TGIF

This work week has been a rough one.  Things have been pretty slow.  At least it is Friday though!  All the animals were well behaved this week too!  Maybe it's the warm weather?  They want to be good so they can go outside?

Anyway, plans for this weekend  include:

• clean Saturday morning


• visit with my brother who will be home from Camp Lejeune


• bike rides to the beach


• relax and enjoy the 80 degrees +

Best Friends

Jeb and I started watching The Lord of the Rings series a few days ago.  Lynx has been on the couch in between Jeb and me every night.  Last night I caught Lynx holding on to Jeb.  Must have been a scary part?



And I swear, we did not move his paw like that.  And when Jeb would try and move his hand, Lynx's paw would follow!

Greedy Kitty

I have been so busy recently.  Last week I was swamped at work.  Friday was non stop from 7:30 am to Saturday 6 pm for Brittany's bridal shower.   I have barely had any time to post on here.   I am going to try and be better about posting though.

Anyway, when we feed Shirley, Lynx (and occasionally Luci) like to wait with Shirley for fresh water.  Last night I was able to get a picture of Lynx drinking Shirley's water.  This happens EVERY NIGHT.  And I usually clean the cats bowl and give them fresh water on a daily basis.  They always want what isn't theirs.

Handsome boy.

Bad Dog

Shirley has been a bad, bad dog this week.  Twice she has gotten into the bathroom trash!  And it has been so long since she has done something like this.  So, after the second time, we brought out her crate (eek!).   I felt so bad though seeing her in the crate.At least she had a friend in there with her.  (Lynx ran right in once we opened the door!)  She was in there for about 10 minutes, and I just couldn't stand it.  I had to let her out!  The crate will be going back in the shed.  Let's hope she behaves.

busy busy beeeee

My best friend Brittany is getting married in one month!  I am the Matron of Honor and my mother and I are hosting her bridal shower.  I have been pretty busy recently trying to prepare for this.  Last weekend my mom and I went and got mulch for her flower beds in front of the house.   Unloading mulch from a lifted truck is NO FUN.  The shower is this Saturday! (woo!)  So, I am taking the day off tomorrow to help prepare.  We have so much baking and preparing to do.  But, it will be fun.

Anyway, while unloading the mulch this weekend, I brought Shirley over to play with Frank.  When we all took a break,  I happened to get the perfect shot of the two with my Dad.

FRANK IS SO BIG.

Forgivable Friday

Shirley is lucky that she is so sweet.....

...because that is really gross.  I am guessing it is foam.  From eating her dinner.  I don't know.

BUT, I forgive you Shirley.  You are just too cute!

Frank: Droolin fool

Frank, Frank Frank.  He is a sweet dog.   He listens well.  And he loves people.  Really, the only negative about Frank is his drool.   He usually either has a hunk of drool hanging from his mouth....or a dried drool line across his nose where he flipped his head and the drool flew up over his nose. So. Gross.  My dad says, "it's like glue."  And it is...

Yuck.  Whenever Jeb and I go to my parents house, we have to always keep an eye on Frank to make sure he doesn't slobber on us.  I feel bad about that though.  He just wants to be loved!



I bet mom and dad wish they had given us Frank and kept Shirley.

Meet and Greet: Abby

Meet Abby:



Abby is my grandparents Schnoodle.  She is fairly sweet and will love you forever once you give her a belly rub.  My grandma and grandpa came down to Virginia Beach last week for a short visit and brought Abby with them.  I don't think Abby cares for Frank very much though...

PUPPIES PUPPIES PUPPIES

Over the weekend we got to see the puppies again!  Who doesn't love puppies?

I could hang out with them all day.  :)

Chillin with my dawg

One Cool Cat

We have had some very warm weather the past week here at the beach.  Jeb and I try to leave our AC off as long as we can.  Until it starts to get really hot, we just keep a couple fans on in the house to keep it cool and help circulate air.   Lynx enjoys the fan in our living room greatly.

Happy Birthday Luci!

We don't exactly know Luci's birth date.  But, we always assumed it was the end of March, beginning of April. So, happy 5th birthday Luci.  You are my number one. :)

Forgivable Friday

Friday is finally here once again.  I apologize for the lack of updates this week.  Life has been pretty hectic recently.

Anyway, remember when I first introduced Shirley??  And remember how I said she likes whole loafs of bread???  Yeah, well...



...need I say more??

easter weekend

Over the weekend, we made sure Shirley got plenty of exercise.

Saturday we rode bikes to the beach, and brought Shirley with us.  She does pretty well on her leash (after about 10 minutes of trying to pull Jeb off his bike because she is so excited to be going on a walk).  We didn't stay long though because it was actually really foggy and cold once we got to the oceanfront!

Shirley had fun though.  She enjoys chasing after the waves.

Sunday, we took Shirley over to my parents house for Easter brunch.  Her and Frank had quite a bit of fun chasing after the tennis ball.  Throwing the ball is always a good way to wear these dogs out.

And for Easter dinner, we headed over to Jeb's parents house and brought Lynx with us!   Little guy enjoyed being in the car.  I think he would do well on a road trip.  He would probably sit up front with us the entire time. :)

And what about Luci, you might ask?  Well, Luci probably enjoyed some peace and quiet this weekend for once.

Caught in the act

I can never have fresh flowers at my house without one of the cats tearing them apart. 

Notice one of the flowers is missing?   Well, I found it...

And I think I know who did it:

Oh, Lynx.  You are lucky you're so darn cute.

some days...

Some days are just flat out tough.  Today is one of those days.  At least I got these two...And these two...

Can't wait to be home today.
