all I can do is smile today :-)

Loving my progress on Pink Hill Manor. My dye lot of Jacky Brown isn't as pink as the photo and it's a nice color.

Thanks so much for all your kind words regarding the return of Izzy! I'm still pinching myself. I got a call last night from my BIL and they just couldn't take the chaos of two puppies anymore. The two puppies were not playing well together at all and were total terrors when they tried. Izzy who had totally bonded to me didn't want much to do with them and they thought her offstandish and not very affectionate. Hunter was preoccupied with playing with Izzy and in turn ignored them. While the puppies were with me I crated trained them so they would sleep in crates at night giving them a break. But my sister and BIL are not fans of crating so they let them roam around at night. They would disrupt the household in the middle of the night with their antics and no one was sleeping. All good for me it turns out. :-)
When I got her home Izzy ran around with the pugs and greeted each one. The pugs were like, where've you been Iz? Georgie was especially happy to see her. She didn't stop waging her tail until we went to bed and she fell asleep.

She is bigger than all of them!

I'm one happy camper. And I am here to tell you, it really is easier with only one puppy. Breakfast was so easy without Hunter around. I think most things will be easier with just the one. I'm so glad I get to find out.
Now I really need to find a new name for my blog. :-)

LOVE Pink Hill Manor. Have resisted getting this design for awhile but it would look soooooo good stitched in one of my guest bedrooms.

Your progress is great and Jakey Brown is one of my FAVE pinks of all time!

I have a name for you... Three Cool Pugs, Me and the Lab Experiment or Experience.

Crate training is a must no matter what breed you own, well unless it is a little mini foxie (rat terrier) named Meah, who only has one bed... mine

Pink Hill Manor is looking mighty fine.

If you stacked the pugs one upon the other, they would be taller than Izzy. Just another perspective on the situation.

Great stitching progress!

Happy Stitching!
