    Remembering Daisy

    January 8, 2020 - By 

    On Jan. 2nd, we had to take Daisy in. Let me back up since I don’t think I’ve been able to tell you that in early December, we had to take her in because she had been limping and it was getting worse. They did x-rays and determined it could be extremely bad Osteoporosis in both hips and back knees or bone cancer. We had 2 different types of meds that ended up having to give her daily because she just looked miserable too much. We were happy to have her with us for another Christmas, because she loved it.…

    Newest Member of the Family

    January 30, 2015 - By 

    Family Friday {New Pet Edition} For those of you who follow me on Instagram, you know about the newest addition to the family. Yes, I think hell has frozen over, because our newest family member is a cat. Rob has never been a huge fan of cats. When this cat started hanging out around the house, he actually entertained the idea of keeping it. We got her spayed the week before Christmas, which ended up becoming a nightmare. To sum it up, she ripped the sutures out. We had to take her back to the vet and they put staples…

    Dozing Daisy::Feeling More & More at Home

    January 12, 2011 - By 

    **Yes, another picture of Daisy. I just can’t help myself. She is so photogenic and doesn’t mind the camera, unlike Rosie who would practically run away when she saw me get my camera out.** Daisy is adjusting nicely still. We’ve quickly learned some of her tendencies, which has helped us to know how she may react in certain situations. I was concerned about her response to the craziness that would probably occur while we watched the National Championship game, but she sat right at my feet. She stayed pretty calm most of the time and we never had to resort…

    Daisy::Our Newest Addition

    January 8, 2011 - By 

    Meet the newest edition to our family. This beautiful Pembroke Welsh Corgi is Daisy. Some of you may recognize her if you read Tracy’s blog. I “met” her when I started doing the Mommytography project. She commented on my header, which you’ll notice has a Corgi on it. I responded in saying that we were currently Corgi-less, because Rosie passed away last year. Never did I think she would respond saying that she had a Corgi that she would like to find a good home for. I talked it over with Rob and after talking back and forth with Tracy…

    Rosie: 1997-2010

    August 16, 2010 - By 

    If you follow me on facebook, you are aware of how the last couple of weeks have gone. So very busy with school starting and all that goes with that. I’m also taking Soccer league pictures last week and this week. On top of all that, Thursday August 5th, Rob had come home for lunch and wondered why he wasn’t greeted by Rosie. I had remembered letting her outside a couple hours before, but she usually makes it well known that she’s ready to come in. We sent the boys out to see if they could find her and she…

    Show Us Your Life {Pets}

    November 20, 2009 - By 

    Today is Show Us Your Life, Pets edition. Here is Rosie, who is are Pebroke Welsh Corgi. We’ve had her for about 9 years. We were living in our first home, had only been there a few months. We had been without a dog for not quite a year after having our other Pembroke Corgi, Jenny, pass away. Rosie is a lover of popcorn, candy (only because she’s good at somehow getting a hold of candy, which she’s not supposed to have!), sleeping, long naps in the sun while lying on the deck, and relaxing in one of the 2…

    Update on Oreo

    October 3, 2007 - By 

    I called this morning to check on Oreo and they said he was eating and jumping around. Yesterday he wouldn’t move hardly at all and just laid out. They said the doc wasn’t in yet, but they’d call me later. I just got the call and he’s fine, needs some meds for a few days. I’m just so thankful. Drew and I just cried till our eyes were puffy before I left to take Oreo. He just kept saying, “Momma, don’t let him die.” It’s so hard to see your child in such grief stricken pain. In an hour when…

    Prayers needed

    October 2, 2007 - By 

    Drew called me while I was driving home, saying he thought Oreo (his rabbit) was dead. He was crying and it was very traumatic. I got home and looked at him and saw that he was probably not going to make it, but I would take him to the vet. I was praying they could do something to help. Drew got the rabbit for his 9th birthday back in January, so we haven’t had him that long. It’s Drew’s first pet that is just HIS, not a family pet. Drew couldn’t go with me to the vet because he had…

    This is Priceless

    December 27, 2005 - By 

    Ok, so Drew or Rob usually feed the dog. We have a big Rubbermaid container at the bottom of the pantry where we keep her food. We keep a plastic cup in there to pour the food into the bowl with. So tonight I’m just sitting here and I hear the clanging of dog food in the metal bowl. I look to my left and see Rob and Drew sitting on the couch. I look to my right in the kitchen and see Alex feeding the dog! How cute is that! And now that I’ve typed this he has gone…

    Conversation with a 7 year old

    October 20, 2005 - By 

    Drew was looking at our mice and said wow look at that guy! He’s fat! I said, yah! I hope he’s not pregnant! Drew said, well if he’s pregnant we’ve gotta tell some body cause I didn’t think THAT was supposed to happen! The conversation went on, but I was laughing so hard in my head, I had to come type it!

    A Mouse in the House…

    September 14, 2005 - By 

    I forgot to tell ya yesterday that yesterday morning when I got up and went into the bathroom, I was holding my breath. Knowing that a mouse might be on one of the sticky traps, I was scared. I turned the light on and my heart sunk when I saw the poor little mouse on the trap. I thought to myself, “well, we gotcha!” I stood there for awhile looking at it. She was starting to move. ICK! It made me so sad. I couldn’t bring myself to use the bathroom in there, so I went upstairs. After I got…
