Roxy's Day

Dad calls me a Ewok and Mom dresses me like one, I'm so embarrassed

Rascal understands what I have just been through, a hug makes it all better

A quick snack

What's so funny, I just enjoy my food and I will protect it till the end.

A quick nap with my Dad

Friday

Today we had the newest puppy to the vet for her second puppy shot. We also took two of the older dogs for their distemper shots. None of them were all that happy about their visit. They hid their heads in the assistants arm as the doctor was checking them out and giving their shots. Roxy is doing really good, she is up to 2 pounds. The other two Malteses will go with Roxy on her next appointment for their shots. I do have to watch Sissy really close as she has a reaction to the distemper shot, her little face swells up and she has to get a second injection. The dogs are all sleeping, guess the excitement and the shots just wore their little butts out. Going to be a quiet evening around here. Guess I will work on my cross stitch ornaments tonight.

Happy Birthday to Me

This weekend we celebrated my Birthday, I just won't say which one. Friday we took Lottie out to lunch (Steven's mother from south Florida) Her birthday was the 3rd and mine the 4th. We had fun and she enjoyed her lunch. Saturday we worked on the yards in the morning and afternoon, than we got cleaned up and headed into Pensacola for dinner (Applebee's) and than the craft store. Sunday we made a trip to Melanie's, she had made me a strawberry cake, and gave me some Mill Hill cross stitch kits. I just love doing these little Mill Hill beaded kits in between working on my big projects. (Hint Hint) I also had lots of phone calls from well wishers. The staff at the Auction house had Cherylyn make a stop by the house and drop off a gift bag, inside there was a card from Lottie with a Roadhouse gift card inside and than a card and Fenton vase from the staff. I was so shocked with the thoughtfulness of my Auction friends. Sunday we finished the lawn work, now I just need to finish putting in the pond in the back yard.

Puppy, The new baby puppy is doing really well. She is still so small, but she has a big attitude. She and Rascal get along just great. Only one problem and it is when the two of them get to playing. He forgets how big he is because he is still a puppy too and he will get a little to rough with her. Of course she comes out with her attitude and at times she is a devil dog with her growling and attacking of Rascal, guess I should have named her Sassy Lassie.

The rain came

As predicted the rains came and all my beautiful azalea bushes lost their flowers, good thing I took pictures. We had four days of hard rains, the first night we were awaken at 2 am with the storm. We looked out the front door and saw walnut size hail smashing into the ground. I just knew that all the planting I did in the new flower beds would be lost. But to my amazement when I checked on the plants the next morning they were all fine the only causality was the Azalea bushes. The first night it was the worst with the hail, the next three days was just a lot of rain. Many times I would look out front and see a lake instead of a front lawn. Just glad I didn't get the grass seed spread yet or it would have washed away. Now it is Cold again, we had a cold front come in and for the past two nights had to cover the plants due to a frost warning. All my fruit trees are in bloom, I just hope this crazy weather doesn't hurt them this year.

Spring is here

new flower beds now I need to get grass planted again

This is just a few of the Azalea bushes around our house.

I just had to get pictures of the azalea bushes that are starting to bloom. Every spring they start to get really showy and than the rain comes and no more pretty azalea bushes. So this year I thought that I would take pictures so they would last a little longer. We are supposed to have rain for the next three to four days and with that much rain the flowers will fall.

Rascal 6 months, Roxy 6 weeks

Rascal is getting to be quite a young man or should I say dog. He is losing his puppy looks and he is now at his full grown size. We have been looking since we bought him for a girlfriend for him. He was so lonely as the other dogs just don't want anything to do with him. Today was his lucky day, we found this cute little lady just for Rascal. I am not totally sure what we will name her (we need to wait to see what her personality is before naming her) At this time I am thinking I will use the name my grand daughter Britney gave me when I was looking for a name for Rascal. The name she suggested was Roxy, I like that name, due to Roxy being the star of my favorite movie Chicago. But we will wait just to make sure before we name the new little girl. She is Mahogany Sable, and was born on Valentine's Day. Her mother and father were beautiful poms and she looks just like her dad. Rascal seems to know that she is his mate, or maybe he is just nosey and wants the little girl to play. She is just so tiny, her sister was darker and a little bit bigger than she was, we almost took both of the pups, it was so hard to choose. Guess I need to buy more puppy pads, and I thought I was almost done with house training.
