Zuk & Bunny

This is the Picture that started it all...

So I had been searching for a large breed dog to adopt.

I was getting discouraged as I was getting no where.

So one day I decided to broaden my search requirements

to 200 miles from my home and these

2 heads popped up on my screen.

They were in Cincinnati Ohio.  I immediately

filled out the application and included pic of my 

large fenced in yard, my house and of my beloved 

Angel May with a long story about her.

I was told they don't adopt out farther than 75 miles away.

So sorry we weren't eligible.

However I kept emailing.  See Zuk is 8 1/2 yrs old.

That's very old in dog years.  The thought of him

dying in a shelter just was so heart breaking.

Finally on 20 April a member of the 

shelter called and said yes they had to

discussed it with all the board members, and our home

looked like a good home for them.  I literally

jumped up and down!

On 24 April at 7AM we headed to Cincinnati.

It was 4 1/2 hours one way.

Their first time in their new yard.

They warmed up quickly to their new home!

The Dog beds didn't last long.  As they had a

couch at the shelter.

They love the big yard and running around in it.

They are so fast, I swear they are faster than my horse.

Sometimes I just have to pinch myself and 

I think I can't believe this is my life!

I am so truly Grateful for all 

these Wonderful Blessings

God has given me. 

I am so grateful I found them online and that the rescue STAF allowed

us to adopt them.  I had told my husband after Angel died

I don't even look forward to Gardening without a dog in the yard

keeping me company, and now I have 2!

                      

My neat and tidy Livingroom went out the window!

and in it's place came Happy Dogs and lots of Love.

I have never met such affectionate, loving dogs. 

We just love them so much!

My niece with them...

Good morning cuddles on a Saturday morning!

Old man Zuk sticks to me like glue.  He is my

protector, and puts himself in front  of me 

when I answer the door.  They both go downstairs

at 5AM to be with me when I work out.

We haven't really introduced them to the cat or rabbits. 

They have seen them over the baby

gates, but the fact that there are 2 of them and

they could gang up on them sort of nixed it for me.

I'd rather keep everyone safe.

So Thankful
So Grateful
So Blessed!

Sunshine & Palm Trees

Having just escaped winter we decided to take a 

family trip to see some sunshine.  It was my nieces first time on

a plane that she can remember.  (As a baby she did fly once)

The last time my sister and I were in Florida together she was 3 and I was 7.

So lets just say many many years ago.

This trip was all about my 13 yr old niece and

giving her a vacation and memory

 she would have always.

She would have loved to go to Disney world but we'll 

wait until this whole Covid mask debacle is over with

and restrictions are raised.

Our favorite time was at Discovery Cove.

It was the best day !

It was an all inclusive swimming experience.

I loved snorkeling in the big pool with

fish and sea rays.

We swam with Dolphins which was on Ella's bucket list.

My sister and I

We did some shopping that my niece loves.

Since we just found out we will be Grandparents...

Ella found this this ride online and wanted to do it.

The car drives in the water and becomes a boat.

We did lunch with the Orcas at Sea World

Ate at lots of great restaurants!

Ella also wanted to see the ocean so we drove

a few hours to spend a day at the beach.

It was a wonderful day at the beach.
