Matt's Nose Surgery

Matt had nose surgery on
October 17th, 2014.  It went really well for him. No bruising and just a bit of internal swelling.

Newest Member to Our Family

It was a hard time without our Sophie Girl. She was the best.  I miss her so much.

We all do.  We decided that our house was just too empty without doggie footsteps.

The house was too lonely when all but one of us was at work.

The kitchen floor needed more care and cleaning without our crumb catcher. She was pretty good at that! Jazzy was the BEST crumb catcher, but Sophie did a satisfactory job at keeping the floor tidy of crumbs. :)

I didn't like being alone at night.

I heard things go bump in the night.

The cats were lonelier and cozied up to us more.... that was nice.

The lawn looked better without her burn spots from her potty. And, we all admitted it was great not having poop duty.

My clothes were in less need of a lint roller as was the furniture.

Admittedly, I don't like puppy duty. Especially now with my health issues, but, she keeps me active and moving. 

Also, I refuse to own a dog that I didn't own as a puppy. I'm all for the wonderful people that can rescue adult dogs and I donate when I can.  It's just my thing. I'm actually nervous around other dogs, that's why I won't rescue one. I don't know what trauma they endured and the dog would feel my fear of them. With my own puppy though, I will train her as appropriate for me and my family.  To each their own. Thank you to those of you that CAN rescue adult dogs!

But, we were lonely for a poochy-snoochy.  We decided on getting a German Shepherd next. I already named our future girlie, Luna. Matt asked if we could make her middle name Tic.  So, Luna-Tic she became.

We searched and searched. GSDs can be expensive! Holy cow! They can come with a comma in that price tag! But, we kept searching and when we least expected it.... we found our Luna!  And, her price tag didn't come with a comma! Her blood lines are amazing - all Eurpoean/German descent. Her dad has World Champion awards and her momma is just as awesome.  I stumbled upon a great puppy for a great price!

So, here she is.... introducing our newest lovie: Luna!

August 1, 2014 - We Lost Our Sophie Girl

My Sophie Girl

Sophie was awesome. One of the best. I miss her already. I'm sure I will miss her more than I can imagine.

It's Been About 4 Months Since I Last Wrote

What a roller coaster those four months were. I'm just going to say it was like I went to Hell.

But, now I'm back. I learned a few things about myself. I have no regrets. I have no guilt. At least, that's what I tell myself! LOL

At any rate, I'm back. That's all that matters. Here's a brief history in pictures:

How we were.

Unexpected Surgery

One of my Loveys

When the bottom fell out - My cute apartment.

Well, getting closer to cuteness.

Lots to unpack.

My "Loft" area in the background there.

And, after 5 months of being separated......

Talking Things Over.

Slowly moving back home.

Taking a break from cleaning out my now empty apartment.

We really did like it here. We learned alot.

My wonderful sons helping me in so many ways.

Closing the door on that chapter.

Me and My Other Lovey.

One of the friends that got me through. Not the only one, just the one with a current picture.

The only candid I have of us. I feel like a Kennedy!

Then something else to think about...

Trying to figure out what's up with my body....

I have a great Chiropractor....

The challenge isn't chiropractic. It is something else. But, that is for a different post...

To be continued.....
