Bluebonnets Are Here!

  I got Ashlyn and the dogs to sit in the bluebonnets the other day. The pictures turned out great. I think I had  to take a couple hundred to get these few. But hey, it's worth it. :)

It has really been awhile...

   I'm not sure where I've been! Well, I do know.. but no excuses. I really want to keep up with this blog. It acts as a journal for me, one day I can share it with my family and kids when they are old enough to understand. But until then, I'm sharing with you!

Pictures of Cuteness

  You know you can't resist! I have such adorable human and furry children. I love them all. Especially when they pose for photos.

A Walk A Day

  Everyday Ashlyn and I take a walk.... usually it's just around the block, but sometimes we pack up the stroller with some snacks, leash up Roque and head out for a long walk around the neighborhood.

In Other News

     Because I have an instagram account for my boy Roque, I now have a TON of photos of him... Which is great because I really haven't taken many photos of my animals recently. Either I'm too busy taking photos of Ashlyn or I'm too busy cleaning the house. One or the other usually makes up the majority of my time on a daily basis.

Update on Samantha

   I received an update on Sam recently from her new family. I'm so beyond blessed to have found such an amazing family for this little girl. There is no way I could have re-homed her without being a stressed out nervous wreck otherwise!

Georgia, Weddings, Horses, and more!

A lot has been going on since I last posted on here! For example, hubby and I just got home from Augusta, Georgia where hubby was a groomsman in a friend's wedding.

Roque_the_Aussie

  Yup, I'm one of THOSE pet parents. I made an Instagram account for my boy! Quick! Go follow him!

Some Updates

   I know, I've been a bad blogger. That's okay though. My mission in life has been to simplify my day to day. To take a step back and examine what my life really consists of. What's important, what's not. To prioritize.

Seeking Forever Home

   This decision has been a long time coming and has been such a hard decision. Hubby and I have decided that Samantha needs a new forever home. If you or anyone you know might be interested please forward this information on!

Rainy Days

   I love rain. love rain. I probably love rain so much because I live in Texas and rain is such a scarce thing here. We can go months at a time without a drop, with temperatures way above 100 degrees some days. So when we have rain, we enjoy it!

Beautiful Weather

  It's been absolutely beautiful here in Austin, Texas for the last few days. Mostly because of the amazing glorious rain, and secondly because of the much cooler weather. This morning I had to wear a sweater outside!! Of course, 70 degrees is practically winter to us Texans.

Vegas x Roque Litter Update

  Well! I sent out an email to my puppy buyers and got back a few updates! I'm really excited to get to see these darling little fluff balls that I raised grow up to be such lovely dogs and family members.

Forever Homes

  Anya has found her forever home. Hopefully. They began their two week trial period together last weekend, and so far things seem to be going well!

Baroque Lady Anya Le Marie

  Lady Anya was the second born pup on September 22nd 2011. A little red tri female with so much spark, independence, and personality! After being away from home for six months, she's back with me and looking for the perfect forever home.

Canine Pneumonia ...... ? Part III

    I KNOW you all have been just DYING for an update on Roque. Well, here it is... For all his adoring fans and those that have been there for me through this rough patch.

Canine Pneumonia ......? Part II

  That weekend was one of the longest of my life while I anxiously awaited the arrival of the test results, and watched my pup suffer the effects of whatever was attacking his immune system. Monday took forever to arrive. And even then the results weren't available until nearly 5pm!

Canine Pneumonia ..... ? Part I

   It was Friday morning the 18th around 10am when I noticed something was terribly wrong with my 2 year old Australian Shepherd, Roque. I didn't even need to take his temperature, or check his gums, or listen to his lungs to know something was very very wrong. It was all in his eyes.

Dog Trainer's Child

   Being raised in an apartment with three dogs I think has affected Ashlyn in some dramatic ways... like the fact that she spends a good deal of time inside of a dog crate...

Last Weekend - Part IIII

   Sunday Afternoon - was the day of the AAAS March Meetup! (Austin Area Australian Shepherds). Hosted at the beloved Action Pack Dog Center's pool, in Round Rock, TX. Also, the evening brought a special fundraiser event for the The Joyful Horse Project in Lakeway, TX.
