My Dear Jax

My Dear Jax, You were my first baby.  You were the first adult decision I made, my freshman year of college.  Your grandma and grandpa thought I was crazy for getting a dog at 18, but there was no talking me out of it.  I had wanted a dog my entire life and now that I was living on my own, I could finally get one.  I did tons of research on the type of dog I should get.  And as soon as I saw the personality description of a Boston Terrier, I knew it was meant to be.  Stubborn was the word that stood out to me, I knew we would be two peas in a pod. I will never ... read more

Lots to Love

Happy Hump Day!  I'm so thankful this week is half way over.  I've been a little spoiled this week because I was off on Monday and the kids (students) were off yesterday.  So, just three work days left for me this week.  Today, I'm linking up with Jamie for a little WILW.  I'm Loving my pups.  I snapped this pic when they were snuggling this week.  Sorry for the bad quality.   I'm loving that I've had a bit of the time to craft this past week.  I made this cute onesie for a one year old birthday boy.   I also made this cupcake ... read more

Meet the Pups

When I did my ask me anything post a few weeks ago, Caroline asked about the pups.  I looked back through my posts and realized I've never "officially" introduced the pups to you all.  I've talked about them a lot, but most of that was talking about the health issues Jax was having.  So, today I'm going to introduce you to the littlest loves of my life.  Meet Jaxin aka Jax Jax is my baby.  I got him when I was a freshman in college.  My parents never let us have a dog and I always wanted one.  So, as soon as I moved out-  I got a dog.  I ... read more

Fabulous Fall Blog Challenge Day 3

Wednesday September 21st: What do you do for  Halloween/a Halloween memory I love passing out candy to kids and seeing their adorable costumes.  I usually choose that instead of going out to a party.  Lame, I know.  I also LOVE dressing up my pups for Halloween.  Here are some of their past costumes.  They already have their costumes for this year thanks to their Aunt Brittney. If I have this much fun with my pup, imagine what my kids are in for! ... read more

Pupdate

Last Monday my little guy went in for his big surgery.  I'm very happy to report that everything went very well.  Jax had all 6 lumps removed from his little body.  One of them was sent off for biopsy and the results came back good.  No cancer! He spent the last week at my parents house recovering and we picked him up yesterday.  I couldn't wait to see him! After we got home, I took off his shirt that he has to wear for another week to inspect his wounds.  Poor puppy!  They are everywhere and a lot bigger than I expected.  But, he doesn't seem too ... read more

Prayers for my Pup

My first baby and first true love has a big day tomorrow.  Jax came into my life 10 years ago this May.  I decided I wanted a dog my freshman year of college, did a lot of research and picked him! Tomorrow, he is having surgery to remove up to 6 lumps on his little furry body.  Some are fat deposits and some are tumors.  I'm so scared for him and worried about the results.  Two of the tumors are on his spine and we don't know if they will be able to be removed.  My parents stayed with us this weekend and took Jax home with them today.  Dad will be taking him ... read more

Big Trouble

Last Friday night I came home to a nice surprise.  One of our darling dogs decided to pee on our new couch.  I don't know who it is, but I'm assuming Jax is the guilty party because he's on a steroids which can have that affect on him. It completely ruined my night, how could it not? The most horrible part about it is that it probably happened while hubs was getting ready for work, so it had definitely had some time to soak in.  Gross, I know.  FYI- We don't leave the pups out during the day (kitchen with gate), but we do let them out while were home.  They are 9 and ... read more
