Punkin

Punkin came to live with us on Super Bowl Sunday, February 3, 2013. Her sister Paris came to us last September so when Punkin needed to be rehomed we were contacted once again.  This was a big decision for us due to the fact that we had decided "no more".  After much thought Punkin came to live with us too.

Just like Paris, Punkin was well trained, sociable, and a pure delight. It took no time at all for Punkin to fall into our routine.  The great thing is that everyone gets along and they always make us laugh.

We know it was a good decision when our cat, China Girl approved!

Is it Monday Again?

Good Morning!  This is Myshka, you may have forgotten me by now. We are still here and trying to start the week with an early morning walk in the dark.

 

We acquired a new family member and her name is Paris.  Paris lived in an apartment in the city and could not enjoy the thrill of chasing squirrels and deer.  Her family made a heartbreaking decision to find her a new home and she came to live with us last September. You would never know that she was a newbie.  

This is Paris.

Paris and Betsy have become BFFs.  They love sleeping in on Monday mornings.

They just can't seem to "spring forward" today!

Mugsy

Happy Birthday Mugsy!

Wednesday, April the 18th, our Mugsy turned 18. I look at her with with awe most days as she goes about life as usual. She has good days and never complains about the bad days. I can look at her and tell if she is having a good day.  I guess there is something to be said about "good stock".  Mugsy sleeps on a heating pad most of the day until she decides it is time to go outside or ask for a snack. She greets me most mornings by dropping a tennis ball at my feet. I will roll it along the floor for her to fetch and she brings it back to me.  One time is enough for her these days.  I often recall there was a time that my arm would give out throwing the ball for her for what seemed an eternity. Most of Mugsy's life she ate what I cooked for my family supplemented by some dry kibble. She was also not exposed to all the different vaccines that most animal medical facilities want us to give our pets on an annual basis. I read about unnecessarily taxing the immune system with the many vaccines and decide against them. Granted many pets have been saved by these vaccines, however, many have also had severe reactions, tumors, and orthopedic problems.  

When my little niece and I brought this little pup home in a baseball cap 18 years ago I had no idea how much love, joy, laughter and fun she would bring to our lives. Mugsy and I have been through some major life changes together and she will always be my special Mugsy.

I love you Mugsy!

Sunday Adventures in Napping

Betsy, mom and dad have decided not to take us to the park today.

Did you hear that? No Sunday afternoon park adventure.

What? No park time?

Sasha I guess we can nap while the humans watch a movie.

Hmmm, this is good afternoon.

This was our Sunday adventure.

We were happy to skip right over Monday to Tuesday.
