Okie's NW Corner

Woof! Woof!... This has been a busy week for us here in the NW Corner. Living with Oakie is hectic sometimes, BUT... I think I'll keep her around for awhile, anyways. She did let me get my Pug Paws on her 'puter keyboard this weekend. AND... Yes! We are running late... on Mountain Time as a matter of fact.

The combines and harvesters were finally swarming the wheat fields in our NW Corner of the state last Memorial weekend. You could even see a thick layer of wheat dust being distribute across the horizon-line and on anything that was nearby as 2, 3 and sometimes 4 combines worked in the same wheat field until the late night hours.

Thursday, 3 June 2004, this pug-nacious pug got roused from an early morning (5:45 a.m.) sleepy dream of all the Liver Biscotti Woolf Products treats that I could eat. You see... that is the same morning Oakie and some of us headed up towards our place in Ignacio, Colorado for a few weeks. Here is a log that Oakie kept of the gas prices from Alva, Oklahoma to Ignacio, Colorado: Alva - 1.99; Guymon - 1.96; Boise City - 1.93; Clayton NM - 1.96; Walsenberg CO - 1.99-2.02; Fort Garland CO - 2.05; Alamosa CO - 1.99; Pagosa Springs CO - 2.05 and Ignacio CO - 2.10.

My human friend, Bud Clark told me that if I get homesick for NW Oklahoma that Oakie could always put me on an airplane and send me back to him. Speaking of Bud Clark, here is a snapshot of of Bud with one of his great looking yearling horses at his West Ranch, on hwy 14.

Take a look at the finished "Castle on the Hill Mural" located at 5th & Oklahoma blvd. Thanks to the local artists and the Alva Mural Society... Alva is looking great while sporting it's NW Oklahoma legacies.
