Merry Xmas from the Pups

Oh, THOR and Lucy– how your lives have changed… as we anticipated they would. but part of me always thought, “oh, no. they will always be my babies. the arrival of an actual baby won’t change things.” well. i was wrong. my poor, poor, neglected four-legged babes. the other day i was showing off our […]

a present for Lucy!

i just bought this for Lucy! maybe it’s because i am so excited about TCU making it to the College World Series or maybe it’s because her Husker collar is slowly losing it’s cute imprint and becoming just a black collar on a black dog. i had decided that purple was probably the color of […]

The Big Reveal – part 1

Okay- no baby yet… but 11 days until the due date. (though, i swear i will go over… start placing your bets now, folks!) and i apologize to my Reader, for keeping you on pins and needles, i am sure, awaiting the Big Reveal of how the nursery turned out. it all started here with […]

a taste of spring, and more blood

yesterday was gorgeous. mom and I took advantage of the awesome weather report to take all three dogs (THOR, Lucy and Uncle Neil) on a long walk! and of course, i attempted to take camera phone pictures while trying to hold two leashes. this was the first meeting for THOR and Neil – and THOR […]

I Love My Dog Expo

Saturday, THOR and I woke up early for our shift at the I Love My Dog Expo here in Lincoln! this is the 3rd year for the event and it’s all hosted by Domesti-PUPS.. which, by now, i am sure you all know i LOVE this organization! THOR and i were stationed at the Petting-PUPS […]

SEW Exciting!

that’s right- i finally did my research, gathered the facts and then walked into a sewing shop and that is where i had my break down and decided to buy a new sewing machine. it could have been in any store, really… and i could have ended up with any machine. Sew Creative was the […]

in need of a doggy workout

i came home to this last night: Lucy decided that i was gone too long, and needed to take out her aggression on her dog bed. NO, NO, Bad Dog! i lugged out the sewing machine to repair not one, but TWO beds last night. uggh. this cold weather has kept the pups and me […]

i thought this was only supposed to happen in the 1st trimester

okay ladies… as of 7:15 am (C.T.) i no longer have the joy of saying i never got sick while pregnant. damn. yesterday morning, i was out of milk, so no typical cereal (cornflakes with chocolate syrup, if you’re wondering), but mom was so kind to give me half a loaf of my fave cranberry […]

The Great Lu-Dini

THE SCENE: 5:29 am – i hear a slight rustle in the hallway, then the faint sound of a zipper opening… a few seconds of quiet and then the ambush as Lucy jumps on the bed and snuggles right in between us providing sloppy kisses and wriggling around until she is comfortable. i am exhausted, […]

in training

imagine getting yourself a personal trainer and then not going to the gym for three months. essentially, that is what i did with my new (old) wii activity game, “EA Sports Active” (you may recall that i mentioned it on my bday, here). well, last night, (after a nice jog with the pooches) i decided […]
