Happy B-Day to Noel! Welcome to the terrible 2's!
Count me out, I've been through at least 3. Bob, Irene, and Gloria were there names, power outages and street and basement flooding, and downed trees are enough this far inland.
ohh yess... we have a similar place like that.. they carry yankee candles.. My guilty pleasure!
Yes Happy Birthday Noel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:-x
I didn't know this ! Thanks ! xo
OH .... just came from a viewing ... our dear neighbour (original resitdent on the street) passed away ... her poor husband.. married for 68 years and said she was as beautiful now as whne he married herUGH... makes me count my blessings... and I consider this forum aka my Christmas family a big blessing in my life...
HUG your loved ones tight...
We can never hug our family enough can we !! I am so sorry for your loss .......xoxo (((Hugs))) to my Christmas family xo
Good luck as you begin school again. I don't know how you will juggle five classes and work, too!
Good Afternoon
Very chilly in these parts today, cloudy..drizzle..bleh just like myself! I have come down with a nasty cold.. was supposed to work tomorrow but decided that my co-workers & customers would appreciate it more if I just stayed home!
A-las It has not been relaxing here though, what with our new addition to the family!
I Like to call her our Fate Puppy. Ok, ok her real name is London & she is a 12 week old French Bulldog, Boston terrier Cross. Myself, DB & my two dearest friends went down Island to view a couple puppies (just trying to win over DB.. as he was NOT getting a puppy, no matter how much I begged & pleaded for the last year).. I honestly had no intentions of getting a pup that day (poor little thing wasn't worked into the budget!) just trying to win over Db... Anyways, we get there and there was about 10 puppies.. SO CUTE, But i knew 1200$ was just not in our equation..I ask if we could put a deposit on a pup, and with our checks combined, pay the rest in two weeks.. breeder was having none of that, Cuz I think they were moving & wanted them gone asap. Now Because I am a pansy, I was CRUSHED..so Being the little angel i am (hahahaha) I called my mom & asked if we could borrow the $... Besides the "do you really need a dog." "You're being an emotional buyer."..etc. The answer was NO. It wasn't in moms budget either.. Darn.. Again, me being wimpy I cried.. I've wanted one of these little guys for YEARS.. so I pulled myself together & went back over to where everyone was standing and let them know that we could not take a pup & left.... After all, It was just to get DB to like the cute little guys anyways (which did work!!)! about 5 mins after we left, I get a phone call..
Now, she's considered the Fate puppy because......... they offered us a little girl, which had a cherry eye for... $500!!! I WAS ECSTATIC! They said they wanted her to go to a good home, where she'd be looked after & had a feeling we'd be the right people to care for her! Yes poor little munchkin will have to have surgery down the road when she's old enough but at least I'll have time to save $.. I could not Believe it! A french Bulldog, Boston terrier cross for $500??????? Mom was able to help us out, as long as we paid her back. Little London came home with us that night: )
I never, ever.. thought puppies were so much work! Everyone warned me..but I was like... ya pshh I got this..
Ya I don't "got This" My lord, she keeps me on my feet! Love the dear thing though.. Our cats.. Are still adjusting hahaha
If anyone has any helpful tips on training puppies please let me know, cuz I feel like I am sucking big time!
I am a BIG believer in fate & Destiny... So another thing that made me go.. oooooooo was she was born on the same day we celebrate our anniversary
BTW I am so Excited to have our First Christmas With a puppy!! WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO
Oh Britt !!! I am so excited for you !!! I think the most IMPORTANT thing to realize is when your baby wakes up she must go out, after she plays she must go out, after she eats or drinks very shortly she will have to go out, if she gets excited or gets a fright she must go out. Just be VERY VERY PATIENT and be CONSISTENT and in no time she will be housetrained. Remember too, you do not SUCK .....Your puppy may be too young to fully realize for a little while what you want or she may even be physically unable to hold her bladder for a while.......As she gets older it will all get better.....
Remember a puppy thinks the WHOLE WORLD belongs to them so when she starts teething, just remember to have everything up safely out of her way.....
I am no expert....These are just some hard learned lessons I have gotten from my Hermione who is now 9 months....Good luck with Fate Puppy and if you have any other questions or problems be sure to post..........So nice to see you again !! xoxxooxox
I still have a lot of pain and need the meds on time, but I feel that my body is definately responding.
I just love their Halloween stuff !! xo
Hope you had a great time at Six Flags ! xo
