A Visitor

We had a very fun vistor this afternoon. It was Michael, our Schwans delivary man. He come in a big refridgator box truck with foodables in the back.

Momma ordered some good foodables like chicken stirfry, potato skins, and some bagle dogs. She even got a calendar with lots of coupons.

Hmmm...Hope momma shares some of the chicken from the stirfry with me and Bobo.

Our Blogoversary!

When we logged into Blogger this morning we discovered that yesterday was our 1 year Blogoversary. Can you believe that?!!?! We can not!

In the beginning we didn't have any readers and didn't recieve any comments. Then one day we were reading a post by Ruby and Penny (the only bloggers we followed at the time) and they were pawticipating in a little project by Miss Kylie...It was Pink Baby's world tour. We got lucky and were the first bloggers to respond that we wanted to host. Once Ruby and Penny made an announcement on their blog that we were the next hosts...OH BOY our readers jumped from 0 to 20 overnight. Since then we have reached 75 readers (according to our readers box on blogger). We are so excited to that we have hit this big milestone and hope to share in many more such as our 2 year and 5 year Blogoversary!

In a year we have shared our lives, the lives of our foster siblings, tails of our transport friends, and the loss of a few good doggies. We hope you all have enjoyed this as much as we have and we hope this year we have many more tails of transport doggies getting to rescue/furever homes and tails of our most interesting lives.

We would like to share this award with all of our loyal readers. If you like you can put this on your side bar or your awards page. It says "Thanks for Blogging with us" and we really mean that!

Pee Ess: Momma got a grand adoption application on Bonnie yesterday. She is going to do the vet check and as long as that checks out Bonnie might be going to her new home on a farm soon. We think she would like a farm as she loves going outside.

Our 3rd Year Celebration of Life


Today I, the mommy, am borrowing the blog to share a story.



The story begins on March 16 2007, it was a late in the afternoon on Friday and I needed to run to the bank to deposit a check into my account. Since I and Mollie were the only ones going (Bobo was with his Doggy Nanny) she could ride in her new carseat (Outward Hound Pet Lookout Booster seat).

So I drug it out of the closet and installed it in the front passenger seat of my car. I put Mollie in her hot pink harness and clipped her in to the carseat. Less than two miles from home, as I headed into a sharp curve, a green van came into my lane and hit my car (a 1995 Chevy Caprice) head on.

When the crash happened I passed out and when I woke up Mollie, still attached to her carseat, was climbing out trying to get to me. I unhooked her and slid her in the back seat. Once the fire dept. arrived a volunteer fire fighter came to my car and asked me for my name, a relatives phone number and if I was alright. She said that she would call animal control to pick up the dog but I pleaded with her not to and I cried as I thought of Mollie going to the Humane Society with injuries and sitting in a cold kennel. When she saw how much Mollie ment to me the volunteer told me that she would take her home and have a relative come get her that evening. I was so greatful that she had done that for me and later that evening my grandfather picked her up and brought her home. The next morning my mom took Mollie to the vets office to have her checked out. She had one scratch and a badly bruised shoulder from the impact of the air bag. Five days later after I was realeased from the hospital we were reunited and she sat in my lap squeeking with happiness that I had returned. We camped out on the couch for a week as we healed from what had happened that Friday afternoon.




After the crash her outward hound carseat was unuseable and after seeing what could happen even when a carseat was used I knew the safest place for the dogs was in the back seat. So about 2 weeks later we went to Petsmart and purchased a new one. We got a booster seat that installed in the back seat using the cars seat belt. For a few months it worked but eventually the liftable seat broke and was no long able to be used.






After that I decided to use the carseat hooks in my new car to loop a leash through to use as a seatbelt. Then attach them to Mollie and Bobo's harness. I decided to use this method because all the other commercial seatbelts for dogs had large clips that were extremely heavy.





On the way back from our Nashville trip this year my mom and I started talking about getting a booster set for the dogs....I know fine time to think of it now...after we just hit 8 dog stores...but...Hopefully before the Yard Sale season we can find a nice booster seat for both dogs that fits our budget. Any suggestions are welcome.



Remember to keep the furkids safe when traveling!

Sewing Saturday

Ok...Momma planned to do haircuts, collars, and quilts today...but...She got side tracked. BOL

Anyway....She got the idea to make me an easter dress. So she searched google, found a pattern and dug through the material box and found some pretty material to use. Then she began cutting and viola:


She is not taking any pictures of the final product until I make my debut at the Marshall County Humane Society Easter Photo Shoot....but momma says I look fabulous!

Saturday Salute to Java from the Rock Creek Scotties

As we pulled up blogger on the laptop this morning we learned that Java from Rock Creek Scotties will be saying good bye today. He was a big dog with a big heart and will surely be missed by his family of humans, scotties and fellow bloggers.

He was an excellent farm and family dog...

...and loved his Scottie Siblings.



Have no fear and run free Java!




Please go visit Java's family today and let them know you are thinking about them.




Our hearts go out to his family that is missing him very much!
