So busy this summer.

 I have been so busy this summer. We have been out riding the Spyder and enjoying the ice cream stops we have been making. I never knew there were so many flavors of ice cream to be had. 
 We had some sadness this spring when we lost our male furbaby to heart problems. It was not something we even saw coming. So we were in no way prepared. It hit us had. 
We said no more furbabies after we had to say goodbye to him. 
 But as God would have it, we adopted another this August. He does have a way of showing you the doors are never closed fully. 
She is a Poodle/Bichon mix. She is being trained in a diaper right now. She was stuck in a box for 3 months since she was 8 weeks old and was never trained in any way. So it will take time to teach her things. She is doing well with the other 2 babies. She will go outside when you take her. But messes quite a bit in the house and won't tell you when she wants out. So the diaper keeps the house safe from her accidents. 

 This is Amara Nomro. She is such a little lover. 

 So how has your summer been for you?? Keeping you busy or just lazing around enjoying the days?
Which ever it has been I hope you are all doing well and just know that God is watching over you and keeping you safe. 
Love you all. 

How time does fly when you are having fun. 

Fun- what exactly does constitute as fun? Some say as long as you are enjoying the day you are having fun. Others say you have to be *doing something* in order to be having fun. Or some say it in such a manner as to mean it in a disparaging way.  

I, myself see it as many different ways. 

Over the time period of my absence I have had fun in many ways. 

I've spent time with my grand kids. Spent time with new people I've met. Went to new places.  And even did new things. 

By that I mean we went on a River Cruise, which was really FUN. 

Went on motorcycle rides and visited places I didn't know existed. Such as the Mini Mac (Mackinaw Bridge).

And one of only 2 of the smallest Post Office's in the United States. This one in Michigan, the other one is in Florida. 

As for the other kind of FUN- we have had 2 fur babies die in the last 2 years.

This little lady-Punkin, who we thought would make it after we had her left leg amputated to keep the tumors from spreading. But no such luck. She was 14 when we had to make the decision to let her go home to god. 

Then this sweet boy- Manny, who was to go in for knee surgery in 3 days but came up with a cough that just wouldn't go away so we took him to emergency. She did many tests only to find out he was having heart problems that couldn't be fixed. He was only 8 years old when we had to say goodbye to him that day. Another one of the hardest decisions we ever had to make. 

Onto happier things- 

My son has moved back near us from out west. So we get to see him more often. 

Our granddaughter is graduating this year. 

Boy they sure do grow up so fast. Her brother is 2 years behind her. 

Can't wait to see how much fun I can find for the following year. 

Sorry I've been MIA

I have been dealing with things here at home and this blog was the last thing on my mind. I hope you understand.
But now that things have settled down I should be able to get back to things as normal.
I have added a little addition to our family. A toy Chihuahua. Her name is Prisca. She will be 5 months old this month. 

This is how small she was when we brought her home. She now weighs in at 2 lbs. We have been dealing with worms with the poor thing. The people we got her from obviously never wormed her and she was full of them and we can't seem to get rid of them. We are on shots and more meds. at the present time. She eats like a little piglet. She was the runt of the 2. She just loves our other fur babies, although they didn't take to her right off. But they are all best buds now. 
Well I have things to do today but I just wanted to get back on and say "HI" to everyone and let you know I am still here and will try my best to post as often as I can.

Had the granddaughter over the weekend

It was a blast. While she was here she wanted to go through the pics I had in my camera so I took the SD card out and put it in the laptop so we could see the pics in a bigger view. Well that was a mistake. We came across some videos papa had made over the last couple years. Nothing bad mind you. She liked one in particular. She suggested I put it on youtube. So I said sure if you help me. Since I had never put one on there before. I have looked at plenty and I even have one blogger I just love that puts her blog videos on there. I had often wanted to ask her how she did that but never gotten around to it. 
So we tried as we may to upload our video. We tried and we tried.
No luck. It took us an hour and finally we got it figured out. It was uploading but it was going into Windows Media *playlist* instead of the Videos area. 
It takes me a bit but I finally get things figured out. So now we have this video on youtube. Boy I sure didn't know my voice sounded that bad once it was recorded. Or maybe I just sound like that when I talk to my dogs. I do have a tendency to baby talk around them, since I spoil them a lot. 
Mr. L. was not as happy when I told him he was a celebrity. But he has come to terms with it as I caught him telling his friend about it last night. 



Hope you enjoy it. As I said it was not meant for anything special. We were just being ourselves. As you can see we love our dogs and we treat them as one of the family. 

For all the animal lovers...Something FREE..

I don't know about you but my doggies mean the world to me. So if ever anything were to happen at my home while I was away I would want someone to know I have them inside and how many. So I want to share this with you. It is a FREE Window Decal for you to send for that you can list what animal you have. It even has a place for *other* animals. So I wanted to make sure you send for yours. 

Free Window Decal

Please allow 1-2 weeks for delivery. 

Now I will tell you that I don't put my *real* email address on things like this. Since you don't have to confirm your request. I just hate getting so many emails and then trying to get them to stop sending you the stuff is so frustrating. I did send for this and my fake email address went through no problem. I do see that if you click on the link again you can reorder another one of these with no problems. 

I like to have at least 2 of these so I have these on both of my doors so they will be easily seen.

Ultimate Dog Tease

This is too cute.........

He ain't heavy- he's my brother!

When you can't find a soft pillow just use your brother.
These guys have been like 2 peas in a pod every since we brought Aguila home (the brown one). I just had to share this with you. I just took this as they are sleeping at the other end of the couch from me right now as I am on the computer.
I do love my babies, they give us such joy.
