Welcome home Willow June

 Meet our new little girl,

Willow June.

             She was picked up as a stray in Louisiana and after no

one claimed her transported to the Florida Rottweiler

Rescue Ranch.  This is the rescue we had gotten Bree

from, who was also an unclaimed stray pickup from

Louisiana.

She is about a year old, sweet  and smart as the dickens.

She learned a new name in 3 days and has many commands

down pat, she even learned to pee in the designated spot in

the yard and goes there on command.

Welcome home Willow June.

You have some big paws to fill but I'm sure you

have a guardian angel named 

Brianna Rose guiding you.

Barbie Collection Catalog 88-89 Here Come the Brides

It seems fitting to finish up June with the only two bridal dolls I have in my collection.

1999 Millennium Wedding - The Bridal Collection #27674

2002 Wedding Day Barbie - KB Exclusive  #B2817

I really like the Millennium Bride, her dress is simple but beautiful and she is very pretty.  I like the Wedding Day Bride because I like ponytail dolls but there is nothing special about her.  The dress is stiff from the glitter on it and the glitter comes off very easily and is all over her body.

Thanks for stopping by.......

Barbie Collection Catalog Project 83 - 87 More Boxed Sets

Continuing the catalog project with more of my boxed dolls.

1991 Opening Night - Classique Collection #10148

1996 Romantic Interlude - Classique Collection  # 17137

1996 Diamond Dazzle - Jewel Essense Collection  #15519

1996 Emerald Embers - Jewel Essense Collection  #15521

1997 Cafe Society - Barbie Collector Club  # 18892

These dolls were bought because at the time I liked them.  I am not as enamored with them now (except Romantic Interlude, I love the Nichelle face mold) and have been contemplating either selling them or donating them to a charity for auction.  Or I may keep them, but they just collect dust on a closet shelf.

Saying Good-bye To an Old Friend and Welcoming a New One

Back on March 24th, we had to help our 10 year old Rottweiler, Louie, over the Rainbow Bridge.  

We thought we had 6 weeks more with him but his kidney disease progressed rapidly and he also developed several tumors.  It was hard but it was time to let him go.

It was very hard being without him during our 'stay at home' order, the house was very empty with just The Husband and me.  I wasn't sure if I wanted another Rottie (we have had 7), we are getting older and they are big dogs!  After about a month we started casually looking at dogs, me mixed breed midsize and The Husband rescue Rotties.  He found a boy about 2yrs about an hours drive.  We spoke with the woman that runs the rescue and asked her to send a video of the dog interacting with the staff.  She said she would the next day.  We never heard from her again.

In the meantime, I came across a rescue 3hrs away with a 3yr old girl that looked just like our last female, Lily, who passed 8 yrs ago.  She looked so sweet and I was smitten.  We contacted them and got approved to come out the next day.  So off we went.......and we fell in love with Bree.

Our Briana Rose!

She is sweet, calm, gentle and very smart.  We couldn't ask for a better dog.

She is very relaxed and settling in nicely.

I don't usually stray from dolls on this site, but I had to say goodbye to Louie and welcome home Briana Rose!
