NEW ADDITION TO THE FAMILY

My mom and her husband Ben, finally got themselves a little dog to dote over. Her name is Sophie. She is what u call a Teacup Maltese. She is about 2lbs now but shouldn't get over 3 lbs in all. She is mostly a fluff ball mom says...she is tiny under all that fur.
My own two dogs, sent Sophie a nice little card welcoming Sophie into the family along with a very cute but tiny black collar with a sparkling rhinestone in the middle of a little bow.
Here are a cpl pics of Sophie...although under those I had to remind u all how cute my own dogs are lol.

Don't u just want to cuddler your nose in her fur??

Here are a few of my little cuteys...in the little house we got a few months back. We were sure the little Clochette would go in it more often then the bigger Shinoo, because she barely fits, but the opposite is true ...Shinoo is the one to curl up in there and only now because she does, the little one figures it must be a good thing so wants to go in now herself...but usually when Shinoo is in there lol,



Both are really bushy right now with it being winter. I let their fur grow as it's so cold outside. Come spring they will have a salon day and get all prettied up lol. But I do love the bushy look...they keep me warmer that way lol.

This last photo, is one of my favorites. It was taken last fall, less bushy lol. But this basically shows where they are usually sitting. The black thing u see there is my knee. They jump up and find their place sitting against my leg and the arm of the chair. Sometimes Clochette is ontop of Shinoo or like this time, Shinoo has her head resting on Clochette...ahhh its bliss when on mommy.

If I had an idian name it would be '' WHERE SLEEPING DOGS LYE''

YESTERDAY WAS.......

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY

SO to all the women out there, I hope you gave a thought to yourselves and the women around you. If not, do so today...the women of today and yesterday are united in the continued effort to make the world a better place, whether it be on a global scale or a small moment in any given day in ones life...it all counts.

I was surprised today by my husband who arrived from work with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Shown above. Why?...Because he felt I should be celebrated..on this day. He is one of the few men I know who even knows what INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY is lol.

Yes, I am a very lucky Woman.

HERE I AM

Here I am as promised. Took this photo yesterday on my birthday..wearing the Pashmina my sister got me from China. Isn't it pretty?...Now for the other photo's...I look like I was posing for mug shots but frankly, it's not easy to smile when u are getting full body shots of yourself lol...I didn't want to smile for the face pics either , because I have chipmunk cheeks lol...I want to be able to tell with time if my face gets thinner.


Now once I saw these photo's side by side...I know where I have lost weight but it's not very discernable to look at them honestly. Yesterday when I took the second set, I was down ,just shy of 24lbs...but today I have lost 26.5lbs...go figure..So although u can't see a huge difference..I am glad I will have this photo record to look back on anyway. I purposely put the same clothes on for both sets.

Basically yes I have lost 25lbs in these photos but at my size, the best anology to use is, it's like LOOSING A DECK CHAIR ON THE QUEEN MARY!! lmao
