as of late . . .

a bit of life has been happening.

a bit of the usual .. the expected.

a bit of drama .. the unexpected.

while i do not blog out of obligation,

i should have shared a post

especially after that crying chick

picture i left up on my blog.

gracious! 

onward.

first off, here's a sweet pic of evelyn.

she has a loppie-sided face

and i just love it. 

she's imperfect. like me. like you.

that's just one of the attributes

making each one of us oh so special,

and rightly so.

it's the rainy season where i live,

though it hasn't been raining too terribly much.

still though, evelyn needs to walk. so do i.

i have an umbrella.

she has a pretty petal pink raincoat.

and a tongue to match. 

the picture's blurry

cuz i didn't take time to change

my camera setting

and golly!

was she ever excited to go on a walk!!!

she wiggles and hops and whines

at walk time. so cute.

she stands very still for pictures, usually.

and in my humble opinion, 

my new little poochie girlie

is quite photogenic. 

isn't she beautiful?

she has dainty feet

that smell like fritos.

i took her to our vet for a general 

'get to know you' type appointment. 

the vet found a couple little lumpies 

in evelyn's chest area. 

gulp. 

after investigating further

she said that they 

appear to be of an aggressive form.

other than that 

{and golly that's a biggie} 

she's in tip top shape.

i called the sanctuary and explained the situation;

they told me to bring her back for surgery.

wednesday evening i took my girlie

back to the sanctuary.

thursday morning she had surgery.

thursday night the director called

to share that surgery went well,

3 masses were found and excised,

and that the only challenge they

had was removing the lippystick kissie mark

from her sweet little forehead.

.smile.

saturday, rocky and i went to gather

her and her staples {in 2 incisions}

and bring our girlie home to recuperate. 

she was *so* excited to see us, 

knew which vehicle to go to,

and hasn't let me out of her sight since.

thursday or friday of this week 

we should know the biopsy results. 

evelyn .. she's a happy, content pooch

who simply wants to love and be loved.

we're doing just that.

rocky painted the little cottage, 

same as the 'big' house.

next stop :: interior

my tiny trailer has a chandelier.

swoooooon!

we've had some overcast/foggy weather.

call me weird but i love these type days.

barren trees .. something so beautiful, to me.

can you see the birds? 

rocky's been traveling. 

but not for long.

there's a bit of corporate reorganization 

going on and his role is set to change. 

soon.

a role that will keep him close to home.

very close. with very very very little travel.

now *this*, ladies, is SWOONABLE news!

blessings,

"jAne"
