the newest adventure has begun

I met him briefly on May 25, 2016.

He let me hold him, he was content, I watched him play and rough house, he showed his spirit, a true big dog in a little dog suit. I learned more about him and told him I would be back.

On Monday May 30th as we pulled into the driveway I saw him, I still couldn't believe he was going to be mine. But soon enough I was holding his leash and walking him away from the only home he'd ever known and he was fine; it was as if he knew I was his new home.

Early the next morning we started our journey home, he cuddled in my lap, we made pit stops with much success. 8 hours later we arrived at our first stop and little Hiccup won the hearts of his new grandparents. I will admit his new brother Harry wasn't too sure but not long after we got to our home Harry was fine.

It's been 2 weeks but it feels like Hiccup has always been here at home and in my heart.

A new journey

fingers and toes are crossed, tomorrow I could be meeting my future -legged little boy.
As much as I love my Tuxedo boy Harry, I miss taking care of a little sweet canine.
He won't take anyone's place there is room in my heart for another love.

sad day...

Button was born August 17, 2001.

She was just as feisty as any big dog in a small dog suit.

After 14 1/2 years she decided this morning she'd had enough.

Button died March 28, 2016

I know you are having a blast playing with your feline sisters, Rascal and Sweet Pea.

I will love you always.

it's the little things...

Right now in my lap is my sweet old pup Button, 6 months shy of 15 years and cuddled in front of her is her feline brother, Harry; in our lives for just over a year now. They don't spend much time  together since Button is blind and Harry is a feisty kitten when he's not asleep! In recent days I've started bringing Button on the bed with me for short spells, she's not always comfortable being close or held but she gives in and I love these times. It's even better when Harry joins us and the 2 fur children fall asleep head to head. Tonight Harry is making sure Button knows he's here, his big back feet are resting close under her neck. I'd take a picture but it's too close. The one I have here is from a few weeks ago. I'll truly treasure these simple little moments always.

steps closer to the Rainbow Bridge

I spent a good portion of today watching this one sleeping, making sure she was still breathing. Button had a rough morning, it didn't start out that way but after she ate and I put her back to bed and she woke with a little noise so I held her. Her equilibrium is off and being blind doesn't help. I won't go into all the details but I truly thought this might be her way of letting me know she was ready to see her sisters Rascal and Sweet Pea.

Here it is almost 10 hours later and she's up and walking much better, still not interested in food but we'll see as the night goes on.

Sunday morning note-she's still with us, up early and getting into trouble...now she's sitting in her bed deciding if she's going to get out of it...

beginning week 2 of blogging...

so many things to write and can't think of one!!

Harry is in his other happy place, following Charlie, hiding from Charlie, deciding  what time he'll give his grandpa a back massage by walking on his back early in the morning

Button has eaten almost 2 bowls of food and is sleeping her deep sleep

Chloe was tricked into walking tonight, she's scared there will be fireworks somewhere in her little world

Chaz and Gus have been sighted and Roi is being mysterious
