OREO"S Special Day!! April 26th!

April 26th was Oreo Cookie's Special Day!! This was the day we adopted her, one year ago. I remember my husband calling and telling us he saw a Black and White Shih Tzu and wanted us to come see her! We could not believe it, as he did not want the first dog (but loves him now!) We had been talking about getting a little Black and White one and naming it Oreo ever since we got Meatball. So, we all packed in the car, including Meatball, and went up to see this pup. My husband was smitten in love. We brought her home and she fit right in. The year had it's ups and downs. Oreo had many near death experiences but is such a little trouper. We celebrated her Special Day with lots of doggie cookies for her and cake and icecream for the family.
This is photo of the day we got her last year.

I finally did some scrapbooking!

I have not scrapbooked in a year!! Really, a whole entire year. That is due to my new love of making cards.
This morning my good "blog friend", Crystal challenged me to do something with my new Life is a Beach Cartridge.
I used that and Lyrical Letters ( love it!) to make a cover page for my Beach Album.
I had fun doing it!! I am so happy that Michael's finally got these two new carts in! I love them both!!

Today's is Meatball's Birthday!!

Today is Meatball's 2nd birthday! Miracles do exist! Meatball has a true problem of eating anything and everything that falls on the floor including magnets, socks, scissors, paper, pens, pencils, etc. It is very nerve wracking and dangerous. I never thought he could make it two years with this habit of his. We had such a fun day. I took him to visit his favorite person ever. Her name is Lori and she works at the dog hotel at Petsmart. He has never stayed there but would see her after his puppy classes. We can not even say her name in front of him or he goes crazy!!! Well he had not seen her in 6 months as she transferred about 30 minutes away but today I took him to her store. He was thrilled when I told him we were going to see Lori, he still remembers her and went nuts when he saw her! She brought him a bowl of doggie icecream and sat on the floor with him. She played with him for an hour. What a great day he had! I had to stop at Michaels on the way home and I called and asked if I could bring him in and they said yes! He was a perfect gentleman in there and did not eat any of their paper!! Well I could not post a photo of him at his little party because I left my camera there!!! So I guess he gets to see Lori again tomorrow!!! This photo is of him at about 4 months old. I love this photo! Happy Birthday, Meatball!! I love you!!
