Guess who turns 4 today????

This little girl is ALWAYS ready to play! Every toy in the house is claimed by her. She's one of a kind and it sure is hard to believe today she turns 4! Our little New Year's Eve baby!
Happy New Year's Eve everyone! Please take care, wherever you go and whatever you do!

The cousins.....

P has five siblings. That makes for a fast growing family! On Christmas Day we got a photo of the cousins. They are sitting oldest to youngest....and 4 are missing! My SIL better get a bigger sofa! My inlaws would LOVE this! Hope they are watching from Heaven!

The red sweater....

How does a person with four dogs buy one red sweater? Mainly because the husband almost faints when she picks up four of them...... We actually bought 2 sweaters for Marty. All the girls have tried on the red one......I really wish I would have bought 4 of them....sigh.....maybe I should check the after holiday sale?
My sister and I got these in our stocking from our dad.....

Some of the festivities....

glad I said I didn't want anything for Christmas....

Merry Christmas!

Love,

Punchy, Zoey, Chloe, Rosie and Marty....ho ho ho

Have a great evening everyone! May the true meaning of Christmas enter your hearts and bring peace and joy to you all!

Christmas Party SURPRISE

Friends from camp had a Christmas Party yesterday. We didn't know the entire guest list, but it seemed that our good friends that live downstate 4 hours seemed not to have been invited. P and I thought it was probably due to distance with the party being on a Sunday. Our friend T called and was upset about not being invited. I got mad at P and told him he shouldn't have said anything about where we were going. On our drive there (one hour) they called us and talked about shopping, etc. D, his wife got on the phone and was sort of short. I felt awful. We drove on and were greeted by this......we were the third of ten couples arriving, thankfully it was only a "slight" chimney fire in their lower level. Things were under control and guests continued to arrive.

I was chatting in the kitchen and when I looked across the room I saw T & D! Apparently the joke was on us. They HAD been invited and HAD made the 3 1/2 hour drive to the party. When they were on the phone with us, they were actually sitting having coffee not far from us. Those stinkers!

Here's a few of us "ladies" from camp.....
and some of the guys.....

I love this group!

We had a wonderful time!

Brrrrrrrr

Such cuteness!

Dad's Party...no Pugs allowed :(

Dad and the Grandkids....one missing....P's plate...this was not his first.....or last..... Sis and R...

The newlyweds.....

Me, dad, and my sister

Dad, sis, and AI'm so thankful to have my dad. He is a great guy!!!!!

Happy 75th Birthday to my dad!

We're all going out tonight to celebrate dad's 75th birthday! My dad is awesome. I think many of my best qualities come from him! I love you dad!

Christmas Cards....

I am FINALLY mailing my cards today. If you've never received a card from us and are just so wanting one....drop me a comment with your snail mail!

Getting there...

Their faces just make me laugh......

You better be good....you better not cry......

Santa MartyPaws says.....13 days 'till Christmas!

Happy Hannukkah too!

Office Party

Since being sick I've been "slightly" off and bad about posting. Last Saturday was my office Christmas Party. I didn't feel all that great, and I admit I look a tad pasty, but I still managed to have a nice time..plus we got our Christmas Bonus! Always something to make a person feel better!

Dear Santa.....I'd like treats for Christmas!

Keepin' little doggies warm across the lands....

I've been having so much fun sewing PJ's for dogs! Seems as soon as I get a pair made, they're gone! Several friends at meetup ordered them and I delivered them at the Christmas Meetup.

Chloe seems a little worried that Stella and Dharma are already ready for bed? They live on the lake and their mama was worried about them being too cold!

seriously could these little old ladies be any cuter?

Maggie is a rescue Pug that friends adopted. She LOVES her new PJs...

I gave Miss Pina Puggy (our friend's Liver Shunt Pug) a pair for her first birthday outside the *puppy*mill*. She loves them so much her mom ordered another pair. Then our buddy Salinger. His mom emailed with a request for red. She had a dream about a drop seat. I came up with these......

I know there are also a couple of other puggies out there that might be getting these for Christmas. I can't wait to see how they look!

So, if your interested in Pj's, drop me a note, comment, or stop over to my etsy store and "convo" me. There is still a bit of time to get an order in for Christmas!

On the mend....and off to a party!

Saturday was our meetup Christmas Party. P had to work, so I got up and loaded the car for the trip. We had a wonderful time! Every little doggy got to sit on Santa's lap and got a treat bag and new toy. We raised lots of $$$ from raffles to help those less fortunate.

We had a nice ham/turkey dinner that was catered....the cake was YUMMY too! We were gone from 8:30am until after 3pm. Needless to say the furry foursome was EXHAUSTED!

RIP Gill Finny

Our little adopted fish, Gill Finny, passed away today. He was one crazy tropical fish. I gave him his rightfull "burial at sea".

RIP Gill...you were one lucky fish!

Sick....

I thought I'd escape the whole flu thing by avoiding sick people and washing my hands....alot....it didn't work. I've been flat out since Monday. Hope to rejoin the living tomarrow and get back to blogging and visiting everyone's blogs....

Cyber Monday....

Busy this afternoon with the models trying to get stuff listed on etsy........

more to come....

Catching some sun.....

Happy Gobble Gobble Day!!!!

May your day be blessed and your bellys full!

Baby it's cold outside....

Recently I've had requests to sew a little something different.....doggie pjs! Of course sewing anything for Pugs involves changing things up a bit....due to their...well.....chubbiness, roundness, barrel body? This is a great idea when you want to turn the heat down and your little furry one is home. Plus, it's open for those potty stops!

I've also been back to making coats. I donated these two reversible little numbers to A's sister who recently moved here from Florida. Her little Poodle and Chihauhua aren't used to this colder weather. They can reverse them and match or wear on the stylish side. I think they turned out cute. Can't wait to see them on!
I'll be putting a few of these on my Etsy shop. If you'd like to custom order any for the holidays, please let me know asap as time is limited.

Stay warm!

Talk to the hand...I mean feet

Many times when I talk to Chloe she stares at my feet. I'll say "heh Chloe, up here" and she'll still stare at my feet...strange little girl.....
