All Tuckered Out Now :-)

May each and every person who has been following this story find a blessing, and a ray of sunshine, and a bit of wisdom that has been shared by fellow Jigidiers in their comments they have left.

In case the comment below is missed somehow on the other puzzles.....please allow me to post it on each of the adventures of Callie Lou and her brother............

I am THANKFUL for soooooooooooo many things!!!!!!!! I stumbled into Jigidi not so long ago. Not only has Callie Lou found a community filled with support, well wishes, wisdom, sharing, caring, tips and warmth, it has become so evident to me too :-)))))))))) I am so thankful for Jigidi and all of its wonderful people. What a great way for everyone to start off the new year. I am thrilled to have been part of Calli Lou's and her brothers life and the oppertunity to share it with the world. For such tiny pups, they have indeed traveled all around the world. The love that wasn't there from their beginning has now been multiplied beyond count and we all embrace their future with high hopes. I am so greatful for Libby welcoming Callie into her home and heart!!!!! My husband stands tall in my eyes for all that he has done for these little guys. His very first emergency trip to the vets office to find something to combat the fleas, another trip that night for oatmeal shampoo aftr learning fleas might could jump 6 feet LOL LOL LOL, the early morning visit to the vet to get their first shots and deworming, the trips to fetch food and toys LOL, his tender heart, and his patience with me through all this, makes him one special guy in my book!!!! He has always been good to me. God blessed me with my husband and our son and He has always had His hand in my life!!!!! I learned a good while back that when we ask of Him things and it seems that He doesn't answer, that we are often asking for the wrong things. I am sure many of you have seen this in your lives too? Sometimes we just need to change what we are asking for and then do some searching for what He has already provided for us. He has promised to supply us with every need. We just have to do our part and search out those supplies that He already has in place.

I am delighted that the story of these two little pups have touched so many lives. I am thankful for each of you that have shared in their journey and best of all, we all have something good to look forward to because of Libby. Who could ask for more? LOL

So here is to ALL of Jigidi and to the future!!!!!!! :-)))))))))))))))))))) Hugs and appreciation all around with more to come :-)))))))))))))

Please let me post this on the puzzles and then I will be back with replies to the comments :-)

Let me give all of you and update for today. When the trucker guy was a no show, and then our decision not to let the other lady have her because they had numerous other dogs that were kept in pens, it was back to us keeping her. But since she is part Lab, I fear that the alligators in the pond would eat her if she went for a swim, coupled with us living next to the highway that my husband found the puppies, we would need a fenced in back yard to keep her safe....which we don't have. It has been an emotional roller coaster ride with trying to decide whethr or not to keep her. But the latest news is that the trucker guy might end up with her after all.

Here is what happened today. It turned out that my husband was calling the wrong number yesterday when he was trying to get in touch with the guy. He finally realized his mistake and dialed the right number. The guy saw where we had tried to call him, so he called us back early this morning and hubby told him he could still have her. He came right on out. BUT....I was royally ticked at not hearing from him yesterday.....I would have expected a call saying that he was unable to come right then and would come for her today......but come to find out, he was in a section of Florida where he did not have reception. Anyway, being the grump pot that I am early in the morning, I made some hard fast rules. He could come and look at her but he could not take her home with him today. I want to test him to see if he keeps his word about getting her tomorrow. The poor little thing is still scratching like crazy, so back to the vet she went after he left. The vet took about 20 minutes with her but saw no reason to prescribe anything. He said that her skin was just dry and causing the itching. Probably the massive flea infestation didn't help either.

Anyway, Bella is still with us and we will see if she goes home with the guy tomorrow. There will still be some rules though. If he will let us take a picture of him holding her, give us his address, and promise to check in with us or let us call him, then I will feel better about letting her go. I so want to keep her, but like I said, I am afraid that something would happen to her due to the pond and road issue.

I do know one thing......this guy is going to have to prove himself worthy of her before I let him take her. If you are thinking that I can be a grump pot at times then you would be right. I fight hard when something comes down to "the principle of the thing!!!"

I did indeed loose my internet last night while trying to answer comments. Windstream got another call LOL as I was pretty ticked about the instability of my internet. Work is still going on with the lines but the tech support guy put us down to have a repairman come out today and check everything on our end. Low and behold, MY MODEM has been at fault. The repairman just left and I now have a new modem AND INTERNET!!!!!!!!! YESSS!!!!!!! Update to follow in just a bit.....I want to let everybody know why there were no updates yesterday and no new photos.

Just want to wish you a Happy New Year! You could live 2013 in total dissolution as you have finished up 2012 with such a marvellous, loving bang! Hee hee. All the best to both of you and continued blessings for 2013. :DDD Faye

Oh, Kathy! The story continues. I think that destiny is intervening here, and perhaps you were made for each other!!!

And just to let you know, you can make your puzzles public at your allotted time. Just click the publish button, and select your category and copyright options, then save. They will then be public!! I love that feature of new Jigidi, and often pre-load my puzzles when I'm going out, and "publish" them from my phone! Recently I was driving home from dinner with friends, and pulled over on the side of the road and published my puzzles, and then continued my journey. How good is that?

I look forward to seeing the next lot of photos and the story. You have such a good heart. And not to forget hubby. :)))

Ok guys, I am back, at least until the net goes blink-da-blank again!!!!! It went out completely last night at 2:32 am. I am trying to catch up on replies before it knocks me off again tonight. I have already uploaded puzzles for tonight, but they won't be available for public for another hour or so. I hope that I can mark them public at that time?

Anyway, again I apologize for not being able to respond to all of your WONDERFUL comments!!!!!! For fear of getting even further behind due to not having internet access, please let me respond as a whole?????

You guys and dolls have made this journey with us and have supported us and I want everyone to know that I APPERICATE IT SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!! It is so wonderful to know that there are caring people out there and you guys have proven that with your support. My heart is full and happy because of you and your support!!!!!!!!

The journey isn't over yet!!!!! Today brought new changes. The puzzles that are hanging in the wind will have an update of today's happenings, but for a short recap......guess who is still with us???? LOL Sure hope that I can post the new puzzles very very shortly!!!!! I think I titled one...."Guess who is still with us?" It explains today's events in more detail, but in short, the trucker was a no show!!! Shame on him :-( We also turned someone down due to their having lots of dogs already and keeping them in pens. Somebody has new food and new toys, there is a puzzle of Bandit doing his thing, and the last puzzle for today is a Kaleido that my mom did :-) Details on all those puzzles :-)

Hugs and kisses were given to AnnaBelle last night at bedtime from her friends here at Jigidi!!!

THANK YOU AGAIN......Puzzaddled, Kathy, Roerick, Wolflady, Faye, Buckeye and Pumpkin for helping us along this journey!!!!!!!

Keep her, I say :)

This is such a sweet picture of her after a hard day's "work." I'm glad you've already found someone that wanted her brother. I hope this little sweetheart is as lucky. The trucker sounds good - dogs are happier with companionship.

I'm so glad things are working out...hope you'll make the new owners check in with an update...and perhaps a pic! LOL

And blessings on you and hubby for giving these wee babes a good start in life...so much more than they had and just as much as they deserved. It was probably for the best that they were discarded to be found by you two...hopefully your love and care has caused them to forget their fear and pain...have to stop...too many tears. Hugs, Faye.

Roerick...left a message for you on "Blue eyes still".

She looks so content, and with a full tummy. No doubt she will be adopted soon too.
Hope her brother enjoys his new home. Thanks for taking care of them, and I hope
his former owners never get another pet, or someone would find out who they
were, and report them as abusers. Take care..

Just saw your update of the puppies and now know why Eyes is missing from your lap tonight. Glad to hear he found a new loving home so quickly but am already missing him. Hope this little lovely above will be as happy traveling the highways of the country as I was in all of my travels. I know she will bring much joy where ever she goes. I will be picking your brain as time goes on and hope to create puzzles so I can give back to the community that is giving me so much enjoyment. Did real jigsaw puzzles for years as a kid with my Mom and this site takes me back.

Nothing cuter than a sleeping puppy, glad it is working out, give her an extra treat for me... (like she hasn't been getting any?)

Oh my goodness...look at her wee full tum tum....and the puppy smell is stronger than ever...absolutely adorable! And those little soft ears....

Are you still going to be looking for alternative homes or do you think that you're going to cave? Thank you so much for keeping us all in the loop...we have, vicariously, been with you and the little ones too! *hugs* to them and you from Michelle
