♥Pug Posse ...and a whole lot more♥: April 2009

Back a few years ago Whitney drew a picture of us.... I have always held onto this little drawing ...I thought we made a cute Stick figured family...she even added in a cardinal as a memory of my Grandpap....I think she must have been around 8 when she drew this.

Bradley has Whitney's ( and Tori on the other )name tattooed on his arm and always wanted to add a special something under their names.... Brad mentioned this was the perfect something to add under Whitney's name and Birth-date.......

So that is just what we did while the girls were away on vacation in Florida last week....

I love how the tattoo artist colored in the stick people...just like Whitney did on the original and I love how the Cardinal is missing the wing...Just like Whitney drew it....... so this is a special tattoo...because his Little Girl drew it.....

I decided to go ahead and have it done too....... but I chose to have it done on the inside of my ankle....

When Whitney got home she thought it was pretty awesome we got her art work tattooed on us... Brad has an idea to what he wants done under Tori's name on his other arm.... it is a combination of Both Tori and His Best Friend Kenny who Died back 10 years ago....Tori and His Friend Ken were soo close, and Tori and Ken had a thing for PEZ machines... so Brad is getting a PEZ machine (Click here )tattooed under Tori's name in instead of having PEZ on the machine it is going to say KEN . We have a big Jug full of PEZ machines Kenny Gave Tori through out the years... Brad and Tori are going to pick one out together....I can't wait for this!

Bradley also Surprised me with having my name Tattooed on his wedding ring finger....

I finally got my Family of Hearts Ive wanted for a long time...a symbol of my family~

The Pugs have been enjoying our nice weather...it has been so hot ( 90's during the day) they spent most of the time inside where it was cool but as soon as the sun went down the Pugs took over the back deck enjoying the warm spring night.

Turbo loves sitting under this table...I think since he is blind and nearly deaf he find comfort in being in being in closed in areas....

catching up on this and that.......

I failed you all again....I thought I was going to get better with my postings... but I wanted to catch up a little. Now that my girls are on an airplane on their way to Florida to spend a week with their Grandmother I have a free few minutes to do a little post.

My girls left the house at 5am today to head to the airport to fly out to spend a week in Florida at their Grandmothers house along with their cousins Kendall and Kayleigh, they are all the same ages and are very close. My MIL is a brave woman to take on all 4 kids actually the older girls Tori and Kendall will have their own place. My MIL owns a few units at a senior park and the one next door is vacant so the older girls will have that one to themselves, they have big plans for the week one includes a boat taking them to a private island for a day of fun in the sun shopping and relaxing....and maybe to a theme park of their choice. Now that I have my horse at home it is hard for me to get away.....although we did make a week vacation reservations in Maine on the coast in July. I found Horse care for the week we are gone. so now that my girls are gone I'm going to do some spring cleaning toss things away with out them digging them out of the trash. getting some work done around the house and I think Bradley and I will take a day off and head to the ocean for the day to walk around. we love the ocean, way too cold to lay out but it is nice to walk on and enjoy the view. other than that we will be working and doing things around the house.......

Turbo is posing for the camera...it is rather blurry...I took this with my cell phone

sweet Coal... looking out the window

well this has been a interesting few weeks.... the other day when I dropped Whitney off at school another parent was not paying attention and she drove into me just as Whitney was shutting the door of the car! doesn't look bad but her license plate actually was stuck to the back of my bumper...she had to pull it off...so now the woman's place is visible on my back bumper! we didn't call anyone we just left and didn;t want to make anymore of a scene and hold the school buses up...

another accident caused my Mother nature.... we went to pull our camper out and clean up the site for the new family coming in to take our site...come to find out............

a tree fell into our camper and made a big old hole right through the roof!

see the big branch pierced into the camper roof?..........not good.! so we brought the camper home to clean out the camper to have it fixed..........sighhh

Bull~Run and Whitney's cat have become great friends...they play together all the time and when I bring a flake of Hay out for Bull to eat Whitney's cat will use the hay as a bed and Bull will eat the hay around the cat....they cat will just lay there wagging his tail as Bull nibbles away.

we set up Bull's playground up so he has access to Whitney's Bedroom window....sometimes he will sit at her window until she opens it and hands him treats, his favorite treats are...Carrots. Peppermints and Maple Frosted donuts.......... so whit will open her window as she sits on her bed and visit with Bull......

He is so special....... can't imagine not having him. not a very good pictures...as most of you know I have tattoos...most of them are for my pets in my life...paw prints on my feet and wrists... last month I got another one...this time I got a horse-shoe tattooed behind my ear. so when I'M not with bull I can always hear his gallop and clip clop of his shoes.... just like why I have Turbo's paw prints on my feet...when I not with him he is always there at my feet like he always is....

The tattoo did not come out how I wanted...I was rather bummed but I have to deal with it...it could be worse but.... I told him I wanted a horseshoe the size of my thumbprint...I think he went by his thumbprint and he gave me a DRAFT horseshoe...not the one I shoes him... and I wanted a few stars..he gave me more than I wanted....( UGH) oh well.... it is what it is...Im fine with it now...either way it is a symbol of my horse so It's all good....

I have been riding Bull here at home but just in his Paddock ( Playground) Im trying to get him used of the road and the cars that drive past....I have been walking him up the road a few nights a week to get him familiar and used to the cars...so far so good...we turn a few heads as passerby drive by...it is not like when we walk the pugs up the road.... either it is Bull they are looking at or it is me in my capris wearing my big rubber barn boots....( snicker)
