I cannot believe it has been 2 years already!!

Yes, it's her birthday today.

She was just a tiny little puppy, about the size of her head now... LOL.

She had brought such joy to our family,  brought youth and quality of life back for Butter.

My area of interest has been expanded, and gain other enjoyment related to her.

Met many many great people through her, literally and virtually ( Of course all of my friends from DK )

It is amazing that…

I just came back from U.S.Department of Homeland Security.

Today was my day to take a citizenship test!! I studied and listen to the CD of possible 100 questions in regard to US History, civic, geography, etc... I was pretty confident, but you know, was a bit nervous... You never know. The officer said that there are reading and writting portion to the test as well... What?! I didn't read that! I had no idea that I was going to be tested for that, too!! :-(

So, he tells me that…

Charlie had her very first Rally trial today. I am very humble and proud of how she did. You know, I started this Rally classes, because of her fear, anxiety and aggressive behavior. All I wanted was for her to build some self- confidence, so that she does not have to act like a maniac. Before we got there, my main concern for her was other dogs and new people, new place, etc..., and her fear & anxiety. So, the first round was pretty messed up. She just could not focus on me, looked…

Today I called Petsmart grooming salon to make an appointment for Charlie for her hair cut. Charlie has been going there ever since her first hair cut, and her groomer has been wonderful with her. She always call to let me know if she have to be cut shorter, or gives her a break if it gets too much for her... She always cut Charlie's hair the way I ask her to, and knew how I like it. Charlie is a reactive girl, but LOVES her groomer, and she loved Charlie. Even when we were just shopping…

We had a beautiful weather today!!

Late this morning, I stopped at the park to eat my apple in the beautiful weather before heading to work. (By myself, without Charlie.) There, it was this little Scottish Terrier, well groomed with collar and tags were running at large. I thought he must got away from the owner, and the owner would be soon running after to catch him. I called it to come to me, and it did. So, I foolishly reached down to him, thinking I am going to be a good…

Someone posted this on the facebook. So cute and funny!!

At the end of the last summer,we took a short trip to Ohiopyle state park with Charlie and Butter - our old Chow Chow - now 15 1/2 years old. I did not think he would make it back there this year again, but there he was!! He even went in the water this year...

I love you Butter. Stick around for few more years, please?

Lately, Charlie looked like she was getting wider and her neck looked as it was thicker. May be because of all of the snow and lack of exercises, she had picked up few pounds.She and I really need to start walking miles to shed those pounds!!

Well, I picked her up from groomer's this afternoon, and Voila!! She was as skinny as she can be!! Underneath all that fur, she was still a skinny little…

* Good Girl -- AM

I took my son to the school bus stop this morning. When I returned home, I saw Butter sitting in my front yard! My son must have not closed the front door completely, now the door was pretty much wide open.:-(

Even though we have fenced in yard, he could have also half way closed the gate as well. Not a good situation. Butter came right to me, and I got to be wondering where is Charlie?! She is not in the yard!!

As I escorted Butter toward the front…

Yes. They are really good, and my son loves them. But this is a story about how we spent 2 days sick and nervous over the Fiery Grilled Chicken!! My son (15) decided to clean the kitchen inside and out, because he was bored after so may snow days off from school, and also in hope of allowance increase by attempting to show off his cleaning skills ( hahaha )and surprising me when I got home. There were a box of Fiery Chicken Wings bones he…
