Life Stuff:

Hello, wonderful blog subscribers! Can you believe it is August already? It seems like June was just yesterday! But... I digress.  Hopefully, everyone is staying cool out there. Here in Panama City, it's been HOT!  And the humidity? Ugh! Makes me thankful for air conditioning, let me tell ya. But again, I digress. :)


I'm so glad to be getting things back to normal at the Hurtt household. That deadline last month really threw me for a loop, but thank goodness that's done with for now. How have you been the past few months?


One thing that's new for us this month is we have added another member to the Hurtt Herd. (And it really is starting to be a herd around here. LOL) Last month, the Hubbins decided he wanted a man's dog, so I'm thrilled to introduce Berlynn. (see picture below)


Berlynn is a two-year-old German Shepherd that we rescued from the local pound. She has fit in quite nicely with our family and is especially fond of/fascinated with BlackJack the cat.

You'll have a blast with your new dog. We got one over Easter. I'm not a dog person and he's managed to work his way into my heart. lol :)

Hi Maxie, sorry to hear about your loss. I had a golden retriever that I grew up with that passed away a few years ago. She lived to be 19.

I'll add your granddaughter and daughter to the prayer list!

I am a long time dog lover but we lost our two babies and haven't decided if we want to get another dog.

Prayer request: my grandmother is batting cancer and in the hospital (doctors do not think it is related to her cancer). It is causing much stress in my family.

I am reading 3 book series called The Hawk and the Dove boy Penelope Wilcock. I wasn't sure I was going to like them, but have found them very interesting and realy deep. They take place in the 1200;s at a European monastary. They're like reading parables. I can't seem to find the survey I'm supposed to do on this page
