Snowy Selecky September 1992 - November 2008




Today has been kind of a sad day for me. My doggie that i had for almost 18 years passed away. I know you may think i'm crazy but he's been around for so long he really has become part of our family and brought us so much joy throughout almost my whole lifetime!


I'll never forget it i got snowy for my 7th birthday. I had been wanting a dog and my parents had been trying to put it off but my pleads for a dog kept getting bigger and bigger and more annoying finally they thought they would be tricky and get me a fake toy maltese that walked like a regular dog but the only difference it was fake. I was 7 and not dumb and i quickly realized their tricky plan and finally they gave in and decided to take me dog shopping. So that night we went to the mall (this is when dog kennels were in the mall) and looked around right away my mom saw these two white adorable puppies that resembled a cotton ball. We asked if we could go in the play room with them and we did. This was my first meeting with snowy. He was energetic, hyper and so adorable! He was so loveable that night we walked out with him in our arms and our lives were never the same after that. I will never forget how small he was...he barely fit in the palm of my daddys hand. It was like he was a little toy. Snowy was a maltese that was filled with lots of energy and had quite a little character. I rem. we decided on the name snowy because he had the most unique way he slept in a little ball like a snowball. Snowy like i said was quite a character he made us laugh with some of the crazy little things he did.


Years went by and i dressed him up in my cabbage patch clothes, he picked my clothes for school the sign was he would sniff the one i would wear lol, he ran away on few occasions under my grandparents watch, he survived hurricanes, attended all my middle school and high school parties at home, kept me company when i was bored and brought so much joy to my life. My parents always joked and said snowy was my little brother but i actually think it was true since i was an only child...whenever i was upset it was his playfulness that would make me forget about it...whenever i was lonely it was his company that made me smile...whenever i was bored he would provide hours of entertainment...he was my tv buddy (he loved cartoons!) He was a wonderful dog. I remember the day i left for college i was so sad because i thought i would never see him again but little did i know he would last 5 more years after that! When all my friends would ask what i missed about home i would say family of course but then i would say snowy...lol We say he was like a cat he had 50 lives...whenever we thought it was the end he kept coming back...he did this funny little trick where at home he would pretend to be really sick and then when we would rush him to the vet he was fine the vet would say he was in the best condition ever! lol Although i miss him entirely and wish that i could hear his little feet walk on the wood floors in my house i know it was best he gave us 18 years of our lives (almost half my life so far!) He was a wonderful pet and a great member of the family i will miss him but it was worth all the 18 yrs he spent in the selecky family! It's funny how animals can be so much apart of our lives u think their just an animal but you get so attached sometimes. I love you snowy :)

Best Trunk


well bloggers i have not posted in a very very very long time...and way to much has happened like my birthday, my getting a wii, my crazy internship, evan's birthday, my moms birthday, evan getting an iphone, clone wars coming to cartoon network, jessika getting married and many many many more things...and although i would love to cover them all in detail some things are to far away to relive again for the most part i decided since i never post anymore that i would use those things i mentioned to post everyday! So you have something intersting to read so todays blog post is about Halloween Hope Night...i'm going to be a little boastful right now so please excuse me...but i would like to mention that the best trunk at halloween hope night according to Holly Farver was my trunk!!! (and i got a cool prize for it!) yay i was excited and shocked but i did work hard with my team members to put it together. My trunk transformed itself for that night into whoville! Colorful and fun i enjoyed seeing the expression on the kids faces when they saw candy come out of hortons trunk! I also would like to be extra boastful at this moment and say that i drew everything by hand free draw except Horton (which was done by the lovely Rebecca and Amelia) i was impressed by my mad skills! But with all joking aside i had a wonderful night with the kids...it makes me think how blessed we are to have the health we have and also how something so small made a lifetime difference in those kids lives! I love it! At this moment i would like to personally thank Rebecca and Amelia for their hard work and creative assests to whoville we wouldn't of done it without you guys...ur awesome!!! Stay tuned for more blogpost guys
