  <description>Here is the latest litter. Enjoy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/000azqay/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/000azqay/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; height=&quot;235&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other news, Hudson doesn&apos;t seem to be getting any worse and his pox don&apos;t seem to be progressing to anything worse. Hmmm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, today I am going up to the school at 11:30am to watch Kaleb read his poem out in front of the school. He&apos;s a brave one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love, Sonia :)</description>

  <title>Puppies galore</title>
  <link>http://sbrande.livejournal.com/187093.html</link>
  <description>Here they are. 19 little puggies. They are A LOT of work. Ahhhhh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/000arktp/&quot;&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;320&quot; height=&quot;239&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/000arktp/s320x240&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Claudia&apos;s - 4. The youngest at only 4 days. She did have 5, but one of the boys died :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/000as7sa/&quot;&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;274&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/000as7sa/s320x240&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keiko&apos;s litter. And yes, she did have 7! The second youngest at 1 week old.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/000atrz6/&quot;&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;242&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/000atrz6/s320x240&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spice&apos;s litter 3 boys and 1 girl. These guys will be 3 weeks on Friday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/000awdsw/&quot;&gt;&lt;img width=&quot;320&quot; height=&quot;239&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/000awdsw/s320x240&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These guys were born on the same day. Melly had the big blonde girl, second closet one, whilst Alaska had the 3 others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those of you out there that have raised dogs before have NEVER raised pug pups. The problem with them, and all flat faced breeds, is the fact that they don&apos;t break the babies out of the sack, so you have to wait and watch them and then get up and break the sacks otherwise the babies will drown and die. You have to put them on a heating pad, after drying them thoroughly, and make sure that you have all of the fluid out of their lungs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most pug mums are stupid and won&apos;t clean the babies, so you have to toilet them every 2 hrs, using a tissue, and then psychically hold down the mum while trying to put the babies on.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just feed all 4 litters and it took me over an hour to do so. Joy! But they are such a joy to have. I love the pugs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love Sonia :)</description>

  <title>SS/HG Awards.</title>
  <link>http://sbrande.livejournal.com/184372.html</link>
  <description>Hey there. I have one story that is eligible and it is my baby.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Descending into Obscurity (RS) by sbrande &lt;br /&gt;Category: Fire &amp; Ice (HG/SS) • Characters: Hermione, Lucius, Remus, Snape&lt;br /&gt;Genres: Action/Adventure, Alternate Universe, Angst, Hurt/Comfort • Warnings: Adult Content, DH disregarded, Dubious Consent, Graphic Sexuality, Language, Non-consensual, Violence&lt;br /&gt;Published: 08-21-2008 • Updated: 08-13-2009 • Chapters: 13 • Words: 53476 • Reads: 3234 • Completed: No&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Link: &lt;a href=&quot;http://owl.tauri.org/stories.php?psid=7605&quot;&gt;http://owl.tauri.org/stories.php?psid=7605&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I may not have as many stories as some people do, but it takes me a lot longer to write anything. For those of you that don&apos;t know, I was in a coma at the age of 12, and when I woke up I went from the top of my class in an all girls private school, to the bottom as I had to learn to read, walk, and talk all over again. So I may be a little slower than most, but I will get there in the end ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Loves you, Sonia :)</description>

  <title>My newest tat - SS/HG</title>
  <link>http://sbrande.livejournal.com/177497.html</link>
  <description>Yes, I finally caved and got an SS/HG tat on my back in-between (and below) the three Unforgivables. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Firstly I&apos;d like to thank &lt;span class=&apos;ljuser  ljuser-name_iqeret&apos; lj:user=&apos;iqeret&apos; style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://iqeret.livejournal.com/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif&apos; alt=&apos;[info]&apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://iqeret.livejournal.com/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;iqeret&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;for allowing me to use her art. Thanks babe! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Secondly, Hermione does not have red hair, that&apos;s just my blood, LOL! Like I said, this was just done not 30 mins ago. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Loves to all, Sonia :) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/000a4gwg/&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;240&quot; width=&quot;169&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/000a4gwg/s320x240&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;</description>

They are tame and let you pick them up. My favourite is Severus because he is the fattest. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love Sonia :)</description>

  <title>Sonia, where are you?</title>
  <link>http://sbrande.livejournal.com/173986.html</link>
  <description>Well as you all probably know I got back to Australia on the Tuesday and straight away was back into the swing of things with the two Hav&apos;s having their litters on the Wednesday morning. They were waiting for me to get back I swear it! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, one of the Hav&apos;s that had 4 puppies, lost 3 of the 4 in 3 days. So she only has one left. She won&apos;t be bred from again. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Behind the cut are pics of the one Hav, Tilly,&amp;nbsp;with her 6 pups, (didn&apos;t bother to take one of the one surviving pup, which is doing well btw) a shot of Remus (my how he has grown!) at 8 months old with my youngest son, Hudson, 7, and an awesome HP poster that I bought and laminated yesterday. It is on my kitchen wall. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009y3h0/&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;239&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009y3h0/s320x240&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Tilly and pups! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009z0w4/&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;240&quot; width=&quot;192&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009z0w4/s320x240&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Remus (Irish Wolfhound at 8 months) and Hudson. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/000a0yq7/&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;240&quot; width=&quot;162&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/000a0yq7/s320x240&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Awesom HP poster hanging in my kitchen! &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So in short I have been flat out here in-between dancing (Hudson is taking his ballet exams on the 17th of August which means extra lessons), puppies and dogs, as well as trying to keep my house clean. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love Sonia :) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

  <title>The Hunt -  Part 3</title>
  <link>http://sbrande.livejournal.com/171917.html</link>
  <description>This is the final part to the story. It is dedicated to Annika for her birthday, love ya babe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Hunt &amp;ndash; Part 3&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a good nights sleep I had made up my mind that I needed to try something quieter then a 4-wheeler, so I borrowed a neighbours golf cart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I drove around for what seemed like hours before finally spotting Fenrir running down the road.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009k0tk/&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009k0tk/s320x240&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Things quickly turned nasty, and I found myself face to face with the werewolf.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009pqra/&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009pqra/s320x240&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was then that I realised I was out of my depth, and had no chance of winning a battle of hand to hand combat. So, without my wand to save me, I had to resort to a Muggle invention called a &amp;lsquo;gun&amp;rsquo;.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leaving the golf cart I took off on foot looking for the werewolf.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009qs5g/&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009qs5g/s320x240&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;He snuck up behind me even with my acute sense of smell and hearing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009rk3k/&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009rk3k/s320x240&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, I managed to get him in my sights with the &amp;lsquo;gun&amp;rsquo;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009saxf/&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009saxf/s320x240&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I shot him with a silver bullet, and hauled him onto the 4-wheeler.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009t769/&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;259&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009t769/s320x240&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Here are the pictures of me for the Ministry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009c10z/&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;319&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009c10z/s320x240&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009whq4/&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;250&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009whq4/s320x240&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009xqc6/&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009xqc6/s320x240&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I returned to England a hero for capturing a known war criminal. Back to my wife and child no longer feeling inadequate for I had taken down the mighty Fenrir Greyback, all without the use of Magic. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE END!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dix says she will post when she has her internet back up. Am heading to San Fran today to stay with Amy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love you guys, Sonia :)</description>

  <title>The Hunt - Part 2</title>
  <link>http://sbrande.livejournal.com/171267.html</link>
  <description>Dedicated to Annika for her birthday. Loves ya babe!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Hunt &amp;ndash; Part 2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feeling giddy that I had caught a glimpse at Fenrir, I knew I had to learn his habits and hideouts. So I began inconspicuously to track and follow the werewolf. He was always one step ahead however, used to living off the land and keeping fit by chasing the deer that lived in the surrounding areas. So, I borrowed one of the locals 4-wheeler to get a lay of the land. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009dhc3/&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009dhc3/s320x240&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Finally at nightfall, I caught up with him trying to break into one of the houses. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009eq77/&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;250&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009eq77/s320x240&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Lucky for the inhabitants of the house the sound of the 4-wheeler spooked him off and he made his way off into the woods where unfortunately I could not follow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009f4kd/&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;172&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009f4kd/s320x240&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Dumping the 4- wheeler, I tracked him on foot into the graveyard, but his powers of evasion were too much for me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009g3rh/&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;212&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009g3rh/s320x240&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009h4kq/&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;220&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009h4kq/s320x240&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deciding to call it a night, I went back to my room to sleep and try and come up with someway I could capture him tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stay tuned for part 3 of The Hunt tomorrow.

  <title>The Hunt</title>
  <link>http://sbrande.livejournal.com/170927.html</link>
  <description>An early birthday present for Annika.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love and miss you babe. ENJOY!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Hunt &amp;ndash; Part 1&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I knew he was alive. After the war I could sense that he had fled the scene like a dog with his tail between his legs. He had to be stopped, and as the Ministry refused to go after him, it was left to me to hunt down my tormentor. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Ministry had threatened me and told me to let the Auror&amp;rsquo;s do their job. After seeing their performance during the war I was very doubtful that they would apprehend the murderer, but being a werewolf I was in danger of residing in Azkaban with the Death Eaters that had survived the war if I intervened. It was eating me apart, and at every full moon I could sense our link and knew that he had escaped the UK, but for where I was uncertain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a particularly hard transformation, I had had enough. Saying good-bye to my wife, Tonks, and young son, Teddy, I packed a bag with a few tattered pieces of clothing and started my life as a Muggle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/000974a6/&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/000974a6/s320x240&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My beautiful wife!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had heard rumours that Fenrir had fled to America, but where would a vicious werewolf go? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I started searching down South. A lone werewolf could vanish if they tried and knowing Fenrir would endeavour to be as inconspicuous as possible, I thought he would disappear into the countryside and feast on the small animals that it provided. After months of searching I finally got wind that a creature that had been spotted in the wilderness of Alabama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I asked around, the people were extremely frightened to leave their home at night as what had been described as a large, vicious dog had been spotted in the area taking down cattle and goats, even being so bold as to take horses, cats and dogs that had strayed too far.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A farmer had taken a picture of Greyback going after his cattle and I knew he lived somewhere close by.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/00095za4/&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/00095za4/s320x240&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then the farmer startled him and was lucky to get away with his life.&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009602e/&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009602e/s320x240&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went down into the farmers fields and saw Fenrir hiding in a tree. I startled him, and chased him through a field before he got away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/00098xdt/&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/00098xdt/s320x240&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009905b/&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009905b/s320x240&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fenrir up a tree.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009akkr/&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;238&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009akkr/s320x240&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009bb8r/&quot;&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;201&quot; src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0009bb8r/s320x240&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fenrir running through the cotton fields.&lt;br /&gt;Stay tuned for the next part tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love Sonia and Dixie. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Go see &lt;span class=&apos;ljuser  ljuser-name_dixiebell12&apos; lj:user=&apos;dixiebell12&apos; style=&apos;white-space: nowrap;&apos;&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://dixiebell12.livejournal.com/profile&apos;&gt;&lt;img src=&apos;http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif&apos; alt=&apos;[info]&apos; width=&apos;17&apos; height=&apos;17&apos; style=&apos;vertical-align: bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;&apos; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&apos;http://dixiebell12.livejournal.com/&apos;&gt;&lt;b&gt;dixiebell12&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;for the blooper shots.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

  <title>Real life bites the big one.</title>
  <link>http://sbrande.livejournal.com/164263.html</link>
  <description>Just finished mowing the front and back lawn. The only thing I like about winter is the fact that I only have to mow the lawn once every 2-3 weeks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chickens are eating the grass in the puppy pen ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Long weekend this weekend, JOY.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing else much exciting happening here except for the fact that Hudson has to learn his character dance for his ballet exams on Monday and I had to buy him character shoes yesterday and a new black leotard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope my entire flist enjoys their weekend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love Sonia :)</description>

  <title>Money and pugs.</title>
  <link>http://sbrande.livejournal.com/163441.html</link>
  <description>Just forked out about $1500 for Home and Contents, travel, and car rego insurance. Phew, at least that is out of the way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lost one of the girl pug pups last night. It was bound to happen as I have been tube feeding her since she was little.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hudson wet the bed at 4am this morning so I am washing EVERYTHING and have been up since that time. Have both dryers going as it has been raining here. Grrr. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next chapter is up at Ashwinder, hopefully I can finish off ch 12 today and send it to my beta but don&apos;t hold your breath.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Busy, busy, busy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love Sonia :)</description>

  <title>My boys are WINNERS!</title>
  <link>http://sbrande.livejournal.com/162670.html</link>
  <description>Just got home from the Bop N Boogie Ball and Kaleb and Hudson&apos;s team, green, came 1st and they got the biggest trophy. And Hudson, who went as a werewolf, got the best costume award. He was 1 of 4 costumes chosen out of over 250 kids. WTG Hudson. And Kaleb tried his best too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0008k3kr/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://pics.livejournal.com/sbrande/pic/0008k3kr/s320x240&quot; width=&quot;180&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meet Jacob Black and Bilbo Baggins!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God I love my boys, they never think doing anything that I say is insane although most of the time it is. I tell them that you only live once and why not have some fun in life. They know that mum is crazy, but hey, they love me just the same.</description>
