here it is...

have you ever had to take photos around ears???
every shot, there was an ear sticking up...
and someone didn't want to move, cause there were babies in the floor...

so I had to move...
I will remove the clothes pins in the morning...
had trouble getting a good shot in today...
with it being light behind in the window, the flash wouldn't go off for me...

and this one, the flash didn't work, either...
but I love the banner...
wish I had started making them sooner...
and even though this one is good for V day...
I can keep it up after, too...

and here is what I was playing with last night on picmonkey...
my niece told me that I really hadn't changed all that much...
and I guess I haven't...

love, love, love picmonkey...

we did have one leave us today to go back up for adoption...
Amanda left us this afternoon...
clean, healthy and very lovable, so she will be picked soon...
the little marbled one who we have had so much trouble with, will be staying here...
he came in almost half dead from the last trip for adoption...
so, we know him, his needs and will just keep him here...
he is thriving here...
and he has a new name- Pooder...
since we are keeping him, MAX isn't it...
that's what they started calling him...
Max was my shepherd...
I didn't want to use the name again...
and him and Elmer are becoming best friends...
they played together for the first time this evening...
and they are kenneled together tonight...
;)
they are quietly curled up together...
Pooder will grieve the loss of his sister, Amanda...
but Elmer knows how that feels, since his sister was just adopted...
and he will be his buddy...
forever...

Snuggles is next on the list for adoption...
Alice, his mom, can stay until WE find her a home...
it has to be just right...
and then we should be back to normal...
right?

just a peek...

just wanted to show you the progress...

the mantle top is finally done...
at least until Valentine's day is over...

and a tiny peek at the banner...
waiting on the glue to dry...

and then I will take off the clothes pins...
and adjust the banner...
I am thinking I need to pull it up a bit higher...
if you use card stock for the backer board on these...
its thin enough to curl up slightly on the ends...
and no 2 come out the same way...
so it actually looks like its flapping in the breeze...

we started out with sleet before noon, but its rain now...
they are talking like we might get 2 inches between today and Saturday...
we could use the rain...
been real dry again this fall and winter...
the grass is greening up...

Bebe got a hair cut around his face and ears...
then I trimmed his paws...
muddy weather, you know...
then a bath and a clean muscle man t-shirt...
(they are onesees, but don't tell him that)
and then a doggie treat...
so he's a happy camper, nappin' on the sofa...

I haven't had my nap yet...
but we are creating spaghetti...
so you know I have to wait to see how that goes...
hope you are having a good day...
Craig and I are doing better...
the colds are still there...
but today, we are winning!
we even got dressed...
imagine that...
and a loving thought for today...
that is, if you like your hubby...
LOL
