The detectives - aka vacuum cleaners

Tis most amusing having two hounds in the house.

I think if we ever own another beagle . . . we need to name it something like Oreck, Kirby or Roomba.

A Passion for Purple

I love the color purple . . . and pink. I like purple & red . . .and pink. . .and aqua. I love colors. Really not that picky when it comes to color. Although purple and pink are totally my top favorites.

Thus the reason I love these photos. They are all from Selina Lake.


*swoons* I would like that dessert on the table, please.



I think I'm destined to be an old maid in my future. lol. I really do love pink & purple.

Yet another oh so wonderful kitchen. Okay . . . going to stop now! *smiles*

Hey Jude

"Take a sad song and make it better."

Meet Jude our new foster puppy! We are calling her Judie though . . The master of the waterworks. She is such a heart breaker. Judie was on an urgent email we got on Thursday night . . . the list of dear doggies that were on the euthanize list for Friday. She arrived safe and sound last night.Whew! Dear sweet baby. She was extremely scared when she first got here . . . obviously has been abused at some point in her life. Today is already better! She's beginning to like being petted quite a bit. Even nudged my hand today. *melts* Lots of wagging and wiggle-beagle walks.

(Did I mention she's a mini beagle?)

Bebe adores her. She was ecstatic when we were getting ready for Jude to come. She's beginning to realize the signs of 'new puppy coming'. Judie isn't scared of Bebe at all. The first time she wagged her tail and got really excited, was when Bebe came downstairs. She finds Bebe comforting. They are the most adorable puppy pair. Judie finds Bebe very inspiring. lol . I think they both having fun being a 'Beagle Pack'.

She walks very slowly, due to her left leg being hurt. Slow as in snail pace. The sweetie has a lot of ouchies . . . like she's been running through briers. As well as heart worms. She is such a little trooper.

Before we got the email about Jude we were already planning on another "baby" coming Monday. Our first time with two foster doggies . . . *gulp* It'll be fun.

Dreaming . . .

. . . of a retro kitchen to call my own.

I'll hide the camera if you'll come back . . .

Bumped into this photo today - that I took using our web cam the night before Cammy left.

*laughs*

*wails*

We miss you Cammy grump-po!!!

It's still no fun having no idea where she is or if she's adjusting to her new family well. Nada. Nothing. Except that she went on a transfer to VA. We joke about the whole "top secret" stuff about Cammy's transfer . . . We pretend it's so secret because she's going to the White House. haha. Just a joke. But it's a funny picture isn't it? I can just see her stamping her feets at the white house for her supper. Oh dear.

Tyrannosaurus Moo Moo

How's that for a title?!

Yesterday Sara and I went Letterboxing with Stacey & De'Anna . . . looking for the Tyrannosaurus Moo Moo. ;)

It was beyond freezing, but also oodles and oodles of fun. Perfect timing.

Before we started our Letterboxing we stopped by the Geology Museum and it was the free weekend too! Fun stuff.

Lots of pretty rocks . . . and some slightly disgusting stuff. hehe. But all together very interesting!

Then we started out to start our Letterboxing. It was a pretty nice long walk. Freeeezzzing, but nice. I am glad to feel my nose again though . . . hehe

It's hidden among "dinosaur eggs". Not my nose. The Letterbox.

Searching . . . searching . . . searching . . .

I found it!

Then we stamped away . . . how do you like this cow with lipstick? Letterboxing is so mysterious! lol

Time to go to Starbucks . . . and the toasty warm car.

Cammy

Cammy likes her profile lots.
She got very excited after I took this photo . . . as if to ask "Did you get it?!?! Did you get it?!?" I did. But took it again . . . just because she is so cuuute. Then she wagged her tail in contentment. She knows how adorable she is. Yes, sirree and adores being reminded.

Dear, dear Cammy was picked up this morning at 7. Must go back to the shelter and get ready for her transfer to VA, to her happy forever home. It would have been so much easier to hand her to the happy forever family ourselves. But que sera, sera. As long as it's happy indeed . . . we are happy.

Bebe was such a good trooper. . . most doggies would be pretty upset about this whole foster thing. Oh no, not Bebe. She was excited from the minute Cammy got here. She likes being 'the dog' muchly, but adores having guests. Poor Bebe, fell into a mini depression after Miss Evelyn left with Cammy. Couldn't tell . . . was she sad that her new friend left? Or that Miss Evelyn didn't take her? hehe. She loves Miss Evelyn very much.

We miss Cammy already. It has been a very sad day. But it was so worth it. We are all looking forward to fostering again . . . hopefully next time he/she will tolerate Daddy? Yes. That would be nice.

Oh Monday . . . why can't we be friends?

Today I will . . .

.Take my Bebe's advice to be a couch potato.

.Not be sad that my most adorable skirt from RedDressShoppe doesn't fit and must be returned.

.Go eat lots of waffles with lots of chocolate . . . and try to fit into that most adorable skirt.

.Rejoice that it is a sunny day.

.Perhaps motivate the couch potato dog to spend some time with me out in the lovely sunny day.

.Ignore the fact that Cammy leaves on Thursday.

.Act like a human and change out of my flannel pj's. Alas.

First Foster Doggie

Introducing our very first foster pet . . .

Cammy!!

She got here last night around 9. Cammy is an absolute darling!! She shows her appreciation about meals. Likes those lots. She likes being near people. Head rubs are definitely her thing.

This experience has been rather heart wrenching. But it literally feels so good . . . finally being able to foster and help. This baby is a sweet lovable and just good dog. It would have been a complete waste to lose dear Cammy. She is going to make her future family SO happy.

Random Happiness

(Not actual foster puppy.)

1. It snowed!!!!

2. Looking at vintage photos on flickr.

3. My room smells like lavender today. *happy sigh*

4. Our first foster doggie comes tonight! We are so excited!

Blake Spam

Blurry pictures and all . . . he is too cute not to share. It's a fun challenge trying to catch at least one of his 1,000,000 funny expressions . . .



How about the two finger look?



Telling Nana about his new cool toy.



Because, really! It's uber cool!



Check out that eyebrow. hehe. He is so lovable!!



Mustn't forget the feets.

Now, if we just could catch the face he gave me when I showed him these pictures. He didn't like the idea of having a twin at all!! "Huh? Woa! Dude! That's me!" turned into "M-m--oooomy" with the quivery lip and all. Shan't do that again. Poor baby. I wonder if he has any idea how positively adorable he is.

Breakfast

Breakfast and I have never really gotten along. I don't like Breakfast. The closest thing I get to liking breakfast is . . . waffles with chocolate chips and an occasional Grape Nuts.

So there be one of my New Years goals. Bond with breakfast.

What is your absolute favorite breakfast? What do you like to get you started in the morning?
