We've Missed You Too!!!

Ok, seriously...how the hell is it September?!  Sorry to be so blunt about it, but how fast time goes by makes me sad.  I love summer--especially this summer!!  Record setting heat anyone??  The leaves are already coming down in our yard!!!  Noooo!!!  Maybe it's only because it's been so dry--yes, yes, I'm in denial!

 

This summer sewing & dog shows have kept me very busy!  With the heat I've had a lot of orders for the cool collars I make & this year I started making cool jackets too.

They have been very popular!  I was at a show in June & I looked around & there were 7 dogs with my products on!  How "cool" is that?!  I have had a lot of people ask if they work....well, I can tell you first hand that yes!  They worked on Doc!  Doc had an incident one hot night & he really scared me (panting, wouldn't move, wouldn't drink water) & when we got him inside, I immediately grabbed the jacket, ran it under cold water & put the jacket on him & within minutes he was no longer panting!!!  I was shocked how fast it worked on him!

Here is a photo from the show Vivi & I were at last weekend in Lake Elmo, MN.  Thanks Kym for the photo!  We didn't do anything, but she sure is cute isn't she??

Let's see, what else to tell you....hmmm...Howie decided the other day to take a nap with a piggy...what a cutie!

Doc can't believe summer is over either!!  He's just rolling around thinking about it!

Law sends kitty prayers to all of you!

And Pippa sends kisses...errr...bites!

We all hope your summer went as well as yours & you enjoyed yourselves!!

So...what's been going on???

Sadly, not a whole lot but apparently enough for me to slack on my site updates.  What a bad bullymomma I've been for not updating!!  This past Sunday Howie & I went to the St Paul/Minneapolis Bulldog Club's Halloween Party!!  Oh we had F-U-N!!

Howie got to meet his niece Greta & two nephews Boris & Franky.  Oh they were so smushy cute!!  There were a lot of bullies at the meeting & other than peeing on the kennel I brought for him, Howie did great. 

Sadly this is the only photo I got of BatHowie at the party!  Bringing a "happy" dog is challenging when wanting to take photos.  Thankfully our friend Mary took lots of great photos!  Check out her blog for photos from the party!

He had fun though & once again, he was out cold before I left the parking lot!!  What a handsome boy!

This week I'm keeping busy with my part-time Disney travel job (which I love)--anyone wanting to book a Disney trip, let me know (shameless plug huh?), taking my momma out to dinner for her birthday and on Friday Vivi & I will be headed to Sioux Falls, South Dakota for a show.  AND on Saturday, I have a lunch date with one of my favorite people...my godchild!  She's going to college at Augstana & may even stop by the show to see us in action...however, we show early (8am), so I can't blame her if she doesn't want to get up that early on a Saturday!


So cross your fingers, your toes, & maybe send some pixie dust our way that Vivi does well at the show!!

Hope you're all doing well!

Wellness Updates

Thought I'd take a few minutes to thank those who have wished me well in the last couple days!  I'm still going through Puffs Plus like nobody's business (finished 2 boxes since Saturday), so needless to say the congestion is STILL here which makes sleeping super fun!  The bullies & Steve continue to nurse me to health!  It's nice to be loved!

Grama is coming home tomorrow from the care facility she was doing PT at for the last 2 weeks.  She has done pretty well in PT, so that's good.  I know she's been wanting to come home for about a week now so she'll be more than packed & ready when my mom goes to pick her up!  I don't think the bullies or I will be over anytime soon to welcome her home, but I'm glad she's coming home!

See..here are my bully & kitty nurses in action!  Making sure momma is ok while she sleeps!!
