Currently {Willow}

Hi Peachies! Welcome back to my blog sweet blog. Today's post is extra special because it's all about our sweet Willow pup.

How can you resist that face? We have a hard time. She's our sweet and wild, crazy girl.

She stole my heart on Facebook when our local pet store posted a picture of a puppy they had rescued and needed a home.
It just happened that this was days before my birthday and Valentine's Day!
My mom had no idea I was buttering my hubby up to get her when she went in the store to buy dog food for her dogs and came out fostering this sweet little scared pup.

Everyday after school my son and I go by my mom and dad's house so we saw her that day and took lots of pics to show my hubby.
Later that night I casually brought up the puppy I shared on Facebook and how mom was fostering her now.
I asked if we could have her?
His response was, i'll think about it.

So Tuesday we were at my mom and dad's house after school again but this time,
when we got ready to leave, my car wouldn't start.
My hubby had to come over after work to help my dad work on my car.
That's when he fell in love with her, too but it still took some convincing to let us have her.
When we were laying in bed that night I asked what he thought of her.
He said "she's cute" so again, I asked-can we have her?
"I'll think about it" was his response again.
But the next morning he called from work and said "I've thought about it.
You can have her. Happy Birthday."
And she came home with us that night and lives happily ever after.

It's been a while since I did Willow's Currently so it's time to catch up with her.

Currently Willow


Name: Willow

Nicknames: Wild Child, Little Miss

Age: 4 months

Weight: 35 lbs

Breed: Mastiff/ German Shepard Mix

Highlights: Running free with the other dogs at Mimi & Pa's house this week.
My parents live in the woods and have 4 other dogs right now and Willow was the only one who had to be leashed until this week.
We've all been spending a lot of time outside this week and letting her run free.
She stays in the yard with everyone else!

And she tells on herself if she gets into something she's not supposed to have by barking at it.

Lows: She ate a ThermaCare wrap out of the trash can a couple weeks ago. We had no idea what to do so we called our vet and he said "In all my years i've never had this happen."
That's not a good sign but between he, my husband & I we figured it out.
Let's just say it wasn't pretty but it saved us a trip to the emergency vet.

We also learned that puppies with short hair around 4 months old often get mites. Guess what she has? Mites! They're not contagious and you can't see them. In fact, the vet must know me well or saw my face of sheer terror when he said that because he said "you don't have to throw away bedding." Good thing since she sleeps in our bed. She was so itchy and her fur was missing in some places. Now that she's on antibiotics and a gel medicine she's getting so much better.

Loves: Being outside, rough housing with her Dad, sleeping, watching tv and running free.

Dislikes: Taking medicine, essential oils & the Swiffer.

Favorite Toy: She still loves her stuffless owl. He's been in surgery several times now.

Favorite Treats: Bull horns, lamb bones, bully sticks and deer antlers.

Best Friend: Drago; my mom's 1 year old German Shepard and Lola, the German Shepard puppy my mom and dad are taking care of for a little bit.

Hi Peachies! Welcome back to my little peachy corner of the internet. I hope today is treating you all super incredible!

I'm here to talk about one of my favorite living beings on the planet today.
My sweet (but totally wild) Willow.

Right now she's sitting at the back door looking out at the squirrels and enjoying the sunshine. Totally different than 5 minutes ago when she was pottying on my brand new rug then running around like a cat on a sugar high. Most days I feel like i've been hit by a small hurricane by the time my hubby gets home. My Mom says it's just practice for another baby. No matter what, I still love this wild girl.

Seriously, no one and nothing is safe when this happens.

This one goes to the dogs...

Hi y'all! We're Bella, Minnie Mouse, and Drago. We heard our Sissy is doing a meet the canines link up so we jumped at the chance to take over. We call her our Sissy because our situation is different than most. We're one big blended family. We'll explain that in a minute. First you have to see our adorableness!



Okay, okay. That's not our best side. We don't like to cooperate for pictures together unless our Sissy begs us with treats.



Then we're all smiles.

So we call Leslie our Sissy because, like we said, we're one big blended family. To two of us she's our human sister, the other she's our Mom or Grandma. Sissy got engaged and she and our boy, Dylan moved out but don't worry! We live with Mimi and Pa (or Mom and Dad) in house with a nice big yard we get to run free in. At Sissy, Alex and Dylan's house we have to be on leashes when we visit. We don't like that and they don't like it for us so we live here and get to have spend the night parties at their house. They spoil us. We have our own blankets, toys, and cookie jar at their house. Sissy drives a convertible, too so sometimes we get to ride with the top down! We love that! Some days she takes us to pick our boy up from school, too! We really have the best of both worlds. We have two homes full of lots of love.

I, Bella, belong to Dylan-Leslie's Son.


Nicknames: Bella Girl, Smella Bella, Beautiful, Bells
Jessica Simpson because i'm pretty but not always smart.

Santa brought me to him about 8 years ago. I got my name because Mimi named me Bella then Pa said Holly for the middle name since it was Christmas time, like the song "Deck the halls with Bella Holly."
My boy was only 4 so he couldn't take care of me all by himself, so Leslie is technically my Mom, too but Dylan says she's my Grandma. We don't argue.

I'm a full blooded Golden Retriever. Everyone always says how pretty I am until I roll on something dead and stinky. I like doing that a lot. I really like spa day. I love having my hair dried and pretty smelling perfume sprayed on me. I also like bows and clothes and costumes. I love attention. I make everyone pet me and if they stop then I put my head under their hand and make them start again. I talk, a lot and always bring gifts to anyone who comes over. Those gifts range from dead creatures, sticks, pine cones & stuffed animals. It really depends on what I can pick up first, after all, a Southern Lady never shows up without a gift, right? I love socks and dish rags best of all.

My Grandma Linda says I have the most soulful eyes. I'm not sure what that means but I think it means I get my way most of the time. I'm the Diva of the group but after having 20 kids I think I deserve that! A few years ago I slipped out and found a Rottweiler boyfriend in the neighborhood and had babies. I didn't learn from the first time and slipped out and had more babies before my Mimi had me fixed. It's kinda good that I did that though because if I didn't we wouldn't have Minnie Mouse.

Hi, I'm Minnie Mouse.


Nicknames: Mouse, Mousey Girl, Minnie, Crazy Horse

I belong to Mom and Dad, or my boy calls them, Mimi and Pa.
I am Bella's girl. I was the runt of the last litter of puppies, that's how I got my name. Mom said I was so tiny that they used to cut the ends out of socks and make me sweaters to wear b/c I was always cold. Dad would come in from work and pick me up and snuggle me while watching t.v. even though he said I couldn't stay at first.

I'm part Golden Retriever and Rottweiler. I'm scared of strangers but I love my family. I talk even more than my mom but everyone thinks it's soo funny! I love stuffed animals, especially my unicorn. I also love to chase the squirrels. I think it's great in the summer time when Dad fills up all the bird and squirrel feeders because they're everywhere! I'll stand at the door with Dad and watch the squirrels then he says "Ready, Minnie? Go get 'em" then he opens the door and I run like a crazy horse at the squirrels. I've never caught one but I just know one day I will!

I love spending the night with my Sissy, Alex, and Dylan so much that sometimes, when they're getting ready to leave Mom and Dad's I sit by the back door and wait, when they open it I run to the car and won't stop until I get to go. I don't like taking baths so I don't get dirty. I don't like dressing up either but sometimes I do just to amuse the humans. They're silly like that. I'm easy going except when Mom and Dad brought the puppy home. Sissy was so worried about me because I wouldn't eat or anything that she made me stay with her for a couple days. Now that little guy is one of my best friends.

Hi-A Guys! I'm Drago.


Nicknames: Dray, Drake

I think I was named after someone on The Game of Thrones, I don't even know what that is but it sounds scary and i'm scary!! I'm the newest family member. I just got to move in back in January. After Mom's buddy Duke passed away she wanted another dog so bad she started looking on line. She found me on Facebook and the rest is history. Dad couldn't say no to this face. When I first came home it was scary because Bella and Minnie didn't want to be friends but all my humans loved me and helped us all get along. Now they're my best friends. We get in all kinds of trouble together! Minnie and I love to wrestle around the house. She's a great big sister! Everyday when Sissy and Dylan come to see me I cry like I haven't seen them in a month. I love to give my boy hugs when I see him, too.

I sleep with Mom and Dad, they said something about crate training. They even set up this giant cage in the kitchen but I won that! I love going in the car and Sissy says i'm a great car rider. We get to go pick our boy up from school some days, that's my favorite! I'm full of mischief and have recently discovered the swimming pool, even though there is a cover on it right now I still get in and walk around. I keep hearing that the cover comes off! I can't wait!

I also love to help with housework! I attack the Swiffer and follow the vacuum around. Cleaning is fun! Oh and I love to eat flowers. Sissy picks them sometimes and I eat them. Everyone thinks it's funny when I tilt my head back and forth when i'm listening, too. My favorite thing to do is harrass Sissy's cat, Chance. I just don't understand why he won't be my friend and why he makes this spitting sound at me and shows me his sharp claws. He has really good food though and his toys are super fun. They're better than mine. Okay, well maybe not as good as the zombie football in the front yard or the bones mom gets us but they're good. They have feathers!! Who doesn't love feathers? I know Minnie and I do!


Hi y'all. It's Bella again. Before we sign off I want to show you a picture of my best buddy Duke. He passed away in October because he had Cancer. We miss him a lot but we know he's in Heaven now with Papa.



Thank you all for stopping by and seeing us. We really like it when we get love so leave us lots of love please!
We've heard Chance gets to take over soon. You'll get to see our other fur-brother, too!

Lots of Love,
Bella, Minnie, & Drago
