chillin' lizy

I think someone had a good weekend! I feel like doing this on a daily basis, around 3pm Monday's to Friday's! It's hard to believe that I was scared of dogs until about 6 years ago. She is one happy puppy who is growing fast. I read somewhere that home renovations are stressful for dogs (as well as their owners no doubt!), I wonder if this is true?

be thankful for what you got

I have had a strange couple of weeks and it has often impacted me in terms of what to write on my blog, and wondering whether I should post anything at all. I have people close to me going through hard times. Put simply, I have had two funerals in two weeks. It certainly puts things into perspective and makes you appreciate what you have in life. And often makes me feel silly for sweating the small stuff. I have some good news I want to share with you all but it doesn't feel right at the moment so I'll have to wait.

That said, there are so many things I'm appreciative of but one I have a cute photo to accompany is .. Lizzy's first bath in our drinks-tub-cum-laundry-basket! (And my, hasn't she grown since I first introduced her here!). Every day I get home from work she greets me like I'm the best thing in her world. And for that, I'm thankful xxx

Lizzy on Bentwood on 'Desire to Inspire'

My girl Lizzy is a star already - she featured on Desire to Inspire's weekly pets on furniture post! Here she is...on my Bentwood chair which I picked up for $20 (it's the chair in my profile pic). It needs a lot of TLC, and so does Lizzy.

(Ahem, I promise this blog won't all be about Lizzy but then again...that's not such a bad thing!).

Dizzy Lizzy

Say hello to Lizzy - the newest and third member of our family! We got her on Wednesday night. It was all such a whirlwind. We have been looking for a Labrador x Kelpie puppy for a while now. L's wishlist was a black and tan female and on Wednesday afternoon I saw a female Lab x Kelpie advertised in the local paper. 3 and half hours later we went to 'view' her (which consisted of falling in love with her in about 2 seconds flat!) and took her home 5 minutes later. And she was free, can you believe it? We were so smitten that we forgot to ask all the important questions like when she was born and if she had any health issues. She is black and has white/grey on her tummy, her chin and on her paws (we like to call them her socks). Look at her socks/paws, they're quite big for a puppy!

She's already got a couple of nicknames - Dizzy Lizzy, Licky Lizzy and Lazy Lizzy.
Isn't she the cutest thing?!
