Catch-up

I was pondering the sort of thing I might write on here, beings my life consists of dogs and 10 year olds, and that's not all that exciting; so I thought I would start with a catch-up for those who have been away awhile.

Our family consists of our 3 spoiled puppies. Max, 10-11 year old Golden Retriever, also known as "Ol' Half Dead", who enjoys napping, barking at the fence, and then more napping. Lulu is our 3 year old yellow-lab who also enjoys barking at the fence, and anything that might involve a W-A-L-K (we have to spell that word around our house). And lastly, Rudy, the newest member of our family. He is one of Lulu's 9 puppies that we just had to keep! He's very sweet and cute and calm for a puppy (My parents also kept a puppy, MayBelle, she's crazy and hyper - we lucked out.) We have had an adventurous week with the dogs as Rudy ate a bottle containing Spray n' Wash and spent a day in the vet and is now on special meds for a burned esophagus and pneumonia (you can only imagine the puppy eyes looking up at you with a pathetic little cough). The following day Lulu went to get fixed (only one litter for us) and she is supposed to be 'taking it easy' for 10 days. On top of that she caught Kennel Cough and so we now have two pathetic coughing puppies. Max is holding strong, he hasn't woken up long enough to notice anyone is ill.

My in-laws were here this week to visit my new nephew Connor, and a little work meeting. It's always fun to have them, and their giant yellow lab Oliver (he's like having a drunk horse in the building). We really do love Ollie, he gives everybody something to laugh at and wears Rudy out fast!

We're off to another week of school, work, remodeling the bathroom, walking to school, picking a play, planning a presentation, building a vanity...sorry, it turned into a to-do list, that's life, always a million things to do!
