Dougie's 8th Birthday.!

Today is my gorgeous American Cocker Spaniels birthday. Dougie is 8 years old today and is just the most sweetest, and loveliest boy in the whole wide world.

We adopted Dougie from the pound last year in June. He was abandoned twice, his first owner was a breeder for show dogs. Dougie was one of her dogs that she showed in the ring, but she passed away and had no family so Dougie ended up in the pound. He was adopted again by a couple who abused him and kicked him. He has a bad back leg from it and had extremely bad chest infection when we found him and adopted him. The pound thought Dougie would not last very long but a 15 months later and my little boy is doing beautifully.

I have to say that Dougie is definately the best dog I have ever had the pleasure of adopting. He is so obedient and loving. I take him to the Age Care Facility where my husband, ---- works all the time as he is so gentle and patient with the residents there, they love him and so do I.

Happy 8th birthday my darling little Dougiekins. Mummy loves you dearly sweetheart. Hope you enjoy your pressies.! xxooxxoxoxxo

Anniversary for my little Angel, Lucy...

Today would have been Lucy's 19th Birthday. Lucy was my very first dog, and she was a Toy Poodle. Its been 7 years since Lucy went to Rainbow Bridge and I still miss her dearly.

She was a very special little girl, who went through so much health problems in her life and always gave so much love to us all.

Lucy, our little Angel Girl. We love you honey. You were the bestest little love that came into our lives. You touched our hearts with your happy loving nature. You are greatly missed, lovey but never forgotten.

A Stitching Finish

Finally finished this gorgeous Rose Heart. The pattern is from a DMC booklet, that my darling friend Maru from Mexico, gave to me as a present.

My gorgeous Husband Mark, kept pestering me to stitch this heart from the booklet, so I did. I also call it Maru's Heart of Roses.! lol

The fabric doesnt show very well but it is a gray/blue very pretty in real.

Have joined up on the Sanman Board for a Halloween/Fall Exchange. Am so very excited as I havent been in an exchange for a long while.!

Took the doggies to the park today, and due to all the rain we've been having here in Frankston, the park was very muddy. The dogs loved it especially Sheba and played in the puddles, covering herself in a mud pack lol. Dogs gotta love them. Needless to say Mark and I were busy giving 4x very muddy doggies some much needed baths.!

Hugs to all, Susi xoxo

A lovely day and my Pumpkin.!

This morning was gorgeous. The sun was shining its hello upon us, reminding us that Spring will soon be on its way. The doggies were enjoying being able to run in the garden with the sun. Pumpkin our Long Haired Chiahuahua, was particularly enjoying the sun. I love the little smile on his face. lol





The Camellia's are all starting to drop to the ground now from all this heavy wind and rain we've been having. Dont know what kind those dark pink ones are but they are the biggest Camellia's I've ever seen.! Some of them are 8" in diameter.!


Hugs to you, Susi xoxox

Rain, Stitching and pretty Camelias

I am so excited to be on Blogger again. Since it has been such a long time since I've blogged I've forgotten how to change my backgrounds, but I know with trial and error I'll get use to it again. lol.

On the stitching front, I have been busy going through all my patterns to sort out which designs I would like to stitch on next. I am in a very Autumn Fall mood today even though we are still in Winter. It has been raining all day here in Frankston, with strong winds. Some people would think its a dreary day but I am absolutely loving it..! Its a perfect day for sitting by the fireplace and stitching something fun.

Something fun to stitch has to be a pattern from Sanman Originals. Sandy's designs are always so cute and enjoyable to stitch. Also they give you a hugh option to try out your own color changes and floss experimentations. Have been going through all her Autumn and Halloween designs and putting up a pile to start stitching on.

Shall end my first post with a pretty photo of the pink camellia tree that stands right outside our front door. I love Camellia's and luckily the house my Husband, Mark and I live in has 4x of them. Three in the backyard and this one here.

See you soon,

Huggies,

Susi
