Pictures (lots of pictures)

 This is Maggie and Ruby's new baby brother, Oliver.

My sweet old guy, Cousin Eddie. His tumors are cancer. They said without surgery he can probably live another 2-3 years, but honestly, I don't know if he has that long no matter what. And surgery was so stressful for him. I'm not putting him through it. I'm going to keep him as comfortable as possible and give him all the love. It'll be a good ending for him.

This is the Broken Bow cabin we stayed in. I didn't get as many pictures as I thought. 

This is Chiara, our new very scared foster. She stayed under my bed for a day or two but she's really opened up. She's a good sweet shy girl.

After we got back from Broken Bow, me and my kids, Laurie and her kids, and Gwen went to the Botanical Gardens. It was so pretty. 

Ruby's class

Baby Maggie came up in my memories. Look at her!

I was exercising and I looked up and Honey was standing between my legs looking at me. I didn't quite get the picture.

She's a stone cold nerd.

Bear!

She had to keep her leash on for the first few days so I could get her out from under the bed for eating and going potty. 

Ruby is presenting her secret 3D shape. I think it was a sphere bath bomb.

These guys showed up at the Arlington Animal Shelter and, apparently, it's really bad to have puppies at shelters because there are a lot of germs and puppies don't have all their vaccinations. So, now they're at my house. What a freaking disaster! They are so cute but dear God, they are tremendous pains in the ass.

Us picking the puppies up. Ruby LOVES the puppies.

Transportation Career Day

Purple collar is Morticia. 

Rainbow day, I think.

Yellow collar is Wednesday. Blue is Lurch.

Spring break

We had Spring Break. We went to Broken Bow, OK with Laurie and her crew. It was very fun. We had this amazing back porch area with a fireplace and big comfy chairs. There was a fire pit and hot tub too. There was a little play structure too, which was why I wanted to pick this place. It was a great choice because the babies played on it almost every waking hour we were there. 

We went to the FW Botanical Gardens with Aunt Gwen, Aunt Laurie, Ella, and Jillian. It was beautiful and fun. Then we had dinner at Benito's, which, of course, was delicious. 

Ruby's been getting into Maggie's room while she's not there. The first time I knew because she left a chair in front of Maggie's door, which jeez not likely to miss that. The second time she stole one of Maggie's toys and left it in her room. I took away her ipad for a week this first time. The second time I took away her ipad and her youtube time. So far, she hasn't done it again. We'll see.

We have another foster. Her name is Chiara and she's the most scared dog I've ever seen. She has scars all over her and she was just terrified. She's getting much better. The first couple of days she hid under my bed and would not come out. Now she's way better.
