georgia

georgia is my mini schnauzer that has been the puppy love of my life for the past 10 years. she was not liked by everyone because she was not the friendliest dog and was so darn "vocal". our georgia died last Wednesday at the ER vet. she had been sick for several months and was just not her self anymore. you could tell she didn't feel good and that something serious was wrong.
i miss her terribly, but i'm so glad we got another puppy to help fill the void of losing two of our puppy dogs this year.
it's strange to be so attached to something that is not human. you feel like an idiot, crying over losing a pet, but they become such a part of the family that the mourning just comes.
i know i'll be just as sad when we lose "white dog" and the new puppy - but hopefully that will be a few years down the road.

Would you believe...

Would you believe... that White Dog had a puppy????

Would you believe.... thatI bought this baby from a lady at Wal-Mart???

Taking names - please help me name her!!!! I wanted Ava, but I was out-voted by the men in the house.

Happy Anniversary Baby!

I've got chu on my mi...hind! I love this man! He has put up with me and my shannagins for 34 years. He is the most patient person I know. Nothing ever shakes him. Nothing comes along that he can't see some blue sky somewhere. I am the luckiest woman in the world to have snagged him so many years ago. Please shoot him an email at richardherren@hotmail.com and let him know that his wife loves him very much. I want his mail box filled up ladies! Thanks!

a simple Christmas

With money being tight for everyone this year, our family has decided not to exchange gifts. It's really given me time to focus more on others that are less fortunate than us. Last night I went shopping with the girls to buy clothes, etc, for Lisa B. Lisa was on the wish tree at HealthSouth and is sponsored by Gateway. I hope she will love the clothes, makeup and jewelry we bought her. She's 15 years old so we really could have used a young chick's perspective! I think we did alright despite our handicap.

I've also been told about this couple that just found out that daddy's cancer is back and it doesn't look too good. My heart melted and I had to send them a little something. They are Christians so there is assurance of eternal life, but they are so young and just starting their family. I want to see them grow old together.

Happy Friday all!

Dang! I still look like Lucy Ricardo!

I've colored it again with a light golden brown and I still get firetruck RED!
Tonight or tomorrow I'm going to add some highlights to the madness to see if that will give me neon orange stripes!

Girls just wanna have fun! Right?
