Return to health and other happy happenings!

Well, finally, it seems (Knocking on wood of course!) that the kids are back on the road to health! Hooray! Happy me! And more good news is just around the corner!

Saturday, I'm off to Hubbard's Hounds to take Mandy the lovebug beagle, and Kayla the adorable pupper to meet prospective adopters!!!! Yay!!! Hopefully, they will be going on to their new forever homes! This leaves me with room! So we are hoping to add a new foster dog to our crew! We may be getting a newly rescued Cocker Spaniel. So far I don't know anything about him/her, so I'll have to make sure to post Saturday night or Sunday with all the juicy details! But the good luck we've had with our two, plus our last foster Rocko, we have totally fallen in love with the Cocker Spaniel breed!

For anyone looking to adopt a furry pal, get your applications in now!! We have a new transport coming in on November 2nd!!!!! Watch the web for details! www.hubbardshounds.com

One note of some very sad news. Sylvia the chihuahua, lost several of her sweet babies this week. They were only a month or so old, and just so tiny, that they got dehydrated and couldn't recover. Please pray for Kim H. and all the people affected by this tragic loss of these tiny little angels.

Buster got a nice bath tonite, and much needed I may add! He was one stiiiiinky little puppy!!!! Now he's all white again and fluffy! ha ha ha! You'd be suprised how dirty he can get roughhousing and rolling around in the leaves and dirt!! Man! Now all we need is to get one of those "Peticure" doggy nail thingys!!! I HATE trying to trim nails! UGH! He has to be muzzled sometimes, and is just not fun at all. Ironically, I can play with his front feet, and he's fine, just don't take him to get them done or try to do it. Brat!!!!!

Julianna is doing so well at her little toddler play group! it's just the greatest thing to see her jump up and down yelling "Me go Skooool!" sigh! She's really growing up on us fast now! I see improvements in her speech and interactions almost daily now, and although it's great, it's now interesting dealing with her saying sentences like "NOWWWWWWWWWW Daddy!" ha ha ha! Got quite the little attitude for such a teeny little kid! I just hope and pray her weight is up enough at her 3 yr checkup that they won't want to start all the poking, prodding and testing that made her stop talking all over again!!

Johnny's doing much better, now that we know it's Asperger's syndrome and it explains a lot to us about his behavior. It's nice to know how to handle things now and different ways to approach things, and helps us and him to not become as frustrated, which is leading to a much MUCH happier, and better behaved little man!!!!! And helpful, and really affectionate too!!!! I'm loving it!! It's like having my boy back after the last 2 years of struggling with the schools and the effect it had on him. I LOVE his teacher! We really got lucky with Mrs. Higby! She's a keeper! LOL!

Guess that's about it for this week, thus far! Stay happy, stay healthy and stay safe! Remember to check and test your smoke detectors!! It's fire prevention time!!!!!
