#Flashback Friday - Halloween long ago

Mom Kim here - I decided to flashback, way back today - even before this blog began.

I'm linking up with the FiveSibes and their

#FlashbackFriday Blog Hop

All you have to do to join in the hop is
 find a picture from yesterday or years ago then
 link it up - you have 7 days.

This is my little Angel Oreo with 
his "little" big brother Angel Shiloh.
Not sure when this picture was taken - picture was transferred from another computer and original date was lost-
it was either 2005 or 2006 since Angel Shiloh was full grown and
was born in 2003 and Angel Oreo crossed the 
Rainbow Bridge in February of 2007.

#FlashbackFriday - puppy edition

         

              Today we are joining with the

FiveSibes and their

#FlashbackFriday Blog Hop

My angels waiting for me at the Rainbow Bridge-

big brother Oreo meets puppy Shiloh.

Big brother Shiloh meets puppy Shasta.

Even though Miss Maizie came to us at eight months old-

 she was still technically a puppy.

Miss Maizie asks Lady Shasta what's she been eating?

Make sure to link up your Flashback Friday blog post to the FiveSibes (link above) .

#Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day

Today I have taken over the blog to join with others from Blogville and the Cat Blogosphere and linked up with

Zee & Zoey Cat Chronicles

for a special day-

Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day.

I have not seen the Rainbow Bridge depicted this way before-

I kind of like to think of it with the balloons- 

adds to the excitement of others already at the Bridge as they anticipate a new arrival although

here on earth the mood is usually quite the opposite. 

I have been blessed with a 

few companions who are 

now angels waiting for me at the Rainbow Bridge.

Shiloh was my first Beagle and

my most recent companion to fly away to the Bridge.

It was not until shortly after he was gone that

I realized he was my heart dog.

He taught me so much and

we accomplished more together than I had with any other dog.

We completed all levels of obedience training on his way to

becoming a Canine Good Citizen.

I love this picture of my sweet angel that

Ann @ Zoolatry

I call it the many faces of Shiloh.

Shiloh loved his work as a therapy dog, 

visiting nursing homes and hospice.

However nothing made him happier than

when he could interact with children as a 

Reading Education Assistance Dog.

 

(He was even happier when he was able to lose the Halti)

When Shiloh came to live with me as an 8 week old puppy,

he had to learn to live with his 

little "big" brother, Oreo - my senior Yorki-Poo.

As you can see, even when Shiloh grew bigger than Oreo,

they remained best buds and loved to play together.

This was our first Christmas together.

I smile knowing that now they are together again, forever at the 
Rainbow Bridge.

as well as some of family's companions,

My Two Angels on #FlashbackFriday

For those who have not met him-

the little black dog is my YorkiPoo, Oreo.

The Beagle puppy is Shiloh.

This was their first meeting back in May of 2003.

Even when Shiloh grew bigger than Oreo,

they were still best buds.

And now they are both

Angels at the Rainbow Bridge-

I bet they have renewed their "best buds" furrendship.

Wayyy #Flashback Friday plus 2

Every Friday the FiveSibes host the Flashback Friday Blog Hop.  If you have a special photo (or 2 or 3 or ...) share them in a post each week then link up below to join the fun.

This week, I was looking through some old photos and ran across several I want to use for a FF post - I tried to narrow it down to one but I couldn't so these two ended up here.  Not real sure when these two pictures were taken - my Angel Oreo went to the Rainbow Bridge in 2007 and in this picture, my deck had not yet been built.  I know that Lady Shasta joined us in late November of 2006 and in this picture, Angel Shiloh was pretty young so I'm guessing early 2005 which would have made him around 2 years old.

I do remember this next picture was of our 1st Christmas together - 2003. Angel Shiloh was already a big boy - being born in March of that same year.  Angel Shiloh and Angel Oreo were best buds (future FF posts?).

Halloween through the years on #ThrowbackThursday plus re-visiting old goals

Mom Kim here for today - been doing a bit of reminiscing at old Halloween pictures.  This first one is of me and my two 

fur-angels - Shiloh and Oreo.  We were waiting for the 

costume parade at Petsmart.

Halloween 2005

This is my favorite backdrop to use - this was the Halloween just before Lady Shasta joined our furmily - in fact she was about three weeks old and would join us in about 5 weeks - we just didn't have any idea at the time that our paths would soon come together.

 Halloween 2006

My fur-angel Shiloh with an attitude

Halloween also 2006

This was the first Halloween picture I could find of 

Team Beaglebratz.

Halloween 2009

Angel Shiloh was the Biker Dude and Lady Shasta was 

a fancy butterfly.

Halloween 2010

The Team looking for skeletons in the closet

Halloween 2013

Evidently the Team found some skeletons out here?

Halloween 2014

The high-class couple-
Angel Lord Shiloh and Lady Shasta

Halloween 2015

Picture for Halloween 2016 - yet to come.

Also re-visiting an old goal

These past few months have been kind of some off few months for me when it comes to the blog and not sure how things will go in the near future.  Wanting to sell this house is still on the burner and slowly getting the work done I need in order to do that HOWEVER instead of trying to sell it this year -

it's pretty doubtful that will happen as I have just not

been able to get the work done as quickly as I had hoped.

So unless a miracle suddenly blows in and ALL the work can be done in the next week or so,

I am pretty much resigned to the fact that 

putting the house on the market 

won't happen until early spring of 2017-

especially as the holidays draw closer.

Also my sis and I will be visiting family in Louisiana sometime before the end of this year so that needs to be figured in to when work can be done also.

Actually not selling until spring may work out for the best as 

it will allow me more time to find things like

little areas that need paint touch-ups and

other such odd jobs which just might improve the chances of selling this house.

Another goal - that all too elusive 1000 posts.

It would have been great if that had happened BEFORE

Angel Shiloh journeyed to the Rainbow Bridge but

with all my medical problems and then his,

and how life in general just seems to have other plans at times,

I guess it was just not gonna happen that way SOOOO...

it is still out there to reach 1000 posts by the end of 2016.

I was on track until this past few days to be able to do

that with just 1 post per day HOWEVER-

once again LIFE took over-

not problems with my vision but 

just life in general-

including 

Lady Shasta having her own problems with her

Intervertebral Disk Disease or maybe 

just plain old Arthur-itis and getting older.

It's better plus I have found out she likes

wearing a light-weight sweater,

especially in the morning when it's cooler.

ANYWAY-

we will both be trying to

post more and there is 

a good chance that on some days you will see 

more than 1 blog post so just maybe we can make 

1000 posts by the end of the year.

Of course if it was totally up to

Lady Shasta we would have been there already.

Ok - I have been rambling long enough-

if I am going to at least get 1 post today then

I need to shut up and post.

(have you ever noticed that rambling seems to be a human "quality"?)
