The pug puppies I must admit are adorable and are at that cuddly, nauseatingly cute stage where they are learning to eat solid food and spin in circles at the same time...

but, I will not be sad to see them find good homes!  The least said on this the better...3 puppies of the last litter wasn't as, pee-u, stinky as 7 puppies!

Cookie has found a home with a couple who has no children, one other dog, 2 1/2 acres and a few cat friends...the gal came and picked her up yesterday, with no fuss and no fanfare....and it made me sad.  I loved that big old dog, but I must admit the reclamation of my leather couch and uninterrupted nights of slumber are helping to assuage my pain!  So Jenni, be assured that I think, and hope, that she has gone to a sweet home where she will be much-loved!  I told the gal she could bring her back if they all didn't fit together like a sweet jigsaw puzzle...btw, your vacation sounded like loads of fun....we are planning our July mom's trip to Dallas if you are still interested in going.....I want to go to that IKEA store....get my Christmas shopping done early.....

Jillian has arrived safely to spend the summer with us while she interns with Allison and the rest of the church college gang, and she fits in with us like peas in a pod!

Also, anyone who likes Above Rubies, Nancy Campbell and some of her children are coming to Oklahoma this month and doing a weekend mom's camp...look at their website if interested.....
