We took our dog to the "pet sitter" this evening....
I am sad! I am worried too! I think I have a feeling of what a mother feels like dropping her kids off for summer camp or their first day of school.
I hope and pray everything goes alright. Our dog is pretty high maintenance.

Our Dog.... 'shakes head' Part 2
so today, Josh and I went home for lunch together because I am working a full day today.
We get home, and let the dog out of her kennel and Josh opens the door to let her outside. Apparently the guys who mow our grass once again didn't latch the gate. Stella saw that it was open, and went straight for it. Josh saw what she was doing, and went after her, but was a second too late.
She gets out the gate and is running down the street, Josh chasing after her. I get to the driveway, realize she is going and not stopping, so I run into the house, grab my car keys, jump into the truck and take off after them.
By the time I caught up, she was several blocks down the road running down the middle of a busy street.
Josh is on the back of a motorcycle. Some random guy saw her run around the corner, flipped a u-turn and told josh to get on... talk about a nice guy! So he is chasing after her on the back of a motorcycle, and I am following behind in the truck, and Stella is running down the Middle of a busy street, cars are driving slowly behind her. (thank God nobody decided to go whizzing by, and all of a sudden she veers off across to the other side of the road. (again, thank God no one was driving the other direction!) she runs into a church yard, and promptly squats to go poo. Luckily, that gave us time to catch up to her. I threw the car in park, and jumped out, walking towards her, and Josh comes from the other direction.
She sees us and starts trotting in the only other direction she can go away from us, of course. Luckily there was an older gentleman walking up the walkway towards the church, and we ask if he can grab her, and she is friendly. Of course, being a friendly dog, she stops to get a pat on the head, and the guy is able to hang onto her until Josh gets there, and she almost slips away again, but josh dives and catches her leg. (don't worry, he didn't hurt her.)
So we carried her back to the car, took her home, and then went to Taco Bell for lunch, cause we were both frustrated and tired and didn't feel like making lunch at home after that.

Our Dog.... 'shakes head'
Our dog is both too smart, and too dumb. At the same time. She is like a freaking Houdini.
She figured out how to escape from her kennel. We kennel her when we are at work because she chews up our door jams and gets into stuff.
Anyways, we have a large wire kennel that we bought at Petsmart. She figured out that she can squeeze out if she tries hard enough and hits it in the corner where it is weaker. She did it 3 times this week. In the process, she cut her nose pretty good too.
So yesterday I found an ad for a plastic crate/kennel in Reno, so we bought it for $50. (good, considering new it would have been at least $125) It is in good condition. Hopefully it will keep her contained....
If she breaks out of this one I don't know what I am going to do....
Freakin dog.
"What?"

Rice Crispy treats and Shaved cats...
I have been craving Rice Crispy treats like nobody's business.... Tonight is the second time in 4 days that I have made a batch. The first one I finished in 2 days. And of course I am trying to lose weight... ahh.... Where is my self control when I need it!
Well, Today we didn't go snowboarding... we will go next weekend. I swear! I know we keep putting it off, but our time is ending, and soon the snow will melt... but they were having an event there today which probably would have meant more crowds.
Anyways. we gave the dog a bath, and she is nice and clean, then we took her to the dog park for a while, then went to petco to look at their fish, then went to petsmart to return something, and I got our money back for the last bath stella got that left her still dirty.
Then we came home, and shaved the cat. (Yeah, seriously) She was so full of knots and matted, that we really had no choice. It was definitely a chore. Josh held her down wearing welding gloves, and I wielded the shaver. She did pretty good, but would freak out every so often. Now we just need to cut her nails...
Here are some pictures or her shaved....
So now we are finishing another episode of House.. there is a marathon on, and as soon as it is over we are going to start The Darjeeling Limited.
Oh yeah... and I will eat more Rice Crispy Treats.
** Edit... We got through 15 mins of The Darjeeling limited and turned it off...

The work day...
So, Friday night we went up to my parents property so that we could help them on the garage they are building. We hung out friday night, sat in front of the bonfire and relaxed.
This is what it looked like when we got there friday:
Saturday morning... lower part of the property:
Saturday we woke up, hung out for a little bit, waited for some other people to get there, and they got to work. (Me and my mom just hung out and watched.) They got a lot done in one day! We had to drive into town twice (20 minute drive or so each way) to go to Ace Hardware, once for nails, and the second time for subfloor glue and screws.
This is what it looked like when they finished for the day:
They got a lot done!
This is my dad:
This is Jeremiah... he helped a lot, but he is crazy! I would have fallen if I tried this...
So, after they were done working, my mom made steaks and baked potates and corn on the cob... yum!!! Then we headed home! We were exausted. But it was a good day.
Today we got up and went to breakfast with my Nanny (step-grandma) and then went to the dog park and met adam and renee there, and let Stella play around a little bit. Then we took her to Petsmart to get a bath... which they didn't do a very good job... I am not too happy about it.... I may write the manager or something. Oh well. Now we are just hanging out at home. It is a nice day outside.... almost too hot to go outside. well, not really, but hotter than we are used to... it is in the 80's. =)
Here are a couple pictures of the dogs I will leave you with..... Stella, My parent's dog Onyx, who is a Black German Shepherd, and my brother's puppy, Achilles, who is a boxer pitbull puppy. Enjoy and have a great sunday!
