Beagle Mafia

Undefeated in more ways then one this week.

WOW! What a week we had. A very rough start but in the end everything turned and worked out for best. I do have an unpublished blog post that one of these days I fill finish. I really want to keep it private but I might just have to tell it like it is instead.

Lots of work to be done rescue wise. I was forced into a pretty ugly choice and situation and somehow by the grace of God, I managed to work it out. All the signs were there and little by little light was being shined. I managed to find 3 spots for 3 beagles in a matter of 10 minutes. It was like a Chinese fire drill but I did it. I am truly blessed to have the right people there to pick up the pieces and ready to be called into action at any moment. No begging, no dancing around just people ready to take on whatever is needed. People who will readjust their entire schedule and life to help a beagle or beagles in need. Who would have thunk, there are actual people out there who get the concept of what RESCUE really means? What a relief! I have a huge weight off my shoulder and feel more refreshed then ever before. Out with the old and in with the new.....

I also quickly learned that its usually not the dog that is/has the issue but the environment the dog is in. One of our fosters was labeled as a "unadoptable" but after moving the dog into another environment, she is now a completely different dog. Aint that a funny thing? I think not.......I will elaborate more about this subject in the other post I am working on. Its a doozy but very entertaining yet sad.

We had 2 finalized adoptions this week and one more possibly next week. Pretty much the status qua. Nothing for a month and then BAM, one, two, three in a row. These two adoption placements are just a perfect fit all around. These beagles are going to live like kings and have truly found their forever homes. They definitely deserve that after what they both were forced to go through this week. Again for the other post.

I also am pleased to say that my son's football team ended their season today UNDEFEATED. I am so proud of him and all of his teammates. These boys worked hard and tirelessly and thankfully their efforts paid off. If ever there was a perfect tiny mite team, it was this one. We celebrated with a fun party at a local amusement center where games, go karts, golf, pizza and cupcakes were had. I am a very proud wife and mother today. My husband did a fantastic job coaching these kids on defense. He may be the bestest Daddy out there.

I am also relieved to have a little break before we go right into flag football in a few weeks. Tomorrow, we are celebrating by our yearly trip to Disney World for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party followed by a trip to Sea World on Monday for Spooktacular. We will spend time having a fun as a family. We are also very excited to spend Halloween with our church for some trunk or treating. Good times!

We are going to have us one heck of a time next week all around. I am anxious to see where my husband is whisking me away to for our anniversary. Do I NOT have the most wonderful man on the planet? I do, I do.....

⁴ In your majesty ride forth victoriously
in behalf of truth, humility and righteousness;
let your right hand display awesome deeds.
