No words...

No words can really tell how mom is feeling this week.  A kitty that she grew up with has gone to the rainbow bridge.  This here is Buddie.  She was 22 years old and lived a long and happy life.

She developed kidney disease late last year and took a turn for the worse this week.  Grandma & Grandpa made the hard decision to let her go but knew that it was the right thing to do for Buddie.  She will be buried next her sisters who had passed before her out in the flower garden and a flower planted above her in rememberance.

Mom says that Buddie got her name as a wee kitten because she would always start purring when anyone would get close to her.  Whenever mom & dad went for a visit, Buddie would be the first kitty to come say hello.  Mom got to see Buddie one last time a few weeks ago and had a feeling she wouldn't see Buddie again so she made sure to tell her how much she was loved. 

She was a very special kitty and will not be forgotten anytime soon...

March in the Pugs

OMD!!  We have been gone for sooooo long!!  We have missed all of our bloggy furiends!  Mom is on spring break this week so she promised to help us do a post. 

Ellie is almost all healed up from her spay and Nares surgery and she is doing just fine.

Not much has been going on around here.  We did get to go to March in the Pugs, a fundraising event for, Kentuckiana Pug Rescue!!

Warning.... Photo Heavy Post :)

We got to see so many of our furiends - The Pug Posse, Salinger, Lilo, Apollo, Pugsley & Lola, Murphie Jo, Hank and so many more!!  There were soooo many people & pugs there. 

Mom got this cool sweatshirt.

There was a costume contest...

Ellie got lots of attention

Look at all the pugs up for adoption.

There were some great raffle items - check it out, nearly three big tables full of stuff!!

There were some great vendors too...  Dr. Florence used to be our vet, but now she has her own practice for alternative therapies.

More vendors...

This is Wilson... he is just about a month older than Ellie, isn't he adorable!! (you can follow him and his mom on twitter @choicewithhope)

Of course, no post would be complete without a picture of me and Brutus :)

Oh, and here's another one of Ellie (Brutus looks like he is her bodyguard)

and me and mom... 

We have soooooo many more pictures to share, but don't have nearly enough room here.

We hope mom gets done with the school stuff soon so we can get back to our regularly scheduled blogging.  For now, just know that we miss everyone and have been trying to keep up with reading everyone's blogs.

Have a Great Week!!!
