Our Mighty Protector

Unless there is thunder that is......then this happens.

You would never guess she is the one I have to worry about when strangers come to the door.

This was the cake at my baby shower this weekend.......

Obviously someone who knows me well made it and I LOVE it!

Cuteness Overload

On the weekend I went to look at two Chihuahua's that someone was looking to rehome. I had no intentions of taking them with me just wanted to make sure they were not mean ankle biters before agreeing to take them into the rescue. Well I got there and it was a hot day, they were left outside in the back yard, I questioned why they were not allowed in the house and was told the son had allergies, but in walking out to see them passed their own dog in the house. So after being overloaded with kisses, confirming they were not little evil chihuahuas I packed them up in the truck and headed home.

This is Lily

And this is Harley.

I am actually glad I am pregnant and have no patience, because these two are very sweet and would definatley be held hostage. Tim was home for 10 minutes and decided we would keep Lily, but I had other thoughts on the matter. Nik loves them and the feeling is mutual, especially with Lily. He carts her around like a little doll and she is happy to oblige and showers him with kisses. He cannot remember their names so calls them both Chihuahua.


We met up with Wendy from Paws on The Run Photography last night for some photos for the blog and website and the dogs had a blast. It was too cute for words. I love the photos, especially since they are great at showing how cute they are so hopefully someone will snag them up soon. Since they are with me I am handling the adoption and its going to take a pretty special person to meet all the standards I have set for a new home for these two, they definatley deserve it.

Bloggers Block

Not sure if I have had bloggers block or just lack of interest. First off I lost my camera so that might have had something to do with it, then holidays, then the unfortunate passing of my sweet little furry buddy Archie and now the task of combining two households I have not had time or the interest. More so the interest I think, losing 3 furry babes in 4 months has taken a toll on me, I just keep thinking of how many more times I will have to go through that and it makes me sad again. I can honestly say that once the furry kids I have go there will be no more, its too hard, way too hard. (I know anyone who knows me is calling b.s. on that statement, but honest its true). Add to all of that the human kid that is playing soccer in my belly right now, whacking out my hormones and stealing my brain cells it does not help at all!

But I did find my camera so that is a start......here is what was on it.



Jessi was getting random sores on her body, never really knew why, no rhyme or reason to it but every so often they would appear. She would go months without one and then it would flare up again. First I thought it was haircuts, happened right after one, but then the next two it didn't.



One of them got quite bad and she would not leave it alone so I had to resort to a cone. Does she not look most impressed about it?

I changed her food recently and that seems to have done the trick. I made a few food changes prior but it never seemed to work, this time upon a friends recommendation I bought one that is corn free. So far so good, but with the luck I seem to have this year I will find one after I hit publish post.

With combining household comes a few new furry additions, so pictures of the new kids to come.

I cannot get enough!

I think Zoey is the cutest dog ever.....she is just odd and quirky.

But then again I think they are all the cutest dog ever depending on the day.....each one of them has a quirk all their own.

Duke....

Duke, Duke, Duke.....

Yesterday he grew thumbs and managed to get into a rubbermaid tote and eat all of Lola (the foster dogs) treats in there. I would honestly love to have a camera to see how exactly he is able to get these things down from the back of the cupboard and get into them. Funny though he did not get into the food. He also somehow was able to open one of my cupboards and steal some leashes out of there, I am just thankful it was not the garbage cupboard or the pantry cupboard.

So today he and Sophie are hanging outside in the dog run, when I left they where both suntanning on the dog beds and having a nap.

Sorry again Sandy......I need to better Duke proof my house!

Cookie Monster

If Duke could talk today I think he would say....."MMMM me like cookies".

Why you ask, well this is the third time Duke has had a sleep over, and based on today's events I think he is quite comfortable here now. My dogs avoid the counter, they know what happens if they steal something off of there. You get chased down and even if whatever you have stolen is half way down it is still taken from you. So the last thing on my mind when leaving the house today was to make sure everything was put away, it was all set far back on the counter, but still on the counter. Needless to say Duke likes Girl Guide Cookies, a unopened box of them, I am sure once off the counter a certain golden retriever helped him out, he had already done all the hard work. I was quite shocked also at how well they were able to open the box without thumbs.

He has been extra cuddly tonight, I think it is his way of saying sorry, and it works, how can you be upset at a face like that! My own fault anyways! Sorry Sandy!
