4 Paws Kingdom Trip

The pups did well on the trip to 4 Paws Kingdom in North Carolina. They all fit in the Tahoe amazingly...lol...we put most of our luggage in the back of Josh's (my brother) truck, otherwise we would have had to get one of those totes that go ontop of your vehicle..lol...The dogs did well on the trip, we stopped every two hours, so it turned into about 10 to 11 hr drive all together.

Griffin & Kane got along great with all the other pups....Trinity didn't like new pups entering "her dogpark" so I had to put her on leash until they met, and after that she was fine. Harley was great, except for one incident, there was a little australian male pup, about his age, and Harley kept humping/dominating him, so we had to put him on leash once. All in all, everything went well.

We stayed in the cabin and it was $69 a night, didn't think that was to bad, they also had air conditioning, so we were thankful for that. So far noone has come down with any sickness, I am crossing my fingers that continues. As far as the cleanliness of the campgrounds...it was super clean except for the pond, but I don't think they want to put any chemicals in it. It was great for the dogs, but not really for humans. They had 7 dogparks, 16 acres of hiking trails, dog bath house, pavillion with wifi access...and everyone was sooooo nice. I will deffinatly go back.

The owner told me that there was 56 dogs there, but it really wasn't crowded. I don't know if allot of people stayed in the ac because of the heat, or if the place is just so big that it didn't seem crowded. It was very nice though, and a great experience for the pups.

Our Four Pupkids

Here is a picture I made of our four pupkids. We just love them to pieces.

New Member to the Family

Hey everyone, Jason and I have some new news to pass on to everyone. Jason has always had a love for Olde English Bulldogs. Jason has wanted one since childhood, but never had the right oppurtunity to own one. When we were at the Pet Expo we saw one and he just fell in love with it. All the way home for Virginia to Ohio, he talked about how he would love to have a bulldog. So when we got home he started searching on the net and talking to breeders and found a little boy he just fell in love with. So Friday night we drove to Fort Wayne, IN to meet the breeder and brought our new member home.
He has cute as can be and all the other puppers just seem to love him. Trinity took to him right away, Kane likes him almost to much to where when he trys to play, sometimes he is to rough, but is learning. Griffin to a little longer than the other two to warm up, but now he is really accepting him as a part of the family. Cheeto even seems to tolerate him real well....lol. ...

Pet Expo

I have been so busy I haven't yet posted about our fun trip to Maryland and Virginia, March 19-22. Wednesday we headed off to Maryland and visited with Alex, John, and the kids for a few days. Took Trinity to Alex's wonderful vet to get some tests ran. Then Friday off to Chantilly to the Pet Expo.
It was a great experience at the Pet Expo. We met allot of people and got allot of great stuff for the puppers. Trinity had lots of fun, but after all said and done, she was ready to go home. She had a very big and exhausting weekend. It was so great to see Lisa, Charlie, kids, Alex, John, their kids, and Vicky & her hubby. Also to meet Jessica, Backy, and all the other wonderful people we met.
We are planning to head out again next year for another funfilled journey.

Kane had a wonderful birthday party. He got lots of treats and Mommy made him a yummy carob cake with cheese cutouts.

KANE'S BIRTHDAY

Our baby boy is 2 yrs old today.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KANE WE LOVE YOU!!!!!

Found a Forever Home

I was traveling to work from home after taking care of the pups on lunch break and I saw this poor inocent dog running along a four lane hwy. I pulled over and she jumped right in with me. I took her to work with me, feed and watered her, and she slept most of the day. I have called around to the shelters, humane society, and vets and noone has called in saying they lost their dog. She is the sweetest dog ever, she won the heart of anyone that came in contact with her.
I took her to the vet, got her vet checked and up to date on her vaccines. My brother and I really fell hard for her. I would love to have her, but I already have three in the house and Josh would love to have her as well, but wasn't sure how his fiance's dogs would get along with her, and she is moving in with him this summer.
I called the vets first thing this morning to inform them that I would be there to pick her up today, and they said that one of the workers there totally fell in love with her. So I asked to speak to her.
She is a senior in highschool, she lives with her Dad out in the country, she has a fenced in yard, she works at the vet part time on a work program for school. She explained to me how her dog just passed last week and that this precious girl that I found reminded her of her dog that she lost. She went on about telling me how she would be able to go indoors and outdoors as she pleases. She sounds like just a perfect home. So at 11:15 a.m. today the precious angel that I found went to her new home.

The Big Storm

We got home from the Michigan trip and there was drifts of snow everywhere and almost white out conditions. We were so fortunate to have gotten home safe. The pups were safe and horses we safe. We were under a blizzard warning and under a level 3 condition and told to stay inside and could get arrested if traveling the roads. All in all everything turned out well with us and everyone is happy and healthy.

Michigan Trip

We took a trip to Michigan with our family and had lots of fun. We missed the pups terribly, but they had a wonderful sitter while we were gone. We traveled to Michigan to go snowmobiling. We went around 300 miles total and had no major breakdowns or issues.

We got a call late the night before we left (Monday) from my cousin and he said that there was bad weather heading to Ohio. The news was saying that it was a possible blizzard. The were calling for 10-16 inches of snow and 30 mph winds. So Tuesday morning we heading out at 6 a.m. for a 8 hr drive home. We got about 1 1/2 from home and the roads starting getting really bad. We about lost it a few times, so Jason slowed down to about 45 mph on the main highway. We were traveling at that speed for no more than 15 min and everyone ahead of us starting hitting there brakes. Then we were at a dead stop.

We waited in traffic for 2 hours and found out when we got to the scene of the accident it consisted of a jack knifed cemi that came from the northbound lane to the southbound lane and a car that broke the guardrail and went over the bridge. So the northbound and southbound traffic was at a deadstop. I really hope everyone made it out of the accident ok.

My best friend Lisa & her family are in my thoughts and prayers in this difficult time in there life. Passing of a loved one is one of the most difficult things you will go through in your lifetime. I am here for you as well as all who love you so dearly. I love you Lisa!!!!

Its been a while since I have given an update. On Dec. 18th was Griffins birthday, we threw a party for him on Dec. 16th with all his pupper friends. He got lots of yummy treats and cake. I just can't believe he is two already.
Trinity is doing wonderful. She has proven to us that she can run the house now and not get into anything, so now she is running with Griffin. She is maturing so quickly.

Kane on the otherhand is doing wonderful as far as his health, but we found out he is the chewer of the family. Of course we feel horrible leaving him in the kennel while the other two get the run of the house, so we placed kongs, toys, and chewys all over the house, put sheets on the end tables and coffee table, and turn Animal Planet on when we leave. So far that has worked for him, so we hope the progress only gets better.


Cheeto got an allergy test done, we are still awaiting the results. Soon I have a feeling we will have to be totally changing his diet. His allergies are so bad he is making his skin bleed by pulling his hair out. And we just can't keep giving him steroid shots all the time to make the itching stop, its just not healthy.

Christmas was a bit of a let down, we had planned to go to Michigan snowmobiling and there is no snow to speak of. Since we had made all of our Christmas gatherings before Christmas, in hopes we would head up north, we had noone to spend Christmas with. But we had a funfilled day with the puppers.

New Years was nice, we had a cookout at our place and had some of our friends over, the dogs just behaved wonderfully, they picked their favorite person and stuck with them the whole night...lol Then Jan 2nd, back to work for us.

All in all everything is going wonderfully!!!
