Thankful Thursday

First of all sorry I am not posting too much at the mo but there is lots going on round here with one thing and another plus am uber shattered but hopefully will be feeling better. My furballs are mithering me to help them finish their badges for the cabinet so we really must try and get them all done asap.

We are so looking forward to meeting JD & Max and Clare, I have to confess that I am getting rather excited about this which is most unusual for me as I normally find meeting new people rather daunting. Maybe it is because I feel like I already know her and the boys after all blogville from our point of view is our big happy doggy mad ( & kitty krazy ) family but for what ever reason I am getting excited and am enjoying the feeling.

Ronnii has been booked in for her whowho-ectomy on the 12th of April and whilst my common sense tells me she will be fine, the Mom in me cannot help but worry as is her Pop but that is human nature really. She has major surgery last year and she had her little procedure earlier this year so there is no reason why this won’t go smoothly too. She is not going to like it if the shave too much fur off though bless her she is quite proud of floofy-ness these days. Most of the time she smells like a blueberry muffin as she has pet head shampoo and conditioner, this brand seems to cope with her oddly multi textured coat the best plus she does smell so divine .

Now as you know we are arranging a little get together to celebrate both Ronnii’s birthday and Mollys gotcha day so the Pop, Richie and I have quite a bit to arrange for that. My folks are giving me money for my birthday and I am going to use that to get a new barbecue grill for the ‘do’ and there will be lots of nommy human and doggy edibles.

Now I know Richie has said his thank you to everyone but  I need to as well. You wonderful, caring, amazing lot have given me the best gift you could ever have given, you have given me peace of mind for my boy and his future and there are not words enough to convey how much that means to me, but you have also given me your friendship and that really does mean the world to me, The Pop and the furbabes. Knowing that there are so many wonderful people in the world is awesome.

Thank you for you friendship, your support and your caring !

All is

calm in our home today, well almost but I will cover that later. It would seem that the storm is passing at last, I have noticed a lack of odour around our girl today and the fact that Richie is no where near Randy is testament to my olfactory senses. I do find it odd that I could detect any odour at all when the OH could not but hey ho, hopefully life will start returning to what passes as normality for us.

When the OH came in from his day out looking like his old self all smiley and a lot more relaxed it made the day we had yesterday seem worth it to have my familiar chap back again. We all need to get away now and then to restore our inner selves don’t we ? Now onto todays non calm event I was visited by the evil monster that visits Mango now and then, I’m fine and put it down to lack of sleep and stress and I think it upset the fur balls more than me but please don’t worry we are all fine and dandy now thankfully. I came round to the most awful pong though…………….. bless his little heart Richie was licking my face like mad……. how brilliant it he ? Even is he does have breath that could strip paint from walls from 87 miles away.

I am so very lucky to have the family, friends, furballs and OH that I do, even with all that goes on health wise, stress wise, financial wise life is still pretty darn good.

It’s Snow Joke

It has been an eventful week , I have been really worried about Richie as he seemed to be very unhappy, constantly barking ( causing the neighbours from hell to moan ) and whining which made me worry so much about him with his heart problem. I thought Ronnii was in season but never having had an intact female was unsure and as there were no visible signs of this I decided I was wrong, I have since found out some females can come into season without any signs at all ( who knew ) so I have come to the conclusion that she is as she is getting very flirty with Richie now.  The arrival of the snow not only lowered the temperature but it seemed to cool their ardour quite a lot too, perhaps it is all the extra effort it takes for them to use the garden and to go walkies, not only do they to be snuggled when they get back in but Ronnii needs to be de-snowballed as well as it just sticks to her legs and clumps her fur up but she seems to like the snow as does Richie boy. Just as well really as I adore the white stuff me and Wilma were out making snow angels in the front garden today, awesome fun as not done that for yonks mine was a little different to hers though I did mine face down……………lol. I am never going to be completely sensible no matter how much people want me to be. We also have a wee snow dude at the end of the garden too and he is rather sweet.

Percy has his own duvet round his house under his waterproof covers and he is getting hot water bottles on it ( refreshed often ) so he doesn’t get too cold but he seems to be fine.

It is gone nine pm now and the snow is still falling hard and I have now got to redo Percy hotty bottys, wash up and then snuggle with the fur balls.

Nite all and I will go to sleep tonight dreaming of at least another two feet of snow falling woooohooooo !

Simple Pleasures

I often ponder upon random disjointed things but often come back to the way we view things. As children we always believe in Happy Ever After it is only as we grow that we find that sometime happy ever after can be difficult to attain. However I still find my ingrained child popping out now and then to look at the world with wonder and awe. Last night I took Richie for a late night walk ( he thought he wanted to poop but he just wanted to be nosy ) and after what had been a very cold day we had the most beautiful clear skies. I found myself wandering along with Richie ambling along the grass beside me but I had my eyes heavenward, the stars were so bright and it  took my breath away at just how beautiful the heavens are. I do believe that simple pleasures are often the best ones, seeing the stars at their best , cuddles from a warm snuggly dog who looks at you with pure unconditional love, My son as a toddler sitting in his Thomas the tank engine rocking chair surrounded by torn Christmas wrapping paper just giggling his head off, Molly bimbling around the garden looking for a spot to lay in the sunshine, watching the sunrise over Texas hill country whilst on horseback. These are the memories to treasure and hold onto, material things are not the the things that last in my opinion, I have so many wonderful pictures I can just call on in my mind of simple moments like this that can give me the warm fuzzies.

I  have another round of jollop to come and they want me to go for my review on Christmas Eve ( not going to happen am going to rearrange that one ) but when things get bad I am going to pull one of these warm memories out of the muddle that is my mind and I am going to smile the biggest goofiest smile ever.

With love

I Am So Lost For Words

When I lost my beautiful girl the thoughtfulness and generosity of the doggy bloggy community touched my heart especially when donations to TLDR came through in my angels name. I didn’t think I would feel so moved again but today I am struggling to find the words to convey how I am feeling.

I came home from the shops today to find a package inside my front door, odd I wasn’t expecting anything and I certainly didn’t recognise the address in the USA. When I opened it well I just cried not from sadness so much but at the kindness of someone I have never met, someone who is a very caring person & Mom of the sweetest little fellow of a Yorkie ( My dog-son PIP ) you could ever wish to meet. Yes Kristin I am talking about you ! You are an amazingly generous and caring woman and even though we have never met I am proud to call you my friend.

To put you all up to speed the awesome package that arrived for me today from Kristin via Deanne Pace  ( the road dogs Mom )was one of Deanne’s awesome pendants that she so kindly donated for auction via Frankie’s blog for Sweet Shelbys Fund.  Kristin & Pip bid in the auction and won and had it made especially for me with my girlys name on it and it is the most beautiful piece of jewellery I have ever or will ever own and it means the absolute world to me. Thank you does not even come close Kristin and Pip it just means so very much you cannot imagine quite how much or how grateful I am.

So without further ado here is my most beautious pendant.

The care with it read,

Tea,

The enclosed pendant is from Kristin & Pip in honor of your beautiful & beloved Molly, with the hope it will bring you some comfort and make you smile.

Best wishes

Deanne Pace.

Well it has given me the hugest smile ever imaginable and it will bring comfort. I am blessed to have such an awesome God/Dog Son and such a wonderful friend in his Mom too.

THANK YOU BOTH SO VERY MUCH !

With all my Love
