A life full of faith, hope, love, and laughter.
Our Hungarian Velcro Vizsla dog!
Even though Daisy is pushing 11 years old and weighs close to 40 pounds. She still likes to jump up in his lap and get a good snuggle!
She was up and down, up and down, bothering Gino while he worked in the rocker. Finally he pulled the computer away and let her up. The whining stopped and the contentment and joy settled in for this old girl.
She snuggled in (after lots of wet kisses!) and let the love seep in. She loves her man.
You can see the love there.
We switched Daisy’s dog food last month after we got back from Oregon.
I had actually been thinking about doing it for quite some time and was researching dog food’s online. But went ahead with the switch after a HUGE recall with her old brand of food. Talk about some scary stuff!
After about a week of her being ill due to me switching the food to fast, she is back to her old self and has been doing great on her new grain-free chicken and sweet potato.
Daisy sitting on the top step waiting for someone to come home…
I love her salt-speckled rust.
Today we celebrate all our Dads and all the wonderful things they do for us.
Thank you Dads!
“Love is patient,
love is kind.
It does not envy,
it does not boast,
it is not proud.
It is not rude,
it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects,
always trusts,
always hopes,
always perseveres.
Love never fail.”
– I Corinthians 13:4-8a

She had to get a quick kiss!
Isabel has written another poem/story about Daisy.
A portion of her story/poem of Daisy.
Chapter 1 Daisy
Daisy dreams about many things.
I’ll tell you some, treat(s), sleep, eat, and food.
Daisy always wants or dose (does) these things.
Plus she is a dog (I bet you know that.)
She also likes the sunshine on sunny days.
By Isabel
She even drew a picture to go with her story/poem.
She told me she wanted to add to what she’s written but I haven’t seen anything yet.
My 1,000th posting has arrived!!
I am shocked that it’s here.
When we began this blog 6 years ago, I had no idea what to talk/blog about, let alone who’s going to read what I write!?! What do I have to say that is meaningful to those who read this blog?
Someone has been reading my words, most of those people have been family and a few friends. No one else has ever told me they read what I write, besides my own parents and they enjoy it. My father skims through the postings, mainly looking at the pictures and my Mother reads each one through. So someone does read it!
In those 6 years, I have really begun to enjoy blogging. I feel terrible if, I miss a day. This is my journal, about our lives and what we do. Some day, Isabel will be able to look back and read what she did on this and this day. She may even get a few laughs out of it and say, “Hey, I remember doing that!”
What I hope she gets most out of my words/blog, is that I love her very much. I want her to look back and remember those times that she has forgotten when she’s older. So she can sit at her dining room table (eating dinner) and tell her kids about the time she did this and the time she did that. Just like she enjoys doing with Daddy and I now and hearing about when we were her age.
So what I write is for her… remember to have faith, put your hope in Jesus. He loves you more. Laugh and enjoy this website.
It’s for you, Squirt! I love you.
Can you spot our dog?
She has been doing this for several months now, which is just to funny.
Today, however, she has on one of her sweaters and is sandwiched between the 2 beds like it’s 40 below outside! Is she really that cold?!?! With that sweater on, you’d think she’d be hot between those beds.
At night she’ll wake me up because she’s flinging the top bed so high in the air that it’s hitting the wall with a thud! She’ll then get in between the 2 beds and sign really loud, as if to say,
“Nobody get up! I’m good!”
This is how our dog sleeps on her bed…
Downstairs: that doesn’t look comfortable.
Or how about this…
Upstairs: she sleeps under the bed.
She has issues.
Today is Daisy’s 10th Birthday!!
Wow! so much has happened and changing in those short 10 years it’s unbelievable that we’ve made it together this long. She is the longest pet that we have ever owned and the second longest pet I have owned.
She’s got a lot of white/grey in her face but don’t let that fool you!
She still has her “puppy” spunk!
Daisy at 10 years.
Best buds!
