We could have danced all night

So what a great time at the wedding. Everyone looked wonderful and the place was great. Everyone wanted to be tyler's dance partner and he did not disappoint. We boogie woogied until we couldn't no more. Even newell was caught shakin his booty. Fun, fun, fun.

Here comes the Bride

So sitting out here early Friday morning. Everyone is home for the weekend. We are going to our dear friends daughters wedding. It should be a great time. It is really heard to believe though that Jana is getting married. She is the same age as Andrew. Graduated with him and played basketball with Meredith. Where does the time go. It was just yesterday that we were cheering for them at the state championship game in Hershey, and now.... I am feeling old.

Seeing Zebras

Chris and I have a saying " seeing zebras", it means imagining the worse. Well that is what happened on Tuesday. I was seeing zebras for sure. Tanner was sick, and I was certain that it was just really bad. Well, I am happy to report that although he needed surgery, he now seems to be back to his old self. He ate last night and has that beautiful devil look in his eyes. I guess now I can get mad at him for eating something that he shouldn't have. I mean, he is five years old, he should know better.. I have a backyard full of puppies that eat stuff they shouldn't now I have to worry about him as well. Well, I just cant bring myself to get mad. I am just so relieved that he is ok, I don't care that the vet bill was enormous, or that he won't be shown next weekend to the judge that loves him, or that his girlfriend from Canada has to probably visit another boyfriend. I am just so damn happy he is ok, I just can't be mad. But, heather doesn't know yet, she on the other hand will be mad at him, so he will have to deal with that.

What a Day

So.. two nights ago when it was time to go to bed, Tanner wouldn't come inside. That was strange. He was stuck under the bushes. We dragged him in and he seemed fine. Yesterday though was a different story. Not feeling well. I was very worried. He is a 5 year old Bernese mountain Dog and they get sick and it goes fast. Temp was up, not eating.. Called Jess and she said to keep an eye on him. I took him to work with me and watched him. he slept, i worried. At 12:30 I took him to Jess to get him better. This is Tanner now. No messing around. She xrayed him and felt he may have eaten something. We gave him some Barrium and watched it pool in the stomach. She felt something was there and needed to go in and take a look. My heart stopped. After what seemed like forever, she called. Nothing in there but the intestines were very inflamed and she felt something indeed was moving through the colon. This morning.. Big incision. Shaved belly. But temp is down and he seems a bit better although in pain. I wonder if we needed to open him up. But now the second guessing will drive me crazy. Had we not, and something was in there, we may have had big trouble today. So I should focus on the positive. He is no longer running a temp, and he is on the mend. he will get some time away from the ring, which he will like. Big breath. What a day...

Really?

So you should see us. With our iPhones, iPads, iPods. We are quite ridiculous. So mere asks if she can borrow my laptop for her recruiting and I say sure, I have my phone, and my iPad. Well, neither of these are charged. I can't believe it. And to make it worse, I can't find one charger in my house. I have searched my whole house and no charger to be found. I should have so many chargers I should be able to sell them. But noooo. So what do I do. I plug the iPad into the car charger and drive around town for a while. What we do when we are not connected. I can't remember what it was like before technology. Probably better

Dont' Call

So.. I have this rule in the afternoons. Don't call between the hours of 1 and 4. That is when I take my nap. How many times have you laid down and the phone rings. It is just so annoying. So I made this rule. My family has honored this rule so much that Mere has even called at 12:58 just to be in under the wire. Well, today it was just ridiculous. At 4:01 the phone began to ring. One call after another. It was just too funny. i guess they are really listening.

Really???

So, with all the complaining and whining I did when we had 40 days and 40 nights of rain and cold, that I would not say a word when it got nice and hot.. But really??? 95 degrees??? It has been like the desert here.. No where to put the poops, because it is so hot.. Can't leave them in the house, well you know what happens with that.. poops and poops, but too hot outside. So.. We compromise. out in the morning and the late night and than we hold our breath during the day. We have started to put the two babies, Delia and Aiden in the crate together over night. Seems like that is working. I guess they look at each other and say.. don't you poop on me, and the other says don't you poop on me.. And well, they haven/t Now I have to find a big enough crate for Tanner and Willow together..
