NEWSFLASH!


Yesterday hubby turned Gracie over to show me her belly.  "Ringworm!" he said.  "What next?"  

"She's had that before," I said.  "I think it's just because she was cut so close at the groomers."  Ginny had to shave her because she'd become matted and a real mess. We had to wait so long and I had snipped at her in the middle of her being sick.  
Today her belly is clear.  She's finally getting back to her old self again.  
Every night, around 7 PM she bounces out of her chair and stares us down until we leash 
her for our nightly walk.

"Gracie, look out!" I screamed as I yanked her away from the ants that she was walking through.

Gracie has been very clingy lately.  


Today it was burgers and hotdogs on the grill.  Rissie performed her 'God bless America' from her dance recital.  It was too cute!  Just when I think she can't get any cuter... she does.  AND>  Speaking of cuteness...

NEWSFLASH! 


This is Lindsey, Rissie's Mama.  We got the news a few days ago.  Rissie is going to have a baby brother or sister in December!  So we will be grandparents again!  


Can anybody tell me what tree is?  It has the sweetest smell and we pass by every evening during our walk.  Is it magnolia? or what?


Hope everyone had a great memorial day.

  1. It sure looks like a Magnolia.
    Hooray - - another baby for you to love!
    Gracie and clingy - - - guess it makes sense with what she's been through. Tell her she's healthy and clean so life is on the upswing again.

  2. Poor Gracie, she's been through the wringer lately. :(
    Jill whines and sits looking at me as if her back teeth are floating - she still has to go out a lot, and she's almost two.
    Another baby, you will have to baby proof the house again.
    Ants are everywhere!
    Yep, that's a magnolia. Our neighbor has two huge ones and the leaves are always in our yard - the blossoms smell really good!

  6. Congrats on the wonderful news of the baby.... I know y'all are just over the moon, and I am thrilled for y'all!

    That is def. some kind of Magnolia... kind of looks like a "Little Gem" dwarf Magnolia to me. Would have to see it up close. We have a HUGE ol regular Magnolia across the street from us, and we also have them in our Church yard..... they do smell good!

    And poor Gracie, no wonder she is clinging to Mommy! She's had a "Ruff" time of it lately...
    (sorry, couldn't resist, Smiles)
    Hugs!

  12. A new grandbaby! Just think of all the cute-ness that will be abounding when there's 2. I think Gracie has good reason to be so clingy right now. Poor baby! She's been through a lot.

  17. Yes it looks like a Magnolia.....usually can tell by the sparseness of the green leaves while it is blooming.
    Grandparents again soon.......yeah!
    I have found that when animals get a older they want to be as close as possible to us.
