Wow, it's been a long time since I wrote on here!! There is so much to tell....
Forgive me if this post sounds choppy...the pics loaded up weird, and I'm afraid I'll lose everything if I try to fix it!! ;) So bear with me.
Today I gavea couple new hair cuts...this is Pepper's first ever shave down!! don't laugh....you'll embarrass her. :D We've all made a point to tell her how beautiful she is. So far she believes us.
Here is the second haircut. Doesn't he look handsome?! His ears are getting nice and long...so pretty!! This time I really concentrated on making his legs look straight; I think
it worked pretty well.
If I look at him from the front, I can see where I missed a few "bumps", but overall it turned out well. :)
Sadly, Devin did not work out for us. :( I had to send him back to the lady that gave him to me. Here is a pic in his memory:
And now we come to his replacement. :D About a month ago, I was driving to work and picked this cutie up off the side of the road. Don't ask me what she is! We have no idea. The vet said she's about 1...maybe a little younger. My brother named her Samantha (aka Sam or Sammie). So far, she's been a great dog: loves the kids, gets along with the dogs, doesn't wander off outside, etc. Her only problems are a lack of training (easily remedied; we're starting to work on it!) and way too much energy!! None of the dogs can keep up with her, and she's never tired!! She can always go some more. :P Oh well....what can I say? She's young...in a few yrs she'll settle down. :D
Most of my bettas have died, and I decided not to replace them....I did set up a tank for my female bettas though, and they are all living together now. I have one male betta left....a red and blue crowntail. Maybe in the future I will try to start breeding them again; right now work has me too busy! (as you can tell...it's been ages since I was on here!!)
So I've mentioned all my dogs except one: Patsy. Actually I requested prayer for her on my other blog. She has a large tumor on her belly that continues to grow, and she's now slowed down sooo much. She can barely make it through even 1/2-1 mile walks; this is the dog that used to do 5 miles easy. She sleeps most of the time, and has started to have potty training problems. The only thing that hasn't changed is her appetite, which is a good sign. :) The day that changes is the day she needs to be put down. ;) I've never known her to turn down food! So please just pray for us...we likely only have a few more months left to be with her.
As you all know, my older parakeet Pal died...after she passed, Pippen started demonstrating strange behaviors such as latching onto the side of his cage and flipping his head between his legs. He was also starting to sit in one corner and chew at the cage. So I got him a mate; now he's normal again. :) I named the new one Locket. I don't have picks of him yet....perhaps at some point in the future. :D He's a cute bird though....yellow with different colors sprinkled over him.
I think those are the main landmarks in our "pet life". If I remember more I'll post them. :D

P.S. Sorry about the weirdness going on with this post...I simply could not fix it! :P
That wraps up my dogs....hopefully I'll get around to the bird and cat news later. :) God bless!
