While my sister was living it up in Vegas for the last six days, we were doggy-sitting Music. He and mommy Sandy had a great time together, and it was fun having a sweet puppy in the house again (Butterball...
Last Thursday, my friend M's husband picked up Rosie to surprise M with a new puppy. Today, my former coworker C came with her brother, who took Bella home with him. And, this coming Saturday, M's brother-in-law is picking up...
B has been off from school all week, and M is off tomorrow and Monday. You'd think I'd get some sort of break on the craziness with only one kiddo to drop off at school during the week, no homework...
We went to the pet store on Saturday and purchased a new fish. We went with a blue Betta again. Brandon very creatively named him Mr. Blue Fish. No pictures yet as we've not transferred him to the fish tank....
Nemo was swimming kind of funny last night, and hubby said he wouldn't make it through the night. When we woke up this morning he was belly-up on the surface of the water. We just told Brandon, who had been...
My friend Claudia called me on Saturday and said, "Do you want a new fish?". I said, "Sure...we still have the fishtank, why not?!" She was at a church carnival and witnessed someone throw the fish, plastic bag and all,...
You might remember me mentioning that Buster the fish died on December 26th. My husband had the brilliant idea (*eyeroll*) to leave the fish tank in the kitchen, and not say anything to the boys, “to see how long it...
Finally got an oil change today. I think it was close to 10K miles since I last did one. My coworker lent me a crate for the pups, which we set up last night. Puppies slept rather well in it...
Sandy has been down all day. Brandy left for her new home yesterday around 5pm, and Sarah (or, TPFKAA*) left with her new family around 8pm. I'm sure Sandy noticed their absence as soon as they were gone, but my...
I'm finally, FINALLY over the cold that has been plaguing me since the first of the year. I have a mild, occasional cough, but the congestion and sinus discomfort is long gone. The boys are well too. Brandon got a...
I'm really annoyed that my camera is broken. Matty is doing "pipi in the potty"! No diapers in the very near future...YAY! Speaking of Matty, He loves to eat "green carrots" (celery). The puppies had their second de-worming appointment today....
Sandy and the puppies went to the vet on Tuesday morning. She's had diarrhea since Sunday night, and the puppies needed their first deworming. We think the culprit of Sandy's tummy troubles is a bag of food we bought on...
From top to bottom, Music and Rosie....
Hi all, I know it's been quiet...sorry, didn't have much chance for blogging this weekend. We took Sandy and the puppies to the vet on Friday morning. Everything is great! They gave her a calcium supplement, since she's feeding so...
Inspected the puppies today: It's a boy, and a girl, and a girl, and a girl, and a boy, and a girl, and a girl. The two boys have homes already, my grandfather and sis wanted them. Two girls have...
Hubby left Sandy outside this morning because he was scheduled to be at work all day today, and we didn't want any little surprises when we got home. Well, we got some surprises anyway...seven, to be exact. That's how many...
It's only been a month and a couple of days, and already Sandy is a full-fledged member of our family. Of course she has her little corner of the house where her doggie bed, doggie toys, and doggies dishes reside....
A sweet little girl on four legs found us and decided to keep us on Sunday. Hubby was home after working a night shift while I was at my cousin's baby shower (boys were at their grandma's). Sometime in the...
Taken near the beginning of the Seven Mile Bridge, headed South. Brandon was floored when we told him the old bridge used to contain a railroad track! Looking for fishies and other sea creatures off the pier on White...
Big Pine Key is just a short distance southward after crossing the Seven Mile Bridge in the Florida Keys. It's the home of of the Key Deer. Just a few feet after passing the first "Deer Crossing" sign, we saw...
There's a small chance a little girl will join our family soon. She's about a foot tall, weighs about ten pounds, and walks on all fours. Her name is Sassy. Isn't she adorable?! My friend C came by last night...
So my little sister and I are doggie-sitting my uncle's dog over the weekend. At first I wasn't sure if we would be in charge of one doggie or two, or if we would be keeping them at my house...
It should not be 84 degrees on December 29th...it's unnatural, even for Miami! We spent the day at the zoo with my sis and her two boys, and a few friends, and it felt like late spring/early summer. We did...
WB and sherlock's bunny Petunia got sick suddenly and passed away late last night. Rest in peace, beautiful bunny....
After a lovely waffles and eggs breakfast, we lounged around the house for most of the late morning and early afternoon. My legs still hurt from climbing those 109 steps, which proves I'm definitely out of shape. We then took...
Yesterday's field trip was great! The kids had a blast, and it was nice and breezy, not at all hot and sticky as we expected. We went to the two dolphin shows, had lunch, then saw the killer whale show....
There was a story on the evening news yesterday (wish I could find the link) about three kittens that were thrown out of a car onto the street in Miami Beach around mid-day. Unfortunately two kittens didn’t survive, and the...
After picking up Brandon yesterday, we stopped at the pet shop, just a few doors down from his school. We were only going to look and see what they had, but both Eric and Brandon fell in love with this...
When my nephew Mikey turned 1 in August of 2004, my sister threw him a huge Nemo-themed birthday bash. For favors, she bought all the guests (the kids) a betta fish. I'm sad to say that our beautiful red betta,...
