My New 4 Legged Baby " Hank "..

I am in love !!!!...LOL....I have been lonely for another pooch, since my Scruffy puppy was put to sleep last year .... Dog lovers will understand, you can't replace a pet you've lost, but you can sure fill a void that only a " super duper woof woof" can fill !! ( my 15 year old's term....LOL) Meet Hank ...
He is an 8 month old Black Lab Male... He is allready neutered and house broken....He is VERY lively, but smart and loving...oh and I forgot ...HE"S HUGE !!!!
He is soooo big....it's funny, he doesn't know how big he is...He met the neighbors little ankle biter mutt ( Jesse the wonder dog) yesterday and everything was fine, until Jesse got a little agressive and Hank didn't get scared , but came up on the porch and kept his distance and then kept wanting to go play but Jesse was having a Little Dog with Big Attitude moment.... It was comical.....I kept thinking , if Hank knew he was the bigger dog, he would stand around at to say " Hey....that's enough of that, I just wanna play " .....
So....anyways, he has stolen my heart allready and Hubby and Taylor LOVe him also....
He's my Super Duper Woof Woof !!!...

Enjoy this FREEBIE Valentine doodle or graphic !

Just thought I'd share this doodle for those thinking ahead allready to Valentines Day...

Working on getting back to normal!!

Whatever that is ...LOL.... I've struggled with the after the Holidays blues every year since I was a kid....No matter how wonderful the time spent is or how well planned and easy going it is, I still end up with the sadness and loss that it is here and gone so fast...But ,,,,add to that the work it takes to take everything down that was once fun to put up 2 or 3 weeks previously...I end up with less containers and more stuff and I even gave away bags full to my DIL this year !!This is one of the great wonders of the universe, in my mind...Only God knows the answers to these questions and events....He will tell me in His good timing....I just know it !!!...LOL
I have no pictures to post, still getting things back to "normal"....I'll get some pictures when I am finished and my house is in some kind of order...
God Bless you all !!!
