Update 7/12/2011

Hi Wonderful Friends,

First of all, I just want to thank you for all of your kind words of encouragement, all of your advice, and all of your concern lately.  I have been overwhelmed by how many people have responded to the problem with my dogs!  I want to let you all know that it's been so difficult, but my husband and I decided (at this time) we just can't get rid of the dogs.  We may have a home for my piggy, where he will be happy, safe, and have tons of room to run around and get lots of love and attention that he needs and deserves.  I am sad, but I want him in a safe place and this just isn't it.

The dogs actually got into another bad fight today and once again drew blood on each other.  So Lexi is going to the vet tomorrow to get spayed and in the meantime, I have 2 trainers coming out for consultations.  It still may not turn out how I hope, but I have to try.  After breaking up their fights twice now, I have no fear for my personal safety, only for the safety of them and other animals.  They would not hurt a person.  I have realized that now.  I can't wait to get a good trainer and start the process.  I will keep you updated.

Onto crafting... I have some exciting news coming up (top secret at the moment) ;0) and some fun projects coming up and also blog hops that I'm participating in for my various design teams.  It's going to be a very fun, crafty summer.  I feel like summer has just started here in Colorado.  We had a really weird year of weather.  We had weeks where one day was 90 degrees and the next was 60!  I'm glad it's finally evened out and I have been getting some much needed sun.  Went to the lake this past weekend and it was wonderful to just hang out on the beach with some friends and relax in the nice warm sun.  Most of you are probably thinking, big deal!, but for me it was.  I hardly ever get out of the house, due to my illness, so this was my first summer outing since last year!  I literally stay indoors like 6 days out of the week!  I've also been able to start exercising a little bit, which is a HUGE improvement for me.  It feels great!

Well, I ran out of steam (and thoughts) writing this so that's all for now, but really, thank you all so much.  I'm so glad to have you all here, following along with me in my little corner of the world.

Have a great night.  Wishing you all good dreams, peaceful rest, and nice cool sheets. :0)
