Bye Bye Peanut and Hello New Year!

     Yes we are still alive, just have been incredibly busy! For starters, several weeks ago we saved this lil guy from the gas chamber. This was one of the most rewarding things I personally have ever done! Remember my friend Amy who sent Johnny a big o box of fun ? Well she saw "Peanut" online and realized he was near my house and agreed to adopt him sight unseen if I could help. Sam and I were so excited to go rescue this lil guy from the hell hole he was in. When he was handed over to us he was terrified, dirty, stunk to high heaven and was all scabby (possibly a fight or tossed from a car?)

Here we had just picked him up, he was terrified.

1st stop was the vet. He was such a sweet boy even through the needles, micro chips, and all.



Second stop...A BATH! Whew, he stunk!

"Yea, I was in jail once too...congrats on getting outta there man."

This is where he spent his first night, safe and sound...

Sweet dreams

He is on a plane on his way home to Illinois as we speak. A very excited little girl is waiting on him right now. Congratulations Peanut, we are going to miss you very much, yet are so excited for your new happy life!!

 

Hope Santa was good to all of you!
Santa must have been really tired because he only left one of Reggie's favorite toys (you know the loooong stuffed toys with the squeaker? He's slightly addicted) Well Johnny insisted it was left for him, but Regg knew better. Christmas morning was interesting.  Peanut, Bella, and Toby stayed out of the way...

Santa left the bone for Johnny being that he is a heavy chewer and the squeak toy for Regg because he takes care of his toys and just enjoys that darn squeaker so much.

You just don't mess with Reggie's loooong stuffed toy ESPECIALLY if there are squeakers involved...he could careless if you're a pit bull or not...

"What? I let him have it...he was crying like a girl"

I didn't think he would speak to us again after picture day....


Sam expressed my feelings exactly about the holidays being over...
I hate this time of year when it's all over, but I am very excited to see what the new year holds for us!


Speaking of excitement, Sam came to me last night and said,"Mom I edited some pictures of Johnny that you might like for his blog with my new camera" So I thought being that she is 11 his head would be cut off and she would make him pink (I would've made him pink at 11yrs old) This is what she presented to me...


This is gorgeous! I'm so excited to see this talent in her at such a young age, this is definitely a framer! Needless to say I will be dedicating a blog entry to her art. Yes, this momma is proud :)

Until next time...
