NaBloWriMo - Monday Memories 4 – Buying a House




Ten years ago this month I met and fell in love with my amazing hubby; we started on what we called our five year plan.  Our plan was that we would own our own home within that time frame.  By year two we were both unemployed due to layoffs in our industry and we were just trying to make ends meet.

We had a kid to get out of high school and get into college as well as a budding boxer business to get off the ground.  With each door that closes another opens, and we ended up in a position that would allow us to continue to assist with the kid’s education but also allow us to move to the east coast.

November 2005 we drove to the Cliffs of the Neuse State Park and saw this view:

By the end of the year we were all moved in.  I did several turn and burn plane rides to bring Sheba, Duchess and the kid to NC. We had seasons!

Here we are now, 2012 with a budding business and our relationship still going strong.  

I've discovered a passion for Sculpting!

NaBloWriMo - Thursday Tirade 3 - Snooze



Disclaimer:
First and foremost, I love my animals.  I am not looking to get rid of them, or to put them out somewhere.  I don’t want to sell them or hurt them.  As many of you know we raise dogs at ETKennels and would never harm them.

That being said....

Yorkies are very vocal dogs.  They like to be with you.  They are not happy being kenneled.  They “need” their people; much like Boxers.  All Boxer owners know they have an 80lb lapdog.  





Our youngest female Yorkie, Froggy, had decided that she would like to have coffee with me in the mornings.  AT 5:30 AM in the FREAKING MORNING… EVERY MORNING!  When Yorkie’s wake they make a little “come see me sound”… 
For those that have not heard what a demanding Yorkie sounds like, lemme share.  This isn’t one of mine but she makes the same “sound”.





Cute yes?  Absolutely, at 7:30 it’s cute, at 5:30 it’s not so cute! It’s the same noise “Turtle” makes after a bath.  Here’s a video of her throwing a fit after getting a bath.






Here that?? Yeah think of that times 3 at 5 am!

Then we have “Daddy’s arrival”.  The dogs go crazy when hubby comes home… here’s a little video I took of that.


Check out our Facebook Page for ETKennels for all the new puppy love.

 If you'd like to hear what I hear, you can download a recording from drop box here.  These are my lovely pups.

Over all I love my pups, but sometimes I wish they had a snooze button!


Namaste & Blessed Be

Just for Fun!

This mornings blog post is going to be short and sweet. When we first moved to NC and our daughter came to visit, Elijah and I had two wonderful boxers named Duchess and Buddy.

Duchess helped me get through a rough period while Eli was working in Virginia and I was still living in California. Yesterday I logged into my youtube account and found this video I had forgotten all about.

So today in honor of PTO I'm sharing this wonderful video of our daughter playing with Duchess and Buddy.

Enjoy





Blessed Be
