Friends???

Not exactly, but Chalupa has become much more tolerant of Maggie these days.


There has been a slight problem that has developed in our household lately...do you see anything wrong with this picture??

It has become quite a dilemma - so much so, we're contemplating getting a king sized bed just so there is room for all of us.

The things we do for our children....

Maggie pics

So, other than I having the pleasure (HA!) of getting what Del had last week and also somehow getting poison ivy which caused me to work from home two days this week, not much else has happened in the last week. So here are a few latest and greatest of our Maggie...

We went to check on Bella (the chocolate lab of a guy I work with) over the Memorial Day weekend. She and Maggie became fast friends, although, I think Bella has a lot more energy than Maggie and wore her out pretty quickly.

Maggie then spent some time with me in my scrapbooking room...

As did Chalupa (when Maggie wasn't there, of course!)

Maggie got another new chew toy after her bath this week, which seemed to wear her out...do you think she is spoiled (yes, that's a new bed, too!)??

And just for kicks I came across this picture of Maggie at the bottom of our stairs when we first brought her home last December....

and took a picture of her in the same place today....

Boy, our girl is growing!

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Happy Valentine's Day...

So, since it is Valentine's Day and since I had the day off (not to mention I had a coupon), we decided to take Maggie to the Puppy salon. She came home with these cute, very girly bows in her hair.

She doesn't seem to even mind them one bit, either.

In other news....remember Mr. Frog?

Well...since this picture, we've had an incident....Mr. Frog's name is now Lefty. The reason for the new name....well....Lefty no longer has his left arm.

But it doesn't seem like Maggie cares that he is one arm less - she still loves him just the same.

And, of course, so as to not to leave our other child out....here is Chalupa sleeping in her favorite spot - on her Poppa's lap.

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

She's growing up...

We took a lot of pictures last weekend, but due to some internet issues, I wasn't able to post until now.



Our little girl is growing so fast. And boy does she have her poppi wrapped. I would never have guessed Del to be a dog person (and he wouldn't either), but I'm afraid this little girl has stolen his heart.



She is so darn cute it is hard not to fall completely in love with her.



I was also able to do some scrapbooking last weekend, which was the first time in forever it seems. I did a 2007 year in review page.




And I did a page using pieces of some of the Christmas cards we received this year.

Since I'm feeling a little guilty about posting all these pictures of Maggie, here is one of Chalupa, who is pretty much back to normal since her surgery. (She is another one who has Del wrapped.)

This weekend (actually week for that matter), I was single mom once again. Del had to go to Carey, NC Monday night coming home Tuesday, only to leave Wednesday morning for Orlando. He extended his business trip to do some golfing with his dad. So it was just us girls again.

Today we had a vet appointment, we went for a couple walks and played in the back yard.

And now she is one tired pup.....my plan all along! :o)




We are both happy that poppa comes home tomorrow!

Just me and the children....

I was a single mom this week.


While Del traveled to Salt Lake City Monday through Thursday, I was home alone with the children.


Maggie was such a good girl staying in her crate all day long while I was at work. She still so desparately wants to play with Chalupa, but Chalupa wants no part of it.

Poor Chalupa had an extremely rough week. She had to have three teeth pulled on Friday (the vet suggested doing it on Wednesday, but with Del away, I didn't want to be here by myself if anything happened to her). We were very nervous, particularly when the vet told us there is added risk when a cat over 10 years old goes under, especially when she is FIV positive like Chalupa. Leaving her at the vet in the morning was extremely difficult, but she came through it beautifully and is recovering nicely now at home. I think she is still a little loopy, but she is acting more like herself a little each day (while keeping her distance from Maggie, of course!)

Maggie is as cute as ever and is getting bigger every day. Here are some of the newest pictures of our not-s0-"baby"-girl...

She got a new toy today after her class...

And here is one with just her hanging out with Dad...

It really is amazing how big she is getting. She weighed 30 pounds at the vet last Saturday. She is finally starting to grow into those big feet of hers. :o)

On another note...a very special shout out to my mom who celebrated her birthday on Friday and a very belated birthday wish to my sister, Tina, who celebrated a milestone birthday on the 6th of this month. (This picture was taken of the three of us when they were here visiting in September.)

Happy Birthday, mom and sis! Lot of love to both of you!

Her peops are home and she is happy about it!!

Someone really missed us while we were gone. She has been very vocal and won't let us out of her sight.














Even though we hired someone to come in to check on her daily, I'm afraid Chalupa was a very lonely puddy the last couple of weeks.

(And look!!! I can upload pictures!)
