Poor Puglet Girl :(

So...a little after the hawk attack Phoebe leaped from one of the boys arms and broke the bone near her joint. She has a very expensive screw in her bone and there have been some complications with that. She doesn't seem to notice though. Crazy puggy girl of mine. :)


We have been spoiling her rotten. She hasn't been in the bandages the whole time, but we have had to keep her as calm as possible. NOT EASY!








Doesn't she look pathetic!?

Hawk Attack!

Before Christmas my little puglet puppy was almost carried away by a HAWK! Elijah was walking her outside, not on a leash, but in our fenced backyard. He turned for just a moment and the hawk took that moment to swoop down and attempt to take her for its meal. Eli was right there and heard the squealing. He thought the puppy was behind him because she always stays right by our feet. He thought the hawk was hurt. He stomped and screamed at it to see if that would scare it off. He thought the yelping was the hawk, maybe it was hurt. He startled the bird at just the right moment because it released its hold on the pups head and flew off. Elijah said its wings never folded up...he was ready for flight. The puppy fought back and with Elijah right there he didn't have a chance to carry it off. It was so close to the pups eye and almost took her eye! We rushed her to the vet where we were told that this happens ALOT. This is not a tale that has been passed down. One of the vet techs neighbors had their yorkie pup taken off by a hawk. Another one saw their pup taken and eaten by an owl. The bigger the dog is they will fly up and drop them to the ground to kill them and then rip them apart to take back to the nest. Conservationists can say whatever they want, but just the two vets we spoke to and friends and family members, shows that this is a regular thing with hawks.


I have heard so many accounts of it by now that I can't believe this isn't common knowledge. Always walk your pets on a leash, always. The vet also said that most "lost" pups that were let out to walk and you can't find them or find how they got out of a "safe" spot in the yard, chances are they could have been taken by a hawk. Please walk your little ones. If Eli had not been there she would be gone.


You can see how the pups head was in the hawks talons here.





This is the eye that was almost taken...just one more smidgen of that one talon.





Pass it on!

Look at What Daddy Had Hidden in his Coat Last Night!

Elijah had just finished his recent cake order and I was getting us all ready for a very late bedtime because of it. In walks Daddy with a wiggly something in his coat. We all went crazy with squeals! :)





Noey thinks the puppy is all his! He has this delight in his eyes that we just can't capture on camera yet. He is besides himself with puppy joy!











He loves her ears.








Hugging babies!








He keeps telling me to nurse the puppy...no joke. He will make the puppy sign and then the baa baa milkie sign. Isn't he sweet to want to share that with his new puppy?








Such a cuddle baby.





Lots of nose kisses.








They each tried to steal her from me multiple times.





Remy insisted he and the puppy were so sleepy and that they needed to be left alone.





Matthew was doing an ADT job and these pug/weenie mix pups where there. He said he had made it up in his mind that I needed one and that one little girl would be my new puppy since my Juliet doggie passed away this summer. I wasn't looking for a puppy because the boys each have a weenie doggie and my heart is so raw from the loss of Dewy (Juliet). I mean, I had that doggie since before I was married. So, here I begin a new chapter with my new girl. I think Dewy Doggie would approve. :)


Who can resist a smiling husband coming in from the cold with a warm puppy in his hands? Not me! So, she is here to stay. :) Now, what should I name her?
