Miley had Twins!

Last week, I told you all about Miley being Pregnant; and today she had them  (Congrats, Miley)!

I am a little worried though because she has only had 2, Twins (lol)!

This is not typical for a Rottweiler according to the vet *(and from what I have experienced with another Rottie), but not to say it couldn't happen; however, it could be possible that she's not done and could have some more still.

As of now we have 2 puppies.. a boy (which came first @ 10: 47 am) and a girl (came @ 11:50).  Hard to tell if they will resemble her or not considering she was knocked-up by a stray (this still irritates me, lol).  They both appear to be solid black; however, I have not handled them much.

I have been a little worried about her though... I hope that she has delivered all she needs too or that her body is just taking it's time (like our's do sometimes) and she isn't having and trouble!

Have you ever experienced this or know someone that has?  i would love to hear that everything was alright in your case; or know if I need to be taking other actions!

Thanks for any feedback!!!

OMG, Miley's Pregnant!!

We've confirmed over the past few weeks that our Miley is indeed pregnant, even though we were praying she wasn't!  She's expected to go around April 2nd - the 8th according to some estimates I have seen;  however, 9 weeks lands on the 2nd so I guess we will have to wait and see!

She is starting to lay around and is obviously miserable!  I can relate to that, because when I was pregnant I was the same way... Not saying humans and dogs pregnancies are that similar (lol). 

I feel bad for her in a way, she looks so sad!  

I'm hoping that she has them soon, but not too many!  Our first Rottie Lady had 13 her first litter; and they all lived!  It was a headache keeping up with that many and trying to find a good home as well!

Our plan was to breed Miley once and have her fixed, just to help rule out Cancer; because the vet said it was good to let a female dog have at least 1 little because of this.

However, not knowing she was even in heat, she left the yard and got hung-up with a stray.. UGHHH!!  So now Miley is Pregnant and we wait to see what the puppies will look like & how many babies she will have!

I will let you all know when the big day comes and tell you all about it!

How are your finances?

This time of the year businesses are making money... It's tax time!  And for those of us who have been living paycheck-to-paycheck or struggled due to the economy all year, it is the time that we buy the things that we need or the little extra's we didn't get all year.  Which-ever it may be, or neither..  we all enjoy being able to have something we need or want when we have a little more cash!

Another Girl

Recently, I did a diaper-cake for a friend who had a beautiful baby girl!  I was sick when the Baby Shower took place; therefore, I never made it until she gave birth.  I was thrilled at the reactions from people as I carried it up to her room in the hospital.

This one was prepared in about an hour and a half, due to short timing; but I think it turned out alright, she seemed to have loved it!

My 3rd Diaper-Cake


I have to do another one next month for another little girl (wishing someone would have a boy).  This time I am going to try something completely different, sorta like the little boy one I did a while back.  I can't wait to get another chance to do something for a boy because I have seen a layered diaper-cake that I have got to do! :)  It is similar to the same this...


This is a diaper-cake a friend did as a center-piece for her cousin's shower. I thought it was rather cute!

The little boy one I seen it layered the same, but uses camo receiving blankets, cute shoes to top, and some confetti type stuff to deck-it-up...

I'll have to see if I can locate it to show you!




Another Girl Diaper-Cake, but it sure is fun creating them; and most of all knowing I gave a heart-felt gift!

A new way to add conversation to your website!



Most Social Media sites we visit offers the option to chat with our friends and/or followers... but do you have this available on your website or as a personal option?  RumbleTalk  is a hot new website that offers Chat-Room's for websites; and I found it to be a very neat and fun thing to have; so, I have decided to give it a try here!

RumbleTalk has many different themes to choose from, very stylish ones at that; and changing yours can be very simple!

I'm sure that you have noticed the floating bubble at the bottom left of the page, this is the Life Chatroom I created in a matter of minutes for Life.  Best thing is, I decided to change the theme and I did not have to change the code on this page once!  Once I saved my new theme on RumbleTalk, it automatically changed here, on Life.  If you click on the bubble, you can chat!  I love simple, how about you!



Customizing your chat options and boxes are endless... design your own custom HTML or CSS to match your site or theme or choose from already created templates.

Use Chatroom's on your website to discuss the latest, events, or base your chatbox towards the Topics your site focuses on...

Create a Educational Chatbox for eLearning, Healthcare focused conversations, Exercise, Romance, or whatever you choose..
Build your audience for whatever need you have, It is up to you!


We can chat from any device with RumbleTalk, smartphones, tables, or the PC.. we can stay connected from anywhere & at anytime; with 30 different languages to choose from!

Link with your friends on Facebook and/or Twitter; and share your favorite videos and/or images in one spot.

However, you always find someone who wants to cause drama when they can login and say whatever they choose, but RumbleTalk provides options to block users by their usernames, IP addresses, and more!

No downloads, just copy & paste the code or share a link if you do not have a website of your own.. It's up to you!

Try out the new way to conversate and let me know what you think!

Life: Life's weekly Quote: Courage

Be Courageous...

      ... This was Life's very 1st quote of the week (link.. Life's weekly Quote: Courage).  What does this mean to you?

Being Courageous can mean many things, depending on who you ask!

  • To a struggling mother who scrapes to put food on the table or clothes on her children's backs.. It could mean not allowing her children to see the fear or worry in her eyes when she looks at them.
  • To a person with cancer (or another horrible illness) it could mean being strong and believing in thier faith or not allowing the people around them to always see them in fear and pain.
  • or To a student who is dealing with troubles, not  allowing others to get the best of them and still striving through to be the best they can be.
Courage is the strength that we have within us to make it through what ever challenge we may be battling.. no matter how big or small!  Believing in ourselves enough to know that we can truly do whatever we set our minds at doing; and focusing and striving enough to make it happen!

So.. Be Courageous today, tomorrow, and the next day; and battle through your challenges like I know you can...  AND believe enough in yourself to KNOW that you can too!
