I can't even title my post! Not that I am witty with my titles, but it's just one of those weeks. Tough. Tough beyond imagination. Monday we found out our dear doggie has bone cancer. My husband cried. I cried. The kids...well let's just say it was worse than I thought. Jasmine is 11 1/2. She has been a joy and a blessing. And right now she feels good, so she is home and comfortable and getting spoiled. I can't believe how an animal can affect you SO deeply. Monday thru Wednesday I just didn't know how I would manage to get through the days. It seems like she has gotten more playful and animated and is telling us "come on! enjoy each day!"
Jasmine always loves Christmas morning!
Well, I'm going to go on here. I need to. So let me show you some happenings in my living room. I can't show it all, because, sadly enough, my tree isn't down yet! LOL! But I bought a couple of new end tables from a local little store. I will show them in better detail after they move to their proper places. (When the tree is down!) But for now, I will show you the new lamps I received from Grandma for Christmas. If you visit Nancy Jo's blog, you will see that our lampshades look similar. "Leather Look", they're called. I also picked up the table mat yesterday at a cute shop in the mall. Not a mall person my self, but I have a teenage daughter who is and we took two of her friends. Good medicine.

Tuesday, I needed a little pick me up. I turned to my dear friend Kay for some of her divine homemade soaps and lotion bars. I absolutely love them! I was so happy to receive them in the mail yesterday when we got home! Visit Kay @http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=16118
I remember telling Kay the first time I bought some of her soap, that it was just too pretty to use! She said use it!! That's what it's for! Let me tell you, it is heavenly!
Lastly, let me show you a couple of cuties! Cutie Cutters, I guess you could say! The moose are coming home! The mamma moose is from Marybeth, and baby moose is from Sue at Country Treasures! Thanks girls!
Well, I will leave ya now. That tree really should come down today....

Well, on a funny note, our tree just came down. I finally realized that I needed the corner where it was to stack boxes, so I began with all of the Christmas stuff. Of course then I realized that I had forgotten to pack up the kitchen garlands (3 of them). Well, I guess they'll move to VA in their own box.

Pets are such a part of the family and I hurt for you. It was tough when we lost our dog suddenly several years ago.

Yes, I do wish we could just sit and share over tea. Know that you are in my prayers and I love you.

No words can help. Wish I could give you a gentle hug though.

It is true, words just become words when trying to comfort someone but they all are well meant. Spoil that ole pup some more!
I'm here to listen if you need to talk. MB

Oh, Bonnie,

I can emphatize with you about your Jasmine. I had a beloved Rottie for almost ten years, Ozzie, and he had bone cancer. He went to doggie heaven this past summer. I still get teary eyed when I think about him. He was my very good boy. Jasmine is a beautiful girl!

Your lamp is very pretty. And I love your cute table cover.

Take good care, and have a wonderful week.

Renie

I am so sorry about Jasmine. I hope you can fully enjoy this last time you have with her. I love dogs soo soooo much and I know everytime I get a new pup that someday I will have to let them go, and it breaks my heart. But I can't stop!
