April 1st?

So if I suddenly go *POOF* and cease to exist in cyber-land you know I fell victim
to the nefarious 'Cornficker' worm.

Hide your women, children and laptops folks. Lock your doors and draw the curtains.

I hope to still be here, un-infected on April 02/09.

Fare thee well my friends, and I'll see you on the 'other side'

Thanks for the memories :)

{and if I am infected....I'm stealing all your banking information} Mua-hahaha!

Family Day

I had my first Sunday off in a while and the weather was beautiful so we headed out to the beach.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words..


Little J and Tahoe in the car



At the beach

Stop taking my picture Mom!
















Tuckered out and heading home



And a treat.. the elusive Mama J caught on camera

Mom Does Not Approve.

First words out of my Mom's mouth today "What the hell happened to your hair?"

Followed by "Oh my God you got a dog! Are you crazy"? Gee thanks Mom....

And you wonder why months go by before I invite you over? {and drink copious amounts of alcohol when you get here}

Dear Husband Part 3

Dear Husband,

DO NOT put the dog's shampoo in the same place mine is. I will end up using it.
Should you do this again I will be forced to put the tube of Prep-H in your toothpaste holder.

My coat is nice and shiny and my head smells like a Milk Bone.


Sincerely,

Your Dog-er..Wife.

And this is why.....

......God makes puppies, kittens and babies so damn cute. It's so you don't try to stuff them in a closet.

Never having had a puppy before I really had no idea what lay in store for me.
It can't be harder than a baby right? Right?

Wrong!!

Holy crapola this little fur-ball has me working hard. Up every 2 hours to let her out to pee. Standing in the dark backyard, plastic bag in hand calling "Go poops Tahoe, go poops" at 5am in the pouring rain is not my idea of a good time.

She gets so excited when let out of the kitchen that she promptly pees on the hardwood floors, even if she was just outside. She does understand that in the kitchen she she pees on the pad...the pads are exactly like the ones they use in the hospital after surgery etc. Sheesh, had I known that 5 years after having my c-section that I might need some of those pads, I would have 'borrowed' some. {yes I am a packrat}

At least I can finally use the baby-gate we got as a shower present 5 years ago. Not having stairs we never needed it till now.

The 2 previous furry rulers of the household are not liking the new addition. The Boys have been bug-eyed and puffed-up for days now. And what is it with cats moving in s.l.o.w. m.o.t.i.o.n. when they are freaked out? Do they think they become invisible? Of course puppy wants to play when she sees them and bounds up, a wriggling bundle of energy, and wonders why the cats are no so receptive. Soon enough she'll get the idea that a hissing kitty does not want to play.

But oh my goodness... she is adorable and sweet. Big J had already taught her to sit. And she does..every single time. My dog is a genius.

We have introduced to the neighbours dogs. One is a 4 month old pittbull who is very nice and the other one is some sort of black dog that looks like a hairy pig. They all play quite well together.

Tahoe also had a half-brother in the neighbourhood who is 6 months older. Same dad different moms. I noticed the other dog at the school yard and started chit-chatting with the owner. Turns out we got the dogs from the same breeder.

If you have made it this far in my puppy-love induced rambling...I will reward you with some pictures. :)






~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My folks do not know about the puppy. I invited them to come over on Friday to help me 'work in the garden/flower beds'. My mom is going to shit her pants. Maybe Tahoe will pee on her. I shoud be so lucky.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I just finished waxing the hardwoods...poor puppy gets ZERO traction now and just sort of collapses on the floor. And then she looks up at you with the "WTF?" look and whimpers. That will teach her for peeing on my floor. :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Little J is 'helping' Big J build a doghouse. I hear yelling {Big J} and crying {Little J}. I think it's going well.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The neighbours pig/dog won't go home. He's been watching me eat dinner for 20mins.
It creeps me out

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am still here.....

I know I haven't posted in days. And I know you are all anxiously awaiting something new and exciting from me {perhaps not but it makes me feel better to think so!}

Between Tahoe keeping me up all night, working a crazy schedule this week, a session of barfing in the bathroom, and a host of other things, I have had no time. I haven't had a chance to read anyones blog either. Hell, I can't remember if I brushed my teeth lately.


*this is the point where you all say "Oh you poor girl! Go home sick from work today, leave little J at daycare, put the puppy in the shed, take a large amount of Pepto-Bismal and go to bed!*


Did I mention the blinding headache and other 'womanly' ailments?

*sigh*


//end pity-party rant


Have a wonderful Wednesday!

It's a Girl!

This is why I haven't posted all weekend!







Isn't she just the cutest thing EVER!?!?

Her name is Tahoe-Girl. {Lake} Tahoe is a special place for us as Big J was conceived there, his sister got married there, we got married there and Little J was conceived there during our honeymoon. :)

I know less about puppies than I did about babies so this should be interesting.

Big Kitty and Freaky Kitty are not pleased with the new addition to the family. I'm hoping they'll get over their hissy fit soon.
