Hello there!

    Hello everyone!

    I hope this finds you all doing well and happy.  It has been a rough while here in our household with my multiple health issues.  I am happy to be able to do things again.  The weather is fantastic and I am enjoying getting out ... breathing fresh air ... feeling the sun on my skin ... flower gardening (which you all know is my favorite) ... getting the vegetable garden planted FINALLY!!!  We plan to do some camping this year and we are looking forward to that.

    We have a new family member named Buddy.  He is our joy!  We rescued him from the side of the road ... it's been a while now ... and he fits in perfectly.  He was running in and out of traffic, almost getting hit a few times and we could tell that something was wrong.  He kept running into things and we could tell that he was scared.  When we walked up to him we discovered that he was old and blind.  He was a bit bloodied up from running into things and in true Chihuahua form ... was shaking like a leaf.  It was a cold day in the 30's and we didn't know how long he had been outside so we took him home.  Wrapped him up in a warm blanket from the dryer and hugged on him until he got warmed up.  That was on a Friday night.

    On Monday we called the Animal Shelter and left his info with them as well as our phone number and address.  We already had a dog, Scooter, who was elderly and blind ... I told them we would keep Buddy here so he would be comfy since I knew how to care for him and didn't consider it any extra work.  There is always a 7 day hold before an animal is put up for adoption.  On day 8 I called and no one had called looking form either there or with animal control ... so he was ours.  He has been a joy that we didn't even know was missing until he moved in.  What a blessing he is.

There he is asleep in his bed with his blanket.

I will talk to you all soon.  I hope that you have a great day and I will be back next week to the blog if not before.

Until next time!
