For the love of animals

I have always loved animals and have always pictured myself having LOTS of them! Growing up we had more animals than anyone I knew. We had an Avery with about 40 birds, 5 turtles, numerous dogs, a duck a cat and at one point we had 48 hamsters! My mom may have been going crazy but I loved them all!!!!

This past week we were dog sitting and had 4 dogs in the house along with our 2 cats. My first thought was oh gosh this is going to be a week of chaos but surprisingly all the animals were great and got along very well! I say this as I am sitting here listening to Hemi (our littlest cat) flying around the house throwing himself into the blinds with Chloe running after him (hope wood can't break glass! lol)

Anyway... Chula, the black Australian Shepard, and Honey the little cockapoo did great in our household! Honey has now returned home but we still have ChooChoo as Wayne likes to call her until the end of next week. All this to say... Whenever I bring up getting another animal Wayne can't say that our house is to full already with 4 because we now know it can accommodate at least 6! LOL

I loved reading this! Growing up, I always had a ton of pets. My mom rescued tons of stray cats. We had a wide variety of animals, including some farm animals. My husband and I had a lot of pets before we had kids. We are down to just a few now. I don't think we could manage much more with kids. I know that I will always have pets, though! Love the picture of the dogs!

.......Shake N Bake........

These might be difficult to understand but we wanted to share them anyway, they kinda look like little aliens right now. LOL Baby B (aka: Bake) was being very difficult today and did not want to be photographed much. Baby A (aka: Shake) was really liking the photos and we were able to see a lot more of him or her. Everything is looking good with me and the babies! We go back for another ultrasound in 3-4 weeks. :) Baby B (aka: Bake) squishing its head and trying to hide. Baby A (aka: Shake) waving to us

Ultrasound Photo Updates

Ok, I turned the photos sideways so that it kinda looks like they are sitting up. (Seems to be the only way my mom can tell so I thought it might help others as well) We are just shy of 24 weeks.... Only about 12 weeks left to go WooHoo!! Wow some days it just feels like it is flying by!!! Guess I better get crackin on the room! We went for a check up today and I was telling the doc that I thought baby B was just kickin up a storm, but she informed me that it could actually be either one because both of their feet are right next to each other. Baby B is definitely the one cutting off my air supply though... sitting right under my breast bone it feels like!! Baby A is sitting farther down so my bladder gets hit with that one. LOL The first photo is Baby A (Shake) I thought it was a nice profile, we had another one of a wave (always seems to be doing that!) but it was a little blurry. Second photo is Baby B (Bake) sucking a thumb!

Almost a week...

It has been almost a week since I said Goodbye... Last Saturday was probably the second hardest day of my life so far, it was the day that I had to say goodbye to my beautiful Neon of 13 1/2 years. My mind was and has been flooded with so many memories since that day.  I got Neon through the Guide Dog program to raise as a seeing eye dog.  He was special because they had brought him in from NY so that he would become a breeder with the CA program.  I remember the day I received the news that my puppy was here and I was getting a golden!  I arrived at the puppy ceramony Dec. 21, 1997 and fell in love for the first time in my life!!! Neon was only 8 weeks old when I got him.  He went everywhere with me... movies, restaurants, college, etc.. until he was 18 months old at which time I had to return him to the program (and I thought I would never see him again).  I received a call from the school about 6 months later letting me know that they were releasing Neon from the program because of
