Enjoying the Last Day

The kids seem to be enjoying the last day of the year. It's kind of cool outside which is nice. My phone says it's 73 degrees, which seems about right.  I feel bad for Lucas because I know later he'll be freaking out from fireworks, as I'm sure he will be for the next week until people deplete their stock.

Wishing everyone a Happy and Safe New Year's Eve, and the same for the New Year!!

New Year Resolutions

I can't say I have really ever made any New Year Resolutions. 

This year I would really like to volunteer at the animal shelter.  I've been putting off sending in the application because between working full time during the week and doing house stuff on the weekend (like laundry and such other fun cleaning things to do), it really gives me only one day off.  And usually that day off I like to do absolutely nothing.  They want you to do at least 4 hours a week.  When I talked to the one girl I usually talk to there, I told her I never volunteered because I felt like I couldn't give the hours they need.  She told me not to worry, as I do other things for them just by donating toys, scratch pads, food, etc.  But I feel like I still need to committ more than I think I will do.  Plus I feel horrible not spending enough time with my own pets.  I think I'll start after I cut up and braid the 18 yards of fleece material I have to make rope pull toys.  I look forward to that backache.  

I'd also like to try and lose some weight this year.  I do terrible on diets and have zilch energy to exercise, so I'm going to somehow adjust my current meals and at least get my butt out there and walk a few times a week.  I won't guarantee anything on this one though.  But now that the holidays are just about over and all the treats and sweets are just about gone, I might do better on at least not gaining any more!

I'm really going to try to work more on my driving patience.  This will definitely be a hard one.  I would say that I'd put a swear jar in my car, but I'd be broke before the end of the first week of the new year.  I'm really going to try though.

Don't think I really have any more than this.  I really would like to accomplish the above by the end of the year.

Does anyone have any good New Year Resolution(s) that they have?  Please share.

Lucas' Foster Parents

Tonight Lucas' foster mom and dad stopped by for a visit.  They haven't seen Lucas in 6 years.  They fostered Lucas after his heartworm treatment when he was skin and bones.  They gave me pictures but I'd have to dig them up, or should I say dig in to the computer.  They took care of my boy before he came into our lives.  They loved him and healed him.  I'm so glad they were a part of his life.

Music

A little holiday music video. I really enjoyed this one and will be checking out their other videos.

No Transport

So the transport I was supposed to help with yesterday was canceled.  She called me early Saturday morning and said the dog had not been neutered yet, so that needs to be done first.  Told her I would help out next Saturday if they plan on doing it then.  That was a bummer as I was excited that a dog would get a home for the holiday.

Then today when I went down to see my mom, sister and niece, I was supposed to meet up with a girl who was turning in her Doberman to rescue.  I was going to help transport back up to my area then meet with the rescue about half way.  I talked to the girl Friday night and she was adamant about getting this done.  She said I was a lot closer to where the meet-up was than to where the rescue wanted to meet her.  I guess the dog was a stray.  I don't know the entire story.  Anyway, texted and called her twice while I was in the meet-up area, never heard from her.  I don't know why people aren't considerate enough to at least call.  I asked her to call me if her plans changed.  So this was strike two for transporting a dog.  Maybe I'm a jinx, hmmm.  I've never done one before and was really looking forward to helping out.  I don't get the chance to so it was nice to be able to offer my assistance.  Now I'm bummed.

Spent the day at the mall.  It wasn't as bad as I expected.  I wasn't shopping, only along for the ride to hang out with my sister, niece and mom.  I did buy one thing, and the darn thing wasn't even on sale.  So much for sales two days before Christmas! 

Tomorrow afternoon my in-laws will be making their way to our house for dinner.  Breathe in, breathe out.  I'm just wondering how long it will take my husband to tell me that I'm being an a*****e.  We seem to clash when he has these functions at our house.  Not when everyone is here, but beforehand, while we're getting ready.  Breathe in, breathe out.

Well I'm sure I won't get on here tomorrow, so I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!!

Trees done

Hubby decorated the tree Monday night. I helped with the lights, and that was the extent of my decorating the tree.

Tomorrow I'm supposed to be helping in a transport of a Doberman that was adopted.  The woman who adopted him out lives in my area, and the transport she arranged fell through so I offered to meet someone an hour away.  Will post picks of the lucky boy if it goes through.

Then Mr. Lucas has a re-check on his lump.  It's gone down a lot, but still there.  He'll probably have to be on antibiotics for another 2 weeks I'm sure because it was so large.

Sunday I plan on going down to my parents as my sister and niece will be flying in to visit for a couple of weeks.  They plan on going to the mall, ugh!  Not really what I want to do on December 23rd, but I really want to see them because I won't be able to spend much time with them while they are here.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, and if I don't get back on here, have a Merry Christmas too!!

Cats, Decorations and Trees

First, Patches wanted to say "Hello"

And I bet you thought I was going to say the cat went up the tree!  Thankfully mine are old enough where they've lost interest in the tree.  It's been a long time since any of them went to mess with it.  They've only ever wanted to lay under the tree, of course on top of the presents which they end up ripping with their claws.

Finally started to put the rest of our decorations out today.  Figured I'd better do it today because it's not going to happen next weekend.  I like to try and make some homemade decorations every year, at least when they are easy enough for me to make.  Here's a couple of them.  The first one is a spray painted red wooden basket with spray painted gold pinecones.  I put little decorations on the outside of the basket too.  I made this one a few years ago.  Simple enough for me.  The second one is a spray painted wine bottle rolled in some epsom salt with some flower decorations I bought at Michaels on sale.  When I make my homemade decorations, I also make one for each of our family members and a few of our friends.  Of course I find all these ideas online.  I'm not that crafty!

Went and got our tree yesterday too.  It's not decorated yet.  I doubt it will get decorated today.  It will be the hubby's job to complete.  I have lost all interest in doing any more decorating at this point in time.  Here's the before picture.  Whenever it gets decorated, I'll post an after picture.

 

 

Bought some mulch yesterday for some plants and a couple trees we have.  I'm pretending I have a green thumb.  At least the mulch looks good around my bare trees.  And they're bare because I don't take care of them and water them.  Thankfully we had some rain this past week where a few leaves have popped up.  Maybe one day they will look like Hibiscus trees...hahahaha!

 

 

A little update on Lucas' lump.  It only went down a little from yesterday, but he is feeling much better and pretty much back to his normal self.  Hope it keeps going down.

 

Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday! Enjoy your day!

Lucas and his Lump

So I decided to skip out of work at noon today and do a little shopping.  When I got home and let Lucas out I noticed he wasn't feeling well.  He was mopey and had his head down.  I knew he wasn't feeling well.  I brought my bags in, opened up the sliders in the house and put the dog beds out on the porch.  I went out there and tried to get Lucas to lay down but he wouldn't.  I thought maybe his ears were bothering him.  Then I notice this huge lump underneath his belly near his wee wee.  So off to the vet we went.  He didn't have a fever thankfully.  The vet thinks he was bit by something.  So we were sent home with some pain meds and instructions to take some Benadryl.  If it doesn't go down any by tomorrow I'm supposed to call.  Right now he's zonked out in bed, I'm pretty sure he'll be that way all night.  I sure hope he feels better in the morning. 

Here's a picture of the lump.

Brought Lucas and Holly to work with me this week, but each on separate days. 

I don't know what the name of these birds are, but they are always at the drive thru at McDonald's whenever I go there in the morning. They do this funny thing with their head where it looks like they have no neck. It always reminds me of Uncle Fester from the Addams Family. It cracks me up every time I see them.  I guess it's actually the way they fluff up their feathers.  And sometimes they get angry at the other birds and their feathers get poofy and then they chase the other bird.

Have a good night all!

Loss of a Friend

On Wednesday, my friend Barbara passed away.  Her husband came home from work and found her on the floor.  She was diagnosed with lung cancer not quite a year ago.  She did go through chemo and radiation, but they couldn't do surgery.  From the last time I talked to her, she actually sounded better than she did prior to that.  I know a couple months ago she had another scan done, and the tumor had not grown, so I was hoping that was good news.  Apparently not.

I met Barbara in 1995.  She actually hired me at my current job.  She left there about a year and a half later and moved out to Henderson, NV to work for one of our customers. She was out there for about 6 or 7 years I believe, then she moved back to Florida.  We were friends from the time she hired me.  We both had the same interest, our love for our pets, and we understood each other.  She listened to me when I had no one else at a difficult time in my life.  She had been the only true friend I have had in a really, really long time.  We didn't see each other much, but we always chatted on the phone.

It breaks my heart knowing that I will not be able to talk to her again.  It also breaks my heart because I know how worried she was about 'leaving' her dogs when it was her time.  She was worried about them.  Worried that her husband won't take care of them like she did.  And to be honest, he won't.  She didn't work and stayed at home all the time with them.  Her husband will have to continue to work.  Her dogs, Bruiser and Buddy (they're both Beagles), will adjust in time.  It just makes very upset because I can't stop thinking about how worried she was.  All I know is if there is such a thing as ghosts, she is right there, right now, watching over her dogs, and I'd have to say that makes my heart smile just a bit.

I will miss my friend very much. I hope I can come across another friend like her at some point in my life again. If not, I will wait to chat with her on a different level, I hope.

Shelter pictures

The other weekend we went to the animal shelter to get our annual pictures taken. We always use them for our Christmas cards that we send out.  It wasn't too bad.  Both Lucas and Holly didn't want to be there (well, and the husband too) but for the most part they were cooperative. Lucas never looks at the camera though. He's such a brat sometimes.

This one we just got for our immediate family.

 

 

 This one is our Christmas cards.

Lucas & Holly's Visitor

The rescue stopped by on his way home after he picked up another Doberman yesterday. This girls name is Sasha. She's about a year old. She's a youngin' and accidentally broke her 67 yr. old moms hip. I guess her mom broke it before (not by Sasha though) and realized that she couldn't handle a young dog. All I know is if I was up there in age I wouldn't be getting a pup (at least not a large breed dog), I'd be getting an elderly dog. She's a sweet, sweet girl, and also the first rescue in awhile that hasn't snapped at Lucas because he's pissed them off.

Here's a few pictures of her visit. I think she'll be adopted pretty quickly.

Lucas is on the right, and he thinks he's a little tough guy.

 

 

 Sasha wanting to play with Holly. At first Holly didn't want to play,

but Sasha got her playing.

She's a real pretty girl and I think she'll be quite large.

This is Uncle Gary, the man who owns the rescue. He's

one to be sitting down with the dogs, than standing up with the people.

I can understand and relate.

Happy Thanksgiving

Went down to my parents for Thanksgiving today. We always eat dinner early, like at noon time. Today went by too fast though. Here's a few pictures from today.

My dad is always the last one to finish eating. Everyone else usually leaves the table and starts cleaning up, but I usually sit there with him. Of course, Lucas and Holly know they will be getting some scraps.

Thanks Grandpa.

 

 

 

Holly got to play a little with the Pug named Bud that lives next door.

 

 

 

Holly wiped out for the day.

 

 

 

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving day!

 

 

 



Winding Down the Week

I think from here on, the rest of the year will just fly by. Not that it already hasn't, but it will be faster now with the holidays coming.

This past week I guess little Miss Holly ate something that didn't agree with her. There was a nice pile of poop on my carpet when we got home. Soon I'm ready to just start cutting holes in it and eventually be left with the concrete underneath. There's only carpet in my bedroom as we had the rest of our house tiled many years ago, and silly me still wanted something soft and warm underneath my feet in my room!

Finally got a picture of Holly sitting like a lady. She cracks me up when she sits like this. She'll back up till her little tush finds something to sit on. Sometimes I think she is such a little lady, but then I remember she's really a tomboy underneath. I love my Holly girl!

 

 

 

 

Found these cute Christmas cards on Etsy last weekend and couldn't resist. Figured I could send them to some dog owner friends.

 

 

 

Tomorrow I plan on having my husband chauffeuring me around to a few places. A friend gave me the heads up that Joann's is having a good sale on the solid fleece fabric so I thought I'd buy some for next years tug rope toys. Then Holly and Lucas need their nails trimmed. Think I might hit Lowe's too while I'm at it. Really torture the husband hehe. 

 

Sunday we are going to the shelter to get our Christmas picture taken with Holly and Lucas. We've gone there the last 2 years. As much as the dogs don't cooperate, I really enjoy getting our pictures done. I know the dogs don't change in appearance from year to year, but it's the memories that do.

 

Today, unfortunately, I had to be reminded of Monday already! I have to show up for jury duty Monday morning. That should be fun!

 

Well I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, and wherever you are, which most likely isn't here in Florida, enjoy your cold weather for me :)

Darn, It's Almost Monday

 

 

Patches enjoying the sun.

 

Finally finished making the tug rope toys for the shelter, made 63.

I have to stop by Sams this week so I was going to get a tray of

cookies for the employees/volunteers.

 

Hope everyone has a great week!!

Around Town

When I'm driving to and from work, I sometimes see the same people and wonder what their stories are. Here are a few that I see regularly, and some that I've never seen before.

This one I call Rich & Renee. It's actually airbrushed on his tailgate. I wonder if Renee is his dogs name. You never know. Every time I see him in the morning, his dog is always with him. And I do see him quite a lot.

I've seen this trailer quite a few times also. It's always filled to the top with bread. I assume it's going to charity.

 

 

I call this man in the wheelchair the boyscout. I used to see him walking all the time and he was always dressed up in a boyscout like outfit, with badges and such on it. I haven't seen him wearing it in quite some time though.

 

 

 

I believe this is a homeless mans car. The car is piled high inside and I've seen him come out of it. He feeds stray cats right there in that area. I assume the property owner lets him stay there as there is a convenience store just to the left of the car. Not the greatest area, so I hope he stays safe. He's been there a long time.

 

 

 

Just sitting at a red light next to this trucker one day. Wonder how he got his license. :)

 

 

 

This came off the turnpike while I was sitting at the red light. Don't see this every day, that's for sure.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the Results

My follow up appointment with the breast surgeon is tomorrow but they called me yesterday with the results...and the results are benign. Okay, so I guess I was worried about it deep down because a sense of relief came over me. 

Ballot, Tree Bark, & Snoozing

Today I filled out my sample election ballot, about 98% finished. I figured it would take me awhile to go through, especially the amendment questions since you can't even figure out what the heck they're stating. I'm taking a couple vacation days this week and will be doing early voting. Can't wait until the election is over and all this junk mail, commercials, and phone calls cease.

I was outside walking around the yard this afternoon with the dogs. I noticed all this pine tree bark on the ground. Haven't seen so much on the ground before, but it's been real windy the past few days. I started looking at it and think I can find some kind of craft to do with it. You can kind of peel some layers off to make it thin or thick, and the shapes are kind of unique. I'll have to look around on the internet for something.

I actually have a Facebook friend sending me some Fall shaped leaves as someone posted a link to do a craft by using mod podge and putting them on glass jars then inserting a candle. It looked neat and easy enough to do. I figured I'd get the jars at the Salvation Army. They always have a lot there. I just don't have Fall leaves down.

My one cat Lily has been using the dogs bed as her sleeping spot lately. I caught her snoozing next to Lucas today.

Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their Sunday!

Dog Shopping

No, I haven't been shopping for another dog. Although I've been tempted at a little girl that needs a home, I believe my limit is 2 for now.

I like to find things that are made by people, and that also maybe support rescues is a bonus. I found these "snoods" on a Facebook group that supports a rescue in Michigan. She makes them herself. And even though it doesn't really get cold down here in South Florida, their ears do get a little cold once in awhile and these can be pulled up over their ears. I thought they were cute.

Lucas didn't mind his. I love green on him. Holly's is pink, but the picture didn't come out too well. She eventually tried to chew on hers. She is my little mischief girl. She's trying to figure out what Lucas is wearing in this picture. She was probably mad because she has a habit of side swiping Lucas and biting him on the neck, and this prevented her from that.

 

 

 

 This is from this morning. Lucas never lets me take

his picture from the front. He won't leave my side.

Holly is watching the neighbors yard. Her enemy

lives there. Her enemy is, as I call, Lucas' girlfriend

Miss Cocoa. Cocoa is a good little dog, not sure what

breed she is. They also have a beagle named Sammy.



No Tears Here

So I made it through the breast biopsy without shedding a tear. I didn't even shake like a leaf either. I guess I had my big girl panties on Wednesday morning.

Yes, I was really, really nervous when I got there, but once they set it in motion my nerves settled down some. Everyone was really reassuring and nice and made sure I was okay.

It took about 30 minutes between paperwork and waiting in a room. Then she took some more pictures (mammograms), and then we went back to where they do the procedure. The rest of the visit took about 3 hours, and that included about 20 minutes waiting for the doctor.

I am so relieved it didn't really hurt. Funny, you'd think I would be worried about it being cancer but I was more worried about the biopsy hurting. The needle was just a little prick and sting. I had 2 biopsies done, and the second needle bothered me more than the first one. I assume because of where it was located, more towards my underarm. While he was taking the biopsy, to me it felt like little electrical zaps. Not really painful, just like a zap feeling. At least that's how I'd describe it. I was so relieved once it was over.

They didn't tell me that I shouldn't go to work after that ahead of time, but I still had to go to work. They had to put an ice pack in my bra and put a wrap around me, so I was really extra lumpy. I'm a one person office, so I really didn't care, and if anyone saw me, I really didn't care either. You also can't lift or anything for about 2 days, or at least you shouldn't, so it doesn't bleed. So I had to enlist the help of someone to lift a few things as I do warehouse work too.

I had to sleep with the wrap on that night, took it off the next morning. When I lifted my arm out I could feel some pain, but not much. When they did the biopsy, I had to lay flat on a table. I had to lay on that table for about 2 hours, and had to pretty much be still the entire time. Well ever since Thursday, almost every single piece of my torse hurts. My husband tapped me on the shoulder and I almost screamed. It's almost like a sunburned feeling. I'm not sure if it's all my muscles because of the way I was laying still for so long or what.

I go back to the breast surgeon this coming Wednesday for the results. Hoping that will be the end.

Pumpkin Girl & Trick-or-Treater

Went to the Buckler Craft Fair today with my mom. I haven't been to one in years. The last time we went you could barely walk down the aisles. This year it was at least half the amount of people. I feel bad for the vendors as they weren't getting the sales, but it was more enjoyable to actually check out each table for us.

Bought a few things. Here are two of them.

I call this the Pumpkin Trick-or-Treater

This one is a Pumpkin Girl with a mouse. I usually don't buy

this kind of craft, but it was really cute.

 

 

 

I can't say I'm looking forward to this week. I have my needle biopsy on Wednesday and I'm really trying not to think about it because I know I'm going to be really nervous, and lately it seems when I get really nervous I cry. Don't ask me why. Sometimes things that used to not bother me, bother me and this is how I seem to cope now. And I really don't want to cry in front of anyone. Hopefully, fingers crossed, I will come back on next weekend and tell everyone I didn't feel a thing and everything went smoothly. Who knows, maybe I'll get lucky.

 

Enjoy your week!

Driving My Health Up

So I believe I can totally understand how people get road rage, but at to what lengths I haven't figured it out yet. I admit I hate driving more and more every day. If it's not someone driving way too slow under the speed limit in front of you, then it's someone cutting you off.

 

Last week I was pulling up to a light. The traffic light sits right at a train track, so only 2-3 cars will fit at one side (the side closest to the light) and the others have to wait behind or else you will be on the tracks if a train comes. I came up to the light and realized I didn't have enough space so I stopped before the tracks. Then some girl comes along and pulls in front of me. I could tell she didn't know where she was going, but I still waved my hands (no middle finger) like what the heck! Then some guy pulls in real quick behind her about a minute later with his car sitting on the tracks. He pulled in real fast so I knew he was cutter, and I loathe cutters. He got the finger! He rolls down his window like he was going to say something and I just sat there shaking my head, like seriously you cut in front of me and you want to say something cause I gave you the finger! I could feel my blood pressure rise. I hate that feeling.

 

This morning I'm driving to work. Cruising along with the guy in front of me, plenty of room, not tailgating or anything. Then he starts fussing with something in the passengers seat, then messing with his rear view mirror. Then he practically slams on his brakes and turns his left blinker on and proceeds to get into the middle lane. So I'm like what the heck as I start to pass him and he rolls down his window and he starts yelling at me that my lights are blinding him. And I start yelling back my bright lights aren't on, and he just keeps yelling that my lights are blinding him, so I roll up my window and he gets behind me. So I call my husband and tell him. My husband tells me that my one headlight does go up a little more than the other. Okay, let me just tell you though that my husband changed my lights at least 6 years ago and this a-hole is the first person who has ever told me that my lights were blinding him let alone yelling at me for it!

 

I'm ready to pack in my drivers license, but unfortunately that would mean I would have to put up with my husbands driving, haha!

 

 

My dad bought this for me at a yard sale a few weeks ago. My husband said I should put it on my car, and I'm like no, I don't want everyone looking at me, but maybe I should. Maybe it would scare people out of my way. Eeeek!



 

Sleeping, Skeleton, & Stepping Up

I took this picture the other week of three sleeping beauties that I just had to share. It's like a chain of snorers.

This is Holly and her tennis ball.

Friday I bought myself a set of electric hedge trimmers. I've always used a small handheld clipper (as seen in the picture) but I swear my hedges grow 2 feet in one week with some good rain. My back just can't take clipping it like I normally do. I have to say I do not like using electric tools in any way, shape, or form. They just scare me for some reason. After I got used to the trimmers, I was having fun, and I only cut the cord once lol! I don't really like the way they hack my bushes so I still touched it up with my small clippers. These hedges, which are really called Kings Mantle plants, are the only thing that has lived in my yard besides the Australian Pines. I just don't have a green thumb and I wish I did. The clippers on the left is what I used to use, now I have the one on the right.

And now I better get myself off this computer as I need to cut 9 yards of fleece material so I can make some fleece rope toys for the shelter. This usually takes at least 2 days to do, so hopefully I'll have them done next weekend.

Hope everyone had a good weekend! Enjoy your Sunday!!

Yard Sale = Donations

Today my mom had a yard sale so I headed down with Lucas in tow at 5:15a.m., way too early. My mom had made a sign for me so Lucas (okay, me) could collect donations for the rescue where he came from. Being a yard sale and all, I really wasn't expecting but to collect maybe $5-10. We actually collected $23. I was very happy. There were a few people who owned Dobermans (previously) who looked like we brought up happy/sad memories. Some people wanted kisses from Lucas, but Lucas is such a momma's boy that his daddy is lucky if he gets any kisses. He loves being pet though, and he would lean against the people, just like a Doberman. I think he was sick of people by the end of the afternoon.

I felt bad I didn't bring Holly, but since my hubby didn't come it would have been too much for me with the both of them and trying to help my mom. It gave Lucas a break with his momma, plus it's so great to see Holly get so excited to see her brother when we get home. Like he's been gone a million years.

Here's a picture of Lucas with his Grandma with the sign she made with a little collection jar. It's a dog cookie jar I picked up at the Salvation Army which will be going to my sister as a Christmas present (good thing she doesn't read this).

Lazy Sunday

Caught Lucas falling asleep outside. Personally, I'd rather be inside in the air conditioning.

Holly says "Have a great Sunday everyone!"

Paying for pain

I never thought I'd pay someone to inflict pain upon me.

On Tuesday I had to get a follow-up mammogram as my one from 2 weeks ago showed signs of calcification. Well let me just tell you the follow-up hurt like a #@%*!. I thought they forget to let up on the pedal or something it was so painful. This is the whole reason in the first place why I never wanted to start getting them in the first place. Last year was my first mammogram. It went fine. Two weeks ago was my second one. It went fine. Then when they had me do this follow-up one, forget it. My mom got a bruise on one of her breasts almost 21 years ago, which turned out to be cancer. She had a masectomy, received chemo and is a cancer survivor. I've always been hesitant about getting a mammogram done as I've heard many years ago that they hurt. My doctor understood my fear. Last year I went and I was relieved it didn't "squish" my breasts like I thought it would, and felt no pain whatsoever. Now my doctor wants to send me to a breast surgeon to get a needle biopsy. I've also heard conflicting pain outcome stories on those too. And whose to say that the scarring won't turn into something. I don't know. Anyone have any experience with these?

On Wednesday I had my first lip wax done. Yes, I'm at that age where something needs to be done about that facial hair. It's been there a few years. I've been using the creme which works just fine. A friend of mine is an aesthetician and she has convinced me to do the wax. If she wasn't more than an hour away I would have gone to her, but she recommended a place that uses hard wax. I have to admit I was very nervous, and the only reason I kept putting it off was because I knew it would cause pain. It did, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Oh it made my eyes water, but I survived. I go back every 4 weeks, and I know I'll be nervous every time I go, but I'll be happy when I leave.

I think I'll choose the waxing over the mammogram any day. I hate getting older.

Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Halloween Dogs

Here's a cute Halloween Dogs Blog. It features a new dog every day until Halloween. My Holly girl is on September 21st.

http://www.halloween-dogs.com/halloween/witches-in-stitches



Last weekend was a busy one. Went down to my parents to celebrate my mom's birthday. This is my mom, Lucas and Holly.

 

We also met a Facebook friend who lives near my parents. She has love for the same breed of dog, the Doberman. We got to me one of her pups too, Raven. She is such a sweet girl, both of them :)

This is me petting Raven with Lucas in the background.
