:(

I am super sad right now :( My turtle is missing! Today we took him outsid to play in the front garden and he has had such a great day. He ate 6 worms the kids fed him and he has played all in my flowers. He got a little hot so he climbed on our porch for some shade, I brought him out a dish of water to wade in and he stayed there for a while. I have been checking on him every half hour and the last time I went out he was GONE! We have looked everywhere. Now this turtle was completly content outside all day today and yesterday, I know he didn't just run away. Oh boy the kids are about to wake up soon, how am I going to break it to them? I hope we find Cheezy, it really sucks too because we were just putting together a plan to build him a big outdoor home with all the fixins. I am such a mom, I am going to be worried sick about this turtle...

In the garden

Today I decided to let our turtle Cheezy come out and play. I feel bad that he is stuck in a tank most of the time. Although he doesn't complain I know he loves it outside. Its been too cold and rainy lately so today was the first nice day we could bring him out to get some fresh air. The kids dug up some worms but he wasn't too interested. For the last hour he has sat under my carnations basking in the sun. Maybe I should build him a little space in the yard he can play in while we are at work, he would love that. It has to be dog proof though so I will have to give it some thought!

Seriously!

Seriously! This is a crisis in my home, I know I have three dogs but WHY I ask WHY DO I VACUUM DAILY and THIS is what I come home to MORE DOG HAIR. Can dogs really shed this much? I just don't understand. And why does the hair roll up into a little ball and make its way across my floor like some sort of tumbleweed? I bet I could build a small person out of the hair I collect in a week. Do you know how many vacuums have been destroyed trying to manage this mess of hair. It's redonculous, its unmanageable, can I donate this to some sort of good cause because I could come up with an endless supply! Oh well I guess I better quit complaining and go vacuum....

Introducing...

This is Chewy, short for Chewbacca or we call him bakky too. Best dog ever, I love it when an animal just behaves.I mean aren't they all supposed to do that or am I crazy??? His only down side is barking, this dog will rush someone at the front door like you wouldn't believe. But he is gentle with the kids and listens to every single word I say which is great since no one else does that.

OK so 2 years ago I had this hair brain idea to get a puppy for the kids for Christmas because that's the best idea ever when you have two kids under the age of 4 running around. Like I really believed this was a great idea, have I mentioned yet this dog is completely insane! He is not great with kids but he has become completely attached to me and I love the little anxiety ridden dog to death! His name is Chubbs, by the way he likes a good binky...

And last but certainly not least we have Max, or Maximo as I like to say. Max is definitely a rescue, to put it mildly he is the only survivor of a cruel animal attack, the rest of his litter didn't make it

:(

Max is a GREAT dog, he loves the kids and he is so laid back. This dog is super calm with the kids but playful with the other animals. He was a great addition to our family.
