It was a week ago today that I lost my sweet Boston Terrier, Bubba. It's been a cold day and last few days here. 54° right now at 5:08 p.m. We are having a Blackberry Winter.It's 10:35 p.m. now and 46° , that's very cool for May the 10th.

The Wednesday we had to leave Bubba at the vet for Treatment ( April 28, 2021 )Dr. Galbraith asked if I wanted to see him before we left, of course I did, we were in the back yard of his office, after he talked to us and the girl brought Bubba out, Bubba wanted me to take him so bad. The girl put him down and went all around the car trying to get in, the girl picked him back up and I was petting him and he took his paw and rubbed it on my hand as if to say take me, please, take me home. He did the same thing to David. I cried all day and the next day we went to get him I was so happy but that was short lived :(

I lost my sweet fur baby Bubba on may 3, 2021. He had congestive heart failure, heart murmur, enlarged heart and a mass in his spleen.Last Tuesday evening/night he went outside in the back yard to potty and when he came back in he didn'tgo to the kitchen for a treat like he always does, he headed toward the bathroom where he sleeps and stopped in front of the the front door. I knew something was wrong so I started walking over to him and he collapsed and couldn't get up.His legs and he were too weak, his feet kept sliding on the floor as he tried desperately to get up. I got a towel and put in front of him to help him get traction on the hard wood floors as he doesn't like to be picked up.He made it up a few minutes later and went out to the bathroom several times that night with no problem, while I was talking on the phone to my friend Sherry Conner.The next morning it happened again so we loaded him up and took him to Dr. Wyatt Galbraith in Pulaski, Tn. He kept Bubba and got the fluid off his lungs ( they had filled up with fluid) and we went and got him the next day. He did it falling again the next day, I carried him out the front door because he was not able to climb the back steps, we only have 3 steps in the front yard, he went out past the swing on the side and used the bathroom and on the way back he got almost the to steps and fell down, I grabbed him up and got him in the house.It took him 2 hours to get over that.Stacey came to visit him and us Friday. He was fine ( almost fine)again until about 2 am Saturday morning, I woke up and looked over at him and he was not asleep, just laying there with head up looking all around. I knew something was wrong, I got up and patted him on the head and turned on the kitchen light and stayed awake with him just watching him. He soon began getting up and walking to the bathroom to drink water, he was basically restless. I had put some water in the living room for him and he wouldn't drink it. I brought his water bowl from the bathroom because he seemed to only want the one he was used to drinking out of. He wouldn't drink it, he went to the bathroom looking for it so I took it back in there and drank some.He was so pitiful. We took him back to the vet that morning and I sat in back with him and loved on him and tried to let him rest his frot legs and upper body on me because he couldn't lay down because of lack of oxygen, his little legs were trembling from standing up and getting weak. I picked him up when we got there and carried him to the front door, they came out and got him and that was the last time I saw him alive :( I am so heartbroken and lonely for him.He was my baby.

Three new Fayzah Spanos beauties are on the way to me! I can't wait to get them. Two coming from Arkansas and one from Louisiana.

My love for Fayzah Spanos dolls has been rekindled and I have started collecting them again. It started when I saw one for sale on Fb Marketplace for 50.00 and then I was wanting more. Since then I've bought 5 more, all at good prices.Here's some I bought in the last 2 months.

I love these Vintage Turquoise Appliances!

Cute Boston Terrier Cookie Jar

I saw this cute Cookie jat at Hobby Lobby and I think I have to go back and get it!

I got these two Lee Middleton dolls on FB marketplace today for 100.00 for both! I think I might already have them but they are packed away if I do and I can give a set to my Grandaughters if I do still have them.

Snow on Feb. 6-7, 20

I got this vintage cabinet and my husband is painting it for me. He is painting it Nautical by Valspar.

I saw this one in an Antique store but it was not for sale so I finally found one to paint. I am going to leave the bottom doors on mine and also leave the glass in the top cabinet doors. This is the one in the store:

I love these Old Tin/metal picnic baskets and bought a few of them recently.

New Washer

My Washing machine stopped spinning the clothes about two and a half weeks ago and my husband has been working on it trying to repair it to no avail so today I went and bought a new one. I will get the matching dryer later.I sure hated to buy a new right now but you have to do what you have to do sometimes. I tried getting a used one off of FB market place to no avail...someone always beat me to the ones that were reasonably priced. So this is my new washer, it will be delivered Saturday.

Cool and 71° in Rockavle.

I am so excited! I got this Beautiful Madame Alexander " Kitten Kries" doll in the mail today. She is very rare and was only made one year ( 1967). I've only ever seen one on Ebay ( only ) a few years ago and you can't even find pictures of her online, that is how rare she is. I found one picture on Pinterest and you know if you can't find a picture on Pinterest you can find it anywhere, lol. It is in perfect condition, never played with and came with her original outfit and Paci, Box, certificate, and hangtag.

We went to the Beach at Destin, Florida for our 40th Wedding Anniversary and then on to the Mountains.Our trip was cut short when we got a call from the kennel keeping our Dog :(

Wow, I have not updated my Blog in a long time .I will try to do better this year ( maybe ) depending on time and how I feel.I always have a desire to keep up with things but life happens and gets in the way sometimes :) Sharing a pic of my favorite cartoon character Charlie Brown in the Snow which is also one of my favorite things :)

The last pic with the pretty blue sky was taken on Sunday 2 days after the Winter Storm.The sun came out yesterday and melted some of the snow and ice and made our steep 1/3 mile driveway a sheet of ice that is about an inch and a half thick .Now we have to park at the bottom of the drive and walk up.I have a 4 wheel drive suv but it slides down the ice on the last steep hill straight down .
