Sweetness is

Sorry about the glare but I have not had time to shoot the pictures over etc. but I'm sure everyone is about tired of the baby bugs Keno and Reno so here is some scrappyness

Last Photos of Keno and Reno

This is Keno while we are packing all them items

This is him while we were almost to Buckeye they are such good travelers

Reno insisted on being on my lap and sleeping he has been so clingy the last 4 days before we gave them away

Here is their stuff packed up and not to mention they had two more bags in the car with toys and things He had no clue but he was going away for good just breaks my heart his picture.

Last of my photo's but not memories The lady emailed me today to let me know how she loves the dogs and all the stuff she is doing so it's like they didn't even miss home. I thought they would be mopey but I guess they can weather any storm together those two that was my biggest fear is for them not to be seperated It was really important to me that they at least stay together it was already gonna be a broken heart. I know that they won't forget us I miss them more than they miss us.. Here is a couple cute pics of them so now it's so long farewell at least hearing from the lady that they were making her happy and that she can see why they need to be together was great news!.

Brothers settling in New Home

Well today the boys are in their new home.. We had them summer cuts done Thursday so they would be all pretty and easy to adapt to the new weather. Sure gonna miss the little guys before we took them they just would not leave my side just wanted to sit on my lap we didn't take them to with us for two days so they could be use to being home by themselves They are so so spoiled
Keno does not like photo's but here he is sitting by his Dad with his jacket was a little nippy at nite

Reno got a scarf but DH got there in time to save Keno but he wanted it off Keno just loves his brother

Reno a little fuzzy but was really cute jumping at the camera

Keno with the would you get that camera out of my face but he's so cute his eyes look big Little bug is really gonna be hard looking at all the photos' but they are all good happy memories and who knows maybe someday they will come back ?

Reno has no problem with the photos when I call him but Keno always avoids the flash It's gonna be an adjustment as a lot of things have been lately but there is some reason for the changes that are made I don't know what they are at this time but all I can say is that I hope it's good change sometimes one door closes and another opens I don't know why the door has to close with these cute guys but will see. They are going to a great home I was so worried about it I think they will be home sick for a couple weeks but they will adjust to the new spoiling I know that if we went back in three months those dogs would remember us. I don't want to hear anything bad so it's best probably not to know what's going on with them I would be saddened if I knew that Keno slipped under a fence and didn't come home or anything. Keno is the adventous one loves to wonder chase and go go go that little one Reno is the lazy boy loves to rest and relax. They both have such different personalities the one thing is that I know Keno needs his brother we have seperated them before and Keno is so miserable Reno was even happy to see him.. Reno loves to go under the bed and hide from him and Keno will bark at the end of the bed till he comes out. So many fun things they do but you have to be there to appreciate them or understand I guess We all love the things our Pets do. I am just very thankful they will be well taken care of. I just wish there was a way we didn't have to do this I know it's a lot harder on me than it is on them.

It's Friday & we are off and running

This guy feeling good finally He loves these little guys below. I think it's gonna be hard for him for about two weeks emotionally I just hope not to much His heart can only take so much.

Little Keno

My boy Reno

Sweet Keno after a hair cut on his fav blanket made by his sister

AFter a bath they run around and around like a couple nuts it's comical to watch

No more pictures Mom please



Well if you are reading this we are on the road taking Keno and Reno to their new home. Boo Hoo

DH have some Dr appts today but for lab work ups so then we are off to give up the dogs Yes it was a hard decision a lot of crying and lots of sadness I feel but the guys are going to a home where they love Shih Tzu 's and will be well taken care of it's almost as if they know what's going on because they have just been so lovable more so the last week. My husband cannot do the walking uphill He's suppose to walk but not uphill the dogs take about 2-3 hours a day of time he doesn't always feel well these days We had decided this back in January and here we still are with them because it was just something he thought well maybe so here we went thru Feb one day he was hanging on the fence cause he felt like passing out not a good thing I put my foot down and says this needs to be done he was suppose to have them gone when I came home from Sedona but I know he was seeing if he'd feel better but he doesn't So it's best to give them to someone they have a bedroom of their own already which I told the lady doesn't matter cause they always want to be in the room you are in. She is very excited she had been asking Amanda since she had to give up Jax if your parent's want to sell their dogs .We are not taking money for them, not selling them all we ask is that they provide a good home which they do. I obtained all their records and they are getting a grooming on Wednesday they will be in a home. /

We did have a couple people they wanted them but one was a seperation Reno could handle it but not his brother Keno loves his brother when we take one and not the other they can't wait to see the other one they have not been seperated since birth and they are gonna be 15 months old on Friday. Good thing they travel well I have packed their things so off they will go I will think of them often and I don't have a ton ton of pictures of them I will take some before they go I will miss them horribly but right now my focus on Dh getting better whatever it takes. He tried to put up a front but he finally has caved and says that he can't take care of them the way they need to be now if we had a yard that would be one thing but we only have a one bedroom place that is small and it's hard to keep them locked up there all the time. We are lucky they come with us during the day as it is. We spend a ton of time with them so the first two weeks I probably will be a wreck. I want what's best for them someone to give them the love , life they deserve. We treat them as if they are our kids they are totally spoiled we get made fun of a lot but it's ok.. Like putting their sweaters in microwave to warm up when it's cold and putting their blanket they layon in the dryer when it's cold small things but we love our pets So we are off to drop them off in their home say goodbye it's gonna be a rough weekend. Plus I have a lot lot on my plate right now it's more than I can handle I have created a list and priortized it so I will knock it off one by one.. To be normal again someday I can only hope.

Wednesday March 4th

Here is a lunch photo they always plated up our food nicely for us in Sedona

Here are some layouts and random photo

Breakfast in the a.m. Peach French Toast

I love scheduled blogging especially with my crazy schedule as it is I can't beleive how time is flying. Dh is doing better he's not as tired but he's still not feeling good but I'll tell you what he gets up everyday as if nothing is wrong and trys to fight it all off.

I have to take better picture of my layouts than what I have on camera they didn't come out well one was laziness in page protectors and the other in a hurry when they werent' I can't crop them right without them being slanted or cutting off something.. So soon soon I have to do a few things will be busy thru the weekend Just hoping for things to change soon for the better

Happy Wednesday all.

Here is a couple of mine to share at the moment.

This first one is a challenge Angelina gave to use at least three punches on your layout

The stars are a punch I used a 1/8 hole punch to put the brads in the holes along sie and the Sunstone is punched out of an oval scallop punch.

This one is a bling challenge issued by KristiI supppose this one fits in the bling challenge as well.So more coming this is just a few I need to go in and edit them somehow it's going to Picasa and I have a hard time using that I have to practice I don't know how to get my microsoft going with these that's easy peasy for me using that one. Some more to follow but this is just proof that indeed we did work up in Sedona

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BEST FRIEND,SOUL MATE, LOVE OF MY LIFE

Today is the day DH birthday

Happy Birthday to him We are keeping things simple going to breakfast as per his request.

Then I'll be making din din per his request. I was gonna take him to Bubba gumps but he 's not feeling the best so I'll make whatever he requests.

I might just surprise him take him to the movies he loves to go to the movies depends on the day and how things go if not I'll give him a raincheck and take him another day when he feels better.

I have no idea how I got so lucky to have him as part of my life but it's just one of those things when you least expect it. We've had good times, bad times, sad times, fun times, difficult times but each day my heart still pitter patters when I see him smile.

Organization is starting to work

Here is the mess I took emptied these shelves moved to my drawers..

Well one thing and a few minutes here and there and it's starting to come together and not be as overwhelming.. I still have a ton to do for my retreat but now my punches will surely be used more often..
