I have been MIA for awhile its wrestling season so I have been going like crazy watching my son compete one tournament after another. All of a sudden during all of this our precious Lola started feeling miserable. We were not sure what was going on & before we knew it we are at the animal hospital with her and we are told she has the Parvo Virus which is the number one puppy killer. Words cannot describe the devastion that hit us. Those of you dog owners know they are just like one of your children. The vet was not sure how she contracted the virus since she is always in our backyard and was vaccinated, but it happened. We went through pure hell and lets just say a down payment on something hoping that she would pull through. It was moment by moment for us as I hardly slept for days. Lola is my son's love and he was crushed then trying to compete during all of this agony. It truly broke my heart as his mother to watch him suffer emotionally as we waited for the outcome day by day.
Well it was a Joy filled White Wednesday for our family as our Lola came home today....
hubby brought her home in his 1952 Willy
its hard to believe she is 21 weeks
and through all of this my "big punk" (stealing this from Tara:)
managed to take 2nd place in a 10 way tournament
my love & blessings to all of you
I'll be sleeping like a baby tonight with my favorite winter
blanket from Simply Shabby Chic
oh and baking with my favorite nephew too!!!

Hi Kate! I've been thinking about you and wondering what you have been up to! Sounds like you have been busy! Poor Lola! I'm so glad to hear she is ok. I'm a pup lover, and I know how easy it is to get attached to the furry ones!
I hope you are enjoying the season! Happy Holidays to you!
Kate congrats to your son for a job well done! And so happy that your Lola will be healthy again soon.
Take care and have a blessed day!
Good morning Kate,
I'm so happy to see you're posting again. And I am thrilled to hear that Lola is feeling better. We have had a couple of scares with our little Cookie too so I certainly do understand what you went through. They become such a big part of the family...you're right they are just like one of our own. Anyway...happy day! Oh! And please pass down my congratulations to your son. Hope you have a wonderful day. Until next time my dear friend.
Much love to you,

You do have such a cute blog and lovely family.
Thanks for the comment on my blog. So sweet of you to follow. Keep up the great work on yours! Can't wait to keep coming back.
I love that picture of you, with a chocolate moustache! So cute! And speakin' of cute, not to sound like a cougar or anything, but that's a good looking boy you've got there! But how he could not be? He's got great genes.
Give your puppy a smooch for me, I feel the same way about mine.
