Foster pup #2 {Jake} Status; Adopted

This little guys came to us from another of Sherrif's rescue FABULOUS Foster mama's
his energy and personality didn't fit in well with their busy household so she had to make the decision to send him to another foster... How lucky am I that I ended up with him?!? I am in TOTAL love /swoon.



We had Jake for 3 days and two nights before he was adopted by my Lovely Stepmomma, Carrie :)

Jake was totally great with kids and had a great (though very high) Energy about him. I had my little brother, Caleb over to do some Observations on him for homework (Early Childhood Education... You know ...) and Jake GLOM'd Himself right onto him. When my Older-little brother, Nicholas, came to pick Caleb up, Jake Greeted him excitedly... I told Nicolas that he was up for adoption and to tell his Momma.
I got a phone call THAT NIGHT.  ... Jake had made quite an impression on both the boys and Carrie said she wanted to meet him.


When she came to meet him, she said "I want him" within 5 min.s of seeing him. ... I knew she would

I went to visit Jake (Now named Johnny) today, and he is doing great ... his big sister Twofie (pictured above) is tolerating him alot better than originally and he loves getting snuggled. They are working with him as he still gets 'nippy' when very excited and jumps up on the back of people's legs when greeting them 9in excitement, not lust)

We're goin' Through Changes...

BLOG CHANGES; 

Scrappy Sunday's ; I have decided to Cancel 'Artsy Fartsy Thursday',..it is too broad and frankly, unrealistic, as I much prefer to take on larger-scale projects, and complete them in my own time.  We will instead be featuring 'Scrappy Sunday' I have been meaning to return to scrap-booking (Which I LOVE to do, and find it to be an important way to document my families important memories)  ..I think if I commit to getting AT LEAST one done /week I should be caught up before long (I haven't done ANY pages since I was 5 months pregnant)

- HOW DO YOU FIND TIME FOR YOUR HOBBIES? - 

Blog Hop; You may have noticed, we are no longer hosting a blog hop, our inlinkz trial ran out, and because my blog is fairly new, and my coding skills lacking, I am not willing (yet, anyways) to pay for the service....Not to mention, It's surprisingly ALOT of work!  Thanks all who linked up in the past,... this will probably be something we explore again in the future, but at this time, its just not working.

- WHERE DO YOU LINK UP (BLOG/GIVEAWAYS/FB/TWITTER ETC.)?  - 

 Review/Giveaway ;  To better serve our Review& Giveaway Sponsors, We have decided to limitour Review & Giveaway spaces to 2/month (excluding events ie; Blog hops and
giveaway only posts) Also we will be starting all of the review and giveaways from this day on, on Saturday Midnight (So 12;01 Sunday morning) And Ending 2 weeks later on Sunday midnight (12;01 Monday Morning) in an effort to make Mondays more enjoyable for our winners :)

Personal Changes; 

Milk Donations; Since My Last post on the subject, we had 'raised' 52 ounces... THEN my pump broke. For those looking into buying a pump - I DO NOT suggest 'the first years' brand... My motor burned out not once, but TWICE! the first time, I phoned in and they sent me a new motor and some random extra parts - no questions asked, easy peasy ... the second time, I didn't bother. Needless to say, We were forced  to use some of my stored milk, all the while hand-expressing to try to keep my supply up. We got down to 25(ish) ounces before I got a new pump (A WONDERFUL Medela Pump in style DOUBLE electric - Love Love Love it!! ) I also bought a box of Earth Mother Milk Maid Tea. We shall see where I get with that. I am still Desperatly trying to get enough milk to donate - I figured with Baby K starting on Cereal and Fingerfoods, she'd have more milk to spare, but so far, that doesn't seem to be the case. /Sigh.

- HAVE YOU EVER USED A FENUGREEK BASED TEA? - HOW DID YOU SWEETEN IT ? -

Appleton; For those of you who may not be familiar with Appleton (Now Named Dexter) is a rescued Chihuahua from LA who I have been fostering for Sheriff's Rescue (Abbotsford, BC) he has Found his forever home. It is such a bittersweet feeling. I miss him. It seems so lonely in my house, and I wonder frequently if he thinks about me. His new mommy Sends me Text messages and updates on how he is doing, and all seems to be going well. (In fact, much better than I had expected) I am so proud of him ...even just writing this brings happy tears to my eyes!
