Don’t You Dare Doggy!

Mack thinks because the door is open he can come in!?  Cute doggy!

Off Days

I (WE) LOVE our Fridays off!  It is such a blessing for us!  I have never had much of a hard time sending the kids to school, but this year I have had an eye opener realizing they are all there! (except Rett, thankfully)  I am glad I can have them all home on Fridays to make up for them all leaving me during the week!  We have had a few projects, fun and not fun on our fridays.  This Friday I got some good deep cleaning done in my kitchen.

I got a nice little fence put up for Mack that is attached to the chicken coop (we don’t currently have any chickens so its his dog house) so he can go in and out.  Well it wasn’t two minutes before he dug out of it! 

It didn’t work for the puppy but somehow managed to cage a kid??  Justin crawled through the tiny back door (fit for chickens not boys) and couldn’t get back through.  I wasn’t about to cut down my hard work so I made him crawl back through.  Certainly if he could get in, he could get out!

A few scratches and torn shirt, but he is no longer in the chicken coop/dog pen.  Fun adventures at home!

Mack the Puppy

Ryan and I have secretly been talking about a dog for a while, well Ryan has been trying to convince me to get a dog ever since Bella died.  We have so many critters outside, like skunks, raccoons, etc, we are hoping he will help keep them out!  That was my logical thinking.  I just know a puppy is a lot of work and Im pretty sure it will land as my responsibility.  And it has! 

But the kids are happy, and he is a super cute pup.  He is called a corgi.  It is a new breed of dog, only 11 years old.  It basically will look like a collie wiener dog when it is full grown, but bigger.  He does have short legs and kind of a long barrel middle.

He will look something like this, of course not as well groomed, and he has a tail, and not long haired.

Of course the heat lamp light burned out when we were putting him in the chicken coop for the night, so guess where he is living until I go to the co-op to get one!

We have gone outside today and he is much happier out there so everyone cant feel too bad when I kick him out tomorrow!

I have a lot of hopes for this puppy Mack, like not chasing cars, running to the neighbors, eating chickens, cats, etc.  Wish us luck!
