Other Tidbits, Fun, and News

Hello to all of my followers, friends, and family!! I apologize from our sudden disappearance from the blog. I was in the process of getting ready to sell my house, showing it, and buying it all at once and it was just exhausting! We are thankful that we have officially moved and although still surrounded my boxes we are settled in and getting there slowly. The pups have a bigger yard, I am closer to work, and closer to family. I should have announced a formal break from the blog as we have been focused on walking locally, but we will slowly be back. I have decided to discontinue the weekly photo, but we hope to continue new posts soon.

A couple other things that have impacted the blog, first the dog scene around us. Unfortunately, I have been disheartened to find endless dogs not under voice control, almost everywhere we go in New England. This has made it challenging and frustrating for dogs on leash, especially when encountering dogs off leash who are not friendly. I have spoken to many others who have noticed this shift. We of course will continue blogging and exploring, but this has changed the blog over time and will continue to do so as we have to plan very carefully.

Second, I am disappointed to inform you that Wilma has injured her leg. I am not sure what happened, but we are working with her veterinarian and have x-rays scheduled. Thankfully she is on medication. I am just hoping it is nothing serious and resolves quickly. On a good note, it actually seems better when she is walking so maybe we may go on a simple adventure soon, but we will see.

Soo…not sure how quickly our blogging will resume. However, for those of you that are new on here, there are endless blogs to read, just check out the menu and your categories of interest.

Hope everyone is well!

The weekly Video/Photo section highlights an Adventure, while I might also sneak in some that are humorous, adorable, or just other fun dog moments. If you have followed my blog from the beginning you know that I adopted Shadow as a puppy, and about a year later adopted Buster as a puppy.  We had many wonderful years together before experiencing the devastating loss of Buster at just seven.  It took a long time for our hearts to heal, but almost a year after his passing we welcomed little Wilma into our world.  We were devastated to lose Shadow on April 3, 2020.These two precious boys will be furever in our hearts! We were recently thrilled to add another amazing rescue, Gus, to our home on June 28, 2021! This Weekly Video/Photo section will allow me to share photos from all four of my rescues, whether it be a precious memory, or a current moment.

Today’s photograph is one of Gus on a stump this weekend. The stump was quite large but the photo does not do it justice. I love posing the pups on stumps and rocks and they seem to enjoy jumping up, I guess a chance of scenery from the air (haha)! Here he is:

Endless Leaves!

This weekend we enjoyed frolicking in endless leaves (haha!) We have alot going on as My Mom is in the hospital and I am getting ready to move which is absolutely exhausting. Thankfully Mom is making progress and doing well! This weekend was filled with visiting her, local walks, and lots of packing and time in the backyard. The pups enjoyed running through the leaves, chasing each other, playing ball and of course resting and napping. Due to everything going on, I thought a good excuse for some backyard leaf photographs, even if not a “normal” adventure. Here they are:

Today’s photograph is one of Wilma chilling in the backyard. She absolutely loves playing ball so of course there is one right next to her. It is funny when I have company over she always just assumes they are there to play ball with her…why else would they be there?! (haha) This week I bought them a new squeaky ball (not the one in the photo) and she has been squeaking away (haha). Some of my pups have enjoyed ball, but she has been the most obsessed. What a great smile!! Here she is:

October 3, 2024 – A little bit of Maine

On Thursday Wilma, Gus, and I Adventured to Maine, on quite a gorgeous Fall day. Life has been very busy for us, as I am attempting to move (locally) so we have just been engaging in our local walks. I therefore was especially excited to get away for a bit and add a new blog, even if it was locations we had visited to before. Most of our adventures were in York, and Cape Elizabeth but I definitely enjoyed a scenic drive. Poor Gus had alot of nervous moments, so I had to change up our plans some, however, thankfully he almost immediately resets once in the car. So glad to share a little collage from this recent adventure.

Today’s photograph is one of Wilma and Gus cuddling with me during a recent Patriots’ game! I absolutely love these cuddling moments. I would say Wilma can be particular about her furry friends, but I am beyond thankful that she adores her little brother Gus. I think I took about twenty photographs of this moment (haha)! I picked one of the many to capture the moment. Here they are:

Today’s photograph is one of Shadow and Buster back in 2016. I was just thinking of them today, as I often do…they were the best of friends! I am not sure where we are when I snapped this photograph, but they posed so well as they always did! I miss these two so much! Endless photographs to remember my boys. Here they are:

Today’s photograph is one of Wilma and Gus this weekend. They had joined their grandmother on the couch, and were just looking adorable, side by side. I could not help to snap endless photographs, and this was one of my favorites. Are they not just adorable?!

Today’s photograph is of Wilma and Gus at The Mount last month. The Mount is a beyond spectacular location. It was hard for me to not blog about it as I have blogged about it before, but I was glad to snap at least two photographs that I could utilize in my weekly section. If you have not been to The Mount it definitely is a must-see location. Here they are:

Today’s photograph is of Shadow and Wilma at my parents’ house. They were both gazing out the window at whatever was catching their attention. I always love synchronized photos – so cute! Shadow and Buster were best of friends, there is no doubt about it. Here are the boys, we sure do miss them:
