It's wonderful to see you!!! I know how it is with real life taking the joy out of things sometimes. I haven't been around YT or FB much myself. My son is in Afghanistan for 10 months and that's really knocked me for a loop. Zapped the joy out of everything for me. I'm sorry you're sick and hope you make a full recovery real soon. Poor little Gidget. It's a shame someone was so mean to her, but I know that with your love and attention she'll come to trust you and know you're a good Mommy. Hugz
@Neferkit1 I had no idea Pat! I will remember him as well as you in my prayers. I can't imagine. If you need a friend, I'm here for you. Sending you much love and many many hugs!
@AmethystButterflyGrl Thank you so much, Lori. That really means a lot to me for you to say that and I so appreciate you being such a sweet and good friend. Love you bunches xoxo
Hey Girl...Good to see you. Sorry you and mom are sick. Yes.. Haha.. life gets in our way. I adopted an abused pound puppy too. It will get better. Well... You two get better soon. See ya later. HugZ Sugar
@1jojolicious Thanks for the encouragement. I worry that she will carry the scars forever. She is such a gentle soul....and a rascal at the same time! LOL Good to see you!
so nice to see you and to know that you are feeling better ! Life can surely keep us busy... its been keeping me away from watching vids for the last month... sending love your way ! take care !
Sorry that you having a hard time, life can be challanging at times, hope your Mum doing good too. Ah poor wee Gidget, its takes a long time for them to trust again, but he couldnt have got a better home , with you, Bella, and your Mum, hugs,C.
@longcara It is good to be missed, but I hope I'm around more now and won't have to be missed. Thanks for not giving up on me.
I just wish I could shake the people that abused her...it makes me so mad! She's doing better each day. Such a little love. She has such a sweet personality.
Glad you're feeling better. Sucks you don't feel great. It sounded like you were in the back room at a diner or something with the sound of plates and utensils clacking around. Bella is so talented. Now if she'd only do windows too. Congrats on the upcoming great niece! It's about time you stopped getting those sucky ones. ;-)
2 weeks and you're getting a serial killer again and a few others. :-D
@2TheLeftOfNoWhere LOL Mom was in the kitchen and I thought she was sleeping. She is sneaky that way! If only Bella would do something to earn her keep around here. I guess she is cute...hmmm I gotta get her trained.
Ooooh...really? I'm so excited for the serial killer to arrive! Thank you so much! You are the bestest!
Do I even know who that girl is? Sorry you are having to deal with so much. Glad to hear Gidget is improving each day. You can't stand up to the Roc for sure lol. I am so glad to see you. You wouldn't believe how much.
@cozzyk Hehe, I owe you a LONG email girl! I've not been a very good friend and I am so sorry. I THINK I'm digging my way out of the blues and I should be more available and a better friend. Thanks for not giving up on me!
Hi Lori! I've missed seeing you and Bella and now your new little puppy! I hope your mom is feeling better soon.. sorry you have been sick.. There has been some nasty stuff going around this winter..
@mysteryglo Yes, really nasty bugs. I missed another two days of work this week. Relapse I guess. But I think I have kicked it for good finally! Whew!
Lori, it's so nice to see you! Glad that you are feeling better. Oh yes, life has it's way of getting in the way. LOL Give the doggies a rub for me. Lucy was the same way but she's come around and is not so scared of people and noises now. Please come back as often as you can and a car ride with Bella would be awesome. :) Jim
@CountryComesToTown I will do that, Jim. Give Lucy a big hug from us too. Was there anything you did with her in specific to help her overcome the shyness? It breaks my heart. I'll do a car ride with Bella, it would be fun for me too! :)
@AmethystButterflyGrl Lori, I've had Lucy for a couple of years now but she's quite old. Really it's just taken time, letting her see that the noises were not anything to be scared of and that other people were not going to hurt her or kick her. When I got her, she was scared of any strange noise, women, and children. But now she lets all the neighbors pet her and she's adjusted to the many noises that used to send her running away.
Sorry to hear your mom has been sick. I hope she gets better soon. Hope you get over your cold really quick. It was great seeing you, I hope you are enjoying your new job.
@justwant2bhappy Thanks Lauren, I hope so too. I'm really worried about her. I don't think I could have talked about it because she would hear me and because I would cry. She's all I have left. The job is a challenge, but I like challenges. :)
Great to see you Lori and I am glad you are all better! I hope your mother gets better too. It's hard moving into a new house and re-positioning everything. Yeah, obedience training will help your pup, poor little thing! I am looking forward to the house tour too! Take care! xo
@wildheart5 So great to see you Barb! I have had a setback last night and today. I think I overdid it. But I missed two days of work already so I'm going in. Gidget is doing better each day. She has a loving and trusting nature. We just have to get over the past. It will happen.
Wow - what a nice treat to find you here again after so long. Sorry about the illnesses though - sort of takes the joy out of the good changes! I hope the puppy helps make up for some of that. What we could see of the new house surely looks good. I'll look forward to the tour!
Good to see you....you sure have lots to take care of and organize.yikes. makes me tired to think about all the things you are doing. i try to coupon..our store (yes i it is single) doesn't double, has a limit on how many you can buy etc. thanks for the vid...looking forward to the tour.
@trvlbuggy Thanks so much! Yikes is exactly what I say! One of our stores does three doubles, but not on a regular basis and only three up to 1.00, so you can't do the "extreme" couponing, but every bit helps. Our stores all limit the quantity and I'm really glad they do because it is hard enough to get the great buys without having shelf clearers like you see on TV. So selfish!
@bugsinrug Hi Chris! So nice to see you too! I am feeling better every day. Still worried about mom, but I am doing my best to get her feeling better.
@thejools123 Hi Stacie! So good to see you! I've been missing all my friends! We have actually had some sun off and on for the last week, but it is deceptively cold. You think it is warm but it tricks you!
Girl It's so good to see you. I've thought of you many times and wondered how you were. I hope you get to feeling better and Mom also. Have a wonderful Christmas. Hugs Lori Ann!
HAPPY NEW YEAR LORI !! OH,MOM & BELLA TOO ; )

You have been missing. And you're right. "At long Last"! Sorry you've been sick and I hope you are starting to feel better.
It is a long haul to help a dog back from the "dark". Not only do you need to be gentle and patient, but firm. Or at least that is what they tell me!
Oh, you said my name! Yes, there are some outstanding videos! And, yup! you have to listen to me!
I'm trying to get everyone to commit to at least two videos a week. I think I can do that! Good to see you!!!
