He's so cute. Seems like his likes his picture taken..lol
Oh everyone now I know I'm a glutton for punishment. My hub brought home a cute little kitten from JFK airport the other day. The vet said he's pretty close to 4mos old coz some of his baby teeth are still there. He's soooo cute, we named him Trum...
Kelly - the presidents who had Newfs as first dogs were Grant, Hayes and Buchanan. I had to look it up coz it bothered me.
Kelly - I think so that it was a newf with Lewis and Clark, also a newf saved Napolean when he fell off his ship when coming back from exile in Elba back to France. Also 3 US presidents had newfs in the White House, only I can't remember which ones..
chaela - you are absolutely right. Chief is a newfie. He was born on 6/4. So he'll be 6mos old on 12/4, We got him also this summer, actually 2wks after we got Perry so we did 2 road trips in the month of August to get animals. LOL Chief's full AK...
Here's a pic of Chief and Sparky, Chief is on the left, he's the puppy!! Sparky is our old man. He's about 11y/o
Chaela - Pablo looks like a sweetie. Yea I know I'm another one of those nuts who thinks iguanas look nice. I know what you mean about liking only 1 person. My double-yellow head parrot Perry is the same with me. I inherited her from my godmother ...

Heather said… - Karen~Sorry I have not been on. Thank you for sharing your "tidbit" about yourself :) I really appreciate it. Also wanted to thank you for your kind words. There are times that I think about the future and it does scares me a little, but I know I have a long time before he will be deployed since his schooling is so long. I have come to grips with this lifestyle and actually its a relief to put most of the worrying behind me and all the What ifs behind me. I wont ever be able to put the "miss hims" behind me though! For me right now that is the biggest thing is just plain old missing him. I know that will never go away. I do feel blessed though to have this opportunity and for him to have this opportunity as well. There is so much to learn from the Navy and there really is a lot offered from the Navy too. Just have to allow myself to see all the positive and not so much of the negative part of it. I think I have made this long enough for you to read lol sorry. Keep in touch. Ttyl

Laura- Mom of Colin said… - I think that our parents generation just never said I love you enough. My parents didn't say it either and theye all seemed to raise us the same way. Like you, we always taught our kids to be proud of themselves and love themselves. I always told them that you know you did the right thing if you could look in the mirror and see a good person. I tell them I love them all the time and they don't care who's around when they say it back. I say it to my husband all the time too. It's almost our 26th anniversary and we still feel like newlyweds......really old newlyweds.

- I am trying to find a way of emailing you. I worked in two different doctors offices and both are closed now for doing things illegally. I was lucky I got out before they got caught. I love the animals they are so innocent and yet loving if we give them a chance. I found a 2 foot black racer snake laying on the bricks warming himself. He was so beautiful. We just looked at each other and it was nice.

Gloria "Corpsman's Mom" said… - Karen - they say the school is equivalent to a one year LPN program. They have a lot to absorb in such a small time. They are in school learning all day - not like college take a 50 min class and have a couple hr break. It is tough but they really want it. They will be rewarded in the end when they can feel competent they can take care of someone. And yes, fortunately, they do not know the real of it all. Especially - you as EMT must have seen a lot!

- My son also likes aviation. No offense taken on the PA. I say go for it. I received my Masters in Nursing Admin only two years ago. My Bachelors about two years before that. The hospital paid for it all so I took advantage. I say do not think about it and just go for it.
