It's a Doggy Dog World

It's funny, living with two dogs in the house. Some days it doesn't phase me. Some days i feel like i have two extra kids and they won't give me any space to breath. Today is one of those days. They are following me around, getting in my way...you know, just annoying me. But on most days they really are fun to have in the family. Brennan loves,loves, Loves Lola.

Lola is our three year old miniature dachshund. She is Brennan's sleeping buddy. It's a love hate relationship. He loves her and she hates the fact that she is held "prisoner" when he's home. They work it out. It's funny to watch....most of the time.

Then there is Delilah. Delilah is a Labrodoodle she is a year old and still doing "puppy" stuff...
                                        like the day she tore up a whole roll of paper towels

I'm lucky i have a single pair of shoes left to my name. She is finally learning that she gets in deep trouble for these things and that she might not want to do it. You can tell she's starting to think a little before she acts. just a little :-)

LIFE...The good and the bad and the beautiful

It's been a while since i have blogged. Almost a year. This has been a year of trials and errors for my family. We have been through some things, hard things and made it to the other side.... Alive and well and stronger than before. Life is tough. You learn as you go. The Key is to not give up. I have recently had to opportunity to care for my grandfather. He has had a gradual decline since the first of the year and was recently diagnosed with NPF( Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus) This past week he had a surgery to put a shunt in to relieve the pressure. Hopefully it will relieve some of the symptoms that he is experiencing. That is my prayer. That he has a better quality of life....It is so hard to watch someone you love in this condition. He is strong. He is a fighter.... Here is a beautiful picture taken of him and his great grand daughter over the weekend....

Life is hard. We have good times and bad times. Sometimes we don't understand the suffering.... But above all,  it is Beautiful.... Just Beautiful.

"How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and the strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these. ~ George Washington
