exciting news for us!

So..we're moving away for the summer - just Hope and I. I'm quitting my job(last day is this Friday). We'll be back in September....


Can you guess where? Hope doesn't think you'll ever guess....

cutest work-to-eat in the whole wide world.

Hello! We've been very negligent and for that I apologize. Life gets busy. We said good-bye to our 16.5 year old dog and have had some other issues health-wise for Hope to deal with.

We went four weeks instead of three between groomings and a rash bloomed around what someone told me is to be called the "fortune cookie" aka her vagina. Needless to say, it was unpleasant for us ALL to deal with that. We did cream, powder, and oral antibiotics. So far so good, but we'll never wait 4+ weeks again.

Hope has always jumped off the couch on her own and I have continually cringed when she does it because it is so far for her - she is so tiny. She's been very reluctant to stand up on her hind legs or take the outside stairs up - I suspect injury. It is hard to see because she "bippity bops" around so fast but she is definitely favoring a leg. I am giving her a boost here and there to encourage her to rest her hips/knees and hoping it helps heal whatever is going on there.

Never ends! We won't even get into the self-induced puncture wound on her neck that is healing from one of our other dogs(she started it).

Now, pictures of cuteness that relate to the title of this post!!

We'll have some exciting news in a couple of days...
