Shhhhh....Our Little Houseguests Have A Secret

Shhhhh........don't let the cat out of the bag!
I won't tell if your won't....
But I willlllll, well sort of.....Last Friday my friend, Waive, and I went over to our sweet friend's house to play with two Scotty Pups that were there. Our friend was in a horrible accident and cannot tend to her pups. (Doogs is wearing a life vest in case he falls in their large pond.)

So here are our two little houseguests - little 10 week old Scottish Terrier puppies. We are tending to them for now to help take some stresses out of our friends' lives. On the left is Millicent and the right is Finnegan. (I named them so I would have some order here ~ ha!)
After a little traveling, they were tuckered out and I NEEDED a break! Finnegan is quite the little whiner and butterball!
But here is Doogs, getting use to having them here and playing with them.
Doogs says, "Ok, mom, I've had enough! I cannot crawl under that chair to get that Finnegan!!"


Here Millicent is telling Mr. Finnegan what for! She is the alpha puppy, but a sure sweetheart and loves to cuddle.



Aren't they so sweet? Well, I have a little secret, however I won't tell anyone for now. No, it won't be that I am getting another pup. At least not for now. I have not been able to get ANY sewing or crafting done. Like having little kids around the house. I love them so much though! In a few days I will divuldge what great news we have - oh, I am not pregnant either! LOL



Thank you ALL so very much for the Doogie's Birthday wishes! Tina had asked what kind of cake that he had last year. We purchased it at a Dog Bakery (I know......) and it was made out of things that are doggy friendly - carob and peanut butter, to name a few. I didn't try it, but the six dogs that were here sure enjoyed it!!



I appreciate all of you and send my heartfelt gratitude to each of you for all of the emails, get well wishes, Birthday wishes and hugs and kisses sent Doogs' way!!! (((HUGS)))) back to ya! Woof and Rooty Rooooooo!!!!

Happy St. Paddy's Day and Happy 2nd Birthday, Mr. Doogie Dog!

Why yes indeedy! Mr. Duhgall was born on St. Patrick's Day! These are pics of his first birthday last St. Paddy's Day. He had lots of doggy friends in attendance - oh, and of course our wonderful friends, too.
Little lad opening his birthday presents like a pro with no help at all from us!
Now be sure to save some of that cake for all of your other doggy friends!
Two of my three boys...one Irish, the other Scottish!
And what goes better with St. Paddy's day and a Scottish Terrier's First Birthday? Well, simple - BAGPIPES! Here our sweet friend, Jared, plays away on his pipes. A lovely day for all and a wonderful little 1st birthday party for Mr. Doogs.

Happy 2nd Birthday my sweet little baby
and Happy St. Paddy's Day to all!

Cheers! Clink!

An Irish Blessing:

May brooks and trees and singing hills Join in the chorus too, And every gentle wind that blows Send happiness to you.

A BLESSING FOR YOU AND YOURS May the grace of God’s protection And His great love abide Within your home-within the hearts Of all who dwell inside.


Some Irish humor for ye~

Joey-Jim was tooling along the road one fine day when the local policeman, a friend of his, pulled him over. "What's wrong, Seamus?" Joey-Jim asked. "Well didn't ya know, Joey-Jim, that your wife fell out of the car about five miles back?" said Seamus. "Ah, praise the Almighty!" he replied with relief. "I thought I'd gone deaf!"

Murphy, O'Brien & Cassey sitting in a bar dicussing the words they would like to hear spoken over their coffins at their wakes. Casey says, "I would like them to say 'He was a wonderful family man- he always supported his wife and kids, and they never wanted for anything'". O' Brien says, "That's lovely Casey. But I would like to hear them say, 'He was a great man in the community - he undertook a lot of projects to make his community a better place.'" Murphy says, "Thats's very nice, O'Brien. But I would like to hear them say, 'Look! He's moving!'"

Irish Stew
We've got our own recipe for Irish stew: Get some meat, some potatoes and a lot of Guinness Stout. Drink all of the stout. Forget about the stew.
