Goodbye To Our Sweet Tiggy

For the last two weeks we have noticed many changes in our sweet puppy.  He started eating only every other day and then not at all for the last four days; he wouldn't even eat his Milk Bone biscuits, which he loves. He was throwing up many times during the day and night. He would sleep almost all day without even moving and hardly drank any water.  John took him to the Vet this morning (I was at the dentist) and he and the Vet decided it was time his life here with us is over.

Tiggy (or Mr. Tiggs to some) came to us Labor Day weekend 1998; he was only a year old. We adopted him from the SPCA.  We were told he would probably only live one year or so as he had a collapsed trachea.  He was always coughing to open it up so he could breathe.  

His big smile reminded us all of a Teddy Bear. He has been with us and a wonderful part of our family for 13 years - he was just a little over 14 years old.  Danny, Krista, Misha, Alan, Bekah, Roxie, Marcelle, Susan, and Sue, Carol (his groomer) all loved him.

We will all miss you so much, Tiggy.  Have fun chasing bunnies in Heaven. You will remain in our hearts, along with Daisy and Jenny, forever. We love you.

Wake Up!


It is close to 5:30 a.m. - about the usual time I am up.  Sometimes I am up a lot earlier.  John has already arrived at one of his part-time jobs about 15 minutes ago.  He will then go to his full-time job at 8am until 6:30pm.  A very long day - hopefully he won't have to do any part-time work on his way home; sometimes he does.  

So, wake up everyone!!

Just One More...


Okay.  I have really had enough.  Every single night for the past several weeks we have had a survey phone call. Most are regarding the upcoming election but there are others too.  It is almost like an alarm is set and at 8:20 the phone rings and there they are asking me a bunch of questions. They are only doing their job, I know, so I answer.  Will be happy when the election is over then there will be at least 75% less survey calls.

Have a great weekend!

Balloon Fiesta 2012

Tomorrow the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta begins.  There will be over 500 hot air balloons!  It is an amazing sight.  Above are 3 of many photos John has taken.  Nine days of 'Ascensions" (when they all go up within minutes of each other) and 'Glows" (when they are all on the ground at night and they are lit within - Gorgeous).
Have a wonderful weekend.
