Puppy play time

Saturday, May 16th, 2009

Every Saturday Petco holds Puppy play time. We went and it took us 36 minutes to get “warmed up” then this happened:

pptWe got in a tug of war contest with a 3 month old puppy. It’s cool how she knew the dog she was playing with was young and didn’t pull as hard as she could. That little puppy had a lot of energy in him. Near the end of the hour most of the dogs where laying down relaxing and that little puppy was still running around barking.

Notice anything different? I slightly modified the default template that comes with word press to come up with this. I think I’m going to come up with a few more themes and then make them available for download.

Spring in SD

dscf0013After a winter that included 3 blizzards in 2 weeks and record snowfall it’s nice to have to cut the grass again. When we first moved into our house there was no landscaping. The flowerbeds looked like no one had done anything to them for a few years and the yard was full of weeds. Seeing as flowers are cheap we decided to hook things up last year. The “flowerbeds” were just red rocks with lots of grass and weeds growing up and red brick dividers that were laying on the ground. My wife started picking up the red rocks while I was deployed but was over whelmed and gave up until I got home to help. We pretty much ripped it all up and reburied the red brick divider straight. I really wish I would have taken a picture to give you a good before and after shot. So then we planted three flowers to finish it up. Now this year we added 2 more plants and our nice neighbors hooked us up with some mulch. Today while at walmart shopping for a tomato plant we spotted some of those solar powered garden lights. Usually I think these are cheap but these appear to be nice and if they aren’t rest assured Walmart will get them back.

New puppy

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

So about a month ago my wife called me from school and asked it we could dog sit for a week. She said please please pleasNorae and promised me the dog would not eat my cat. I agreed because I enjoy dog sitting. It’s like being a grandparent (I guess). You get to have a dog for a little then send it on its way. As it turns out this dog is super cool, super nice, and a lot of fun. She likes people A LOT. Right now she is sitting by my feet. Now you may be wondering why I still have this puppy after a month. The owner of this puppy decided she liked not having the dog around and didn’t want her anymore. I couldn’t very well let this dog go to the humane society. So we took her. She didn’t get much attention from her past family. We gave her a bath and the tub was covered in hair when we got done. Then we switched her to a food that doesn’t have byproduct in it. Her food was so gross our cat didn’t eat it. Every time I went to pet her she would have an accident on the floor she was so happy. She is finally over all that. She is strong and fast. Only two problems to note, she digs in the yard and pulls on the leash but oh well! enjoy the pic of her!

Okay just installed wordpress. I gave up on writing my own blogging software myself. I don’t have the time for that, it was going no where :(. So now I have to convert my old layout (you can still see it here) to a wordpress theme. That shouldn’t take to long.
