    Baby Lump on his way...:)

    NN, he's an Italian Greyhound "lump". Little black and white boy we're thinking of naming Conall. Here he is at 5 weeks: (they look NOTHING like an IG at this age, face/ears haven't been grown into yet) We pick him up Saturday :)

    NN - My little guy, Vino - I am absolutely gutted.

    We had a busy day today and went out for a bit this morning, came home and finished packing up stuff to go camping. Had the dogs stuff packed, I took Sophie and Vino our IG out for pee/poop breaks about an hour before we actually left. If we try to get them to go RIGHT as we're leaving, it's...

    Hate to ask, but...please

    keep me in your thoughts for this Friday. I had my mammogram last Wednesday and was phoned by my doc to please come back for "additional imaging studies". I'm sure it's like last time they did this and found I have cysts, but you always have a little "ugh" feeling in the pit of your stomach when...

    Speaking of bees :)

    We started keeping honey bees earlier in the year. They're in a decline and we wanted to do "our part". We have two hives thus far with plans to add more. We built our bee boxes ourselves (I did a lot of supervision and painted them LOL) I've been stung twice now and decided that I needed a...

    Asking for Good thoughts/well wishes, etc.

    Hubby and I are going back to our family doctor to ask him some questions about some stuff he found on some scans during a regular physical exam about a month ago. Hubs had some tests run two weeks ago and they had to take some samples while they were in which they biopsied and were read to us...

    Newf in Mississippi

    This one is very close to my heart as this is the very place we got Grady from last year after his owner dropped him off at 6.5 years of age. This is not a good place for dogs, it is a kill shelter and the conditions are not very good. It was hit hard when Katrina hit and has not really...

    Newf in Florida

    He's fairly close by (for me and Kody's Grandma), looks like a volunteer thing for the folks who have him, not a shelter but..... Here's Gunny, a 3 yr old black boy, 150 lbs in Destin, FL http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/18773511

    Camping Trip with the bubs

    Took an overnight camping trip with the bubs after taking hubs to the ER for a sudden nose bleed that literally GUSHED while we were readying ourselves to go. Of course it was "nothing", but it was enough to make Dexter proud. Emergency taken care of, we lit out the next morning with our new...

    Newf and IG playing

    The noises are pretty much 99% Sophie moaning/groaning at her "baby", Vino the IG who's 6 months old and all puppy. She LOVES this little guy and lets him get away with pretty much anything at this age. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1EJi8KmrlU

    We're insane...but loving it

    Well we are insane...We talked a lot and still do about Grady and missing him in our home. We've not dismissed the idea of having another Newfie in the house but, we switched gears big time and brought into our pack/lives a 5 month old Italian Greyhound. He's Seal colored with white markings and...

    Giving...

    I wrote this as I'd mentioned in General Discussion for Grady, our pup we lost three weeks ago Monday. We know their time with us is short lived, yet we accept this and nurture and love them just the same. The joys they give us far surpass what we lose when they go away. It will take a lot of...

    Farewell to my Grady

    Grady came to our family back in November of 09, he was an owner surrender to a kill shelter over in Mississippi. He was 6.5 yrs old and kept outside is all we knew. That was a 3.5 hr drive to get him, which we did with anticipation and some fear. Definitely a Newf, very happy seeming dog, a bit...
