Sweet Dogs

Wow, two posts in one day! 

Ok, so I haven't written anything about our dogs lately!  On the heels of another HUGE puppy mill ring bust, in Woodstock no less, and with lots of small dogs, Bostons included,  I thought an update on our rescued Boston would be appropriate! We have FINALLY almost gotten Gigi trained. She has had a really hard time with being housebroken, BUT we are there! She has finally gotten some confidence and learned how to play like a normal dog.  She still doesn't like loud noises and gets stressed easily. We can tell when her mouth gets all pink and her eyes get red, but she can stand her own with Winnie!  Here are some sweet pictures!

FROSTY PAWS, ice cream for dogs. Need I say more?

Winnie, asleep on "her" pillow. These dogs LOVE some naps!

Gigi's most favorite thing to do is take her stuffed dog, and get in Winnie's crate!  

Right before I took this picture, she was asleep with her lil head on it!

And, just in case you aren't getting what I am saying, check this out!

This is the organization who we rescued Gigi from, they, along with the Atlanta Humane Society have taken in lots of puppy mill dogs lately. These dogs need extensive rehab, mental and physical, as well as medical attention! They welcome any money, or supply donations!

Pirates and Sunsets

Well, this is WAAAYYY overdue! But here are some pictures from our awesome vacation to Florida at the beginning of March!  We spent some sweet, quality time with our friends Robert and Heather.  We did lots of shopping, relaxing, and just doing everything we wanted to do. They  gave up the chance to travel, took some time off, and let us stay with them!  We traveled to a different local place everyday, and I think it was one of my favorite times in Florida!

Here are some pictures for you!

                               

Mike is looking for manatees, here! We didn't see any of course! Lots of tiny crabs, though.

This is another picture of the Pier at Crystal River, where there are supposed to be LOTS of manatees...hmmmm.

This is the loooong pier off of Anna Maria Island, near Sarasota. There was a little restaurant at the end!  This pier was so rickety, but we walked all the way down.

This is our friends Rev. Rob, ahem, I mean Robert and Heather on the FREE trolley that circles Anna Maria Island.  

We went on a Pirate Sunset Cruise, in Tampa Bay.  Ok, Yes it sounds cheesy, but look at the AMAZING sunset pictures we took from our own little nest at the top of the boat. We also got free drinks the whole time. It was fun, but a little chilly too!

This was our ship, seriously, it was pretty awesome!

This is at Clearwater beach. First time my toes have touched the sand this year! WOOT! Let' s hope there are many more times to come!
