Dog Rescue 911

I'm the yard all the lost dogs come to. Just this month I've found 2 pups without their collar on.

Luckily for the owners I don't want to see these dogs on the side of the road so I always take them in to see if I can locate where they live. Both times have been successful but not without a little TLC from me.

 

My mom goes to my house every day to let my two pups out. Well yesterday Duke & Dodger were barking like crazy on the side of my house. Little did she know there was a lost dog coward in the corner shaking.

 

3 hrs later my manager lets me leave early to check on this lost pup! When I got home he was still in the same corner so I knelt down and called him over to me. He was the sweetest, most gentle pit bull I've encountered. I went inside to get him food & water but when I went back outside he was half way down the street. 

 

I had to leave for Haley's program at church & when I got back home there he was running back down the street to me at full force. This baby needed me & I needed to take care of him.

 

 

We loaded up in the car and drove around for an hour looking for his owner. I posted a few pictures on FB & an ad on craigslist but no luck!

{meet Jimbo aka Roscoe & Baby}

 

My last resort in finding his owner was to check the next morning to see if he was microchipped!

Luckily for me he was! I called the owner who sounded like a young girl to let her know I found her dog! She didn't seem too excited. He lives about 10 miles from me so my only guess is someone stole him and dropped him off in my neighborhood. Or maybe the owner forgot he was chipped and did it herself. Who knows but when she comes to pick him up tonight I'm going to observe his mannerisms towards her & if he seems scared I'm going to ask her if she even wants him.

Because even though having 3 pups at home is way too much I don't want to know a dog is being abused & I let him go back to that house.

Duke, Dodger & Jimbo got along so great last night. All 3 slept in my bed & at one point last night I woke up with Jimbo's head laying on the small of my back!

 

I think he needs me!

Bahamas Part 2

Tuesday we arrived in Nassua, Bahamas for an entire day of laying on the white sands, wading in the blue water, walking around town, being asked if we wanted to smoke weed, eating at McDonalds & lots of drinking.


Josh & I actually didn't even get in the water and now I'm mad at myself for that.
It was a gorgeous day.
We even watched another cruise ship come into port from the beach.


That's the guy who asked us if we wanted to smoke.

Gorgeous conch shells & starfish on the dock.

Horse & buggy rides?

Hot liquor in a jewelry store? No thanks!

 Funny story about this guy!

The entire time we were on this beach he stood with his legs spread apart and arms crossed.

So what more to do than to take funny pictures like this!

{he had no idea we were taking these}

 Just a few of the friends we went with.

 

My most favorite guy ever!

Every day with him is paradise. Going on a cruise is just added fun!

 We walked to this beach which is the same beach my family went to our on last cruise.

 Another Senor Frog's?

This time no dancing on the bars!

 

I had no idea that swing said "swinger's club" until I uploaded these pictures!

I about died until J pointed out it was because we were sitting on a swing. hehe

Can I please have an oversized adirondack chair?



I was always so excited to get back to the room after dinner to see what towel pet our attendant made!

Also because 3 of the 4 nights J had something sent to the room with a sweet note.

The first day was the chocolate covered strawberries, night 2 was a plate of chocolate chip cookies and the last night he had a 6 inch cake waiting for me at dinner.

Besides he finally told me he loved me on the last night!

I'm ready for another getaway!



App- Beautiful Mess

Apparently when I left on my cruise & was without social media for 4 days I missed out on the launch of this new amazing app!

If you don't have "a beautiful mess" app yet go download it now!

Its the best .99 I spent in a long time!

 I have no complaints!

The best part about it is two bloggers made this app!

Why didn't I think of this?

 

 

Use your own photos with their backgrounds then you can add different layers such as a border, doodles, phrases or text! then save it to upload to your camera roll or social media!

 

I'm so glad I found this app!

Have fun playing around with it!



Bahamas: Part 1

Over the next few days I'm going to recap our cruise to The Bahamas.

We left last Sunday for 4 nights in paradise.

Those 4 days flew by!

I loved every minute I was with my main squeeze & spending time with his friends from Texas.

 

I don't have many pictures from the first day which consisted of waking up early to head to the boat from Daytona Beach. When we made it to our room I was so excited to drop my carry on bags and head to the top of the ship when Josh excitedly said "oh babe hey look whats this".... he ordered a chocolate covered platter of strawberries, macaroons and a sweet note!

He even started the note off with "Life Is Sweet"

which makes perfect sense since every day with him has been sweet!

 

I won't mention that once we were out to sea we hit the casino and won $500 on the Wheel Of Fortune slot machine and lost that by the end of the cruise!

 

The second day we woke up in Freeport, Bahama

& with the photographer I am I wanted a picture in front of this sign.

Notice the 4 people standing in next to us. They saw us walk over to this sign and insisted on walking right in front of us to stand like the hated the world & the lady with her head on her knees... she must've had a really bad hangover or was sea sick. Who knows but this picture cracks me up!

We took a tour to the Bahamian Brewery which also had a few stops in between.

Back in 2004, Freeport was hit bad by two hurricanes and the "place to be" which was the International Bazaar only had a few shops still opened.

 

We also stopped at the Perfume Factory which was a cute little pink house and took a tour to see how they make it.

 

Then we finally made it to the Brewery. I'll just say it was so hot in there & during the summer months its even hotter.

 

I'm not a huge beer fan but I was there to support Josh! He enjoys this kind of thing.

 



 

 

 

 

  We sampled 6 different Bahamian beers and then was handed a bigger cup to continue drinking until we got back to the ship.

{this is the group we went with}

We had a blast together!

Yes it was only 12:09 when we left the brewery!

Who cares we were on vacation!

We stopped at a must have shack to try the conch salad and conch fritters.

Apparently the conch fritters were delicious but I wouldn't know. Josh put an entire fritter straight from the fryer into his mouth and needed a drink STAT! So while I was buying $7 cokes he finished off the fritters.

If you've ever see to Senor Frog's you'll know that thy make you get on the bar to dance & take shots.

All the guys in the group jumped on the bar & had a dance competition. Funniest thing I saw the entire time.

Josh refuses to dance but for some reason being in another country brings the best out in him! We have video and I hope to post that video one day!

 

We ended our first night with the Captain's Dinner but we changed out of our dress up clothes before watching the sunset!

Being with Josh has been amazing & to be able to experience paradise together was just perfect.

I can't wait until we plan our next getaway!

 

 Part 2: Nassua, Bahamas

tomorrow

Paradise

 

I'm back! Bug I'd rather be cruisin' with my favorite guy!

These are just a few pictures off my phone. I haven't been home yet to actually upload my digital pics to my iMac. That'll happen some time this weekend.

So for now I leave you with this!

This cruise was by far my favorite vacation ever!

For many reasons!

But the main was is with who I spent it with.

I'm more in love with Josh today than I was yesterday!

 

Baby lets take a cruise!

 

We're going to the Bahamas!

On a boat!

Yep!

 

We leave Sunday for 4 glorious days watching the sunset, eating too much food, getting a bit too much sun, wearing fun dresses & being without the internet!

I'm like a little kid in a candy store! I could pee my pants right now I'm so excited!

& I get to do this with my favorite man ever!

 

I'm debating if I can sneak my favorite wine onto the boat.

I know a lot of you use this for liquor but what about for wine?

I did just read that I can carry on 1 bottle of wine.

Thats a win!

 

Enjoy your week next week!

 

If you're looking to book a cruise I highly recommend Josh's friend Gail!!!

Let her know I sent you!

Bon Voyage!
