Warming Wednesday

(Heart) Warming Wednesday

A couple of weeks ago there was a dog wandering around outside the Lab, and of course the animal lover in me went outside to pet it. Well this dog was in pretty bad shape. She was super skinny, sores on her neck, ticks in her ears. She just looked sad :( But.. she was so so sweet! She just wanted to be loved by everyone! And while she was at the lab she was very much loved by all of us!

She was so excited to have some fresh water!

Now I know Pit Bulls have a scary reputation and I believed all were scary mean animals but on that day I found out that yes they can actually be nice! Our sweet girl wouldn't have hurt anyone. We played with her and people on their lunch breaks fed her some food. She was all around just happy to have great company for once! 

I called the Kearney Humane Society to see what we needed to do to get her to them, they told me to call the police department (non-emergency) and they would come get her. When I called the police, they asked me all of these questions. When they asked what kind of dog we thought it was I told them maybe a Pit Bull. I could tell exactly what the lady was thinking, 'Oh great, another mean dog.' Before she could get the next question in I explained that she was very nice and that no force would be necessary when picking her up. After two hours of wonderful bonding time a sheriff came and picked her up. Literally everyone at the lab was sad to see her go..

Fast forward to last night at softball. There was a girl at the softball game talking about how she was at the Humane Society earlier this week and she had met and gotten to play with a grey Pit Bull and that she was the sweetest dog she had every met! My heart stopped. I was so excited to hear that someone else had experienced how wonderful this puppy is!! She wished that she could have adopted her but they already have a Pit Bull, so she was trying to get someone, anyone with a heart at the softball game to go adopt this wonderful dog! She said that she was doing really great at the Humane Society and that she looked healthy and full of energy! I really wish that we were able to adopt her but right now it just wouldn't work for us. 

Cherry :)

She is now available for adoption at the Kearney Humane Society. They named her Cherry and they also think that she is wonderful and sweet! So if anyone out there wants this adorably sweet puppy please go adopt her! I know shelter puppies aren't some people's fancy but once you meet Cherry, you'll fall in love too!

Threads Thursday

Happy cool threads Thursday everyone! 

Today I'm going to talk about one of the stores that Grandma and I have ventured to recently. This store is located in Minden, Nebraska. I wanted to go to this specific store because people on Facebook are always talking about it and I saw a shirt that I had to have! The store is called 'Hissy Fit Boutique.'

The shirt I HAD to HAVE!

'Hissy Fit' is full of fun trendy fun clothes, as well as, boots, jewelry, purses, and much more! Some people may think the store is too Country for them but living in Nebraska I don't mind. They had some pretty awesome boots but I might have to get a second job to pay for them :)

The boots on the right are the one I want :)

Grandma and I had a great time in Minden. We got a lot of cool clothing while we were there. Grandma also got a 'God Made A Farmer' tee shirt, along with a cute tank and cover up that she wore to Cattlemen's Ball last weekend. She looked adorable, of course we didn't get any pictures.

This is the sweater that I got on sale for only $20!

 

They also have adorable baby clothes!

I will definitely be going back to 'Hissy Fit Boutique' in the future!

 

They have some great new products for summer!

Thanks for checking in on Threads Thursday! Make sure you check out "Hissy Fit Boutique" on Facebook and Online. They do ship! Check back to see more stores we have visited!

Win Back Wednesday

Win back is a synonym to catch up. Today I am going to try at 'win back' everyone's attention by catching them up on all that has been happening in the busy past month. Here we go..

First off, my little brother Joe graduated from St. Thomas More High School! He will be attending the University of Nebraska at Lincoln in the fall majoring in PGA Golf. Yes, that is actually a major.

Congrats Joe! You're awesome! Photo credit: Kristin Camp :)

Some exciting news for my Mom and Dad. Especially my Dad.. He has accepted the position of General Manager/ CEO of White River Electric Association in Meeker, Colorado. He and my Mom will be moving to Meeker by August 1st. They will be newly empty nesters so two big changes for them but we all know they will do great!

Meeker looks beautiful!

Chris agreed to play on four.. yes FOUR softball teams this summer. So on top of Puppy School Monday nights Chris also has softball. He plays on two different team on Monday nights, another on Tuesday, and his work team plays on Thursday's and some times on Friday's. I do try and make it to all of his games even though there have been nights where it has been 50 degrees and raining and nights that have been 102. Crazy Nebraska weather! But great supportive girlfriend!

Chris's work team. Go Scorrchers!

Kiya has started puppy school! Well it is actually Dog Obedient school but puppy school sounds better! We have only gone to two classes so far but she is learning pretty fast. We have six classes left before we have to take the "test" to see if we passed. Kiya and I have a lot of homework to do before then, but I am very optimistic that she'll pass :)

She was super tired after her first night!

I got to hang out with my little friend Allie a couple of times! She is almost as cute and perfect as I was when I was that age :) We have a lot of fun when we are together and we share a special bond because we are both first Granddaughters and oldest of our families. There is more for me to teach Allie, like how to be a pretty princess like me!

Grandma, Grandpa, Chris, and I attended Cattlemen's Ball near Paxton, NE. The weather was great compared to last year, a little rain but not 110 degrees! The food was good, the entertainment was great, the shopping was fantastic! This years entertainment was Lonestar. I thought they did a great job! They just released a new album and I may just have to buy it! We had a great time and can't wait until next year!

Grandma had her second knee replaced this week (she is doing great) but before she had that done we have been exploring local shops in other towns. We are the reason for Small Business shopping.. because we spend so much! I will be talking about where we have gone and what we think about the shops we have been to. Once Grandma is fully recover we will be traveling and checking out more stores around the area. So, if anyone has any suggestions we will take them!

I'm sure there is a lot more that I could talk about but I'm sure this enough for today. Hope you all were able to keep up with my chatter. Check back soon for my new store reviews and purchases! Have a wonderful Wednesday!
