After a lengthly break, Raw(e) is back! I'm so happy...I seriously love this blog hop.

This week's theme is pets/animals. My photo is of our 9 month old Labrador, Sarge.

I actually was going to use a photo I'd taken of our neighbor's cat, but I didn't know if they wanted me to use it on my blog :)

Sarge is the sweetest dog. He is so tolerant and amazing with kids. We love him to death :)

Do you have a dog?

PS It has been brought to my attention that my blog is too wide for some monitors. Do you have to scroll to the side to see everything? Please let me know ;)

This week's Raw(e) theme is "This Week" - you can enter in any photo that you've taken this week. Of course, that made this a little harder to find a picture since there wasn't a specific category it had to be in.

While we were at an outdoor mall yesterday, I snapped this picture of Lilly by a fountain... 

There's something about the blue of the water that draws me in. It's so cool and serene...two things I definitely need during this crazy week of finals, graduations, and overall business.

PS Tomorrow I'm going to try to start a blog hop...I'm putting up a MckLinky with my Happiness Is post. Just a head's up in case you want to join ;)

This week's Raw(e) theme is automotive. I had a hard time getting a picture (because of my too high standards)...I couldn't bring myself to just take a picture of any car...I had my heart set on getting an old car. Preferably from the 50s or 60s. (That is why this post is up late)
Finally, I got slightly desperate and decided to go on a walk around our neighborhood, with the intentions of trying to find a vintage car. So there I was walking around, when I heard siren after siren after siren. After siren. I had to know what was going on (Because I'm nosy like that...I guess reading all those Nancy Drew books when I was nine did something to me!). I tracked down the sirens, and finally got to the scene, which on a busy street about half a block from our house. There was a nursing home on fire, and there were, I kid not, eleven fire trucks, along with a couple ambulances and a TV reporter. I don't think anyone was seriously hurt, though. I saw one man on a stretcher who was being carried to an ambulance, but when I left - about twenty minutes later - it was still there.

After gawking (Why must we have such a morbid curiosity?! Can you believe I was looking to see injured people? It really bugs me that I'm like that.), I turned around to go home, and there was THE car. An old orange Ford pickup. I guess my curiosity payed off? ;)

I also won Raw(e) last week with my running photo! To say I was happy is an understatement. Anyway, because I won, I get to pick the winner for this week...my automotive picture isn't going to be in the contest (unless I pick my own, which I most definitely will NOT!), but I love Raw(e) too much to miss a week.
I'm looking forward to seeing y'all's photos!
