Summer time fun!

Snickers teaching Zsa Zsa the finer points of snorkling...


Darla joining in on the fun...


Troy & Chloe say "No way!"

PS: Thanks for the well wishes.
Penni - good, legal drugs do work wonders! Not sure about the ones your clients know about. LOL!

Way behind...

.... I am so behind on email .... seems I came down with a nasty cold and ear infection. I am now on a couple good meds so hopefully on the mend soon.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to Sabrina's last litter! It's hard to believe that they are a year old already!

Magnet & Darla get to go for ice cream tomorrow. Our favorite place to take the dogs for ice cream is scheduled to open tomorrow, a day late for them.

I hope Jaycee & Inky had a great day!

Zsa Zsa on puppy cam!

I did set up my puppy cam again. I am now using ustream instead of mare stare as mac users and those of the newest firefox browsers should have no trouble viewing it. Plus, it's free!

Zsa Zsa is here!

Having to miss the early flight, Zsa Zsa arrived on a 4:22 pm flight. The Albany International Airport is in a very busy area, the most easily accessed via the Northway (I87). Unfortunately there were 2 accidents, both north & southbound, and traffic was at a standstill, and it is rush hour.

Thank goodness Leonard was able to stop in town for dinner so he was able to come along to pick up the wee one and direct me on the back roads to the airport cargo office. My friend Bonnie came along as well.

Since yesterday was our actual anniversary, I think she is a wonderful present!


I am hoping by this weekend life will get back to normal and that we will have more cute Zsa Zsa photos to share! I apologize for not answering email for those waiting ... hopefully I can catch up at some point!

The Departure

We were able to embark on the MS Norwegian Dawn at around 1:00 pm, Sunday 5/17. This is the atrium.

My surprise for Leonard was that I had the stateroom decorated for our anniversary, complete with cake! He loved it! And the cake was delicious!


We left NYC at about 5:00 pm. Here you can see the Empire State Building from the upper deck of the ship as we left the harbor.

We passed the Statue of Liberty.

The gray weather followed us on our first day at sea. The sea was very rough then, 7-12 waves, and it was raining or misting all day on Monday. I did not get sea sick, but had a horrible time walking as the ship rocked and rolled. We splurged on the thermal suite spa pass, where we had access to the indoor pool, hot tub, jacuzzi & sauna. It was set on the back of the ship, with a picture window view! It was so relaxing! It was neat to be in the indoor pool while being rolled with the ship as it had it's own mini waves.

We had beautiful weather the rest of the week.

She's on her way! (Oh yeah... we're back!)

Cornerstone Visions Deja Bleu

Zsa Zsa will be arriving on Wednesday!

Marked oh so similar to our beloved Demi, this little one called my name from the day she was born. The one big difference is that Zsa Zsa has two blue eyes. From the time I started in Cardis 9 years ago, I have always wanted a blue eyed blue merle. Zsa Zsa has turned out very nicely and we are very excited to have her come up north.

Horseshoe Beach, Bermuda

On a non-doggy note, Leonard & I had a WONDERFUL vacation! Bermuda was GORGEOUS (and expensive). The cruise was delightful. We are looking forward to planning another. We both pulled a sweet surprise on each other which made it even more special. I will share many more photos over the coming week.

Some Cardi eye candy as I go on vacation...

Alas, our boy was out of coat... but he can move!




Thank you Emily for taking such great photos of our Luther while we were in Topeka!

We are signing off from "blogger land" until after we return from our cruise!
