Cutie

We weighed Marvin a few days ago and he was a whopping 68 pounds! Can't hardly believe it...when he first arrived, he was 14 pounds. I guess we can't say we don't feed him :-)

Busy Bee

Lots of things happening this month...between work, marvin, events...there's definitely no dull moment. Our tomato and squash plants have been doing well and got lots of pictures.



They are all delicious and useful :-)




I'm hoping things will wind down a bit, but there's still plenty more things to plan, organize, and figure out. Hopefully all goes well. Now here's a picture of the pup now on his first trip...didn't go as well as I'd thought, but we all had fun. It'll be a while before we take him on a long car trip again, but hopefully this was not his last.

Softball

Today we start softball again. It was nice to be outside and run. It got warm pretty fast and by the end...I was ready to go back into the icy air conditioned office. I can't believe I just wrote that.

Update: Marvin is doing well...except he continues to have selective hearing when outside. He is growing rapidly. I'll post up some pics later on.

Growing large zucchini and Marvin

Our squash plant has finally started producing squash. There are supposedly 3 different kinds...zucchini, yellow squash, and a white zucchini...we picked a few the other day and one had grown to be quite large...I've posted a picture of the bush and of the squash we picked. They are actually a bit prickly to the touch...never knew that.

Other news...trying to train Marvin to walk nicely on a leash, he's learned to sit and kind of knows what down means. We've also been working on fetching and retrieving...hopefully we can get him to know how to do that outside...we shall see.

So behind...

It's been a while since I've posted...Our new puppy has kept me quite busy! He is very active and is in the teething phase...Unfortunately that means he bites and it really hurts! Besides that I've started to teach him how to sit...hopefully he catches on :-)

Puppy continues...

So...today we put down a deposit :-) It's getting finalized! I'm so excited, and S as well. We both wish he would arrive this weekend, but I think next Wednesday is more realistic. Still lots of details and preparation...but sooooo exciting! I can't wait to post pics up...

Puppy continues...

Wow, so the Texas puppy is available again. Apparently the guy did not come through with his deposit and didn't call or email...so I got a call back from the owner.

We shall see...just need to check up on some references and asking for additional pics.

Looking for a puppy

This weekend, I found a really cute puppy...but he lives in Texas. By the time I called the owner, he was already sold. I was bummed...but this other lady who I had been emailing with, sent me updated pics of her pup...and he looks cute too. Who knew looking for a puppy would be such hard work. S said not to worry and that the right one will come along...just need some patience. I'm thinking...my patience is already spent on too many things.
