can also mean you are fishing with two flies and have a fish on each one.
In bird hunting it is when you shoot two birds quickly with consecutive shots.
And in the world of dogs it is when you tree two cats up the same tree at the same time.
In all of Spike's life, he has only been able to do this once.

Hey this is little dude, I sat down first and Oil Can sat beside me. The table was full so i had stay put. Look at the picture, I might loose my reputation sitting by him.
Andy
Thanks for showing the Tiny Terrors such a good time at the banquet. They felt pretty special! As a mother it makes me cringe just a little bit to see them holding guns so proudly, but what can I do? I don't have a fighting chance.
Oh little "Dude".. AKA Andy the African.. You will learn pretty fast that it is a pleasure and an honor to sit by Oil Can.. He can be your protector from Uncle Voo and his relentless string of crones that call him a friend... but your little attack on him might cost you much needed protection down the road... and for the record.. I sat down first.. and your reputation was tarnished the second you said hello to Voo... but you are forgiven... and have two strikes out of three left...
