October 10

Since I couldn't take them apple/pumpkin picking, I figured we would go to the beach for a little bit. Dylynn of course got wet up to her thighs. I also thought maybe we could tire the dog out. The beach didn't work, but she had a playdate with my neighbors dog after that. Now she is asleep.

October 9

Caught red handed! Not that she is chewing up stuff or anything, but that is the stuffing from a comforter hanging out of her mouth.

October 8

The gnomes on my counter must have a pet. I am sure these are wine stains, but why are they in the shape of a paw print???

October 7

Our own personal greeter. This is the face you see when you come to my house. She has to look out the window when she hears something outside. She has figured out how to get on the ottoman and peek - and make sure the blinds are out of her way. She sits there when we leave for school too. She doesn't bark though, she is just nosy!!

October 4

Did I ask for help loading the dish washer??? No, but that doesn't mean I won't get it. Of course not from the two legged kids - heaven forbid they take a dish off the table, let alone rinse it and put it in the dishwasher!! Pepper will help me though, weather I need it or not!!

October 3

OMG!!! She has mule ears. When she stands her ears up they are so big. It is really funny. Hubby says they look like Dingo ears. I wish I had gotten to see the mom. I am really not so sure what she could be mixed with. What the heck kind of "Hound" had mule ears???

I guess she will grow into her ears when she grows into her feet!!

We got the dog a Halloween costume. I had to wait until she was asleep on her bear to get it on her. The first day she was having no part of it. I don't know that we will actually get the whole thing on her, but it should be funny.

September 27

I have a new helper. I was trying to make the bed, and the dog had to give a hand. Chewing on the pillows as I am putting the pillow cases on. She likes to go under the bed too and run out at you when you walk by. Looking at her paws, she won't be able to do that too much longer. I think she is going to be a good size dog.

Ashie got sent home from school today. 101 degree fever. That wasn't bad enough. We have been walking to school, so I didn't have a car. I call hubby and ask what he is doing - he has been working at my dad's house around the corner, but not today - today he is in Montauk - an hour away. Great!! Call the in laws - not home. I had to call my neighbor - who it turns out, was taking care of her girlfriend who had a 101 fever. She picked her up and ran her home for me. I get home and Ash looked so miserable. What does every great mom do at a time like this??? Take a picture. LOL!!!

What to do with this hair. Ash used to have bangs. She decided to grow them out and get long layers. Well, that's all well and good, but her hair now hangs in her face all of the time. She isn't so good at taking care of her hair, so I am lucky if it gets brushed. I have to tell her to put a headband on. Hair hanging in my face makes me crazy, I couldn't live like this!! I need to figure out what to do with it. I really don't want her to get bangs again!

September 20

Karate testing today. Ony Dylynn tested. Ashlyn helped out - she is going to start training to be a Junior Instructor. Since she was helping out, the instructor let her present Dyl with her next belt. Of course there was carrying on - Ashie had to make sure it was really tight and of course there was some pushing between the two. Heaven forbid they act like nice loving sisters!!

September 15

Getting comfy!! She loves to sleep in "the chair" I personally can't stand this chair, but the dog loves it. She can't get up in it herself yet, but somehow she is always up there. Yes, we are all guilty of tossing her up there. I know sometimes I have to use the bathroom and I figure if she is up there, she won't pee or poop - I am safe for a few minutes!!

September 14

What to do with the old booster seats???

Why, leave them in the living room so the puppy can use them as base, of course. If you throw her something she will come back with it, but she has to go sit on the booster seat - then she will drop it, but she has to be there first.
