We did.. It's really weird!:P We wound up on the other side of town after all.. Sigh. But I was wanting to take Ziggy down to the waterfront by the mall, which would be fun if you think you could go for that:P 

Alison, thank you for thinking of us. We are doing much better. Thinking of getting a pem puppy as soon as we can. Still thinking of Tod...missing him....remembering his lovable personality:)

Well, we haven't left yet-most of the places we are going to check out are drop in only, plus we have decided to wait until tomorrow since it's payday and we haven't ever house shopped before and don't know if we need the app fee money up front so we are just going to make sure that we have it just in case and then go.

That's sooo cute that he tried to keep up with your husband:) I wanted to train my Corgi to do that-I still want to, but I don't know if Ziggy will do that (I thought that I was going to have a puppy and puppy energy to work with-of course, around like five months.. Not a puppy puppy.. That'd be crazy! Though, I was going to have my Corgi puppy bike with me still-in a bike basket xD)

Hi Allison!!  It is great to hear from you! :)  Lance and  Tucker are doing well.  Lance is starting to initiate play more with Tucker rather than the other way around.  Usually when Lance initiates play Tucker acts like he doesn't want to play but then plays.  I have taken some video but just haven't posted them.  Lance had a vet appointment about two weeks ago and dropped his predisone down to 1/'4 every other day but upped another one of his meds and is still on one other med.   The predisone is the one the vet is more concerned with over time.  It would really be nice if we could get lance off of the predisone.  Thinking about getting Tuckers teeth cleaned, we got the estimate in the mail, the other day, but the discount is only good til the end of February, I believe, boo.  I just read an article today that said you should have your pet up to date on vaccinations before they get anesthia because other wise it could affect their immune system!!!  I read the article quickly so I probably should reread it, to make sure I understand it fully, but wow, what a great time to come across the article, since Tucker actually is due for his dhlpp vaccinations!  It is almost a full year since we have had Tucker (March 6th)!!!  There was another pure breed corgi at the same shelter we got Tucker at, and he got adopted this Sunday :), no, not by us either, lol.  My daughter volunteers at the shelter and she said before her shift, Mom, I want you to meet Cooper if he doesnt get adopted today, and viola, he was, so she needs to keep saying that to me for all the doggies there.  

How are you and Noodles doing? 

Oh okay that's cool, we have two places in particular in mind that aren't too far so let's hope that Noodles and Ziggy hit it off!:)

I know Ziggy won't jog (tried everything to get him to, even cheese squares) so maybe that wouldn't be the best time????

43 pounds yowza! Almost as big as Ziggy was.... It almost makes me wonder if it's the other Corgi from Ziggy's owner-if Ziggy had been dieting correctly along with exercising, he would probably still be about that size, which would still have been a big improvement.. (I don't know for sure if the other one was given away, but there was another one, and since they were both given away not too long ago-the other before Ziggy if so,-then maybe they are the same! Ziggy was originally given up a few months back, when his owner moved.. Did they say where they got him? Oh that would be kinda cool, and I would go there more frequently in hopes of running into them:D Ziggy's name used to be Timmy lol.. "Tubby Tim" is what they called him.. Poor guy.)

Thank you!  I love the picture of your corgi...those eyes will melt your heart!

Lance and Tucker aren't big fan of wet grass either, yet they love to step in the snow, lol, silly dogs!!  Oh and forget puddles and slush, ick.  Love the pic of Noodles you posted on my page.

What do you mean IF you remember...lol, it would be great to have pics of Noodle in the snow!!  Have the camera in your coat pocket waiting for it to take a pic.  :)  It is currently snowing here now, we just had the six inches melt yesterday, I guess we can't go too long without snow in the chicago area.  :)

I am just a bit obssessed when it comes to pictures and videos, doesn't make you a bad mom! :)

Thanks, Alison. I appreciate that.

Alison, thanks for asking...I am afraid the news is not good...His health has been quickly declining...Hasn't eaten anything yesterday and today....today I noticed he vomited blood a few times...His eyes are alert though....When I look at him he looks back at me like the 'old Tod', yet when he goes out I can't stand to watch him in pain...I have to clean him up and carry him back home...he rests for a couple of hours and then asks to be taken outside again....

It was quite around here new years and Christmas Noodles. Please move alittle closer.

i agree, i believe he led them to us because he wanted nothing more than to make us happy. i believe she will be too as she follows him around everywhere but like u said theres nothing wrong with that :)

:') they sure have. the house now has a new "light" about it and she has been making me and my husband so happy. shes so sweet and cuddly that i reminds me so much of teddy. its hasnt replaced him but she has made us so happy again. i know teddy is pleased with her presence and im sure he would love the puppy. the pup is pretty crazy but all pups are lol

Thanks for the welcome Alison. Noodles is adorable. Sounds like he's pretty spoiled :-) Hard not to spoil them. That peanut butter cake sounds delicious!  I wish my dogs were afraid of the vacuum like Noodles is. They follow me around with it. Makes it hard to get my work done. Oh well, at least they're having fun.

thank you so much. im so sorry it took this long to get back with u but as u know i went up to Mi to see my family and there wasnt much time to get on the site lol we did share lots of memories of teddy as my family misses him to. i hope u had a wonderful Christmas as well:)

lots of hugs to Noodles!

The boys had a great Christmas, was so funny to watch Tucker, he loved helping my daughter open her gifts!!!  Hmm, didn't need to get him his own gifts afterall...lol.  jk  They loved their loofa minnie and mickey, at one point I think Tucker waned to steal Minnie, but I wouldn't let him.  I did pick up another Minnie but didn't give it to him, have it just in case he really likes minnie better. Lance was pretty laid back this Christmas, mostly laying down taking it all in.  It was cute though, Lance opened up one of my husbands gifts, it was so funny to watch him unwrap it. I uploaded 300 pics not too long ago, oyy.  I will eventually add some photos here, and I took some cute videos I will have to upload as well, have to see which ones to upload.  I still am catching up on sleep as I went to bed at 6am christmas morning and got up by 9 am..yikes!!  At least the girls and I were able to go to midnight mass and see the live nativity! 

Thanks for the video and Merry Christmas to all of you. What a good looking boy. Dino got a $100.00 certificate from the animal hospital.
