It has been forever since I have been on this site and wow its been 4 or 5 years. My dogs are all grown up and so is my daughter. I ams till the same ole person though just a little older and wiser. I have been fortunate enough to work for a wonderful vet last year and I have learned a great deal of information about pet health and care through him and my co-workers. Due to being needed at home and also some small issues there I decided to once again stay at home. I do miss it though very much. I think I cried for weeks when i had to leave. I have never loved a job as much as I did that one. It was so rewarding and perfect for an animal lover such as me. Here is a little update on my babies. Julie now 4 years old is so beautiful and spoilt rotten. She is the apple of my husbands eye and his babygirl. I think she knows it too. She gets everything she barks for no doubt. Frank however is my daughters baby and he has her wrapped around his paw. He is now 5 and he still has his marking problems so we have went to all wood floors and rustic log furniture. It brought the outdoors in and is easier to keep clean with Mr leg around. Now Bo and Dustie are littermates and inseperable. I never meant to keep them but I was too picky about homes. So here they are 2 years old and big spoilt babies. Bo is very big for a pug but he is such a good boy and minds so well. Dustie is her father made over all but the marking part. All in all we have a large pug family but are very happy I wouldnt have it any other way.

Well I have been so busy latley I haven't had time to post. So many new and exciting things are taking place in my life. Our family may be moving if all goes well with the purchase of a new store. I am a little scared due to I have made so  many friends here and I love my church and I have gone through alot here and now feel comfortable with my life. I however know that sometimes things have to change for the better. I will just have to stay intouch with everyone and visit quite ofetn. Maybe my friends and I can meet in Tyler a few times a month and picnic at the park and stuff. It will be fun. Well I am so busy still so I will have to go. Just thought I would drop in and update everyone on my life. God Bless!\

P.S. Please keep Kristine, her mom and her family in your prayers. They need it now more than ever. (((hugs girl I am thinkin about yah)))))

Well after talking to my best friend, who I havent talked to in a while,  I decided to post an incident that I went through last Saturday. Although it is very embarassing I feel if anyone can get a laugh well then its ok with me. You know after us women become moms we lose all ability to think sometimes. It's like one second you know what you are doing or saying but the next you have no idea what you were just doing. And those of you who know me know how air headed I can be....yes here it comes.... It all started on last Saturday morning. Kay stayed with a friend overnight and I was able to sleep in late. After waking up I thought I would take my blood pressure meds ...well one of my tablets are white and tiny. I took them all out of habit without even thinking and placed the bottles back into my purse. Well I looked at Frank, my male pug, and realized I have not given him his antibiotic yet so I walked over to a shelf which has his allergy meds and antibiotic that he was prescribed. I then placed the tablet in my hand. Well I got side tracked. I looked over at my daughters pet turtles and realized they needed to be fed. While I held that tablet in my hand under my pinky and ring finger, I opened the bag of turtle food and fed and talked to the turtles. Well Frank saw me get the meds most likely and took off. I looked around after feeding the turtles and thought "what was I doing?" Well I saw I had a tablet in my hand and thought " did I not take my Med?" Well I walked over to my purse and thought a moment " I guess I didnt" .....I popped that tablet into my mouth and then took a swig of Dasani. Then it hit me as I swallowed my water....  OH NOOOOO!!!! I TOOK FRANKS ANTIBIOTICCCCC!!!  Cough Cough....Gag Gag....   WHERE'S  the telephone book....Oh good...(Thank goodness for the poison control number in the front page) Ring Ring..."Hello, poison control. Can I help you?" "Well I dont know how to put this but I just swallowed my dog's medicine by accident..... ......Well I told that lady everything that happened Im sure she thought I was nuts but you could hear her smile on the other end when she replied...." Maam' are you allergic to penicillan?"  ...."Umm no!"  she told me that I would be fine and that it was like the human medicine.....WHEWWWWWWW. Thank you (click)

Now I vow to not give Frank his meds at the same time of day I take mine....I get too side tracked.

Well now that I completely shared all I think I will head to bed. As an update Frank is well now and is off of his meds. And I have been extra careful as to pay attention to one thing at a time...lol.... Now you know you have done something just as dumb....  Goodnite all and God Bless!!!!

Today was a fun and great day. It was nice to go back home and see my family. I sure do miss everyone. We all had a great time although it was raining. We hid eggs in the house for the little ones and of coarse I nearly goofed. I almost hid and egg in my aunt's (God Rest Her Soul) um how would you put this...resting place. See she was cremated and placed in what I thought would be a brass urn but come to find out she is in a box inside a wicker like chest. I opened the chest to hid an egg in it and everyone yelled all at once..."No! No! That's Aunt Margie" You should have seen my face. We all broke out laughing after it was all over...but I just want you to know Aunt Margie I wasnt taking that egg away..they wouldn't let me leave it with you. Well after that the rain let up so we had confetti egg fights. It was like giving everyone a carton of ammo and saying go...full blown war. I got smashed in t he head and even ended up with one in my shirt. Nice and broken and full of glitter....it was very itchy. We had a blast I hated to go but I knew it would be a long drive. Well I am gonna head to bed. Please Everyone I have listed below in your prayers! God Bless and Gnite.

I finally seem to be shaking this cold. I still have some coughing spells but not near as many. We were able to sleep in alittle today but I then went to Gladewater to visit this antique shop that is going out of business. Kay bought a few things and then we had lunch together. We had alot of fun. I also found a great Peretti book: The Oath. ~~Kristina, this is one I think you would like...it is his best yet in his reviews. I am waiting until I read the Visitation before I read this one. Well im gonna head to bed to read some more of the Prophet. Nite!

Prayer Requests: Alicia Ingram is still in need of our prayers. Update is she has had her son,Steven, which is healthy thank God and doing fine. However Alicia is struggling with high blood pressure. It has been at stroke levels. Please keep her in your prayers. I will pray for her as well. I know she will need all of her strength to care for her newborn baby.

Keep Kristine in your prayers as well. Her and her family and mostly her mom are going through a very difficult time right now and need to have peace to help them along the way.

I seem to feel alittle better today however the cough is horrible. It is a dry tickly cough that seems to choke me and is none stop when it comes on. I had several cough fits today but hopefully it will be clearing up soon. Today went well and I was happy when school was out so I could go home and get ready for church. I met Steven in Tyler after school and we went to this new Steak House where the old Blackeyed Pea use to be. It is kinda high but the food was good and one plate can feed two people. (You get what you pay for) After that we rushed home so we could make it to church on time. I have enjoyed our new study "The mind of Christ". It seems to be of help to me with all the battles that I have faced. Well I will make this short cuz I need to get to bed so I can read some more of the Prophet. God Bless and Goodnight!

P.S. Kristina I pray that you get rest tonight and feel better tomorrow!

I also Pray for the people and their families who are facing losses at this time due to the shooting out of state and explosion in Texas City.
