The Helper

On Monday, I finished our taxes. It was gorgeous outside so the dogs were out playing, Jeff and L were at softball practice and AJ had the whole house to herself. 

 She loves to snoopervise. Whether it's watching me write or checking out a box to make sure it's safe:

 She's sure a big help lol. 

Live Like a Boss

It's Caturday and yes, we are talking about AJ

Today she had the pleasure of going to the vet for a checkup. She whined all the way to the vet. She MADE me put my fingers in the kennel so she could touch me and if I moved them out, her paw started swinging through the slates. Sigh. 

We get to the vet and there are dogs. She was very nervous. But we got back in the room and everything was fair game! 

 

She checked out the sink too 

Checkup was great. She got two shots and we were out the door in 20 minutes. 

I needed to get some eggs so we headed to a friend's. Well, let me tell you. She WAS NOT SITTING IN THAT KENNEL ANY MORE. She whined and I put my hand in and then she shook the kennel gate so I opened it and out she pops! Talking and exploring. 

 

JUST. LIKE. A. BOSS. 

 

 

Monday Musings (aka what we did this weekend)

So I'm not going to do the weekly chase. I'm kind of bored with it. So we will recap what happened this weekend. 

Friday night: Jeff and I had supper at Abuelo's while L and a friend went to the arcade for an hour. We had sangria. Everyone had fun. Jeff played video games and I fell asleep. 

Saturday: what a productive day! I cleaned house, got a pedicure for the nice weather we are having. And then Jeff and I bought this...

 

2003 Ford Thunderbird. It has been well maintained and we got a great deal on it. 

Sunday: I got up and ran 10 miles with friends. It was hot but we got it done! 

 

The rest of this day was spent finishing chores, cleaning up the scrapbook room, finishing a book and prepping for the week. I feel good about this weekend! 

Caturday is Back!!

Sorry for the long pause in blogging. Some times I am super swamped and blogging gets put on the back burner. 

But...we return with AJ! Because she's always up for being featured on the blog. What silly stuff is she up to now?

She's 18 months ago and has filled out nicely. She is still super active. Her feat instinct has kicked in somewhat...she doesn't escape to the outside world when the door opens. But she's not as fearful to the dogs as she used to be. She often comes down when they are inside and walks around. And the second she knows they are outside, she's up on our laps or exploring. 

Shenanigans #1

 

The dogs are outside and we are eating. That's a good time for AJ to jump on the kitchen table and freak Jeff out, right? Oh...maybe not. I'll sit under the table now. 

Shenanigans #2

 I know I'm not supposed to mess with the gate but this is fun! 

Shenanigans #3

 

Free falling!
