Please meet Will...our new addition.....




I'd like you all to meet the new addtion to our family! His name is Will! He is a Yorkie/Shitzu mix. Is he not adorable! He is less than a lb. at this point. Sally is afraid of him! She hate when he starts whining, she goes over, looks at him, and he will start walking toward her, and she takes off. She is so cute when she does that! Anyway, my friends dog had a litter of 6 puppies, one was a girl, the rest were boys. This was the only one who looks most like the yorkie, so I picked him! She pretty much gave him to me, because we are friends, and she wants to be able to see him all the time, so he is a shared puppy! I needed this like I needed a hole in my head, beleive me! Sally is enough work for 3 dogs, but I just had to have this one! The kids love it. The poor dog will never have to walk, because they carry him around all day. Great, another one that will not climb steps! Sally will not, except for the 2 porch steps, and she flies up those. She will not climb any other stairs, not even for scooby snack! The vet says, alot of dogs have height issues, mostly smaller dogs, like her. It's actually kinda nice, when a repair man comes or something, you can put her up stairs, and she will not bother the guy who is fixing the sink! My other dog, Terry, used to get up under whatever someone was fixing, and lay there, till I had to drag him out by his collar, and then he would whine the whole time, because he wanted to play with the plumber! Luckily, our plumber was a friend, and he would laugh about it! Anyway, I hope you like Will, we do! Pray my son Nicholas does not squeeze him too hard, because he is afraid he will drop him, so he squishes him to his chest and the poor things eye's bulge out! Goodness, it's been a weekend! Hugs to all! Michelle

Snowstorm!!!





Wow, I'm sure there are alot of you who got dumped on this past Friday/Saturday. We were only to get 8-12, we ended up with over 24 inches. Many friends in my neighborhood do not have power. I fortunately do, and I feel badly that I do. I'm warm, have lights, furnace, and my friends are worried because they are told it may be 5 days till the power can be restored. I offered help, and so far all I have been able to do is charge some cell phones. I dont have much room, but I would like to help in some way. I offered my freezer to my friends whojust did a big grocery shopping with alot of expensive meats, since they had gotten thier income tax check, they shopped big. I told them there is room for thier most expensive things, to please bring it over. They will today. I cannot beleive how bad that storm was. It was worse than the blizzard of '93. We actually got 36 inches of snow that time, but for some reason this one caused much more problem, they say. I hope where ever you are, you are warm, and have power. I am going to post another post, hope you'll stop in to see it, its a cutie!!! Hugs, michelle
