Bye Bye Precious Prissy!

First, I do know there are more sad things that happen to people, I do not take that lightly. But, this is MY story...on my blog!
Last Thursday we were so very excited to have CB's parents driving here to see us. Prissy was scheduled to be spayed. I took her in at 8:15. She was as happy as could be as I handed her to the staff. They were to call me when she was awake. CB had just called me asking if I had heard from them (around 10:30) and they called just then, so I had him hold for a second. I was gone much longer as the doctor began by saying there was no easy way to tell me.........blah blah blah. She had a cardiac arrest as they were waking her up. All had been fine up to that point. They worked on her almost an hour trying to get her back, but they could not.
We only had her 2.5 months, but we were so attached to her. We miss her terribly. I was so glad CB's parents were here.
On Friday, I went to Petland and explained that my puppy had just died and they let me hold a yorkie puppy back in one of their offices. I held it and cried and cried and told Prissy goodbye. I needed to do that! They were very nice.
Now for a bright side. The breeder we got Prissy from found out and told my friend Tracy that there is a another litter due New Year's eve, and we can have one of Prissy's sisters. I am very hopeful, we both are.
I am so grateful for all the sweet Facebook notes, emails, texts, calls, plants, flowers, even a bear to hold. I am so lucky to have such great friends and family!

BYE BYE SUMMER!

I can't believe we are approaching Labor Day Weekend, signaling the end of Summer 2009. It has truly been a great summer. The July 4th weekend was fabulous, went to Vegas with my family, got Prissy, went to Texas to see the Bartleys, and ending the summer going to see the grandkids! We have had many weekends of playing cards, and a few in front of the chiminea. Yes, see my little Prissy? She is so precious, and we both are crazy about her.
The high today is going to be 72 degrees! The last 2 weekends have been similar! FALL is on the way!!

INTRODUCING...........PRISSY!!!

This is my new puppy, PRISSY! She is so cute, however I DO wish she would sleep more at night...but she will, she will!! The 3 of us are driving to Texas on Wednesday, that should be fun. But she loves to be held. Her little bladder is still very unpredictable.....but we sure are crazy about her....yes, even CB!

LAS VEGAS 2009

Left July 5th to go to Vegas with my siblings. We had so much fun! I WANTED TO WIN ENOUGH $ FOR MY PUPPY! I was up $175 on penny slots, so I decided I best move up to the higher $...and yes, I lost it. So, no puppy yet! But had a great time with the family. We laughed and laughed all week! We stayed at the Bellajio. It was beautiful.

JULY 4TH FUN!

The best week I can remember....Friday, July 3rd, we attended I Love America, full of fun, food, and friends. It was actually very cool when the sun went down. Great fun with great friends. We also went to the Springfield Cardinals baseball game on July 4th, with fabulous fireworks again!
