It has been a long time since I wrote a note here. I have been very busy with so many things. I now have a third dog. Katie joined our family about a year ago. She is a cute little 6 pound girl who loves to play. I am very active with IMPS, minpin rescue. Katie is an IMPS dog. Gunther is aging. He is very healthy but had two near death illnesses last summer. He stepped on a bee and went into shock. I now carry a bee sting kit with us when we walk. He has arthritis and an enlarged heart but you would not know it to watch him. He is active, playful but not as fast as he used to be. He remains a stubborn minpin. I would not have him any other way. Teddy does not show his age yet. He has not had any serious health issues. I hope his good health will continue.
I have leared to really enjoy machine embroidery. One day I hope to learn to digitize but time really does not allow that right now. I continue to work full time. We are working on a home remodel so we are very busy. |

|
| It has taken a long time to sort and get photos up. That is what happens when so many are taken at once. I hope you enjoy all the Mammoth photos. I have added photos in many of the galleries. |

More Mammoth Photos Added |
|
|
|
| I finally had a chance to upload more Mammoth photos to share. Soon I will upload the photos of Sotcherlake, Teddy and some snowbound photos I want to share. I hope you all had a lovely Christmas. I really enjoy the snow photos because we get no snow in Southern California. It had been years since I had seen snow, and my dogs had never seen it before this trip. Although we did not expect and were not prepared for snow, it was fun and a great experience for all of us. I got to shovel snow for the first time in my life. LOL |

| I have started to upload some of our Mammoth photos. I will be doing this over several days. We hiked into so many areas and I would love to share the photos with all of you. Today I added photos to the new Mammoth Gallery, the Dogs at Play and the family galleries. I hope you will enjoy the wonderful Sierra views. |

I've rediscovered sewing. |
|
|
|
I have been very busy for the last two months. I have decided to do some sewing. When I was younger I used to sew all the time, but it had been years since I touched my machine. Much to my surprise, I really have been enjoying sewing. Not sure why I was so surprised as I used to sew all our clothing and even did tailoring. Well, no interest in sewing clothes at the moment, but am enjoying stitching other things
I have made snuggle sacks for the California minpins in foster. Then I did some work with a lap quilt that I did without a pattern. I liked that so much I decided to take a quilting class. Well, that led to taking a second class and with all the homework, very little time to do photos. I will open a new gallery of sewing projects so you can see what I have been doing to keep myself busy.

New Photos And A New Gallery |
|
|
|
| I have added a new Gallery to show my Dogs at play. We took a long walk today at Top of the World in Laguna Beach. Summer heat is here and that means summer creatures are active. I have added several snake photos in local wildlife. We even managed to get some good photos of a rattle snake if you have not seen them. Gil took those photos, I keep my distance from the rattle snakes. There is a new photo of Maggie and Sam in Maggie's gallery for you to enjoy. |

Updated Maggie photos |
|
|
|
| I have a couple of new photos of Maggie to share. Please read the caption and check out the links to Maggie after her injuries. You will know what a miracle she is and why I am so proud of her. IMPS helped this little girl become whole again and be able to share her love with those who really need it. You go Maggie--you are making your foster Mom so very proud. |

Today I took a hike in O'Neil Regional Park. The wild flowers are just starting to bloom. I have added a new wild flower gallery to my photo section. Enjoy the new photos.
The photo of Gunther in the wild oats is one of my favorites! He is so little, but this photo shows how he thinks of himself. LOL He thinks he is a very big dog.
