Gorgeous Day in SA

Sidney's grandpa face


It's sunny and warm - a perfect Sunday. Well, as perfect as Sunday's get. I hate Sunday. I spend the entire day dreading Monday. Always have.

ANYHOW, I wish I would write more frequently. Maybe 4-5 times a week. We'll see. I'll definitely have a lot to write about after the move to Hawaii.

The doggies' daddy should be home within the next week after seven months away for training. He'll be here for a month, and then he's off to Hawaii. We will all follow as soon as possible. We have to juggle selling our home here, buying a new one, shipping the dogs, I have to find a job there, etc. Our goal is for us all to be there before January.

Tyler is going to Spindletop on June 15. He is the only foster in the house right now. Although once he's gone I'll have to get used to have Jill and Keifer around again.

Guess that's about it. Happy Sunday!

Memorial Day Weekend 2011

Wow, it's been awhile.

I should start by sharing that both the Benny and Tyler situations have been figured out. Benny was adopted several weeks ago by a great family out in Bulverde. Tyler is going to Spindletop Rescue near Houston. Such a relief.

My husband graduated on Thursday. Now he's just waiting a few more days (hopefully) for official orders. Then he can outprocess and come home on leave before heading to Hawaii.

The dogs are great. I took Nala for grooming last week; she looks absolutely gorgeous. I was very pleased to find this pet salon. It's called Le Paws.

Hmmm...what else? We had a couple more Big Fixes. All the dogs have their Rabies shots and FAVN tests done.

This weekend is Memorial Day weekend. I plan to relax, spend time with friends, spend time with the pups, and CLEAN. I want the house to be decent when my husband comes home.

Welcome to 2011

Puppies! January 2010.


I am currently down to TEN dogs. Yes, JUST ten dogs. We've not had such a low number in quite awhile. Sad that this is a low number for this house.

Freddie's visit went well; I think it's going to stick and be a fabulous home for him. AND she is very interested in Stanford. It's like a new year's miracle. I literally cried like a baby after that visit out of sheer happiness and relief.

Clara is currently on a trial visit. It could go either way depending on how long they try it out. We really think if someone gives it several days it would work out. But we'll see...

I am basically down to two "cycles" within the pup shuffle - Tyler and then everyone else. Like I've been saying we hope to get Tyler to a better place ASAP. Sigh.

Going from 14 to 10 makes things much more manageable for me. Ha, I remember when 8 was overwhelming! They are starting to seem more like pets/companions and less like a part-time job. Part of me is terrified that all who have gone will come back, and I'll be back at 14 dogs all alone.

Hoping this momentum continues in 2011!

Big Fix #5

Tyler, a Big Fix veteran!
