Grandma's House

The groomer that our pup (now pups) go to is near my parents' house in Walnut. Before there was only Kirin, but now there are two! Thankfully, my mom is still gracious enough to keep them overnight so off to Grandmother’s house we went! (It’s really Grandparent’s house, but that’s not a saying!) We tried out the dog seat belts on the way there and despite their cries and whimpering the ENTIRE way there, we made it! (I guess maybe we can use it as practice for future kids??) Sorry in advance for all the blurry pictures, they were running around really fast!

Man up

 

We got new harnesses for the pups in an attempt to make them not look so girly for Jason's sake. Little white fluffballs wearing bright pink heart vests was getting to be a little much even for me, and that's saying something!

This past weekend

Meet Sofi

We've debated a couple times in the past about getting another pup. We started with one, had two, then had one again and weren't entirely sure if the one would appreciate some company. We've looked at www.petfinder.com many times, but I think we were always afraid to actually go for it. Recently, Jason found out one of his friends wanted to give away her pup because she didn't feel she had time for her. We found out she was six years old, which would mean she would be older than our current pup, so initially I really wasn't sure about "adopting" a somewhat older pup. We threw the idea around, he met the pup, fell in love, arranged for us to meet today, I fell in love and here we are.

Bits + Pieces

1. Homemade chili seasoning mix

2. We like whiskey.

3. It's nice when you get the things you meant to do weeks ago done

4. Homemade chili for work chili cook off! (I lost :[ but came in second!)

5. Thoughtful pup

6. The husband won an award at his quarterly meeting. The pup and I couldn't be prouder.

Las Vegas = Family

When I met Jason, the thought of "going to Vegas" changed completely. Jason was born and raised in Vegas and a lot of his family is still there. Going to Vegas now means seeing and spending time with family. After experiencing Vegas as many people who don't live in Vegas see Vegas, I like it a lot better now.

"Those" in the title needs to be in italics. Our pup sling is here! Time to go hiking!

A Day At the Beach

This warm January weather got us thinking about an outdoor activity to do with our bug. After much debate between hiking or the dog beach, we settled on the dog beach since we are still waiting for her pup sling. (I know, I know...we're one of those people). Since she's so small, about five pounds, we really don't think she'll be able to make a hike the whole way. Add in the fact that she already has joint problems, it's best to be able to carry her when necessary! Trying to keep her happy and healthy is the main goal. Back to the beach, she seemed to have had fun. Chasing after dogs much bigger than herself, going over and visiting other people's blankets, sitting on people's backs, and probably the fact that Jason didn't dunk her like he said he would was on added bonus. This warm weather is a little unusual for January, even in California, but was much welcomed after the cold weather we've been having lately.

Testing out the new blog...the purpose of this will be to keep in touch with all of our family throughout our journey through life together. Hopefully, it turns out to be interesting and not lame and boring!

Stay tuned!
