Pool Time with Violet

With Summer in full swing and access to multiple family pools, we decided to get Violet a life vest so we could teach her to swim. We tried without a vest and she just sunk like a stone since her legs don't move fast enough to keep her afloat. The vest was a success!! Here a couple of videos of her in action. We think she definately enjoyed it. After we took her out she would walk to the edge of the pool like she wanted to go back in :-)

Our Protector

A few weeks ago I was making dinner while Violet played with the free flip flops I got at the nail salon the day before. A couple of our neighbors dogs were barking and they caught Violet's attention. She must have been trying to protect her mom...although that didn't last long since flip flops are one of her favorite things.

It's Been Awhile....

It's been awhile since our last post and A LOT has happened with our little Miss Violet. We've had many ups and downs but we've made it through with tears, arguments, lots of pug kisses and curly tail wagging. I think I've gained more patience then I ever thought I could possess and I have amazed myself. We keep saying our prayers that Violet will soon be an "almost" normal pooch. We for sure aren't perfect so why would we expect her to be!!! All we know is that she is one of the cutest puppies to have ever walked the planet.
