Today is a wonderful day. Today is my husband's birthday. Bill and I have been with each other for over 50 years now. He's been my only boyfriend and me his only girlfriend. He's the most wonderful man that God has created and I cannot say enough how loving he is. His favorite hobby is to go fly fishing. And his next favorite hobby of course is dalmatians. Over the years our love for each other has gotten stronger and the only person I can thank for him is the Almighty God. He brought him to me in his own precious hands and thank you for him God.

Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 Bill. I will love you forever

We're having such a nice time today at the Hagerstown Raceway it's awesome I love drag racing.
Specially Mustangs that's my favorite. Always wanted one. I used to have an 85 Mustang GT... it was awesome. And let me tell you we could beat a lot of cars on the road LOL

It's a very foggy day this morning. But I'll take the moisture anyway we can get it....LOL We've had such a horrible drought.

Last night it rained a little bit with a thunderstorm that we got, the temperatures have been in the 90°'s again. It's supposed to change this weekend and drop into the mid-70°'s.

Thought I'd post some pictures of our yard. Been working hard on getting new rose bushes put in. We had some from last year but they all died from the drought, so cross your fingers these don't.

Bill is working on our deck replacing some old boards. some of our doggies are out here on the porch just sitting here with him.

24/08/2024

We have some great news to tell all of you.

There is a good possibility that one of Melody's babies will be going to Germany!!!.

I can't tell you how proud we are to see our dogs being sent to another country.

This will be our second one now that has gone to Europe.

We have to wait it out and see if Melody does in fact conceive, and there's a lot of scenarios that have to be worked out first, but if our ducks are all in a row, it might work out!!! so follow our page and we will keep everybody posted if it does in fact happen. Wish us luck.!!

Oh and it would be a little liver girl, long coat that would be going.

I also have a possibility of one more slot open on the waiting list for her litter. So if you are interested in being added, please message Muddy Pawz Dalmatians with any questions.

**This would be the final slot open.**

23/08/2024

It's bath time. All aboard!!!!

23/08/2024

Today it's supposed to be a high of 82° I love this time of year.. when the temperature start to drop and you can feel fall in the air. And then comes the first snow. For the last 2 years we really haven't gotten very much snow so I'm kind of looking forward to seeing a nice snow storm. We will be having a litter of puppies from Melody around the cold time. It's hard to take care of them when it's colder outside. In the summer we can take them out to our deck and let them run around and play but when it's cold they can only play in the kitchen, but I'm still looking forward to these babies. Melody and Jack make the most adorable little puppies. These pictures are my favorite of the ones that I took of her last litter... I love the liver babies. We call them brownnosers LOL

And as I posted prior these puppies will be able to go home just around Christmas time. Please feel free to message Muddy Pawz Dalmatians if you are interested in one of the babies.

I have to post this beautiful little picture of zelda. Cecily just found it and sent it to me she was such a cute puppy.

19/08/2024

The time had come to let our Zelda go. She is no longer suffering. And she's with God and all of the other wonderful dogs we've had.

I want to remember her as the things that she has done joyful and kind of crazy because that's what she was joyful and crazy.

When Zelda was about a year old, she used to drive us crazy with the things that she would put in her mouth. She was actually worse as an adult dog then she was a puppy with taking things and eating them.

The first incident that we had with Zelda, was when she was over my daughter, Cecily's house. Cecily was doggy sitting for us. My daughter let Zelda out to go to the bathroom. About 15-20 minutes later she went to let her back in, when, she saw that Zelda had dug a huge hole!!!! Of course she was scolded for doing it and my daughter went out there and filled the hole in and brought Zelda into the house.

That night we went and picked her up....and when we got her home she was acting very strange. She was rolling over a lot and stretching her front legs out . Like as if she had a stomach ache . Long story short she had found something in the hole and ate it and blocked her intestines to the point of having to have surgery. The vet said that she had eaten a piece of rubber of some sort. He said that it kind of looked like a piece of a crutch.

The next incident was when she went into our other dogs crate (Keebler's) and pulled out a bone that we had given him. Zelda was a very jealous dog....and if she wasn't that Center of attention, or wasn't getting her way she would do things like this. Anyway again she took the bone and swallowed it whole and blocked her intestines for the second time. And again surgery had to be done to save her life.

About a year later she more or less did the same thing but it was in Pepper's crate.... this time it was one of Pepper's chew toys that he used to just lay next to... he never chewed on it he would just put it in his mouth and just lay there with it. Well that wasn't good enough for Zelda LOL .....she wanted it so she took it and tore it up!! she actually ate the squeaky part of it whole and blocked her intestines for the Third time! $1,000 later we saved her life again!!! Our vet told us (kidding of course) that we should put a zipper in your stomach. So now you think this is the end??? NOPE!!! she did it A fourth time. This time it was a pork roll Packaging. Sneaky Zelda had got into the garbage out in our garage and swallowed the packaging WHOLE, and wrapped it right around her intestines. The worst part about this, is that she was pregnant for puppies and was due that following week. We had to rush her to the vets and she had to have emergency surgery and an emergency c-section. She ended up having * if I remember correctly* two puppies and two that passed. And sadly we had to have her spayed, because she had so many surgical procedures and scar tissue that the vet suggested that she not have any more puppies.

That was fine with us because we thought that it would be best for her anyway because she was a crazy mommy. She actually delivered puppies on her back LOL.

So as you can see from our story that Zelda was a crazy girl. She kept us going.... let me tell you. she's never stopped. But I don't think that I would want it any other way because she was the most wonderful dog that we've had. She was one of our Muddy Pawz original pack.

The original pack of Muddy Pawz Dalmatians was: FRECKLES, PEPPER, KEEBLER, ZELDA, MISSY, CPT. MORGAN & SHELBY.

The only one that is still alive from the original pack now is Shelby.
I hope that we don't see her pass for a while.

All of the other dogs that we NOW have, were added to the pack later. "They will keep the legacy going,"

Zelda had so much love to give.... and she was a true buddy of Shelby's. You always would see Shelby and Zelda together. Zelda would lay with her, sit with her.... and sometimes even on top of her LOL she also sat on top of Missy... as you will see in the picture that I have posted.

I can't tell you how much we loved her. She was our liver girl.

We will miss you so much, Zel Zel... you were part of our life, which you have now left... As I'm writing this, I'm crying with a broken heart.

You have fun, precious girl.... up there with Pepper, Freckles, Keebler, Missy, and our Captain Morgan.

Run free, baby girl.... Run free...

So Bill and I have decided that we are going to go on another cruise!

It's to go to the Bahamas and Coco Cay again, but we don't mind. We stay on the ship most of the time anyway.... we enjoy the ship more than the destination. It's only a couple of weeks away, and I'm very nervous....because every time that we go away Tracey comes up with some kind of crazy idea to do in our house.

The last time she took 175 ducks and put them all over my house!! ***I'm still finding them***.. and oh we cant forget the LOBSTER!!! It was casually placed in my bathtub.

The time before that it was goldfish in my drinking glasses.

A couple years before that she went and casually took things from the house and the yard. She did it sporadically so that I wouldn't notice the things missing. Then regifted them and gave them to me for that Christmas..

She definitely entertains me that's for sure!! But .....she makes me very nervous, I have no idea what I'm in for, even if we leave for a couple of days. I don't like asking her to be a house sitter anymore LOL!!!

Sean and Bradley are going to be taking care of our dogs while we're away. But that does not guarantee that she won't still do something. As a matter of fact the Grandkids have been getting involved and doing it with her now!

**I have no chance in hell**

Wish us luck on this Cruise and hope and pray that we don't come home to a live alligator in the fish pond or some kind of crazy species in our backyard.

We have decided that we are going to attempt to breed Melody and jack. We have had some inquiries and have started a waiting list for them. She is in heat right now so the puppies would be born on or about early november. They would be able to go home maybe even around Christmas time depending on when they are born.

All of her puppies will be AKC registered, long coats, and all of them will be LUA

These two make such beautiful little babies. We can't wait to see them.

16/08/2024

Last call for Melody and Jack's puppies. Melody is now in heat and if we get enough response we will have a litter of puppies so please message Muddy Pawz Dalmatians if you are interested in one of her puppies

15/08/2024

Need some puppy pictures....it makes everybody HAPPY!!!

15/08/2024

I just want to let everyone know that, sadly, Zelda is not doing well. I wonder if she taking off like she did and ended up going down the end of the Hill might have been her way of saying that she wanted to go away and die.

I know that's a terrible thing to think about but, a lot of dogs and cats will do that. She was very active that day but ever since then she's been failing.

She's not eating, and when she's going the bathroom her waist is full of blood. I'm just devastated right now and I don't know what to do. She"s still going outside with the dogs and she's still walking around, but I think that she's in pain now, because she's not eating ANYTHING.....

I think that the decision is going to have to be made soon. We are heartbroken.

Bill & I hoped that she would live till she was 15... I really do think she did it for us. No one can tell me a dog cannot understand what you're saying. She knew how much we wanted her to make it to her birthday. I think that God has made the decision that it's time to let her go.

I don't know which is worse seeing your dog being able to be still active but failing internally, or seeing your dog not active and failing by their legs not working. She's still walking and showing as if she's strong enough to live. But you can't live without eating.

I totally love this everybody is sending me updated pictures of their puppies and letting me post them for all of you guys to see.

This is Natalie's baby her name is Sorrento.....
* NOW KONA*

Natalie wanted me to share this with you:

Kona is from Candy and Sherman's litter. She is VERY active and loves to play. Her favorite activities are finding sticks, playing with the neighbors dogs, and stealing our socks. Her favorite snacks are hot dogs and cheese. She keeps us active and we love her more and more every day!

I don't think that there's ever a dull moment at Muddy Pawz Dalmatians ! Today it was just another typical crazy day!!!

I think that last week I had mentioned that we had some water damage that occurred in our backyard. Basically nothing to the house but a lot of landscaping damage.... Well the workers came today to start to excavate and to clean it all up. They had to have the garage door open because they were taking stones out of our yard that had washed away and putting them in a dump truck to get rid of them for us.

Zelda was out in the yard and then came into the garage and was laying down. I went out there a couple of minutes later to check on her and she was sleeping on the bed that we have out there for her to lay on. When she's outside she gets tired and she will go into the garage and lay down. (And no she does not stay in there all the time)

I went into the kitchen through the garage door and was doing things around the kitchen. I went back out to check on her and she wasn't in her bed. So now I started to panic. I went to the workers and I asked if they saw the dog and they said that they saw her in the front yard. So I go out there and no Zelda! I had no idea where she ended up. Now I'm really starting to get upset. So I get in my car and I drive down the street to see if I can find her. And a girl met me on the side of the road with her car telling me that she saw a Dalmatian down at the end of the hill and asked me if that was my dog. And of course it was so she told me about where she was and I went speeding down the hill to go get her. Now keep in mind that Zelda is 15 years old and doesn't do much walking when she does she starts to get tired and will go into the bed and sleep. I Found her a good half mile down the street and she was in one of my neighbors backyard. I can't tell you how upset I was. But thank God we did find her.

We brought her back in the car and she's now laying in her bed in the kitchen. I can't even imagine how exhausted she is. But apparently she's still a trooper and still going at 15!!!!

ZELDA YOU AMAZE ME!!!

Another posting that I would like to share with you guys of our pups as they grow.

These two cuties are from Candy's last litter.. the litter that was named after cars.
Their names are Blazer and Chanel... they only changed the one name from Chevelle to Chanel. Kyle was nice enough to text me and let me know how good they're doing and also to thank me for giving him the opportunity to have pups from us.

That makes me feel so good

12/08/2024

I just wanted to let you know that Josh "Marshmallow's **now Tilly** Daddy..texted me to tell me that she's doing great!

He said that she had a vet visit and everything went well. No issues, no parasites found in her f***l sample etc.

She's gotten really used to the house, which is great. She's been going to the back door and sitting patiently waiting to be let out to go potty and she only needs to get up once a night to go to the bathroom.

Josh has been taking her out to the mall to socialize her and get used to lots of different smells and sounds and she's doing really well. Everywhere he goes we get "Oh my God it's a Dalmatian!" She definitely turns heads.

He took her to a dog trainer for her first session last Friday and she did really well. She's learning a lot of different commands - he said she's really really smart. (of course... we knew that! LOL)The dog trainer said she's a really confident puppy and to nurture that.

Here are some photos.

I don't usually post things regarding politics because my opinion is just my opinion and it doesn't mean much. But I think most of us agree with this. Biden should have left the race a long time ago. Should not have even been our president he was not of good health. Without saying too much and getting people all in an uproar, this man has made a mockery of the United States.

I found this on NewsBreak: President Joe Biden confirms he was pushed out of the race by top Democrats who apparently staged a coup on him.“But what happened was a number of my Democratic colleagues in the house and Senate thought that I was gonna hurt them in the races.”The statement coincides with what journalist Seymour Hersh suggested when he reported that Barack Obama threatened Biden with the 25th Amendment, saying he had "Kamala's approval" to force him out of the race.Hersh said Obama was "deeply involved.”
