Ralphie's First Haircut

Raphael received his first haircut on Saturday. It must have been very traumatic for him as he fought the stylist for five hours. I wonder who was the most tired after it was all over, the stylist or the puppy? I felt really sorry for the girl who was brave enough or unlucky enough to tackle my hard headed Westie. I gave her a nice tip to make up for his lack of manners! He looks really cute by the way. (my boys think he looks like a lawn mower ran over him while he was sleeping.)

La Siesta Del Sabado

Nothing to report this weekend but a lovely Saturday afternoon nap with my 2 baby boys. Previl (short for pretty evil) and Rafael. At night my dog lays on my head and my cat lays on my chest. (my hubby lays on the far side of the bed)

I didn't do it.

Last week Rafael found some old mice poison that we didn't realize was in our basement. Tanner and I rushed him to the vet hospital where his stomach was pumped not once but twice! He was given charcoal and a vitamin k injection. It ended up costing 200 dollars, twice the amount i paid for him! The vet scolded us for letting him eat onions which apparently were found in his stomach contents as well as the poison........... I am such a bad mother. No idea where he got a hold of the onion! By the way... we will all be happy to see his head grow into his new ears!

La Loca

Yesterday I broke my front tooth. I was chewing on my fingernail contemplating a nervous breakdown. I have only myself to blame. I wanted him, I thought I was ready for him. Yesterday my sister stopped by, my first words to her, "do you smell pee ?" I have to think positive so I made a list. I made a list because sleeping is no longer an option. 1.peeing and pooing constantly is a healthy thing....2. my wood floors needed redone anyway.... that's as far as I could get with the positive. My dentist cant see me until Thursday morning so I will be in seclusion today. I called in to Applebees, as the only tips I would get today would be "get your teeth fixed" I have to go now as its suddenly very quiet and that can't possibly be a good thing!

Mi Amor!

I am in love!!! He licks my toes, kisses my ear, nuzzles my neck (basically everything my husband doesn't do.) We got a dog finally after seven years and not just any dog... but the perfect dog! His name is Raphael (Rafael in España). He is a West Highland Terrier and eight weeks old. Everybody loves him...but the cat! The very first day we got Raphael the cat sat under the table and hissed at him every time he came near, he even slapped him when he did get close! We are trying to make it up to the kitty by buying him expensive cat food. At least he hasn't moved out yet! Besos.....
