Puppies Playing

This is the craziness I live with daily.

For the most part, Peanut bites Kodi's tail as it is the only thing she can get her mouth around.

However, not caught on video, is when Peanut (much to Kodi's surprise) found something else she could bite.

J's first day of grade 6

Peanut's Halloween outfit - I love Dollarama!

I think it was supposed to be for a teddy bear

Her new fall outfit

She seems a little too happy in this one to

me - looks a lil demonic doncha think?
I bought Peanut an extra long leash for the backyard,
because we do not have a gate, and I don't want her getting out.
Instead of running wild, she decided to just eat it and tangle herself up.

Do you come here often?Ah ya ...that's the spot

Skooch just a lil closer so I can bite you

At one point she actually got his ear and pulled it into her crate

Hey buddy, talka me buddy...

Been a long time

I apologize about not blogging for so long. But as I mentioned, I got a new puppy. I have done this before - get a new puppy, but I think it is like giving birth, once it is over, you forget all the pain....until the next time.

I asked my DH to buy her a stuffy to cuddle - this is what he got.
It is twice her size! She still mauls it and falls asleep on it regularly.

Actually, I think having a real baby might have been easier, I mean I would still have to get up at 2am, but wouldn't have to cart a newborn into the rain soaked backyard in my jammies to do its business. And eventually with a child, they grow up and you can make them do stuff, like take out the garbage or grab you a pop. Can't get a dog to do those things. However, a dog doesn't talk back as often and you can leave them at home easier.

Dinner time

Trying to hide in the grass

So Peanut is sleeping through the night...if I sleep with her...in the guest bed. Not a good solution.
Last night we put her in a large Rubbermaid tote (no lid - I'm not cruel) next to J's bed. She slept until 4am and then when J put his hand in to pet her back to sleep, she decided she would rather play with him. So again I ended up in the guest bed with her. We will get through this eventually. She has a crate that she sleeps in during the day no problem. But I think Kodi keeps her awake at night so she doesn't like to sleep there then. Once she is house trained I will let her sleep with J in his bed.

Cuddling with J on the couch

Asleep in a box in my office

I have managed (while she naps) to get a bit of sewing done. The 2nd baby quilt top is finished. Now I have to sandwich it and start the actual quilting of it. I have a week and a half until the baby shower.


I was at a family BBQ this weekend and my sister H mentioned that she and some of her co-workers at Telus read my blog occasionally.

So hey you guys why aren't you commenting?

Start commenting or I will tell your boss that you are surfing the net during work hours - cause you know I have never done that :D

In other news, one of my son's fish had babies AGAIN! We caught 24! this time. Did I mention the male fish died about a month ago? Did I also mention that the female saves the sperm to fertilize herself? Ya...both females still look pregnant so I wouldn't be surprised if we find more someday soon. I have no idea what we are going to do with them all. We now have approx. 40 fry, 14 that are about 3 weeks old, and 24 that are a few days old.

You can see the size difference here

And here - getting crowded in there!

That's all I have for now - I hope it won't be so long until my next post - who knew puppies could be so much work....oh ya I did. DUH.

Been busy - here is why

We have a new family member.

Her name is Peanut.

Peanut is an 11wk old Boston terrier.

She is adorable. She loves J.


At first, Peanut isn't too sure of Kodi.

But then she decides she kinda likes him - just keep him a little ways away. Kodi likes Peanut - he really wants to play with her, but is a little too rambunctious right now. He keeps trying to shake paws with her and smackin her in the face - poor pup :D

See I have been wanting a lap dog for some time now, but my friends just got an 8 wk old Boston pup 2 days ago and I fell in love with their Maggie, so.....

This is Maggie & Peanut. Peanut has the red collar and Maggie has the yellow collar. They look a lot alike but are from different breeders.


After we got Kodi, almost two years ago, I said I wouldn't get a another puppy again. Sheeesh I never learn. I haven't slept much the past couple nights. Peanut likes to be cuddled and doesn't like to be put in her crate. We are buying her a stuffy today. I used a small towel last night that I cuddled her in and that helped some.

In other news, my phone has been out since a lightning storm on Wednesday night - last week - just got it fixed today. And our beach trip on Friday? It rained. We had a couple nice hours though. I am really sick of rain.
