Our Puppy Dog, Rocket!

Rocket is fast!  When I met him at the shelter his time was up.  I asked for him to be brought out and play in the shelter's yard and he was a blast!  He was fast and wanted to play with every other puppy dog there.  I fell in love with him and five years later he's keeping Roxy and Rambo on their toes. lol  He's like an energetic, permanent two year old. :)
Every morning Rocket turns into border patrol.  He sniffs every inch of our fence to see what was lurking around his yard overnight.  He loves to run into the middle of a bunch of birds and see them fly away...simple pleasures in life. :) 
Rocket doesn't give many kisses, but he sends everyone a "high paw".

He loves to cruise around in the corvette with his boy, Kyle. :)

Is It Really April?!

Hi and happy April fool's day and spring time!  I sure hope everyone is doing well. :)

We've been so busy packing, finding a home, and celebrating all kinds of special days.  

On Valentine's Day my son gave me these pretty roses.  Ever since he was a very young boy he would pick me a flower because he said it always made me smile. :)  

March 1st was my dad's anniversary of being self employed, 36 years!  And he couldn't have done it without my mom. :)

March 6th my hubby celebrated his 40th birthday!

On March 8th our fur baby, Roxanne-Love, celebrated her 9th birthday!  

March 12th was my uncle's birthday!  

March 25th was my dad's birthday!

We're also celebrating that we have a new home in Cary, NC!  Yay!!!  It couldn't be a prettier time of year to make this big move.  The pups are very excited because they will have a bigger yard to run and chase butterflies in. :)  

It's hard to believe it's already April!   We have another Mama Mallard sitting on her nest in our yard.  She took a bath on our front porch yesterday in a pail of water that we set out for her. :)  

The weather here in Orlando couldn't be any nicer, it's sunny and around 73 degrees...just beautiful!  Hope you are having a beautiful day as well! 

It's finally beginning to look like Christmas

It's finally looking like Christmas in our home!  We've been running so far behind this year!  Last night we put up the tree, stockings, baked cookies, we were singing and dancing and we watched Charlie Brown's Christmas.:)
We have another new family member and her name is Heidi.  Heidi's owner no longer wanted her or her kitten sister and my uncle took them in so they weren't thrown away.  My uncles oldest female pup didn't like Heidi too much and was picking on her, but my Grandma loves Heidi and she lives with my uncle.  Anyway, I now have Heidi, so now my grandma still gets to see Heidi and all is well.  Heidi fits in our family perfectly, she's feisty and we love her!  And our pups love all 5 lbs of Heidi!  She's 8 yrs young and so she and Roxanne are the same age. :)  
Now we have 3 1/2 pups and 1 kitty cat!  Life is never boring!  

  

Rambo's Birthday!

Happy Birthday to our Rambo!  

He's five years young today!  He walked up to my parent's front door on May 11, 2008 which was Mother's Day. :)  My son Kyle scooped him up into his arms and he's been with us ever since.  

We love you!

Our Rambo likes stirring up the moths in the grass so he can chase them!
He is a Happy Dog!

This is his first day home meeting Roxanne-Love.:)

Happy Birthday Rambo!!!

It's a Beautiful Day

The sun is shining and it's absolutely beautiful here today!  I started my day off sitting in the backyard and watching my fur babies play while I enjoyed coffee.  My hubby leaves a different coffee cup out for me everyday.  This cup was waiting for me today. :) It's one of my favorites!  He's such a sweetheart!
Hope everyone is enjoying their day!

  

Our Beggers

Our beggars have no shame!  Even our kitty, Foxy, begs!  Do your fur babies beg? 

they're so cute though...:)

Roxanne, Rambo & Rocket

My fur babies are always hearing me talk about fur babies from other blogs.  They made it loud and clear that they wanted to be in the spotlight too. :)  So here are my fur babies...ta daaaaaaa! 

Roxanne Love will be seven in March

Roxy came from a farm.  She had nine siblings!

Rambo will be four in May

He's a rescue doggy. :)

This is Rocket, don't let this face fool you...he DID do it!  Tee Hee!

I found Rocket at the animal shelter.  His days were up and had even
been extended.  I filled out the paperwork, paid a small fee
and picked him up a few days later. 

This is Rocket after a long, hard day of harassing and pestering
his two older siblings.  It's a tough job, but someones
got to do it.  :)

A Happy Ending

On Wednesday afternoon I spoke with Animal Services.   Our beautiful female Rottweiler was picked up by her owners.  She is now home! 

Our fur babies were waiting to find out whether they would be getting a new sister.
When we explained why they wouldn't be they were disappointed.  Once I mentioned that it leaves more treats for them their tails were wagging again! :)
A happy ending.
