We kept a pug for almost 3 years for the kentucky pug rescue. She had alot of physical problems, when we first got her she only weighed 9 lbs. she had ear mites, worms 4 abcessed teeth phenomia as well as alot of other physical problems. The vet told me he didnt know if she would make it or not. But with alot of attention and lots and lots of love she now weighed 18 lbs and was pretty healthy except she had COPD. for which she took meds for.
At firat my husband wasn't very happy about keeping her but she grew on him quickly. My brother Michael passed away from cancer a year ago had taken up with her and loved her every step, even on his death bed he wanted to put her in the bed with him. He would say "I love you "to her and she would bark three times as if to say I love you.
In all the time we had her no one was ever intrested in her due to her physical problems but we loved her so much.
Then the dredded phone call..someone wanted to adopt her this person of which I must say was very kind and seemed to love her so much at first sight,wanted to pay for her. He had a dog that passed away and now he was ready to adopt another dog from the rescue.He saw her picture and said it was love at first sight.
I talked to him for awhile them had to meet him in cadiz to surrender Jamamma to him. I cried all the way back but in my heart I had a really good feeling that he was gonnna take good care of her. she would be going to work with him daily and to the doggy spa monthy, she had her own bed and would be part of a theater group in Paducah, you see he was in this group and everyone brought their dogs to every practice and they had a seat in the back row at each preformance.
So here is a praise for the people that adopt abused dogs and take great care of them. He has promised pictures often and anytime visits if I wanted.
These rescues spend alot of time and money to keep our little darlins safe and healthy. Jamamma has cost them a bundle.so thanks Steve for giving her a wonderful forever hope and Mike and I look forward to fostering yet another pug that im sure will take our hearts too.

Halloween sanity
Whewwww halloween is finally over!! it was fun but..we decided to take all the grand babies Halloween trick or treating.I am in need of zanex, Valium my sanity....was I truly crazy.
IN the south we have a thing at Halloween called trunk or treat, its where the people in the church all come to the church with candy in their trunk and all the kids come there and trick or treat. But you see that wasn't enough...noooo they wanted to trick or treat around the neighborhood.
You see two of them are ADHD and if I could bottle that energy I would put the energy drink business out of business.
They were screaming and yelling and running like manchie Indians..little hellions ha ha...
When we got home they were so hyped up on adrenaline rush as well as candy they snuck eating after being told not to eat it until we checked it.
After a church and two or three neighborhoods I was whipped!!!I have decided this is why God gives kids to young women lol. Don't get me wrong I love those kids and we did have fun.
I heard a little rhyme that one of them was singing.."trick or treat smell my feet give me something god to eat..if you don't I don't care I'll pull down your under ware..OMG I was embarrassed and had no idea how many people he told that too.
Then we get home and it starts..he got more than me, he wont let me have some, he is touching me..I don't like this kind. the boys were wrestling like WWF in the floor throwing things up in the air, the girls were fighting because she said this and he said that.....and then.....they all decided they were gonna spend the night.OMG where is the Valium, whiskey ....help me lol
Finally after about 2 hours of running wild and being told no, don't, stop, quit it, they fell asleep...finally silence and something on the tv other than sponge bob or Disney...
I had to work the next morning and had to get up at 5am... early..I was exhausted!!!! then the alarm went off so I quietly got up thinking id be real quiet and not wake them but then.......I'M thirsty I'm hungry I want some candy.I had to go to work so I woke up papaw and off to work I went..poor ol papaw good luck....

O.k. Kristy you wanted me to blog about you
According to them they were angles but the horns punched whole through their wings every day...
I would sometime keep Kristy so Tera would have someone to entertain her. but then.......
They would run and jump and scream and fight and act like caged animals. to hear Kristy tell it all this is not true lol.
Apart they were great kids but when you put the two of them togher you had DOUBLE TROUBLE!!!!!
Kristy insist that I would bribe them with candy bars if they would go to sleep and then the next day get one candybar and split it between them..now would lil ol me do that ...why no!!! they didn't need the sugar that's for sure!!! they would bounce off walls!!!!
ADD with no meds!!!!!I was the one who needed the meds Xanex Valium a stiff shot of whiskey by the time they would go to sleep.
I do recall this one incident that of course they say never happened..they were fighting not only each other but also sleep ,it was 2a.m. and by now I owe them a case of candy bars..they were NOT going to sleep!!
I thought about putting some benydryl in the koolaid but would lil ol me do that? of course not!!
I would be the one that would get caught and go to jail, just kidding I would never have done that but I cannot say it didn't cross my mind! but I'm not guilty!!.they would get out of bed 100 times to pee or to tell me they love me..yea right!
Finally about 2am they are exhausted and finally...asleep..whewwwww I am mentally exhausted not to mention worn out form chasing them and cleaning up after them.I have a date the next day so I decide that before I pass out I will put some sponge curlers in my hair( it was long then)so I would look ravishing the next day for my date. finally quiet has fallen upon my house...wow quiet!! so I fall asleep on the couch only to wake up the next morning at 6am to cold scissors on my scalp, clipping the three top sponge curlers off of my head..scalped I jump up only to find my pretty curled hair wrapped nice and neat around the curler laying on the carpet..I am scalped right down the middle of my head all the way to my scalp..at this time Tera is snickering saying Mommy I cut your hair for you>>>OMG needless to say I got a new very short hair cut to try to fix the damage that my darling daughter and niece gave me.
Now they are grown and have children of their own..Kristy and Tera still have a different perspective to how they were so lovely raised.
Now .....
Tera will call me on the phone in a frenzy about how her daughter is driving her crazy..she wont listen, she doesn't want to do her homework...on and on (not my grand daughter she is a very good child)and Kristy will call my sister Jacki and say"Jacob is driving me crazy!! he has a smart mouth he wont do what I ask without a fight...lovingly we just snicker and say the famous words of our dad Melvin Hammers " Yea your thought i didn't know didn't ya? I just wanted you to think you were smarter than me.... bye!!!"I told you one day you will get paid back........snickering is all mine now!!!!

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT KONYA WEST BEHAVIOR ON THE MUSIC AWARDS
Taylor Swift handled that situation wiht dignity and pride, to be so excited about getting a video award of the year award, then be belittled by Konya west was awful.
He came out of the stands and took the mic out of Taylors hand and told her that benonyce's video was better than hers.
I dont fell he should be able to attend and award shows anymore.
On Jay Leno last night Jay made konya feel really bad, he told him that he had the pleasure of meeting his mother before she died and what would his mother think about his red crude and socially unacceptional behavior, Konya wanted to say he was sorry and had the nerve to act like he was gonna cry.thankfully beonyce gave Taylor her few mminutes of fame and took the fam off of herself. go Benonyce...what a classy woman .....

Prayer in school
What do yall think about prayer in school? I was raised that you say a belssing before you eat..Now in this day and age, you better do it very quietly or even in your head.
When I was in school, school was God based. We were taught about morals and about bibles, there were even religious classes that you could attend.
Now our generation of children are forbid to praise God in school,pray or even have a bible with them.
what has this world come to.When I grew up we played outside untill mamma made us come in, at times wishing we dint have to come in then.We found things to do with friends other than drugs and gangs and plotting things to do to people.
We were happy, rolled in the dirt many times, played and I remember my grampa even eating the mud pies we made.
Now everything is calorie counted and artificially sweetened, my grandpa would of loved for us to put some sugar on those mud pies to help the taste, much less the rocks.
Our children are encouraged to get into youth group with a religion base rather than get into the gangs.
we had junior achievement and other things to do.
we taught bible school to the little ones and that was fun.
We didn't have video games much less ones that are all about gangs and killing or blowing up things
We invited people to bible school and sometimes talked about what a good time we had at school the nextday at school.
Now our children can't pray,bless their food, read a bible at school and are taught that these things are bad.
When the lord finally calls me home I will be proud to say a blessing and talk about the bible.
I am not afraid to do that now.
Now our children are told that those kind of people are bible thumps and that is forbid in our school.
Suppose we had another comberbine at out schools, don't you think those poor children that were being shot and killed were praying for help.
That is the time that we need God and our schools to pray for those that were so unjustly shot at and killed.Lives taken for something stupid.....And those that sell drugs at school to make an easy dollar at another students expense as well as lives.
So tell me what do you think about the presidents NO PRAYER IN SCHOOL thing?
I will teach my children as well as my grandchildren to pray even if it has to be silent in their head or at a brisk whisper.............Patti

its hard to believe
Its hard to believe that all my brothers life is written in a check. I miss him so much but I am honered to have had him for as long as I did. He made me relize that my life isnt bad at all and I should be happy for all that God has given me. He made me relize that you can be gone in a winkof an eye, when God is ready for you its your turn and oh how I look forward to that day, just a little bummed today
