Our Dog Gone Trip to Nashville IN

As most of you know, my hubby and I took three, yes count them three dogs on a short vacation. We have always left them at home and missed them very much. So this time we took them with us. We did not miss them! LOL

In the future to let you know how it went, they will not be going with us. The less of two evils is missing them. We really can't complain they were good but it was very busy with them. They are use to a fenced in backyard and coming and going as they please. The four hour drive in the car was very unconfortable, because they would not sit in the back seat. They would cry and cry and I can't have my "baby" crying. LOL. Here's the pictures of them and us on the trip. Try not to dying laughing. And I promise, we are "normal" adults.

This is our biggest baby, Bailey. Roger and I will be married five years July 6th. I got Bailey for my wedding gift. He has the first dog syndrome. He thinks our world should revolve around him. Just ask him...

Bailey is on the left and Roscoe, bling-bling , is on the right. We got Roscoe six months after Bailey. Roscoe is our little man and he knows he's a BIG dog. Just ask him...

This is our baby girl, Alison. She's a two year old Schnawzer, but she refuses to fold her ears. Most people think she's a Scottie, but she's not. She loves us dearly and we her. She is the princess. Just ask her...

I saved the best for last, Bailey in a cart at the Antique mall and all three with dear hubby in Nashville.

That's all folks.

Happy First Day of Summer!

Well it's the longest day of the year. Hubby and I celebrated in style. We went to the Farmer's Market, hung out in the backyard, grilled steak, ate strawberry shortcake and went for a long bike ride. It was a great day.

We are back from Little Nashville, IN with the three monst- oops, no, I mean CUTE dogs. It was very trying on the first day. The second day went better, but Alison was very homesick and I was sick for her to be home... We had a good time, but we will not be taking them in the future. You can bet on that! LOL. They had to go everywhere with us, because they would not be quiet in the hotel room. They went shopping in Nashville and they went with us Antique shopping. That was quite a sight, two of them in the stroller and one in a shopping cart. Photos to come, as dear hubby did not pack the digital. I know I couldn't believe it either... What's a wife to do?

We purchased so great thing and I'll get those pics. ASAP.

P.S. The picture at the top of this post is an old post card I scanned. Please help yourself to the image if you wish.

Our New Puppy Buggy

Well I'm not sure I should share this, but my husband and I are going out of town for three nights. We're going to Southern IN, to Little Nashville, in Brown County. It's a very popular destination in the fall because there are so many trees that turn beautiful colors. There's tons to do, little shops, flea markets, antique malls, winery, and a state park. We had planned to take our two Maltese dogs, Bailey and Roscoe. They are very social and most importantly portable. Less than ten pounds per pet "kid". We were going to leave our 15 lbs. Schnauzer with my step-son. Alison would have missed us and we her, but three dogs on vacation come on... where's the sanity and relaxation in that?
Stop, halt! The plans have changed, dear hubby wants to take Alison too. Three flippin dogs in one car for four hours and in a tiny hotel room. Yikes. Not to mention he does not want to leave them in the room nor the car, me neither, but what are we going to do? Purchase a doggy buggy... We did, we're going and here it is. Pictures to follow after our trip on Wed of the freaky family. Have a great weekend. Trudi M.


P.S. If your interested in one, we got it on Ebay. Great price, great service. (LOL)

Happy Mother's Day

I wish all mothers out there a Happy Mother's Day. For those of you who are not technically a Mother, I'm not either, Happy Mother's Day to you too. I'm sure you are special to someone in your life. A step-child, student, niece, nephew, friend, or maybe even a kitty or dog. Here are my prides and joys... Roscoe, Alison, and Bailey.

Books, websites, and Bailey

Well, I just added some web sites I like to visit. I also added some books that I read and think are great. Please enjoy.

Here's a picture of my first baby. We got him right before we got married. His name is Bailey and he is the love of my life. He is a 6 lbs. Maltese and five years old. I hate to be away from him. In fact, we are planning a vacation for this summer and we plan to take all three dogs with us, because we miss them so much. Bailey is getting some much needed sun after the winter blahs.

Allison My Spoiled Girl

Here is a picture of Allison. She is a black Schnauzer. She won't fold her ears down, so she has been confused for a burl. We try to get her to look at pictures of cute little Schnauzer's with their ears down, but she won't have anything to do with it. I told her today that I was afraid she would fly away in the wind because she had two little kites on the top of her head.

She is loved unconditionally by us and so very sweet. I love this picture because she is looking in the camera and holding my robe like a baby doll. She works and works with something until she is holding it between her front paws. She is such a little girlie. Last year they, my dogs, had fleas in the fall. I was freaked. We have never had fleas. From that moment on, one of her nicknames has been Princess Flea. We think it's cute.

Craft, and Gift site

Well I was on some one's blog and I keep reading about seasonal bunting. I wasn't sure what they meant by bunting. I'd call it a banner or swag, but there is a difference. We see bunting all the time at car dealerships advertising new or used cars. The string with the triangle for lack of a better description. Well in my search to learn about bunting, I found this really nice site. It's full of inspiration and great gifts. Here's the site I really like. It gave me some great ideas, it's called Olde Glory .
I promised pictures of our new bikes, but our digital camera's batteries went bye, bye. I'll have to purchase new ones and post the pictures latter. I really like my new bike. I feel like a kid.
