Good news and bad news

The good news is the Animal Shelter called Joshua's cell and left a message saying we could come pick Dom up today, if we had proof of his shots. (which we do) So much for the 10 days, it's been two.

The bad news is that we have one car in the shop (and it's going to cost A LOT to fix) which meant I didn't have a car to go pick him up. They close at 5:00, which is when Joshua gets off work. :(

I guess I'm driving Joshua to work early tomorrow morning so that I can have a car to go pick up our poor puppy.

Doggy Jail

You can imagine how alarming it was for me to get a ride home from work and have to point out my house by saying, "It's the one with the cop car in front of it..."

I've posted before about our dog and the neighbor's chicken. The chicken liked to come play, they were friends. She even started laying her eggs in our front yard. We'd talked to the neighbors about it a few times. They were planning in the near future to put a cover on the chicken coop, and were even looking at them today. I guess tonight Dominator played a little too rough. Joshua went outside to feed the dog and was disgusted to find a dead chicken in our back yard. So...the neighbors and authorities were notified, the dead chicken removed from our backyard, statements taken, and our poor dog put in the back of the police car. He has to go to doggy jail for 10 days, to be observed, then hopefully he gets to come home. They said we could visit him, and they let him take some of his toys.

Luckily, there's no hard feelings between us and the neighbors, and the lady cop who came over was nice, too. Just an unfortunate situation we have to deal with the best we can. We're just glad we got him his rabies shot a couple weeks ago.

21 Months!

Can you believe Mike will be two years old in just THREE months? I can't!

Well, maybe I can. The Terrible Twos are beginning!

A little Rebelution?


I love how he changes up his dance moves, depending on the style of music playing.

Resourceful?

Mike used to have some little chairs that go to that blue table you can see in the background of the first two pictures. Then he started pushing them up to the counters to stand on and reach things he couldn't previously reach, like the box we keep his binkies in, so I put the chairs away until we need them. He has since figured out another option.


Of course, I took the basket away too, so he tried a few other objects that he discovered don't work as well.

More words for Mike

Mike's talking is taking off! Yesterday he woke up putting two words together, like "Mom juice" (Mom's juice), "Bye Dad!" or "Where Dog?"

He seems to learn a new word every day! He can now say "bite" when he wants a bite of what we're eating, and he's starting to say names when he points out people he recognizes in pictures, besides just Mom and Dad. Beth sounds like "Bapf" and Jefferson sounds like "Jusus" ha ha. Leenie is "ee-ee" and Pop, he does great with that one.
