Fuzzy Friday on a Thursday...

Because I will be busy as a bee this Friday and weekend I am posting a long overdue Fuzzy Friday today. Enjoy!

Every night around midnight. I log off the computer, choose a movie, and snuggle on the sofa with the dogs. Well the other night I let Jake and Cooter "choose" a movie. Cooter is a big fan of the animated holiday movies. Jake on the other hand prefers a good Will Farrell holiday comedy. :P We watched Elf that night and The Year Without Santa the next night.

Cooooooooooooter...

Cooter is very nosey. :P

Yes, I know it's Sunday but...

Okay so it's called Fuzzy Friday because I am suppose to post it on Friday. However, I got distracted and forgot it until Saturday afternoon. Then thought ooo I will post it now and maybe no one will notice. Then I discovered my camera batteries were dead dead dead. So they spent the rest of Saturday charging up. So now here we are on Sunday. :P Better late than never right?




This was taken in our outside stairwell, the door they are standing by leads into the kitchen and is the door we use all of the time to enter our house. We do have a front door but the stairs are all rotted and after watching a uninvited sales person almost fall through one of the stairs when it crumbled under his feet, yes funny story I might share later, I will not go up those stairs.

Anyway this is about the dogs so, this is what they do every time we are coming back in from playing outside. They both run up the stairs and stand there waiting ever so patiently for me to come in close the door and come up the stairs. It also usually signals feeding time so Cooter is especially excited =D.

It's Friday!!!!!

A HOT fall day...

A tad bit late...

Yes I know, It is suppose to be Fuzzy Friday, Not Tail-wagging Tuesday. But in my defense I was kinda busy on Friday with dr's appointments and what not. That and with all that excitement, I sorta, kinda, umm, forgot *blush*. So better late than never huh? And ooo Just look at it this way, you will get two Fuzzy Fridays this week!!! Two for the price of one. :P



Here are my boys enjoying one of Suz' favorite past times. :P

Doh

Been a couple weeks since I posted.. *hangs head in shame* I have no excuse other than the fact that I am lazy.. Well not totally just unmotivated I guess. Not having thyroid pills does that to ya.

Lets see where to begin. It got really really really cold a week or so ago and pipes froze and burst overnight. The laundry room downstairs looked like a lake. Well thankfully it wasn't a main line. Was just the two pipes that go into the bath and shower downstairs. So we were able to cut those off and cap them. Then turn on the water again to the rest of the house. TY Darian. YOU ROCK!!! And winter, I am really mad at you. I love you unconditionally and look what you do.. Shame on you :P lol.

I also got my passport already. I was shocked that it came so fast. Took about a month from start to finish. And it actually came to the correct address which was a nice bonus. Now if only the paperwork from Thunderbay would get here so Ed and I can go and get our marriage license.

Ed's owner operator contract with the company he was working for was not renewed. Was a bunch of office politics and the fact that he refuses to buy a brand new truck. His truck is 7 years old I believe and has not had any major breakdowns. A few minor repairs here and there sure but nothing big *knock on wood*. But he will have it paid off around August. This company does not like that. They feel that if you dont have a truck payment you won't work as hard or something. The last Ed heard they did not renew 10 owner operator contracts most of which he thinks were drivers who had older trucks.

They also came up with a new contract that was not really a good one and had 30 lease operators put in their 30 day notice. Lease Operators are this companies major income. So I am sure they are going to be hurting before long. Ed has an application in with another company. Its a smaller company but smaller can be better. He has already had a sit down meeting with this companies owner and it seemed to go well. So we are crossing our fingers, saying our prayers and keeping cautiously optimistic.

I am struggling with Cooter. I really am at my wits end. He has a week or more of really good bladder control. Will go for 2 to 3 hours before he needs to go out.. And then he will have days like yesterday and today where I am lucky if he makes it 30 minutes and he will have lots of accidents. Makes me really mad when he pees on my freshly swept and mopped floor. Then when I say NO! Bad dog! He lays down in it.. So not only do I have to re-mop the floor I have to bath him too. He is really trying my patience. Jake was such a good dog at Cooters age. I know, they are two different dogs. Just like kids you cant compare ones development to the other. But you really would think that at 5 months old Cooter would be able to hold it for longer than what he is doing.

Well enough of that. I am tired and frustrated hehe. So will just go to bed and hopefully tomorrow will be better. Gonna put two new pics of the boys.


The AWWWWWWWWWWWW FACTOR. I love him soooo much, he is so adorably cute.


Say what? Annoying but adorable. Cant help but love his innocent look when he is into mischief.

Feeling smug..

It appears that after about 2 weeks of training Cooter is house trained. I am quite proud of myself. And yes proud of the little guy as well. The first few nights after we brought him home were rough. He was waking me up every 2 hours to go outside. I was pretty exhausted and a little bit cranky. Anyone in my family will confirm that I have always enjoyed my sleep time and if I am woken up before I am ready I am very cranky. However I survived and more importantly so did Cooter. :P

Jake my 5 year old schnauzer mix has me spoiled. He is very well trained and very behaved. He lets me sleep late, knows when it's time to play and knows when it is time to rest. I got him when he was 4 months old and he was really easy to train. I didn't have many problems with him.

Cooter is a bit more difficult. He is about 2 months old and very active. But thankfully he seems really intelligent and is getting the hang of life in our house. If I could only train him to let me sleep in later than 7:30am it would be great.
